How to Fix Ruined Eyebrows

Damaged eyebrows are unaesthetic and the worst thing about it is that it can’t be repaired until the plucked hair regrows. This requires time and patience, so find out what to do do in case you’ve damaged your eyebrows.

Eyebrows are of great importance when it comes to appearance and facial features. The shape of the eyebrows can most definitely change the your look. This is why celebrities turn to the best beauticians to shape their eyebrows. Because most women prefer to shape their own eyebrows you can definitely hear help! I’ve damaged my eyebrows. Shaping your own eyebrows comes with certain risk, one wrong move and your eyebrows can be ruined.

People have different facial features so their facial features can be best enhanced by different eyebrow shapes. The shape of the eyebrow can be easily determined by beauticians since they are well trained and have a better view of the points needed to be considered when shaping an eyebrow. One of the most difficult things about eyebrow shaping is creating equally shaped eyebrows. When plucking and shaping your own eyebrows, one doesn’t have the possibility to see both eyebrows, causing error to intervene fairly easy.

In however you’re crying for help because you’ve damaged your eyebrows you need to know a few helpful things:

damaged eyebrows cannot be repaired until the hair grows completely back. Regrowing your eyebrows can require a little bit of time so patience is necessary the new grown eyebrow hairs can look pretty unaesthetic, but they can be easily concealed using foundation and powder. This way you will be able to hide the growing hairs and look perfectly groomed if you took too much out of one eyebrow don’t ruin the other one as well, just fill the empty spot using an eyebrow pencil in a similar color as your eyebrow eyeshadow can be of great help when trying to reshape your eyebrows without plucking them. You can arch and define your eyebrows using make-up in your eyebrow color and an angled brush a brow brush can help you conceal damaged eyebrows, just brush the hairs to conceal any mistakes. This is an option for small mistakes only

To avoid damaging your eyebrows and crying for help turn to a beautician or make sure to pluck gently and without a hurry. Use a magnifying mirror and constantly check your progress by looking in a regular mirror. This way you will be able to pluck exactly the hairs that need plucking. Try to pluck your eyebrows in an illuminated room, with plenty of natural light.

How to Apply Eye Shadow

Published by admin under pink eyeshadow

Eye shadow is perhaps the most beloved cosmetic of creative makeup artists. Some women prefer to apply eye shadow with a damp brush or applicator. This helps in intensifying the color. Powder eye shadows come in singles or color coordinated sets. Cream eye shadows can be coordinated with powder eye shadows. Eye shadow adds depth and dimension to one’s eyes, compliments the eye color, or simply draw attention to the eyes. The effect of eyeshadow usually brings out glamorous and attention bringing out the eyes.

Eye shadows on your eyes should never be too obvious. A good one can be judged by having beautiful eyes without seeing the makeup on it. That is because eye shadows should be used to create the illusion of depths and shades that will bring out the good angles of your eyes without the look of being outrightly painted on. Needless to say, light colored eye shadows are preferred during daytime and smoky eyes are best to party with at night.

Put the eyeshadow on. A nice rounded shape on the eye takes only a few seconds. Beginning at your lash line moving just slightly past your crease you need to apply either a light shade of eyeshadow or highlighter completely across your eyelid. Also do it all the way up to your eyebrows. After that you should put a middle shade of eyeshadow upon your eyelid, also adding a bit under your bottom eyelashes – (not too chunky). Then put a bit on the outer edge of your eye, creating a slightly darker area there.

Begin by applying a light color from lash line to brows. Shades of ivory, beige, peach or pink are common, but other light tones can work well. Then apply a medium shade from lash line to crease. Finally, accent the crease of the eyelid with the darkest shade. Blend with a soft brush to avoid removing your eye shadow or smudging. You can apply eyeliner along the lash line and use mascara to accent your eye lashes if you like. Eye makeup remover or a damp cloth can remove smudges. Some people opt to do their eye shadow and other eye makeup before applying foundation and other makeup to allow mistakes to be tidied up more easily.

Applying Eye Shadow:

Apply the medium shade on the upper eyelid only. Use a lighter shade under the browbone to highlight the eyes.

Use an eye shadow brush and apply the lightest color from the crease up toward your eyebrow. Just apply a light coat across.

However you decide to apply your eye shadow, depending on the size of your eyelid, keep in mind that the lid and under-brow shades should meet but not overlap at the crease.

If you want dramatic eyes, take your eye shadow brush, dip it into water, and then into the shadow, then apply. It will give you a much deeper, dramatic color.

Apply a lighter eye shadow color above your primary color and below your eyebrow.

To make your eyes appear round, apply a soft brown to the lid up and just above the crease. Apply the same shade underneath your lower lashes.

Makeup Application: 7 Steps to a Flawless Complexion With Makeup

Published by admin under eyeshadow primer

Applying makeup correctly and having flawless, long wearing results starts long before you put the first hint of color on your face.  Preparation using the right products for both cleansing and moisturizing as well as the proper concealer and foundation is key in order for you to achieve overall success.  We will explore the 7 essential steps in flawless makeup application, recommending the best products for each step as we go.  From cleansing to adding the final touches, you will have a flawless complexion in no time. 

Step 1: Cleanse

To start, pick a quality cleanser that will gently exfoliate the skin, this helps clean deep in your pores and remove dead skin cells from the surface.  This also allows for all other products to go on smoothly and evenly, preventing blotching or clumping of in any particular areas of your face when it is time for makeup application.  A great exfoliating cleanser, for all skin types, is Peter Thomas Roth’s Botanical Buffing Beads.  This product is gentle enough for use twice a day without stripping your face of its natural oils. 

