With your left hand pick up more hair and move it to the middle. Continue alternating, each time picking up a little more hair on the side. When you come to the bottom of the head you should have picked up all the hair. Now just continue with the rest of the hair like the simple braid156 Simple braid: To do a simple braid pull all the hair back, you may want to secure it with a rubber band. Divide the hair into three sections. Take the right section of hair over the middle section; now take the left section over the middle one. Alternate the right and left sections until you reach the end of the hair. Now band or clip it to keep it in place.157 A fishbone braid: Divide your hair into two and take a very little section from the top of the right side and add it to the left. Make a small section of hair from the top left and add it to the right. Go a head to go back and forth working all the hair in. Keep it tight.

Trim your hair regularly, say, about two to three centimeters from the tip. This can prevent the occurrence of split ends. To do this at home, take a small section of your hair and then gently twist it in a downward motion. The split ends will stick out by doing this. Locate the split ends, sticking out of the twisted hair, and trim them off, using a sharp pair of scissors.478 To keep your hair healthy and prevent the occurrence of split ends, you should wash your hair regularly and condition it well.479 Always wash your hair from the root to the tip, in case of very dry and brittle hair. Since the tips of the hair strands are deprived of the protective layer of cuticle, doing this will ensure that, your hair doesn't split anymore.480 While conditioning your hair, apply the conditioner in your hair, from the root to tip, and cover your head with a shower cap, with all your hair inside it.

This is because harsh treatment of the hair may remove the protective cuticle layer from the strands. Hence, use a wide-toothed comb, to detangle your hair. Always brush/comb your hair gently.484 Always brush your hair when it is dry. Brushing wet hair will not only lead to hair loss, but also remove the cuticle from the strands. Using a soft-bristled brush, comb you hair down from the crown to the tip of your strands, in a gently manner.485 Shampoo your hair properly and then condition them. Thereafter, wait for two days, to give the natural oils in your scalp time to resurface. This is an essential step to protect the scalp from chemical reactions and also would help your hair color to set better, giving you uniformed results overall.486 On the day of hair color, you need to first arrange the toolkit for the hair coloring purpose. Put on an old t-shirt and collect some older towels and washcloths. Get some hair clips for sectioning your hair, a handy timer and a hand mirror, which will enable you to view the back of your head.487 Section your hair so that you can handle you hair better, during the coloring process.488 Before starting, make sure you read the instructions at least two times. Each of the coloring brands follows a definite style or process, so if you don't want to do a blunder, ensure that you read the instruction. Also, do not forget the strand test.489 Put on the gloves and start the coloring process. If you are touching up the roots, be sure that this is the area that you target. You shouldn't be applying the color to the entire head as in the first application.490 For those of you, who are coloring for the first time, start at the crown or at the nape of the neck. This because it is here that the natural hair color is darkest.491 For the ends, apply hair color that is one level darker, without adding the developer. The color at the ends of the hair tends to fade faster than the rest, because the ends are porous and does not hold color.

So, a time would be beneficial in this case.493 After the specified time is over, rinse your hair thoroughly. Rinse, until the water runs clear.494 Make sure to condition your hair properly. After the coloring process, hair becomes very vulnerable to damage.495 Always color your hair, when they are fully dry because color of damp and wet hair may get diluted later.496 If your current hair color is darker than the next shade chosen, use a color remover to completely lose the old tint.

Even though hair can be long, it still must have a strong cut & color.502 Short Hair ,Don't shampoo your short style too much and use products that enhance your cut, but don't take over your style. Ensure that your hair is cut on a regular basis (4-6 weeks) to keep your style in check. 503 Dry Hair ,For dry hair always, use a conditioning treatment at least once a week. For an in-salon treatment, I recommend Aveda Elixir Remedy and for at home maintenance, I recommend Sap Moss Nourishing Concentrate. At home, always use a regular conditioner, plus a conditioning treatment. 504 Curly Hair ,Shampoo curly hair only once a week but rinse daily and use Aveda Elixir leave-in conditioner as a styling product. Avoid any products that contain alcohol, as these dry your hair out and create much dreaded frizz. 505 Colored Hair ,Ensure that any colour you choose compliments your skin tone & eye color. Also take into account your current style - ensure that the color compliments your style without overtaking it!

Many times these colleges are looking for people in town to allow them to demonstrate certain techniques upon for their students. Most charge you nothing for the services. It may be a long shot, but it’s worth a try. Even if they don’t have modeling options you may be able to get a re-color for a very low cost compared to most other hair salons and most often the quality is just as good if not better because the students are trying to get great grades.509 Avoid repeat mistakes: Once you go through a bad hair dye experience, you won’t want to go through another in the future.

If you have a few lip colors already, you may be surprised to find what kinds of great new colors you can get by mixing certain current colors.337 Apply lighter shades of lipstick for the appearance of fuller lips, and darker colors if you want your lips to look smaller(thinner).338 If you wear braces, but don't like them, you might find lip gloss to work better than lipstick if you don't want to draw so much attention there.339 The base, usually a very light taupe, a highlighter for the crease and a main color for the lid, but how to get them to look as if they merge into each other like the colors of a rainbow? 340 My secret: Start light then go darker. Brush the base color to the entire eye up to the brow bone (base is the lightest color), apply the lid color (the medium color) and THEN apply the highlighter (the darkest color). Also, don't be too heavy-handed or you'll have to start over341 Gone are the days when beauty experts advised against blue shadow. Matching the color of your eye with a shadow actually brings the color out (think blue shadow on blue eyes). At the same time, contrasting colors make eyes pop too (think a deep jeweled blue shadow on deep brown eyes or gorgeous golds with blue eyes).342 You don't want the drama too much shadow brings. Apply shadow up to the browbone but don't apply shadow ON the bone unless it's a neutral color.343 When applying dark shadow to the crease of your eye, be careful to blend only on the outside edge. Get to close to the eye and you'll cause your eyes to look teeny and beady.344 Primers are super hot right now because they help set makeup that stays for hours. I've found the secret to keeping shadow in place for hours is a shadow base, or primer. Almost everyone makes them but I swear by Urban Decay's Primer Potion.345 Shimmer makes eyes really pop, but it also highlights heavy lids, lines and wrinkles. If you don't have wrinkled eyelids yet (I do and I don't care!), try this great look for shimmer: create a "nude" lid, but apply a bit of gold shimmer to the browbone. Gorgeous!346 Making up a smokey eye? Keep color to the lid and just under the lower lashline. Don't extend color above the crease347 A great eyeshadow (like the beauty editor's all-time favorite, Dior 5-Colour Shadow Palette) will stay on your eyes all day long, while a cheap, $4 palette will have faded by the time you finish your mid-morning coffee. What's more, quality department counter eyeshadows typically have richer colors.348 Remember the beauty rule "Thou Shalt Not Play up the Lips AND the Mouth." If you're going for dramatic red lips (never out of fashion), cover unsightly blue lines on lids with a concealer or shadow primer and then keep eyeshadow light.349 A dot of white shadow or pencil on the inside of the eye near the tear duct will make eyes look brighter. You won't believe how eye-opening this is. It works so great, I use this trick even when doing my makeup for work.350 Also consider mixing shades if you bought a color that's just too bold for you. Mixing an electric blue with taupe can turn out the most perfect color.351 Women who wear heavy eye makeup and dark lipstick can look clownish. If you want to wear This is a link red lipstick, keep the rest of your makeup light. If you are playing up the eyes, keep your mouth light with a gloss or light lip color that doesn't stand out.352 For "plump" lips, apply liner just outside your natural lip line. Dab a bit of gloss in the middle of your bottom lip.353 How to apply lipstick? I don't believe in rules to applying lipstick. Some women use special lipstick brushes (pictured here). I own one and never, ever use it. Others use their middle finger (I once said this was a beauty faux pas and got reamed by a reader, I have since changed my mind). Most women apply right from the tube. Choose what's right for you, as long as the color gets on the lips, you're good.354 Use liner on your lips as a base. Lipstick will last longer if you fill in your lips with the liner first. If you're using light lipstick, try a nude liner. Then slick your lipstick on top.355 You can line before or after you apply lipstick or gloss. Some women prefer to apply liner first, arguing that you won't be able to see the natural line of your lips if you apply lipstick first. But I find lips look more natural when I line lips after I apply lipstick.356 Never use a dark liner with light lipstick. Defined lips are great, but make sure the liner matches the lipstick or gloss. Dark liner and light lips is tacky.

