Glitter Pink Ombre | Get the look!

 

1. Apply a coat of light pink lipstick to your entire lips. Matte lipstick works best for this look.

2. Using a lip brush, start at the corners of your mouth and blend in a slightly darker shade of pink.

3. For a deeper ombre, go back in with a dark pink. I used a dark red. Darken only the very corners of your lips.

4. Make sure everything is blended well. Dabbing your finger over the lipstick will help to blend the colors.

4 ways to get rid of pimples fast

 

Toothpaste
The toothpaste that you use every morning to clean your teeth also can be used to treat pimples quickly. It is most effective when used following the ice remedy. You must use white toothpaste; avoid using gel toothpaste.

1. Apply some white toothpaste over the affected skin area before going to bed.
2. In the morning, wash your face with water and you will see a significant improvement in the swelling.

If you wish, you can repeat the process in the daytime also. Just make sure the toothpaste remains on the pimples for at least half an hour.

 Ice
Ice can be used to quickly get rid of pimples. It helps in improving blood circulation to the affected area, and in freezing the skin pores and removing dirt and oil accumulated on the skin. You can use ice cubes or crushed ice, whichever is convenient.    

1. Wrap the ice in a piece of cloth and hold it on the affected skin area for a few seconds.

Makeup Tutorials: Highlighting and Contouring - Beauty by JJ

A lot of people get confused when they hear highlighting and contouring, I used to be so I know. Well here are the difference and how you can achieve it. The truth is most celebs you thinks are flawless uses this trick. So I think it is time you start too.

Highlighting is when you use a lighter shade on the higher planes of the face such as the cheekbones, brow bones, nose, chin, cupid’s bow of the lips, under the eyes, and inside the tear ducts. The idea is to mimic the effect of light on the face.

While Contouring is using a darker color to hollow or recede. Like making a wide nose pointy by shading either side, starting from below the bridge and ending above the nostrils, and contouring under the jawbone to define the jawline and slim the neck.

There are lots of videos on highlighting and contouring which I will be bringing so you know the right shade for your skin colour. But for today let take a look at how Jennie Jenkins highlights and contour. I learned  most of the things I know about makeup from her.

6 Eye shadow mistakes you should avoid

Makeup should be used to enhance our natural beauty not to make us look like a masquerade. The eye no doubt get most of the attention more than other features in our body so we must be careful with what and how we apply our eye shadows. Below are most mistakes we should avoid...

1) Using blush as an eyeshadow.
Many makeup artists advice time saving makeup tricks and one of them is to sweep your blush colour across your lids and use it as your eyeshadow. This tip can sound useful and time saving but, in most cases, it can only look good on artistic pictures for glossy magazines. Rose, red or peachy colours, usually, don’t look flattering on our eyes in real life. So, avoid using your blush as an eyeshadow!

2) Liquid foundation as an eyeshadow base.

When you apply your liquid foundation on your lids as a base for your eye makeup, in most cases it creates more harm than good, because the foundation wasn’t designed for this purpose; it’s more likely to crease and can make your eyes look tired instead of pretty. To get a neat and beautiful eye makeup – apply an eyeshadow primer first and then only apply your eyeshadow. Most eyeshadow primers will help your makeup last longer and stay crease-free.

3) Going too bright.
There is nothing wrong with experimenting…but as for eye makeup, very bright or neon colours only look

Hello ladies! the "Brazilian Hair" you are carrying about may be "Goat Hair" (See!)

Hehehehe... Imagine after killing yourself, saving money, even fighting and breaking up with your spouse(yes a lot of girls did it) just to make sure you buy a Brazillian, Peruvian and so on hair to keep up with the craze of "I must belong", you end up buying a goat hair. (hmm that is hands falling big time).

According to BBC, because of the increased costs of obtaining high-quality human hair, manufacturers in China have resorted to buying moderate quantities of real hair (which is often Chinese hair), and then mixing it with goat hair to save costs and to increase the volume of supply.

Lily,  a Chinese woman manufactures and sells wigs and other extensions was one of the people who made this revelation to BBC.

“We say it is Indian hair or Brazilian hair, but in fact it is normally Chinese hair or even goat hair. They never realise. This is the only way we can keep things cheap,” she said. pls keep reading + photos below.......