Step 2: Moisturize

Next, you need to apply a great moisturizer that is well-suited for your skin type.  If you have dry skin, look for a product that has a time-release component  and will keep renewing itself throughout the day.  If you have oily skin, look for an oil-free moisturizer that will not make your skin too oily.  If you have combination skin, look for an oil-free moisturizer and a moisture booster to use on the drier areas of your face.  This will help each area of your face stay hydrated at the correct levels all day long.  A great moisturizer for dry skin is, Philosophy’s Hope In A Jar for dry, sensitive skin.  I recommend Kinerase Clear Skin Moisture Light, for oily skin, it leaves a nice dewy finish on the face.  Finally, for combination skin, Oasis Face Hydrating Treatment and Oasis 24 Hydrating Booster by H20+ are my picks for an effective moisturizer and hydrator. 

*Tip: The best time to apply your moisturizer is immediately after you have washed your face and patted it dry slightly.  Your face should still be damp when you apply the moisturizer; this is when it is absorbed best. 

Step 3: Prime or Mattify

After you let the appropriate moisturizer soak into your pores for a few minutes (at least 3 minutes) then it is time to put on your primer.  A primer helps with preparing your skin for makeup application by making your face smooth and even as a painting canvas, in terms of texture.  This is a great choice for someone with dry skin, because it is water-based and also hydrating to the skin, which will prevent your makeup for looking ashy.  However, if you have combination or oily skin, a mattifyer would be a better choice for you at this step.  A mattifyer is a product that also evens out the texture of your skin for makeup application, but has the added benefit of absorbing excess oil.  This is important so your makeup will never look oily and greasy.  A primer I like is Vincent Longo’s Water Canvas Base Primer, it keeps your makeup from feathering or creasing because of its water-gel base.  For a mattifyer, Peter Thomas Roth’s Anti-Mattifying Gel provides great results and helps makeup wear smoothly for hours.

Step 4: Camouflage

This step is optional because it is only for those of you who have severe hyperpigmentation of the face, severe acne scarring, or extreme bags under one’s eyes.  Camouflage is just that, it is a camouflage that is more serious than a concealer and is used to completely hide an issue on someone’s face.  If you need to use this product, just dab a bit, with a makeup wedge, on to the exact spots you need it.  With the makeup wedge, gently blend the camouflage in, feathering it toward the edges of your face.  Since this is a heavier product, you do not want to use a lot.  A camouflage that has received rave reviews is Benefit Cosmetics’ Erase Paste.  It is great, because not only does it hide; it also brightens by reflecting light off of that area of the face.  

Step 5: Conceal

A concealer is also an optional step, but one that more of you are likely to use.  Concealers work well for hiding minor facial issues, such as age spots, slight hyperpigmentation, acne scars, etc.  As with the camouflage, you only want to use a small amount.  I recommend using a concealer brush for this step, as the small brush is very precise and you will be able to put it exactly where you want it.  Just dab a little in the areas that you need it and then blend it into your skin with a makeup wedge.  If you used a camouflage first, then gently go back over those areas and blend again.  You do not want your makeup to look as if it is standing up off of your face.  A concealer that I use faithfully is LORAC’s Coverup, they have shades for a wide variety of complexions. 

Step 6: Foundation

Next is the foundation, this is the product where many get confused, since there are so many different types.  For dry skin, a liquid foundation or crème foundation will work best.  To apply, get a clean makeup wedge and dab a generous amount (but not too much!) on your forehead, the bridge of your nose, chin and cheeks.  Next, start to blend the foundation, in a small dabbing motion, into your concealer and into the rest of your face.  You should constantly be working in the direction that is toward the outer edges of your face. NARS Liquid Balanced Foundation or Laura Mercier’s Silk Crème Foundation are sure bets.

 For combination or oily skin, an oil-free pressed powder would be best.  Repeat the same steps as above, except use a foundation brush instead and go in a swirling motion toward the edges of your face.  In either case, when finished applying the foundation, lightly dab excess off of your face using a makeup puff or cotton balls.  This will give you a more natural look.  LORAC’S Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder Makeup is a great choice.

Step 7: Highlights

“Highlights” is what I consider to be the remaining parts of makeup application.  This includes eyeshadow, mascara, blush, lip gloss, and/or lipstick.  These items can be put on in moderation or not at all, as they are only the icing on the cake.  

For eyeshadow, less is always more, especially if you are new to makeup.  Using a soft eyeshadow brush, gently sweep your eyelids with a color you have chosen.  Once you have dipped the brush into the eyeshadow, gently tap the excess off before applying to your face.  COLORON Professional offers eyeshadow sets in various color palates, which is very useful when you want to find a shade that is just right for you.

For mascara, choose one that matches the color of your hair for the most natural results.  Dior DiorShow Mascara is a celebrity favorite because it volumizes, lengthens, and curls lashes all at the same time!

For blush, just a hint should be added to the apple of your cheeks.  This is the part of your cheek that sticks out when you smile.  Using a blush brush, lightly sweep your brush through the blush, tap off excess, and then gently glide across the apple of your cheek.  LANCOME BLUSH SUBTIL-Delicate Oil-Free Powder Blush is a red-carpet staple, because it is nearly impossible to put on too much blush with this product. 

For lips, lip gloss is best, it provides a softer finish and longer wear.  I do not recommend lip liner, even if you have thin lips, because it can run and make you have an off-center lip line.  My pick for lip gloss is CARGO’s XXX Shine Lip Gloss, it adds just enough color and stays in place for hours.

 

From cleansing to highlights, I know you are well on your way to applying makeup like a pro.  As with anything else, makeup application takes practice and with time you will get better and more efficient.  Don’t give up if you don’t get it the first time because soon you will have the flawless complexion of your dreams.