357 Don't test lipstick on your lips. It's just plain unhygienic unless you wipe off the lipstick with a big swipe of a tissue. Even better, test lipstick on your fingertips. It's a closer fit to your lips than the back of your hand.358 Don't throw out a bad color lipstick. Beauty editors know you can create a great lip color by blending lipsticks you don't like. You can also color in lips with a darker liner before applying a lipstick that's too bright.359 Keep lipstick off glass. Discreetly lick your lips before taking a sip from a glass. It works!360 Keep lipstick off your teeth with this trick. After applying lipstick, take your index finger and pop it in your mouth, then pull it out. The excess lipstick will come off on your finger rather than your teeth.361 Lipstick can act as a blush. But never use blush as a lipstick.362 The older you are, the "creamier" your lips should look. As we age, our lips thin out. Therefore, you should avoid matte and gloss and stick with a creamy lipstick. Also, watch out for dark lipsticks.363 Not all lipstick shades look good on everyone.Your skin color will determine what shades are right on you. You may like a lipstick on your friend, but it may not look good on you. Orange or brown shades, including corals, look good on few people. These shades tend to make teeth appear yellow.364 Camouflage yellowed teeth. To downplay a yellow cast to teeth, try lipsticks with a bluish undertone. Shades that work include plums, pinks, wines and violets, according to Lazarus, a NYC makeup artist, in O magazine.365 Heal -- don't throw out -- a broken lipstick. If your lipstick breaks off, simply take off the broken portion with a tissue, then slowly wave a lit match under the broken piece of lipstick. When it's melted a bit, put it back on the base, swivel it down and put it in the fridge -- uncovered -- for 30 minutes.366 Lipstick done? You might notice there's still a bit of lipstick down in the tube. Scrape out the last bits with a cotton swap or orange stick and mix it with Vaseline or lip gloss in a lipstick palette. Use a lip brush to apply. 367 I also love this tip shared by reader Patti Campbell. She scoops out the lipstick remnants from the bottoms of her tubes and she puts them in a pill case, "the one with the days of the week individually capped." She then nukes the pill case until the lipstick melts. Campbell uses a lip brush and enjoys seven new lipsticks. I would think this is perfect for the purse.368 The most flattering nail shape is not long or short or square, it's "squoval" -- not quite square and not quite oval. Get the look yourself by filing nails into a shape that mirrors the curve of your nail base. Square tips can make fingers look chubby, according to nail guru Deborah Lippmann in InStyle Magazine. 369 To ensure your nails are the same length after filing, line each nail up with its counterpart.370 Don't shake the nail polish bottle, instead roll it between your palms. This mixes the polish without causing air bubbles.371 Before polishing clean nails, soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover and swipe across nails. This will remove any excess oils or soap than can cause peeling once polish is applied.372 5. One trick for applying nail polish: Hold the brush between the thumb and middle finger while resting your forefinger on the top of the cap.373 6. To get the best results, apply thin layers. Start with a thin layer of basecoat, then apply a thin layer of polish down the middle then one on the left and one on the right. After the first coat dries for a couple minutes, repeat, then follow with a thin layer of topcoat.374 7. Once your pedicure or manicure is complete, run an orangewood stick dipped in nail polish remover along either side of nail to fix any mistakes.375 8. Speed up the drying process by aiming a blow-dryer at toes (set on cool) for a minute at a time. Be sure to keep the dryer at least 12 inches from your feet.376 9. Gotta leave the house before your pedicure is dry? Apply cuticle oil over the polish. This will keep anything from sticking to your polish.377 10. If nails are yellowed or stained, apply a drop of lemon or lavender oil onto the nails and then use a buffer to buff off the stains. You can also buff nails with a peroxide toothpaste such as Arm & Hammer Peroxicare.378 11. For an extra spa feeling to your home pedicure, nuke a damp towel in the microwave for a couple minutes, slather feet in moisturizer and wrap them in the warm towel.379 Manicures at the Salon380 It's my professional opinion that real nails are much classier than fakes. They are also much better for your nail health. So check out these 5 really, really tacky manicure trends and skip the fakes. 381 If you are super-paranoid about germs in nail salons, you can bring along your own tools for your manicure.382 Cut the cuticle or not? Ji Baek, owner of the Rescue Beauty Lounges in New York City, recommends people not cut their own cuticles.383 The cuticle is there to protect the nail bed and a cut on a nail can easily become infected. Instead, push the cuticle back with an orangewood stick covered in a cotton ball. According to Baek, professionals are trained in cuticle cutting so most can be trusted. If you are paranoid (manicurists have accidentally cut into my skin one too many times for me), simply ask them not to cut.384 Like the look of clean, nude nails? Skip the polish and ask for a buffing or buff your own nails with a good buffer. Buffing removes ridges and creates a high shine that clear polish tries to emulate. About 30 percent of Baek's clients ask for a buffing over polish. "Fashion editors have it done before they go to shows in Europe," says Baek in InStyle Magazine.385 Skip the fast-drying topcoat unless you are in a hurry. Salons like to charge an extra dollar or two on this gimmick. While these coats do dry faster, they are more susceptible to chipping.386 Protecting Your Manicure387 A fresh swipe of topcoat every other day on your manicure and once a week on your pedicure will keep the polish from chipping. 388 When it comes to chipped polish, a nail buffer is your best friend. Repair a chip by smoothing the ragged edges with a buffer (the more smooth the chip is, the better the fix is). Fill in the chip with polish. Once it's dry, apply a coat over the entire nail.389 Don't file nails after a shower, when they are too soft. File in one direction only to prevent tears.390 For a pedicure, use a special pedicure nail clipper made for clipping toenails. The straight-edge works better for feet because they don't allow nails to become curved, which can lead to painful ingrown nails (been there, done that). You can round the edges slightly with a file.391 Since cotton balls can leave behind fuzzies, consider a cotton band like Miss Webril (about $6 at beauty stores) instead. For stubborn polish that stains, press the cotton on the nail for several seconds before wiping off. Don't be stingy with the polish remover, says Baek in InStyle magazine. The more nail remover you have on the cotton, the easier it will be to remove.392 Protect a manicure by wearing rubber gloves when cleaning and gardening.393 If you suffer from dry cuticles, keep cuticle oil in your bag or on your desk at all times. Cuticle oils tend to be more effective than creams.394 Nail-biter? Get a manicure every week for 12 weeks. According to Baek in "Confessions of a Beauty Editor," if you can commit to 12 weeks, you won't bite your nails. It tastes gross and you'll also think twice because of the cost of getting nails done. Baek says many women backslide in week 3, but she suggests persevering.395 Pedicures: The Secret to Super-Soft Feet396 To keep dead skin off of your feet, try the PedEgg, which works as long as you don't overuse. It's best to use the PedEgg on dry feet. 397 Keep dead skin at bay by regularly exfoliating in the shower with a pumice stone. Apply a thick lotion or cream (I love Eucerin's Aquaphor) to feet then wear socks to bed.398 For extra soft feet, try this trick from "Confessions of a Beauty Editor,": Apply a thick coat of diaper rash cream to feet (yes, that's what they meant), put feet in a thin plastic bag, then put socks over it. If you can sleep like that (there is no way I could without pulling off the socks and bag in my sleep and ending up with sheets full of diaper rash goo), then you are guaranteed the softest feet ever in the morning.399 Don't grow out nails more than an eighth to a quarter inch past the tips of your fingers, according to "Confessions of a Beauty Editor." Anything longer is verging on tacky.400 In her book, "How Not to Look Old," Charla Krupp says nothing ages you more than red nail polish, fake nails and bad French manicures (too-white polish and an edge that's not thin). She suggests keeping the fun, crazy colors on your feet and keeping your fingernails neutral.401 In "Confessions of a Beauty Editor" the beauty editors confess to lazy pedicures. They wait until nighttime to paint on a basecoat, then follow with 2 thin coats of polish and another thin coat of topcoat and <i>they don't bother to keep polish within the lines.</i> In the morning shower, they reach down and scrape off the excess. They swear it works. I'm too lazy to do my own pedicures so I've never tried it. I'd rather pay a professional.

