Top Make Up Tips

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Mascara

* To prevent smudging, wipe off any excess mascara from the wand before use.

* Don’t match your mascara colour with your eye colour.

* For full lashes that don’t stick together, use an eye lash comb, or a damp toothbrush to comb through your eye lashes.

* To make mascara stay on your lashes for longer, brush some foundation powder over your lashes before applying mascara to them.

Eye Shadow

* Test the eye shadow on the back of your hand to see how it appears on your skin tone.

* When mixing eye shadows, mix them well to give a uniform colour.

* Apply foundation to your eye lids first to avoid the eye shadow creasing.

Powder

* When using loose powder, choose a colour that closely matches your own skin tone, or to create a warmer glow, pick a powder that has a slightly pinky hue.

* For a dash of glamour, try using a powder with reflective pigments, giving you a subtle shimmery glow, perfect for nights out!

Foundation

* If you have an uneven skin colour, or imperfections, you may wish to use a concealer after you have applied basic foundation. Try to use this sparingly, and for extra precision use a makeup brush.

* If your foundation has become thick or is getting old, it can be rejuvenated by mixing it with moisturiser before application.

* During the summer months, skin tends to need less coverage and so you may wish to only apply foundation to specific areas rather than an all over base, to even out colour. For a lighter base, try using a tinted moisturiser instead.

* To keep your foundation flawless and skin looking soft and fresh, finish with a dusting of transluscent loose powder on your forehead, nose and chin, using a large soft brush.

* For an added healthy glow, lightly dust cheekbones with bronzer or blusher in a sweeping motion.

Nail Care

* Tap your nails on a hard surface every day. Tapping your nails has been shown to stimulate nail growth.

* Moisturize your nails and your cuticles to keep your nails looking young and healthy.

* Keep your nails clean with a good quality nail brush.

* Don’t cut your nails too short, or let them grow too long. Cutting them too short can lead to nails receding, and leaving them too long will leave you prone to breaking your nails. Ideally nails should be filed to just beyond the end of your finger tips.

* Use a file to shape your nails, and a buffer to smooth away imperfections.

* Remove nail polish every 4 – 5 days to let your nails breathe. Applying too many coats of nail polish on top of each other can cause the nails to dehydrate.

Cuticle Care

* Apply moisturizer to your cuticles often, this will help stop them from lifting up and looking ragged.

* Apply cuticle removal cream to your cuticles at least every couple of days.

* Don’t cut live cuticle skin. Only remove dead cuticle tissue. The removal of cuticles should be painless.

* Hang nails can be removed with cuticle scissors, cuticles should be pushed back with a cuticle pusher.

Calling All Women! Don’t Call Him First!

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

The perfect evening out with the girls ends in meeting a great guy and actually getting his phone number, and giving him yours, right? Well of course! You then do your secret little victory dance while he is not looking, and pride yourself on being strong and walking away with only a kiss and a smile. But then – the sinking feeling begins as the wait prolongs. Should YOU call him? How long do you wait? What if he never calls?

As a woman you are entitled to certain things. One is the right to change your mind at any given moment. The other is the right to RECEIVE the first call. So let me make that clear. You do NOT make the first call. Men chase – not women.

Actually, most men LIKE to be the pursuer in a relationship. Women perceived in the roll of the aggressor can be easily misconstrued as pushy, clingy or needy. Even if that was not your intent, it can be seen that way – so – let him call you.

Reason number two to let him be the first to call – one little word – “effort”. Have you ever heard the old saying “Why buy the cow if you can have the milk for free?” Well, from a dating perspective, if you are so eager for him that you cannot even wait for him to call you – what does he have to do? Nothing. He knows you want him, and that gives him the advantage.

But there also another side effect to becoming the pursuer. It will completely KILL the chances of attraction growing, for you AND him. Like it or not, dating is a game at first. It’s a fun game of chase, cowboys and Indians, cat and mouse, whatever you want to call it. But if you lay down and surrender before the game has even begun, do you think he is going to want to play? No.

Thirdly – you are in demand, baby! You need to show him, or let him believe that you are in demand, you are a sought after item and you are not going to be on the shelf for long! Do not, under any circumstance, let him think that you are sitting by the phone eagerly awaiting his call.

And while you very well MAY BE sitting there waiting for him to call – don’t you DARE pick up that phone the first time he does! You are OUT! You are having fun, somewhere, NOT thinking of him. If you have to duct tape the phone to the wall – do not answer it. Wait a minimum of three hours before calling him back. Better yet, wait until the next day. His imagination will do wonders for YOU.

