Lusty Eyelashes! – Whats hot at Irish Beauty Show 2011

Have you ever wanted that extra pop in your eyes and found that your mascara just couldn’t cut it?

Have you ever wanted the sultry eyed drama of a leading lady? 

If you answered yes to either of those questions, then I think you are ready to go all the way; falsies (get your mind out of the gutter, I’m talking about your lashes).

False Lashes are lush and glamorous, but the majority of women out there are afraid of them. Some of you think they look too artificial and some think they are just too much effort. Let me shed some light on this for you…First, false lashes will look artificial if you put them on wrong (or if you choose the sort of lash that should only be sold at a drag queen boutique). Secondly, they are fast and easy, seriously.

Strip Lashes
1. Curl your lashes. A good curl is essential to making your own lashes blend into and become one with the strip. This step is especially important if your lashes naturally grow downward (your strip will point down with your lashes if you don’t curl them. I can assure you that is not what we want).

2. Trim the end of your strip lash so that it is the same length (or a little shorter) than your eyelid. If they are too long, they will be uncomfortable and eventually peel away.

TIP: Before applying your lashes, wrap them around an eyeliner pencil for a few minutes. This will give them a curve that better holds to the shape of the lid.

3. Apply eyelash glue (Duo is my favorite) evenly along the band that runs through the lash. Allow it to dry for about ten seconds. Tacky glue will adhere quickly and easily to the lid.

4. Lay the strip right along your lash line and hold it there for a few seconds. Be sure that the outside end of the strip lies exactly in line with where the eyelashes begin at the outer corner of your eye.

Tip: Use an orange wood stick, or the handle side of your tweezers to push the glued band right up against your lash line. Please do not use the slanted edge of the tweezers…accidents do happen.

5. When the adhesive has fully dried, draw a line of pencil or liquid liner over the strip (and the glue). This will hide that seam (which is often clear or white), making the lashes look more natural.

6. Apply a coat of mascara from underneath your lashes. This will mix and hold your natural lashes to the false ones, again, making the strip look even more natural.

How to Do Eyebrow Makeup???

 The eyebrows are an important facial feature, but one that often is overlooked. Your eyebrows frame your eyes and define the rest of the features on your face. Eyebrow makeup can be difficult to apply, and achieving perfect brows is usually one of the biggest challenges in any woman's beauty routine. By following the proper steps, anyone can achieve a beautiful and natural look.

Basics

• 1
  Pluck or wax your eyebrows. This gives you the cleanest working area and ensures your eyebrows have the proper shape. You should remove hair only from underneath the brows and never from over the brows, to avoid ruining the natural shape of your brows (see References 2).

• 2
  Brush your eyebrows in the direction the hair grows. This helps smooth the hairs on your eyebrows and prepare them for makeup application. Brushing your brows the opposite direction of the way they grow can create a scraggly, uneven look. An eyebrow brush tool works best for this, but you can also use a clean mascara wand and get the same result.

• 3
  Color in the eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil or powder. Use a brush to apply powder. Both work well and help give the eyebrows shape and definition. Choose a color the same shade as the darkest color in your hair, and color with short, feathery strokes to make it blend better with your eyebrow hair and look more natural (see References 3). The eyebrows should start at the inner corner of your eye and end at the outer corner of your eye.

Waxing

• 1
  Wash and dry your face.
• 2
  Brush your eyebrows with an eyebrow brush or clean mascara wand. This helps ensure that you wax off only the hairs you want removed (see References 5).

• 3
  Prepare the wax. Instructions may vary from one home waxing kit to the next, so make sure you read the directions all the way through before starting. In the basic eyebrow waxing kit you should receive wax, an applicator for applying the wax and strips for removing the wax.
• 4
  Once it has warmed, apply the wax carefully to your eyebrow area with the included applicator. Apply wax only underneath the brows and never over them.

• 5
  Wait a few seconds to give the wax time to bond with the hair, then place a strip onto the waxed area of your brow. Smooth the strip down flat with your fingers to get rid of any air bubbles. The entire strip should lay flat against your skin to ensure as much wax and hair as possible gets removed.
• 6
  Allow the wax to cool for about 10 seconds. Grasp one end of the strip and pull off in one quick motion. This helps pull out the most hair, and the quick motion makes it less painful.
• 7
  Repeat this on the other eyebrow. Lay a cold cloth over your eyes for a few seconds after waxing to help relieve any swelling or pain.

You can choose not only one color, but also two or three colors to blend for a perfect color. However, the hue of the colors should be as closer as possible.