402 Use of eye liners means adding depth to your eyes: Depth and intensity, drama and expression come to the eyes through the clever use of definers: eyeliners, pencils and kohls. Available in rich, daddy shadedcolours, these emphasize the eyes, create new shapes and give the eyes a mysterious and exotic allure. Eye liner is used to make the eyes more prominent and create an illusion of thicker lashes. Eye lining is done with a black or brown eye liner on the top lid of each eye and sometimes under the lower lashes. Here again, practice will make you perfect.403 The eyeshadow you choose should flatter and enhance your eye colour and the shape of your eyes, as well as your whole appearance. The skin colour, the eye colour, and your life styleneed to be considered when choosingand using eyeshadow. Although there .are no hard and fast rules for choosing the colour of your eyeshadow it is best to find out by experiment-ing with colours. But always hannonise the colour of the eyeshadow with that of your skin and your eyes. Whatever the colour, it should be blended in well, so that there are no harsh lines. Aim always for a natural look.404 Foundations are designed to give a soft, even, natural glow to the face. The best coverage comes with the use of the right colour and product type and not from the amount of foundation you apply. Get your foundation base right - in form, in colour, and in application - and you have truly laid a foundation to a dazzling look - a smooth and perfectly toned canvas on which you can create a really beautiful picture.405 Brush the brow up with a toothbrush.406 Whether you are using a pencil or powder, follow the basic shape of the existing brow.407 Apply the color by filling in the shape of the brow between the hairs where needed.408 As much as possible, work only with the hair that is there. The idea is to shade rather than draw on eyebrows.409 Fill in only at the front or underneath the brow, or through the brow itself.410 Do not place your brow color, whether it is pencil or powder, more than one-quarter inch away from where the natural hair growth stops. This would accentuate the fact that there is no brow there in the first place!411 Do not forget that eyebrow color should look shaded and soft, not like a straight, hard line.412 When applying brow gel, brush the color through the brow in much the same fashion as you apply mascara to the eyelashes.413 Brush the wand through your brows, being careful not to get the product on the skin and not to leave the brows standing straight up. It will probably take you a few applications to get the hang of it.414 Face is the best expression part of our feeling of our inner and outer body. If we have any feeling like happy, sad, behavior and attitude the face is the main portion to reflect it. Natural Beautiness also comes out from our beautiful face. Makeup improves Natural beauty. But a makeup done in an untidy manner will make you look ugly. Having a detailed knowledge of makeup beauty cosmetics is essential before you do it. So everybody will have the intension to keep the face beauty always.415 Natural skin care begins from day one. Not only does a neglected skin fade quickly and smell unpleasant as we all know, but also because the pores are clogged, it cannot perform its functions such as nourishment and purification properly with the result that lack of care leads to disturbance in the body system. Skin problems are a common occurrence, and afflict almost everyone at some stage of their lives. So get to know skin care tips.416 Use a gel blush or a cream blush instead of powder in a shade of pink and it will look more natural. Gels or creams are more transparent and blend smoothly. Rub them onto your cheekbones and blend upwards towards your eye for a glowing rosy complexion.417 To fix unpolished nails, fail nails into square shape, buff them to give some shine and then apply a clear coat of polish. Then rub a little cuticle oil around the edges of your nails and apply rich moisturizer on your hand. In about 15 minutes your hand will have a polished look.418 The trend now is to have natural looking eyebrows and not thin, arched brows. Use a tinted brow definer or eye shadow to fill your brows if they are scanty.419 Before you sharpen your eyeliner or lip liner keep it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. The pencil will harden a little and will not break when sharpened.420 Women whose eyes are deep-set should use liquid liner instead of pencil eyeliner. Liquid liner does not smudge easily and will not smudge in the crease of the lid in deep-set eyes.421 To prevent mascara flaking off and smudging on your face, apply a thin coat of mascara on your top lashes only. Then brush your lashes with an eyelash brush to prevent clumpy mascara build-up.422 Before curling your eyelashes, heat the eyelash curler with a hair dryer for a few seconds. Test to make sure that it is not very hot and then apply it on your eyelashes. The heat will ensure that the curl stays in place on extra long eyelashes.423 Before buying a concealer or foundation, test the color on the inside of your wrist. The skin here is unblemished and will give you an idea on how the color will look on your face.424 To extend the life of your foundation mix a drop of your moisturizer to create a glowing look for your skin.425 Apply foundation after you have done your eye make-up. This way you will be able to fix any mascara or eyeliner smudges.426 To prevent your lips from feeling dry when you apply matte lipstick, apply lip balm on your lips before start your make up. By the time you do your eyes and the rest of the face your lips would have absorbed the balm and will be ready for the matte lipstick.427 To make lipstick last for longer shade your lips with lip liner before you apply lipstick.428 If you have applied nail polish in a sloppy fashion, then just soak your nails once they are dry in warm water for a few minutes and them rub off the extra nail polish with a finger.429 Dark eye shadow can be used as eyeliner as well. Use a very flat brush, wet is and dip it in dark eye shadow. Wriggle the brush into your lash line paying special attention to the space between the lashes and then use the color just above your lash line.430 To complete your ‘mineral makeup look’ use a setting powder. This will prevent the mineral powder from melting. The makeup will hold together for longer periods of time when you use a setting powder. You can apply the setting powder just like you would a foundation or a base.431 You will definitely need your foundation to cover up the blemishes on your face. You literally will have to dab foundation cream onto your blemishes for this. Dab a fingertip-sized dollop of foundation on your face and rub it in to cover your blemishes. Also, make it a point to get rid of the excess foundation. 432 Ensure that your face is clean to the base.433 Apply moisturizer, on dry and normal skin. It is like a white cream which hides white patches on the skin. It is a very good base. It is applied with hands.434 Apply a fresh, thin coating of the foundation followed by another, if needed, else one is sufficient.435 Apply rouge on the triangle of the cheeks, don’t spread it beyond the corner of the eves Spread it towards ears, and face will look broad.436 Apply rouge on lower part of cheeks and spread it upwards and outwards, square ness of the face will reduce and there will be a balanced touch437 Spread rouge towards nose, face will look a bit long and roundness will reduce. Apply rouge a bit above the bone of the cheeks.438 Great eye makeup will make eyes "pop" and attract eyes away from the wrinkles on your face. Keep brows groomed and filled in. See How to Make Up Eyes in 8 Steps.439 Go light on foundation. Many women with wrinkles make the mistake of trying to cover them. But a face full of heavy foundation only highlights wrinkles. Instead, try a tinted moisturizer and use only on the parts of your face that need covering up. Also, no matter how pale you are, go a shade or two darker with your foundation or tinted moisturizer. Lighter shades only highlight wrinkles440 When you were younger, you likely had oilier skin and got used to powdering your entire face. But dewy skin is actually youthful and you should put away your powder (except for the nose and chin). Makeup artists tell me they NEVER use powder on women over 50 unless they're going to be taped, because powder sits atop wrinkles highlighting them.441 You've heard the old quote attributed to Catherine Deneuve, "When you get older, you have to be ready to trade your ass for your face." If you have sagging skin, don't run off to a plastic surgeon. Here are my favorite tricks and tips that, unlike a facelift, cost little to nothing.442 Downplay jowls with gorgeous earrings, but stay away from chokers, which bring eyes straight to your jawline. Love necklaces? They should hit at the collarbone or lower. Don't wear elaborate earrings and a necklace, pick one or the other. Both can be overkill.443 Store lipstick -- and perfume -- in the refrigerator. It'll last longer.444 Never use a tester on your lips -- it's unhygienic. Test lipstick on your fingertips instead of the back of your hand: the color and texture are closer to that of your lips.445 If you want your lipstick to last, use pencil first as a base. Outline and color in your lips with pencil (nude, if your lipstick shade is light) and slick your lipstick on top.446 Your lips will also look softer, "smudgier," and less defined if you don't use pencils or lipliners.

