Remedy For Common EyeBrow Problems
The shape of your eyebrows can enhance your appearance and it does so by flattering
your facial shape, balancing your features, and framing your face. If you have
thick, full eyebrows, you might need to tweeze them; if you have thin, small
eyebrows, you may need to fill them in with a pencil. Either way, here is how
to find a shape that’s flattering to any face.
Problem
1: Not-so full brows
Remedy: Sparse brows
can be easily patched-up with a precision pencil.

Things You Never Knew About Your Eyelashes
If you’re anything like me, you probably spend a lot of
time trying to lengthen, plump and curl your eyelashes. It’s easy to forget
that they aren’t just an accessory—they actually protect your eyes from
irritants like dust, sweat, and even the sun.
So while we are busy doing all we
can to have fuller, sexier lashes, there are some must-know facts that will
keep your lashes healthy and gorgeous.
1. They Require Some TLC
Eyelashes are
made out of the same components as hair—and just as your hair gets dirty, so do
your eyelashes. Protecting your eyes can be dirty work, causing a buildup of
dust, sweat, and mascara. For a gentle cleanse, press a warm compress to the
lids before washing lashes with baby shampoo.

What Do Your Brows Say About You?
Did you know that the shape of your eyebrows might be communicating a false message about what you’re feeling?
I was reading an article on a study published last year in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, where researchers digitally altered a photo of a woman’s face to create different eyebrow shapes and showed the pictures to 20 people, asking them to what degree the various photos conveyed emotions like fatigue, surprise, anger, sadness, or fear.

Regrowing Your Edges!!!
Who would have thought edges will be so important in this life, back in secondary school, when people had bad edges, it was so funny but never really meant much. I loved calling some of my friends ‘rat head’ cause their edges were so scanty.
Now you need those friggin edges, especially when you’re on a high bun or ponytail. It’s so important and a part of your packaging as a lady/girl/woman.
Straight to the matter, the reason a lot of people have bad edges is cause they never ever let their hair see the light of the day. It’s from one weave to another, or to braids, locks and all those other styles that put a lot of pressure on the edges. If you don’t like how your natural hair looks cause of the edges or something, invest in a good wig, this will stop the weaves and braids from pulling out your hair.

Maintaining Soft Lips
Hey ladies,
It’s lipstick craze for
me these days. But you’ve to have luscious soft lips to rock the perfect
lipstick.
No amount of lipstick, gloss or makeup can cover the hideousness of badly maintained lips. A pair of chapped, torn and faded or dark lips makes anyone look undesirable. There are ways by which you can maintain baby soft pink lips.

Tip of The Day
Olive oil works a lot of wonders, besides its uncountable uses from conditioner, to makeup remover, eczema remedy, calluses and so many other beauty uses.
Did you know you can use it as a shaving cream? Apply olive oil on the area you want to shave, and get your shaving stick ready.
It’s used as a substitute for shaving cream. This
reduces bumps and all the other effects of using a shaving stick.

Cleaning your makeup
brushes is one of those mundane tasks that we must all carry out (unless of
course you like to spread bacteria across your face). You’d be surprised at how
many people I come across who have used the same foundation brush for months or
years and NEVER washed it. Sickening isn’t it.

Mistakes Ladies Make With Eye Liner
We all know that eyeliner can make such a big difference on our faces and it is also one of the trickiest products to apply. As with other makeup products, ladies tend to make a lot of mistakes when using them.
Here are some mistakes ladies make when using eye liner products:
1. Over-lining the bottom lid: Ladies often get carried away and line their lower lids rather too harshly. Making it so dark can make your eyes appear smaller (it’s ok if achieving smaller eyes is your aim). Also, it’s more prone to smudges.

Eyebrows Do’s & Don’ts
I think it’s no surprise that I am a brow lover! Let’s
just say, my brow game has come a long way since I started, lol. I have
personally made some of these errors myself, so technically by me pointing them
out, you can avoid some mistakes!!
1. DO maintain your natural brows by shaping and grooming them, this will make them easier to fill. If you have nice full natural brows, you may not need to fill at all! DON’T feel the need to shave them all off to achieve the look you want, if you have extremely stubborn brows I know some opt to shave off the ends. Ultimately I will say shape not shave!!

7 Effective Makeup Tips That Make Your Eyeshadow Look Brighter
Hey ladies, ever wondered how to get that perfect bright colour eyeshadow? It is a secret – well not really!
I have compiled a list of tips that will help you get the look you desire. Regardless of the colour, makeup brand, texture or finish, with these tips you can now confidently carry the eyeshadow and make your eyes look more beautiful!
1. Eye Primer:
Most of us concentrate more on the end result of the eye makeup, but we always forget to use an eye primer. Eye primers work like a multipurpose product. It is a total misconception that eye primers work for the sole purpose of increasing the longevity of the eyeshadows.
Eye primers also add vibrancy to the eyeshadows, making the colour pop up on your eyelid and doesn’t get affected by the eyelid pigmentation that you may naturally have.
Eye primers come in different finishes. You can choose a skin tone variation to even out the eyelid pigmentation as well as help the eyeshadow pop. A white or pale coloured primer will make the eyeshadows appear extremely vibrant.

Favourite Foundation
Foundation is a skin coloured cosmetic applied
to the face to create an even, uniform colour to the complexion, to cover
flaws and, sometimes, to change the natural skin tone. It’s the base
of every beauty look that keeps our confidence in check when our skin won’t
cooperate.
They come in different colours/shades which are identified by names,
numbers, letter or a combination of the three and can be applied on the face
with a sponge, brush, fingers or airbrush.

Makeup Tips For Your Date Tonight!!!
Got a hot date tonight? Don’t forget to put your best face
forward!
Applying makeup is an art that some women manage to do exceptionally well, and they, just like makeup professionals and experts, understand the difference between day and evening makeup.
There needs to be a distinction between the two since day makeup worn in sunlight ought to be more natural than makeup worn when dark.
Night-outs and after dark occasions are perfect times to experiment with glamorous makeup.
How To Fix Annoying Beauty Blunders
1. Lipstick on teeth
Since when did it become cool to rock your lip colour right on your smile? Umm, never! Try to avoid this embarrassing look by:
- First applying your lip shade with control.
- Don’t over apply after two coats.
- Use a lip brush, and once you’re done,
- Make an ‘O’ shape with your mouth, take your index finger, stick it in your mouth and pull it out.