Perfecting your Lip Makeup

Semi permanent Lip Makeup is becoming more and more popular. Semi permanent lip makeup is also known as lip stain. One of the largest makers of Semi Permanent Lip Stain is a company called SeneGence. This Lip Stain gives colour to your lips but also acts as a moisturizer.

The built in moisturizer doesn’t permit your lips to dry out but instead locks in their nature moisture. Bottom line – your lips look great in every situation. The Lip-Sense brand by SeneGence is available in more than 30 colours. This allows any woman to pick a colour which is perfect for her skin type and tone. Not only that using semi permanent Lip Stain can save you money when you compare it to purchasing cosmetic lip stick or stain which needs to be reapplied over and over in the same day.

So, you’re probably wondering how it all works. Well, from the technical perspective,  the Lip Sense process embeds a colour pigment underneath the dermal layer of your lips. This is typically done for one of two reasons – it’s either done to change the colour of your lips completely or it’s done to enhance the shape of your lips making the lip-line more pronounced and thus appearing  more attractive.

This method of lip enhancement really is quite convenient and economical which is the main reason it’s growing in popularity. It gives women who may have struggled with mis-shapened lips the opportunity to improve their look or women who simply desire a change of colour to make them appealing.

Semi permanent lip makeup lasts as long as you want – it’s removed easily with a thorough wash but doesn’t come off at inappropriate times like when you are eating, drinking or even kissing.

It’s also waterproof and spread-proof – meaning it won’t move around. It doesn’t leave marks or come off on something it comes in contact with.

No doubt this is one of the biggest advantage. So simply drinking water  won’t wash away or mess up your lip colour. Also it doesn’t spread around on your lips like most lipstick will.

That means you don’t have to stop and check your lips all the time . Those women who are frustrated of buying the same lip stick again and again can have the most advantage over that lip stick by applying this product.  Another benefit is that you can still change the colour of your lips at any time – your not stuck with it like with permanent lip colouring.

Eye Makeup Tips and Tricks

You can use eye makeup up tips and tricks quickly and easily when you know what to do.
Make up application for your eyes is not nearly as hard as it might seem.

Once you learn a few simple methods, mistakes can be avoided and eye make up can be applied quickly and easily. After all, the eyes have it all!

Everyone looks at our eyes and we look back with our eyes. Paying a little more attention to them will give you a little more attention! Think about how you use your eyes when you scan a room full of people. Other people are doing the same thing, so you need to give them something memorable to look at, right?

Nobody has the exactly the same eyes. We all have different eye colors, shapes, and dimensions. There are however, some general tips that everyone can use and benefit from using!

Quick Tips for Eye Makeup

Step One
Apply a thin layer of foundation or primer on the eyelids to correct imperfections and create the perfect color canvas. Remember, you are painting a picture and you are the artist. Primer simply sets the mood for makeup application.

Set lids with a light translucent powder if you are using powder eye shadow. If you’re using a cream shadow or pencil shadows as they apply more easily over primer/foundation only.

Step Two
Choose your color palette. To make the eyes look lush, use eye colors that blend well with your hair color. If you have auburn or red hair, use copper, peach, or reddish brown tones. You an also use pinks or lavender colors to enhance the red tones in your hair. If you have brown hair, use dark brown, chocolate, or gold colors. Those with blonde hair should wear ice blue, taupe, white, or cream colors. If you’ve got gorgeous gray hair, use a gray color or baby blue or light purple color.

Step Three
Apply one shadow color to the entire lid. Neutral tones work best.
Step Four
Apply a darker color in the crease of the eye. To make eyes pop, extend the line slightly beyond the crease of the outer eye. This makes your eyes look larger. If you want deep set eyes, extend the line slightly beyond the crease again, but move the line up to the brow bone. If this isn’t enough yet, add a dark colored pencil or shadow line to the top of the eyelid along the lashes. Carry the line out to the corner of the eye, or slightly beyond.
To increase the intensity even more, use an angled shadow brush and brush a darker shadow color under the eyes using short downward strokes below the lower lashes. Don’t draw a line though, as that detracts from the look.

Step Five
Apply a highlighting color to the brow bone. Use light colors, such as white or cream.
Step Six
For added definition, dust your entire eyelid with a light to medium neutral tone. Using a larger shadow brush, apply loose translucent powder to the entire eyelid to help set and blend.
When your eye color is complete you shouldn't be able to see where any of the colors begin or ends. Add mascara and brow pencil, as needed!