447 To avoid lipstick on your teeth, after application, run your index finger through the middle of your lips and pull it back out. The excess will come off on your finger, not your teeth.448 In a pinch, your lipstick can double as blush. (But never use blush on your lips.)449 Outline your lips in pencil before you apply lipstick or gloss if you don't want your lipstick to feather.450 Women over 50 usually look better with a cream lipstick rather than a matte or gloss. Every bit of moisture helps.451 If your lipstick shade turns out to be brighter than you thought it would be, color in your lips with a pencil a few shades darker than your lipstick (for instance, brown pencil under dark red lipstick) and layer the lipstick on top. Or coat the lipstick with a darker lip gloss, which will turn down the heat.452 First get your eyebrows into shape by plucking and brushing. Next, find a powder eyeshadow that matches your colouring and using a brow brush, gently run the colour through your eyebrows.453 Don't apply too much, just enough to darken the brows. To keep all the hairs in place, spray a very small amount of hairspray onto the brow brush and sweep that gently through the brows.454 I normally use a dark brown colour, as that looks natural with my normal hair colouring. So you may need to experiment a bit to find the correct shade for your eyebrows.455 Don't ever use mascara on your eyebrows as it is too thick and will make a mess!456 Bend forward, allowing hair to fall. Using only a wooden base natural bristle brush, bring hair from the nape of the neck over the head and down to the ends.457 Then, stand straight again with hair falling normally and brush from the underside of the hairline down the strands to the ends.458 Now, brush the top layers into place with long, even strokes. After each stroke, smooth hair with hands to reduce static.459 Increase the number of strokes weekly, starting with five and increasing by one a week until you find a comfortable routine. If oiliness develops, reduce strokes.460 Brush only when dry. Hair is weakest when it is wet and brushing can easily damage it. Even when hair is dry always comb before brushing.461 Since we can't all be blessed with long lashes, thank goodness mascara can make it look as if we were. Here is a very simple method of applying mascara for every day wear. 462 Draw wand out of mascara tube and remove the excess on a piece of paper towel or tissue.463 Hold wand horizontally and slowly twirl as you move the brush from the roots to the tips. 464 To set curl, hold wand and lashes together at the tips for a several seconds. 465 Apply second coat before the first coat has dried to avoid clumping. 466 Apply mascara carefully to the bottom lashes, holding wand vertically. 467 While lashes are still wet, comb through the lashes (carefully) with a lash comb to separate each lash.468 Be sure to wash off your mascara each night. Not only will it smear during the night, you won't be able to apply more until your lashes are free from the old mascara. 469 Mascara is a breeding ground for germs. Be sure to replace it every three months. 470 Never pump the wand into the tube. This procedure only adds air to the mascara, drying it out.471 First apply a Crystal Clear, (Wear Extraordinaire) shade or Top Coat, this prevents staining the nails. 472 Deeply Red, was used as a base coat for nails on both hands. 473 On the left hand - The thumb is painted with Abrupt, and Jet, the pointer with Jet, the index finger with Brisk. The ring finger with Fatigues, (Wear Extraordinaire) and the little finger with Abrupt, and Brisk.474 Color always looks better on nails that are well shaped. If your nails are wide, taper the side edge and give it a round look. File long nails straight across and round the edges. If you've large hands, go in for a square-rounded shape . 475 Apply the nail polish in the middle of the nail close to the cuticle at the base, stroke up the nail allowing the brush to spread. Stroke one side of the nail in a half circle to the tip and repeat on the other side of the nail. 476 Before you apply the nail enamel, rinse well and dry your nails thoroughly - polish sets best on clean and dry nails.477 Always let the first coat of nail enamel dry and then apply another coat.478 For many people especially housewives and manual workers, the hands are the most overworked and ill-used part of the body. They are exposed to all kinds of wear and tear: to the effects of temperature and climate: to frequent wetting: to the onslaughts of harsh chemicals: and to the risk of minor injury and subsequent infection. Yet the care of the hands is often completely overlooked until, say, the skin becomes rough and cracked or a nail is broken.479 The repeated use of soap and water damages the top layer of the skin, and can cause excessive scaling, or chapping. When washing hands lukewarm water and the simplest soap should be used. Exposing unprotected hands to bleaches and other kitchen chemicals, and also to shampoos, can aggravate chapping. To protect hands, wear plastic gloves. Cold weather can also cause chapping of the hands. The skin becomes sore and red and may begin to crack. One has to use cold cream at this time.480 In some extreme instances, chapping can lead to eczema, or inflammation of the skin. Eczema can also affect people who are allergic to certain materials. As the hands are almost always in contact with some material, the condition can persist. One has to see the doctor in this condition.481 Children in particular are affected by warts, which develop on the hands or fingers and are contagious. Most warts disappear spontaneously, as immunity develops, though they persist for a year or more. There is no way of preventing them. If they cause concern they should be seen by a doctor, who can destroy them with corrosive or freezing fluids.482 The main function of the finger nails is to protect the sensitive tips of the fingers and concentrate the sense of touch. On average, a nail grows from its base to its top edge in about six months. If nails are not cut they will become split and broken.483 The top layers of nails can separate and start to flake off if they are exposed to too much soap and water or detergent. If flaking occurs, wear plastic gloves when washing dishes or clothes, and massage nail cream into the nail base each day.484 When nails easily crack or break they can be a permanent worry. Weak nails are caused by general ill health or a protein deficiency in the diet. You can increase your nutritional intake by eating more lean meat, fish, fresh fruit and vegetables.485 Brittle nails could also be suffering from extreme dryness and, if this is the case, rub in a nail cream every morning and night and keep the nails fairly short until the condition improves.486 The excessive use of nail hardeners containing formaldehyde can cause the nail plate to separate from the nail bed. The space beneath the nail may then become infected, causing discoloration. Loose nails can also accompany diseases such as eczema and psoriasis.487 If the nails are frequently immersed in water the outer skin layer may split away from the cuticle. The splits, or hang nails, are painful and can become infected. They can be snipped off with sharp nail scissors. To prevent them occurring the skin should be kept flexible by nightly applications of cold creams488 A heavy blow on the nail---or jamming it in a door---can cause bleeding under the nail which eventually fall off. New growth will cure the condition. If the injury is very painful the nail may have to be removed surgically489 In both adults and children, nail biting is a common habit, sometimes stemming from insecurity, boredom, anxiety or excitement. Excessive nail biting results in very weak nails and in extreme cases, damaged fingers caused by chewing the nail down to the quick---the sensitive skin beneath the nail. The best remedy is often to appeal to the individual's vanity. Failing this, the person concerned must use willpower to conquer the habit.490 Use a Very light moisturizer to prepare your skin. Choose a concealer of a lighter color shadow areas of the face around the eyes and nose.491 Then apply and blend all over the face and under the neck an oil free foundation, which will last throughout a long and hot day. Try and choose a tone slightly lighter than your skin tone but never white! Indian skin has a yellow undertone and here we have used a No. 4 concealing matte foundation by Givenchy. Matte foundation is very important if you are being photographed, as you don't want bad details to show through shiny skin. If necessary touch up your face with a concealer to get rid of blemishes.

492 Apply translucent powder with a pinkish undertone and spread evenly all over the face to obtain a matte effect, paying careful attention to the forehead, nose and chin. Check the front and profile of your face, as they are equally important. Always powder your chest area if you wear a d?collet? blouse.493 The eyes are always very important, as they are a reflection of the soul. They are the focus of the face. Use a brown eye shadow for softness and white makeup to lift. Apply a dark tone at the outer corner of the eyes and blend with white to make grey. White and black make-up is the safest to use, as almost anyone can carry it off. Keep blending and adding color and so as to avoid concentration of any one particular color.494 Use a thin line of white eyeliner on the eyelid, to highlight the eyes. Finish the line with black eyeliner and add a little black eye shadow under the eye. Then apply black mascara to the lashes. Remove any clumps with Q-tips.

For many people especially housewives and manual workers, the hands are the most overworked and ill-used part of the body. They are exposed to all kinds of wear and tear: to the effects of temperature and climate: to frequent wetting: to the onslaughts of harsh chemicals: and to the risk of minor injury and subsequent infection. Yet the care of the hands is often completely overlooked until, say, the skin becomes rough and cracked or a nail is broken.The repeated use of soap and water damages the top layer of the skin, and can cause excessive scaling, or chapping. When washing hands lukewarm water and the simplest soap should be used. Exposing unprotected hands to bleaches and other kitchen chemicals, and also to shampoos, can aggravate chapping. To protect hands, wear plastic gloves. Cold weather can also cause chapping of the hands. The skin becomes sore and red and may begin to crack. One has to use cold cream at this time.In some extreme instances, chapping can lead to eczema, or inflammation of the skin. Eczema can also affect people who are allergic to certain materials. As the hands are almost always in contact with some material, the condition can persist. One has to see the doctor in this condition.Children in particular are affected by warts, which develop on the hands or fingers and are contagious.

Weak nails are caused by general ill health or a protein deficiency in the diet. You can increase your nutritional intake by eating more lean meat, fish, fresh fruit and vegetables.Brittle nails could also be suffering from extreme dryness and, if this is the case, rub in a nail cream every morning and night and keep the nails fairly short until the condition improves.The excessive use of nail hardeners containing formaldehyde can cause the nail plate to separate from the nail bed. The space beneath the nail may then become infected, causing discoloration. Loose nails can also accompany diseases such as eczema and psoriasis.If the nails are frequently immersed in water the outer skin layer may split away from the cuticle. The splits, or hang nails, are painful and can become infected. They can be snipped off with sharp nail scissors. To prevent them occurring the skin should be kept flexible by nightly applications of cold creamsA heavy blow on the nail---or jamming it in a door---can cause bleeding under the nail which eventually fall off. New growth will cure the condition. If the injury is very painful the nail may have to be removed surgicallyIn both adults and children, nail biting is a common habit, sometimes stemming from insecurity, boredom, anxiety or excitement. Excessive nail biting results in very weak nails and in extreme cases, damaged fingers caused by chewing the nail down to the quick---the sensitive skin beneath the nail.

She scoops out the lipstick remnants from the bottoms of her tubes and she puts them in a pill case, "the one with the days of the week individually capped." She then nukes the pill case until the lipstick melts. Campbell uses a lip brush and enjoys seven new lipsticks. I would think this is perfect for the purse.The most flattering nail shape is not long or short or square, it's "squoval" -- not quite square and not quite oval. Get the look yourself by filing nails into a shape that mirrors the curve of your nail base. Square tips can make fingers look chubby, according to nail guru Deborah Lippmann in InStyle Magazine.

6. To get the best results, apply thin layers. Start with a thin layer of basecoat, then apply a thin layer of polish down the middle then one on the left and one on the right. After the first coat dries for a couple minutes, repeat, then follow with a thin layer of topcoat.

10. If nails are yellowed or stained, apply a drop of lemon or lavender oil onto the nails and then use a buffer to buff off the stains. You can also buff nails with a peroxide toothpaste such as Arm & Hammer Peroxicare.

The cuticle is there to protect the nail bed and a cut on a nail can easily become infected. Instead, push the cuticle back with an orangewood stick covered in a cotton ball. According to Baek, professionals are trained in cuticle cutting so most can be trusted. If you are paranoid (manicurists have accidentally cut into my skin one too many times for me), simply ask them not to cut.Like the look of clean, nude nails? Skip the polish and ask for a buffing or buff your own nails with a good buffer. Buffing removes ridges and creates a high shine that clear polish tries to emulate. About 30 percent of Baek's clients ask for a buffing over polish. "Fashion editors have it done before they go to shows in Europe," says Baek in InStyle Magazine.

When it comes to chipped polish, a nail buffer is your best friend. Repair a chip by smoothing the ragged edges with a buffer (the more smooth the chip is, the better the fix is). Fill in the chip with polish. Once it's dry, apply a coat over the entire nail.

For a pedicure, use a special pedicure nail clipper made for clipping toenails. The straight-edge works better for feet because they don't allow nails to become curved, which can lead to painful ingrown nails (been there, done that). You can round the edges slightly with a file.Since cotton balls can leave behind fuzzies, consider a cotton band like Miss Webril (about $6 at beauty stores) instead. For stubborn polish that stains, press the cotton on the nail for several seconds before wiping off. Don't be stingy with the polish remover, says Baek in InStyle magazine. The more nail remover you have on the cotton, the easier it will be to remove.

Nail-biter? Get a manicure every week for 12 weeks. According to Baek in "Confessions of a Beauty Editor," if you can commit to 12 weeks, you won't bite your nails. It tastes gross and you'll also think twice because of the cost of getting nails done. Baek says many women backslide in week 3, but she suggests persevering.

For extra soft feet, try this trick from "Confessions of a Beauty Editor,": Apply a thick coat of diaper rash cream to feet (yes, that's what they meant), put feet in a thin plastic bag, then put socks over it. If you can sleep like that (there is no way I could without pulling off the socks and bag in my sleep and ending up with sheets full of diaper rash goo), then you are guaranteed the softest feet ever in the morning.

In her book, "How Not to Look Old," Charla Krupp says nothing ages you more than red nail polish, fake nails and bad French manicures (too-white polish and an edge that's not thin). She suggests keeping the fun, crazy colors on your feet and keeping your fingernails neutral.In "Confessions of a Beauty Editor" the beauty editors confess to lazy pedicures. They wait until nighttime to paint on a basecoat, then follow with 2 thin coats of polish and another thin coat of topcoat and <i>they don't bother to keep polish within the lines.</i> In the morning shower, they reach down and scrape off the excess. They swear it works. I'm too lazy to do my own pedicures so I've never tried it. I'd rather pay a professional.

Go light on foundation. Many women with wrinkles make the mistake of trying to cover them. But a face full of heavy foundation only highlights wrinkles. Instead, try a tinted moisturizer and use only on the parts of your face that need covering up. Also, no matter how pale you are, go a shade or two darker with your foundation or tinted moisturizer. Lighter shades only highlight wrinklesWhen you were younger, you likely had oilier skin and got used to powdering your entire face. But dewy skin is actually youthful and you should put away your powder (except for the nose and chin). Makeup artists tell me they NEVER use powder on women over 50 unless they're going to be taped, because powder sits atop wrinkles highlighting them.You've heard the old quote attributed to Catherine Deneuve, "When you get older, you have to be ready to trade your ass for your face."

If your lipstick shade turns out to be brighter than you thought it would be, color in your lips with a pencil a few shades darker than your lipstick (for instance, brown pencil under dark red lipstick) and layer the lipstick on top. Or coat the lipstick with a darker lip gloss, which will turn down the heat.

Color always looks better on nails that are well shaped. If your nails are wide, taper the side edge and give it a round look. File long nails straight across and round the edges. If you've large hands, go in for a square-rounded shape . Apply the nail polish in the middle of the nail close to the cuticle at the base, stroke up the nail allowing the brush to spread. Stroke one side of the nail in a half circle to the tip and repeat on the other side of the nail.

For many people especially housewives and manual workers, the hands are the most overworked and ill-used part of the body. They are exposed to all kinds of wear and tear: to the effects of temperature and climate: to frequent wetting: to the onslaughts of harsh chemicals: and to the risk of minor injury and subsequent infection. Yet the care of the hands is often completely overlooked until, say, the skin becomes rough and cracked or a nail is broken.The repeated use of soap and water damages the top layer of the skin, and can cause excessive scaling, or chapping. When washing hands lukewarm water and the simplest soap should be used. Exposing unprotected hands to bleaches and other kitchen chemicals, and also to shampoos, can aggravate chapping. To protect hands, wear plastic gloves. Cold weather can also cause chapping of the hands. The skin becomes sore and red and may begin to crack. One has to use cold cream at this time.In some extreme instances, chapping can lead to eczema, or inflammation of the skin. Eczema can also affect people who are allergic to certain materials. As the hands are almost always in contact with some material, the condition can persist. One has to see the doctor in this condition.Children in particular are affected by warts, which develop on the hands or fingers and are contagious. Most warts disappear spontaneously, as immunity develops, though they persist for a year or more. There is no way of preventing them. If they cause concern they should be seen by a doctor, who can destroy them with corrosive or freezing fluids.The main function of the finger nails is to protect the sensitive tips of the fingers and concentrate the sense of touch. On average, a nail grows from its base to its top edge in about six months. If nails are not cut they will become split and broken.The top layers of nails can separate and start to flake off if they are exposed to too much soap and water or detergent. If flaking occurs, wear plastic gloves when washing dishes or clothes, and massage nail cream into the nail base each day.When nails easily crack or break they can be a permanent worry. Weak nails are caused by general ill health or a protein deficiency in the diet. You can increase your nutritional intake by eating more lean meat, fish, fresh fruit and vegetables.

The excessive use of nail hardeners containing formaldehyde can cause the nail plate to separate from the nail bed. The space beneath the nail may then become infected, causing discoloration. Loose nails can also accompany diseases such as eczema and psoriasis.If the nails are frequently immersed in water the outer skin layer may split away from the cuticle. The splits, or hang nails, are painful and can become infected. They can be snipped off with sharp nail scissors. To prevent them occurring the skin should be kept flexible by nightly applications of cold creamsA heavy blow on the nail---or jamming it in a door---can cause bleeding under the nail which eventually fall off. New growth will cure the condition. If the injury is very painful the nail may have to be removed surgicallyIn both adults and children, nail biting is a common habit, sometimes stemming from insecurity, boredom, anxiety or excitement. Excessive nail biting results in very weak nails and in extreme cases, damaged fingers caused by chewing the nail down to the quick---the sensitive skin beneath the nail. The best remedy is often to appeal to the individual's vanity. Failing this, the person concerned must use willpower to conquer the habit.

Then apply and blend all over the face and under the neck an oil free foundation, which will last throughout a long and hot day.

Apply translucent powder with a pinkish undertone and spread evenly all over the face to obtain a matte effect, paying careful attention to the forehead, nose and chin. Check the front and profile of your face, as they are equally important. Always powder your chest area if you wear a d?collet? blouse.The eyes are always very important, as they are a reflection of the soul. They are the focus of the face. Use a brown eye shadow for softness and white makeup to lift. Apply a dark tone at the outer corner of the eyes and blend with white to make grey. White and black make-up is the safest to use, as almost anyone can carry it off. Keep blending and adding color and so as to avoid concentration of any one particular color.Use a thin line of white eyeliner on the eyelid, to highlight the eyes. Finish the line with black eyeliner and add a little black eye shadow under the eye. Then apply black mascara to the lashes. Remove any clumps with Q-tips. Next, brush eyebrows and apply a brown eyebrow pencil for extra definition.Always concentrate on the mouth, before the cheeks to give the intensity of the face.

On some occasions I even consider using false eyelashes as this gives more definition over the eyes and looks quite stunning in photographs.For the bride's lips, I like to use a colour that will not clash with the bride's eyes and dress and of course her Bouquet…Bearing in mind you have already primed your lips when you applied your foundation and powder by putting a suitable balm or moisturiser on them after you have done your base. By the time you are ready for lipstick to be applied, your lips will be in perfect condition…-Always leave this to the very last. I use a "Nude" lip pencil over the entire lip before applying the lip colour as it gives extra staying power, apply lip-colour then blot with a tissue and reapply lipstick with a touch of gloss or a more shimmering colour to enhance the shadow of your bottom lip and a slight touch over the top lip.

While choosing red lipsticks, be confident whether your eyes makeup is soft and simple. The lips are to be hydrated with beeswax or lip balm to give a better look. This is done because lipstick looks so nice on hydrated lips.While opting for eyes, check with liner, shadow mascara and even false eyelashes and go with it but make a note whether you have stick with light lips covered with a light gloss. Smoky eyes have always been a great look for the proms.To have a natural look always prefer the golden eye shadow and apply it from the inner to the outer corner of the upper lid until the crease .using a brown pencil the upper eyelid is marked and smudge it softly with a cotton bud to have deepness in the eyes.Using a special brush, do the similar procedure for mascara to comb your eyebrows.

The texture of mascara should not be too dense to prevent the sticking of lashes together.

If you have no time to shampoo your hair before going out, then brush 1 tablespoon of talcum powder or corn flour through your hair. Try this out first when you are not in hurry to make sure that it works the way you want.

While blow drying and setting your hair, blow-dry at hot on the roots of the hair. Roll your hair inwards or outwards at the ends. To improve the setting make sure the ends are evenly rolled in or rolled out. Heat the hair for a second and then let it cool. This process of setting the hair will last longer and make your hair look beautiful.To condition your hair, after shampooing your hair take some conditioner on your palm and rub it with both hands. Apply from the hair shaft moving downwards. Do not apply on your scalp. Rinse your hair after 5 minutes.

Thereafter, rub a small amount of petroleum jelly into the cuticle as well as the skin surrounding your nails.Whenever you are indulging in any kind of housework, be it doing the dishes or scrubbing the bathroom, make sure to wear hand gloves. This will prevent unnecessary chipping and save your nails from the harsh cleaners as well.

This cream has a double action, moisturizing and mattifying, keeping your skin fresh and matte for a longer period of time and avoiding the oily and shiny look a normal moisturizer would give you. This way you don't have to use tones of powder that adds a mask aspect. Moreover, you are not obliged to redo your makeup throughout the day. It is advisable to see a dermatologist or a cosmetician in order to find the best products for your skin type and issues.If your skin is mixed, try products that are specially created for keeping under control the sebum in the T-zone. These products can be applied after the moisturizer, but they are also others that you are allowed to apply during the day over makeup without having to use the powder again. If you have problems with a shiny nose, then is that area you should control using a mattifying or oil control face primer and a matte pressed powder on your nose.When it comes to doing the perfect matte makeup, the result stands in the texture of the products you use and not the quantity. You should go for a semi-matte or a matte foundation and use the concealer only where you need to. Also, avoid a translucent powder as you'll never obtain the result you are looking for regardless the quantity you apply. However, a matte makeup should start with a primer. You can use a mattifying face powder which acts like a primer and apply it on your face.You also need a blush in earthy tones and apply it on the cheekbones and nose. Getting matte lips is one of the easiest things ever. The first step in obtaining matte, plump lips, before starting the actual makeup process, is to exfoliate your lips using a scrub in order to get rid of all the dry skin as this might give an unaesthetic look.Afterwards, use a lip balm that will soften and moisturize the lips. Apply a gentle layer and wait a couple of minutes allowing it enters to the skin. This step is crucial as usually matte lipsticks are made from powdered pigments and if the lips are not properly moisturized they will look dry and chapped. Take a lip liner in the same color as that of your lipstick and slowly make a contour. Then, fill the contour with gentle moves at lip surface. Using a thin eye brush apply on the lips a face powder that will help set the contour and prevent glossy lipsNow its time to apply a matte lipstick starting from the center of the lips towards the outer corners. You can choose a nude shade, a bold red or a flirty pink. Use a lip brush to fix everything and make the contour invisible. Pay a lot of attention when applying the lip liner as a too sharp line can look unnatural. As a final step, remove all lipstick excess using a tissue. This will also remove any shiny effect and give that beautiful matte look.For the eyes, choose an eyeshadow with a matte texture and use it only after applying a soft coat of makeup base in order to avoid the eyeshadow to gather into the creases of the skin. Then, apply the mascara and define your eyebrows using an eyebrow pencil.

You can also use concealers to reduce the amount of foundation you need for coverage. Do not apply the concealer instead of foundation. Use it judiciously to cover the areas that need covering. Blend, apply foundation and then set the base with an oil absorbing powder

Makeup will make your evening exciting. Keep your lips soft and kissable with lip gloss or flavored chapsticks. Lipsticks stain collars and create a mess on glasses as well. If you do decide to wear lip color, make sure to test the shade before you had and top it with lip gloss to get the sexy pout! In all cases, keep your lipstick or lip gloss handy to repair the damage, if any.

Get a pedicure and manicure done a day before to be prepared for the big evening. There is nothing more exciting than flushed toes and pretty painted fingernails.

Arrange your accessories the night before. While you do that, visualize the makeup as well. For instance, you could decide on a day pink look and in the last five minutes you won't wonder what goes with your pearls.

You can take shortcuts like - instead of eyeliner use a damp brush to apply eye shadow in a thin line. Not only will you save precious seconds switching from eye shadow to eyeliner but will also achieve a softer natural look.

Avoid buying similar shades to keep confusion at bay. If necessary segregate your nail enamel and lipstick collection into day and night wear. You can keep the night collection where it doesn't clutter your morning frenzy.Dab a little bronzer powder on your forehead, chin and nose before you apply blush. This will give you a sun-kissed sheen. Use a big brush and a very light hand to ensure it doesn't come through like a stripe. If you have a dark skin tone, try a caramel-color bronzer along with a yellow-based blush.

To plump up the lips, apply the lip liner followed by the lipstick and then use a brush to apply the lip gloss in the centre of the lower lip. Smack the lips together for an even application. If the shimmer is too much for the occasion, dust the lips with a little powder.Choose the lip gloss color depending on your skin tone, often referred to as temperatures such as warm or cool. Golds and reds look better with light coloring; pinks and raspberries look good with dark skin and hair. You must, however, experiment with other colors too.Ensure your body is not deficient in B vitamins, iron or essential fatty acids. These deficiencies can cause scaling of lips and cracking of lip corners. Take a multivitamin/mineral supplement after consultation with your physician.Hydrate your body by drinking plenty of water. Dehydration can cause dryness of lips. Increase your water intake during winter to keep your lips look fresh. You can also humidify the rooms to deal with winter dryness.

If in spite of water intake your lips seem dehydrated, apply cool wet cloth to hydrate lips. Also try to seal in the moisture with a lip balm. Apply lip balm every hour or two to treat dry lips and to keep them healthy. Use balm with spf of at least 15 to save your lips from sun damage.

Hair attracts people's attention. By studying a woman's hairstyle, it is possible to guage her personality, salary bracket, health, profession, place in society and more. This is quite a feat when you consider what hair is: stringly material comprised of dead protein cells whose purpose is to protect our scalps from environment elements, such as the sun.First of all, just ensure that you just completely stay away from foundation in summers. And if, by any chance it is a must for you to use it then go for an oil free one and combine it with loose powder to cover the freckles. Apply ice on your face for five minutes before applying make up on your skin. This therapy helps your make up last long on your skin. Use bronzer with shimmer to add glow to your face. Moving on to the colors that are best in summers; it is advised that one shall go for light shades, even if it has to be an evening party. For lips, transparent gloss or any light shade in pink, peach and orange would do. Matte and a glitter lipstick is a better option in summers. Eyes shall be done in a way that they do not look overdone. Do not use thick line eyeliner and instead go for a liquid eyeliner and raise a thin line above the lashes. Use a good quality waterproof mascara so that it does not spread with sweat. Cream based eye shadows are considered to be better in summers as compared to powdered one's. You can choose any of them depending upon your choice and comfort. Stay away from dark colors like red, purple, chocolate brown, maroon etc and rather go for bright shades like golden, yellow, lavender, lilac, sea green and ocean blue. Along with make up, take care of your tresses too as they normally get frizzy during summer season and make you look pathetic even if you are wearing the perfect make up. Keep them tidy and tied to have a neat look. To complete the look use light colors on your cheekbones and chin.Let us see the right technique to choose the right eye shadow color for you. First thing, always keep the season in mind when buying the eye shadow. Bright colors like orange, yellow, sky blue, fluorescent green etc are all meant for summers and spring season and so don't go out wearing them in winters. Winters demand dark colors like brown, deep blue, dark green, purple etc. Apply colors matching to your skin tone and in contrast to your eye color. Do not just buy an eye shadow because it appeals to your eyes, rather it should appeal the viewer who is watching your eyes. Natural shades are the best for all skin tones and works for all occasions. You can go for soft pinks, shades in golden and orange, light red and very light brown. For an evening party at a club, you can play with smoky charcoal colors like; black and silver, dark blue and brown etc. Do not always match the eye shadow with the dress that you are wearing and instead go for contrasting colors. Women with blue color eyes can play with numerous shades of brown and pink. You can also try red but only if your dress has it in the color red. Keep in mind that your eye shadow must compliment well with the color of your eyes. So do not focus much on what color dress you are wearing and try out different eye shadow shades on the lids while purchasing. Pick up a pair of two good combination palates and make them work for you by blending them with each other. But be careful enough to not make them loose their own natural shade.

A dark shaded liner does NOT go with a lighter shaded lipstick so make sure when you’re selected which liner to go with what lipstick, the colors should match or at least compliment each other in a decent way otherwise it’ll look cheap. Testing lipstick at shops is a common fad these days. Avoid testing them directly on your lips. A dozen people must have tested them out already. It could prove to be unhealthy.

For a great makeover you must start with the right foundation. Whereas eye shadow, lipstick, and blusher accent the face, it is the foundation that sets the tone for a woman's appearance.

How to apply lipstick? I don't believe in rules to applying lipstick. Some women use special lipstick brushes (pictured here). I own one and never, ever use it. Others use their middle finger (I once said this was a beauty faux pas and got reamed by a reader, I have since changed my mind). Most women apply right from the tube. Choose what's right for you, as long as the color gets on the lips, you're good.

I also love this tip shared by reader Patti Campbell.

The cuticle is there to protect the nail bed and a cut on a nail can easily become infected. Instead, push the cuticle back with an orangewood stick covered in a cotton ball. According to Baek, professionals are trained in cuticle cutting so most can be trusted. If you are paranoid (manicurists have accidentally cut into my skin one too many times for me), simply ask them not to cut.Like the look of clean, nude nails? Skip the polish and ask for a buffing or buff your own nails with a good buffer. Buffing removes ridges and creates a high shine that clear polish tries to emulate. About 30 percent of Baek's clients ask for a buffing over polish. "Fashion editors have it done before they go to shows in Europe," says Baek in InStyle Magazine.

Since cotton balls can leave behind fuzzies, consider a cotton band like Miss Webril (about $6 at beauty stores) instead. For stubborn polish that stains, press the cotton on the nail for several seconds before wiping off. Don't be stingy with the polish remover, says Baek in InStyle magazine. The more nail remover you have on the cotton, the easier it will be to remove.

Nail-biter? Get a manicure every week for 12 weeks. According to Baek in "Confessions of a Beauty Editor," if you can commit to 12 weeks, you won't bite your nails. It tastes gross and you'll also think twice because of the cost of getting nails done. Baek says many women backslide in week 3, but she suggests persevering.

For extra soft feet, try this trick from "Confessions of a Beauty Editor,": Apply a thick coat of diaper rash cream to feet (yes, that's what they meant), put feet in a thin plastic bag, then put socks over it. If you can sleep like that (there is no way I could without pulling off the socks and bag in my sleep and ending up with sheets full of diaper rash goo), then you are guaranteed the softest feet ever in the morning.

In "Confessions of a Beauty Editor" the beauty editors confess to lazy pedicures. They wait until nighttime to paint on a basecoat, then follow with 2 thin coats of polish and another thin coat of topcoat and <i>they don't bother to keep polish within the lines.</i> In the morning shower, they reach down and scrape off the excess. They swear it works. I'm too lazy to do my own pedicures so I've never tried it. I'd rather pay a professional.

Use of eye liners means adding depth to your eyes: Depth and intensity, drama and expression come to the eyes through the clever use of definers: eyeliners, pencils and kohls. Available in rich, daddy shadedcolours, these emphasize the eyes, create new shapes and give the eyes a mysterious and exotic allure.

Go light on foundation. Many women with wrinkles make the mistake of trying to cover them. But a face full of heavy foundation only highlights wrinkles. Instead, try a tinted moisturizer and use only on the parts of your face that need covering up. Also, no matter how pale you are, go a shade or two darker with your foundation or tinted moisturizer. Lighter shades only highlight wrinklesWhen you were younger, you likely had oilier skin and got used to powdering your entire face. But dewy skin is actually youthful and you should put away your powder (except for the nose and chin). Makeup artists tell me they NEVER use powder on women over 50 unless they're going to be taped, because powder sits atop wrinkles highlighting them.

For many people especially housewives and manual workers, the hands are the most overworked and ill-used part of the body. They are exposed to all kinds of wear and tear: to the effects of temperature and climate: to frequent wetting: to the onslaughts of harsh chemicals: and to the risk of minor injury and subsequent infection. Yet the care of the hands is often completely overlooked until, say, the skin becomes rough and cracked or a nail is broken.The repeated use of soap and water damages the top layer of the skin, and can cause excessive scaling, or chapping. When washing hands lukewarm water and the simplest soap should be used. Exposing unprotected hands to bleaches and other kitchen chemicals, and also to shampoos, can aggravate chapping. To protect hands, wear plastic gloves. Cold weather can also cause chapping of the hands. The skin becomes sore and red and may begin to crack. One has to use cold cream at this time.

Children in particular are affected by warts, which develop on the hands or fingers and are contagious.

In both adults and children, nail biting is a common habit, sometimes stemming from insecurity, boredom, anxiety or excitement. Excessive nail biting results in very weak nails and in extreme cases, damaged fingers caused by chewing the nail down to the quick---the sensitive skin beneath the nail.

Then apply and blend all over the face and under the neck an oil free foundation, which will last throughout a long and hot day.

The eyes are always very important, as they are a reflection of the soul. They are the focus of the face. Use a brown eye shadow for softness and white makeup to lift. Apply a dark tone at the outer corner of the eyes and blend with white to make grey. White and black make-up is the safest to use, as almost anyone can carry it off. Keep blending and adding color and so as to avoid concentration of any one particular color.

Always concentrate on the mouth, before the cheeks to give the intensity of the face. Use a contour lipstick to define the lips in the same harmony as the lipstick.

I use black WATERPROOF mascara on just about every bride that comes to me, and make sure I curl the lashes before applying it. On some occasions I even consider using false eyelashes as this gives more definition over the eyes and looks quite stunning in photographs.For the bride's lips, I like to use a colour that will not clash with the bride's eyes and dress and of course her Bouquet…Bearing in mind you have already primed your lips when you applied your foundation and powder by putting a suitable balm or moisturiser on them after you have done your base. By the time you are ready for lipstick to be applied, your lips will be in perfect condition…-Always leave this to the very last. I use a "Nude" lip pencil over the entire lip before applying the lip colour as it gives extra staying power, apply lip-colour then blot with a tissue and reapply lipstick with a touch of gloss or a more shimmering colour to enhance the shadow of your bottom lip and a slight touch over the top lip.

Apply a gentle layer and wait a couple of minutes allowing it enters to the skin. This step is crucial as usually matte lipsticks are made from powdered pigments and if the lips are not properly moisturized they will look dry and chapped. Take a lip liner in the same color as that of your lipstick and slowly make a contour. Then, fill the contour with gentle moves at lip surface. Using a thin eye brush apply on the lips a face powder that will help set the contour and prevent glossy lipsNow its time to apply a matte lipstick starting from the center of the lips towards the outer corners. You can choose a nude shade, a bold red or a flirty pink. Use a lip brush to fix everything and make the contour invisible.

Testing lipstick at shops is a common fad these days. Avoid testing them directly on your lips. A dozen people must have tested them out already. It could prove to be unhealthy. Apply them to your hand to have a better idea of the shade.

For many people especially housewives and manual workers, the hands are the most overworked and ill-used part of the body. They are exposed to all kinds of wear and tear: to the effects of temperature and climate: to frequent wetting: to the onslaughts of harsh chemicals: and to the risk of minor injury and subsequent infection. Yet the care of the hands is often completely overlooked until, say, the skin becomes rough and cracked or a nail is broken.The repeated use of soap and water damages the top layer of the skin, and can cause excessive scaling, or chapping. When washing hands lukewarm water and the simplest soap should be used. Exposing unprotected hands to bleaches and other kitchen chemicals, and also to shampoos, can aggravate chapping. To protect hands, wear plastic gloves. Cold weather can also cause chapping of the hands. The skin becomes sore and red and may begin to crack. One has to use cold cream at this time.

In both adults and children, nail biting is a common habit, sometimes stemming from insecurity, boredom, anxiety or excitement.

Keep blending and adding color and so as to avoid concentration of any one particular color.

For your eyes, you can't go wrong with matt makeup with slight shimmering shadows. I usually use a combination of colours to compliment the Brides outfit. A soft black eyeliner, (No browns) use black mascara for your wedding day, even if you're very fair and usually go for brown - it'll show up better in your photographs, smudged close to the base of you lashes on your upper lid will make your eyelashes appear thicker and, in conjunction with a little grey or dark brown eye-shadow applied with a thin brush at the base of your lower lashes, will subtly define your eyes perfectly for the photos.

A smart investment would be the a moisturizing cream that controls the sebum at skin level. This cream has a double action, moisturizing and mattifying, keeping your skin fresh and matte for a longer period of time and avoiding the oily and shiny look a normal moisturizer would give you. This way you don't have to use tones of powder that adds a mask aspect. Moreover, you are not obliged to redo your makeup throughout the day. It is advisable to see a dermatologist or a cosmetician in order to find the best products for your skin type and issues.If your skin is mixed, try products that are specially created for keeping under control the sebum in the T-zone. These products can be applied after the moisturizer, but they are also others that you are allowed to apply during the day over makeup without having to use the powder again. If you have problems with a shiny nose, then is that area you should control using a mattifying or oil control face primer and a matte pressed powder on your nose.When it comes to doing the perfect matte makeup, the result stands in the texture of the products you use and not the quantity. You should go for a semi-matte or a matte foundation and use the concealer only where you need to. Also, avoid a translucent powder as you'll never obtain the result you are looking for regardless the quantity you apply. However, a matte makeup should start with a primer. You can use a mattifying face powder which acts like a primer and apply it on your face.

Afterwards, use a lip balm that will soften and moisturize the lips. Apply a gentle layer and wait a couple of minutes allowing it enters to the skin. This step is crucial as usually matte lipsticks are made from powdered pigments and if the lips are not properly moisturized they will look dry and chapped. Take a lip liner in the same color as that of your lipstick and slowly make a contour. Then, fill the contour with gentle moves at lip surface. Using a thin eye brush apply on the lips a face powder that will help set the contour and prevent glossy lipsNow its time to apply a matte lipstick starting from the center of the lips towards the outer corners. You can choose a nude shade, a bold red or a flirty pink. Use a lip brush to fix everything and make the contour invisible. Pay a lot of attention when applying the lip liner as a too sharp line can look unnatural. As a final step, remove all lipstick excess using a tissue. This will also remove any shiny effect and give that beautiful matte look.

Minimum you need to brush your Aligners at least every night before bed and every morning when you wake up. The morning is crucial as it will help get rid of your morning breath.94 Floss your teeth on a daily basis. Flossing is always forgotten, yet a very important step to not only a healthy mouth, but for bad breath as well. Food particles get stuck in between your teeth and stay there until you floss it out, but until then they begin to stink…yuck!95 Not only is rinsing with an antimicrobial mouth wash very important for your mouth, it can also act as an odor killer for your Invisalign Braces as well. Here’s what you do; In the morning when you wake up brush your Aligners first. Then fill your retainer case full of Antimicrobial Mouth Rinse, then drop in your Aligners. Let your Aligners soak while you brush your teeth, which should be for a good 2 minutes. When your done, take your Invisible Braces out and rinse off with water. Then put them back in your mouth and your on your way with odor free Invisalign Aligners!96 Hold the head of the toothbrush horizontally against your teeth with the bristles part way on the gums97 Tilt the brush head to about a 45-degree angle, so the bristles are pointing under the gum line.98 Move the toothbrush in very short horizontal strokes so the tips of the bristles stay in one place, but the head of the brush waggles back and forth. Or use tiny circular motions. This allows the bristles to slide gently under the gum. Do this for about 20 strokes. This assures that adequate time will be spent cleaning away as much plaque as possible. Note: this is a very gentle motion. In healthy gums, this should cause no pain. Brushing too vigorously or with large strokes can damage gum tissue.99 Roll or flick the brush so that the bristles move out from under the gum toward the biting edge of the tooth. This helps move the plaque out from under the gum line.100 Repeat for every tooth, so that all tooth surfaces and gum lines are cleaned.101 For the insides of your front teeth, where the horizontal brush position is cumbersome, hold the brush vertically instead. Again, use gentle back and forth brushing action and finish with a roll or flick of the brush toward the biting edge.102 To clean the biting or chewing surfaces of the teeth, hold the brush so the bristles are straight down on the flat surface of the molars.103 Gently move the brush back and forth or in tiny circles to clean the entire surface. Move to a new tooth or area until all teeth are cleaned.104 Rinse with water to clear the mouth of food residue and removed plaque.105 You can clear even more bacteria out of your mouth by brushing your tongue. With your toothbrush, brush firmly but gently from back to front. Do not go so far back in your mouth that you gag. Rinse again.106 Floss once a day — Although there is no research to recommend an optimum number of times to floss, most dentists recommend a thorough flossing at least once a day. If you tend to get food trapped between teeth, flossing more often can help remove it.107 Take your time — Flossing requires a certain amount of dexterity and thought. Don’t rush.108 Choose your own time — Although most people find that just before bed is an ideal time, many oral health professionals recommend flossing any time that is most convenient to ensure that you will continue to floss regularly. Choose a time during the day when you can floss without haste.109 Don’t skimp on the floss —se as much as you need to clean both sides of every tooth with a fresh section of floss. In fact, you may need to floss one tooth several times (using fresh sections of floss) to remove all the food debris. Although there has been no research, some professionals think reusing sections of floss may redistribute bacteria pulled off one tooth onto another tooth.110 Choose the type that works best for you — tThere are many different types of floss: waxed and unwaxed, flavored and unflavored, ribbon and thread. Try different varieties before settling on one. People with teeth that are closely spaced will find that waxed floss slides more easily into the tight space. There are tougher shred-resistant varieties that work well for people with rough edges that tend to catch and rip floss.111 Guide the floss gently between two teeth. If the fit is tight, use a back-and-forth motion to work the floss through the narrow spot. Do not snap the floss in or you could cut your gums.112 Hold the floss around the front and back of one tooth, making it into a “C” shape. This will wrap the floss around the side edge of that tooth.113 Gently move the floss toward the base of the tooth and up into the space between the tooth and gum.114 Move the floss up and down with light to firm pressure to skim off plaque in that area. Do not press so hard that you injure the gum.115 Repeat for all sides of the tooth, including the outermost side of the last tooth. Advance the floss to a clean segment for each tooth edge.116 Oral irrigators — These electrical devices pump water out in a slim steady or pulsating stream. Although they do not seem to remove plaque that is attached to the tooth well, they are very effective at flushing out food and bacteria byproducts in periodontal pockets or that get caught in orthodontic appliances. They are particularly useful for delivering medication to hard-to-reach areas. For example, prescription antibacterial rinses can be sprayed into gum pockets with an oral irrigator. Irrigators should be used in addition to brushing and flossing, not as an alternative.117 Interdental tip — These soft, flexible rubber nibs are used to clean between the teeth and just below the gum line. Plaque and food debris can be removed by gently running the tip along the gum line.118 reduce movement of dentures, bridges, and/or crowns119 Provide support and improved stability for removable dentures or fixed bridge work120 approximate the “feel” of natural teeth better than dentures121 promote “denture self-confidence”, as speech and appearance are often improved122 Make sure you have a good Orthodontist or Invisalign provider. Nothing is worse then when you're in the middle of treatment and Dr. Smith can't make time for you and there is nothing better when a dentist is professional and caring and you like coming in for check-ups.123 Keep your aligners in! Since they are removable, patients think they can just remove them anytime they want. The treatment will be shorter, and lot less painful if you keep the aligners in. We have had people go months behind in treatment because their teeth go back to where they were, all because they too their aligners out. They come out. Take them out, but don't abuse it. Dentists recommend 20 hrs a day for Invisalign to stay in.124 Invisalign Aligners have a thing called "buttons" that are attached to your teeth and then the aligners. These are "ATTACHED" to your teeth. They are usually attached in the back and on the sides, but sometimes they are attached on one of your two front teeth, and that makes the invisible aligners a lot more visible. Talk to your orthodontist and see if there is a way to avoid it. If not, don't fret, it doesn't look horrible it is just more visible.125 Brush your teeth and your aligners on a regular basis. The aligners can get plaque built up on them pretty bad. (More than you would think). This makes them not very invisible. Brush them. Don't buy Invisalign's cleaning tool kit. It is too expensive and there is a lot of ways you can clean your aligners without it. One great way is to purchase a denture cleaning product like Efferdent and clean the aligners with that.126 Be patient with Invisalign. It can be a long process if you have a messed up mouth and even longer if you are not patient with the treatment. Invisalign is a great product when used properly with the right Orthodontist. Keep these things in mind when looking for a dentist and deciding on Invisalign.

Move the toothbrush in very short horizontal strokes so the tips of the bristles stay in one place, but the head of the brush waggles back and forth. Or use tiny circular motions. This allows the bristles to slide gently under the gum. Do this for about 20 strokes. This assures that adequate time will be spent cleaning away as much plaque as possible. Note: this is a very gentle motion. In healthy gums, this should cause no pain. Brushing too vigorously or with large strokes can damage gum tissue.

Oral irrigators — These electrical devices pump water out in a slim steady or pulsating stream. Although they do not seem to remove plaque that is attached to the tooth well, they are very effective at flushing out food and bacteria byproducts in periodontal pockets or that get caught in orthodontic appliances. They are particularly useful for delivering medication to hard-to-reach areas. For example, prescription antibacterial rinses can be sprayed into gum pockets with an oral irrigator. Irrigators should be used in addition to brushing and flossing, not as an alternative.

Keep your aligners in! Since they are removable, patients think they can just remove them anytime they want. The treatment will be shorter, and lot less painful if you keep the aligners in. We have had people go months behind in treatment because their teeth go back to where they were, all because they too their aligners out. They come out. Take them out, but don't abuse it. Dentists recommend 20 hrs a day for Invisalign to stay in.Invisalign Aligners have a thing called "buttons" that are attached to your teeth and then the aligners. These are "ATTACHED" to your teeth. They are usually attached in the back and on the sides, but sometimes they are attached on one of your two front teeth, and that makes the invisible aligners a lot more visible. Talk to your orthodontist and see if there is a way to avoid it. If not, don't fret, it doesn't look horrible it is just more visible.