The fourth and final reason – allowing this to continue for a while – him calling you to ask you out – lets you know 100% that HE is INTERESTED in you. We all know what it feels like to sit there and wonder if he really is into you or not. Well, ladies, if he keeps calling, he IS. If you call though, every time you think about him, you are not going to know if he is chatting just to be nice. That will breed insecurity, then more needy behavior and – you guessed it – snuff the attraction.

So be the woman, and let him be the man. Let him call you. And if he doesn’t call? His loss, honey. He was not showing you his true face then anyway, and you don’t want that. So go and let him get you girl!

Women Who Want To Be Worshiped

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

The 21st century woman’s mindset is vastly different from those of Victorian ladies. In the past, women place great importance on their looks yet in present times, looks plays second fiddle to wealth and status. A beautiful and successful woman is deemed as the perfect prize for a man nowadays and those are the types of women that people would love to adore and worship. It challenges the common knowledge that pretty faces are just bimbos that know nothing but their perfume brands. Yet, these women, both beautiful and successful can be pretty tough on men as they seek respect from men especially those that are under them in the social ladder.

To worship is to make the lady equivalent to an object of adoring reverence or regard. However, what are the types of girls that want to feel like a goddess? No doubt in today’s world, every woman can resort to plastic surgery to deal with the beauty problem, but what they cannot change is the substance that determines their intelligence. However, we cannot deny the place of beauty in our modern world. Beauty is not just admired by men but also but women alike. Flip through any magazine today and you would surely be able to find pages upon pages of attractive women in various poses. The media has glamorized beauty into such an extent that it seems to be conveying the message that if a person is not beautiful, he or she is not yet perfect.

Obviously these new ‘breed’ of women with brains and brawn, would not publicly announce their craving for attention and their want to be idolized. Yet, the immense amounts of media attention and exposure that they receive explain it all. One great example is Paris Hilton. Nothing is able to draw the paparazzi from wanting to capture her in their camera lenses. An infamous sex tape, hosting a television series, appearing in numerous glamorous events, and the list of her appearances on the media are countless. Yet, the attention on her is not ending anytime soon. Even till now, she is America’s number one model for teenage girls and bear in mind, behind that beautiful face and body, lays a hotel heiress who has yet to inherit her share of the hotel industry. Beauty, fame and success, what more can a man ask from a woman, and Paris Hilton has them all.

Successful women often want to show others that they are not just the average girl-next-door type of girl. With a history of being under man’s thumb, women nowadays want to prove that they are no longer like their predecessors, slaves to their husbands. Rather, woman with increasing amount of rights issued to them, the era is slowly changing into one where women are capable of earning their own income and are not reliant on men to provide for them

Women who seek to be worshipped wants to feel in power, they want others to see that they can go against the norm of women being the weaker sex and prove that they are more capable than men. They love the feeling of control and the job of assigning responsibilities to men under her. Often overriding the father figure in the family, these women are dominating in their marriages and seek to put down their husbands as much as possible. Ironically, this is the same reason why men worship them, that they are able to crush men under them.

But in reality, no matter how much precedence these women have over men, the important image of the men can never diminish. A man can worship a lady, but the idea of men being the stronger and more capable gender is fixed and cannot be changed.

Be Fashionable With Clothing Accessories

Friday, September 18th, 2009

While some women focus on buying the most expensive clothing they can afford to look stylish, fashionable women have realized that expensive clothing doesn’t make someone look their best. Instead, it’s the accessories and how the look all comes together that reflects both your personality and helps you look your absolute best.

Clothing accessories, from handbags to scarves to what you put in your hair, can create a very fashionable look without the need to wear overly trendly clothing. Fads come and go so quickly that you’d constantly have to be replacing your wardrobe to try to keep up with all the latest clothing- but with the right accessories you can make every item in your closet look fashionable and complete.

First, you will want to be sure you have a few “must have” items at your disposal to help create your outfits:

- several belts, in a variety of sizes, colors and styles
- scarves, in a few different textures and colors
- purses and handbags
- hair accessories (ribbons, decorative clips, ponytail holders)
- shoes (a girl can never have too many different types of shoes!)

Once you have your accessory inventory built up, you can easily accessorize your outfits to pull together a complete, fashionable look that will impress even the girls in the latest, most expensive clothing from the trendy store in the mall!

You will want to choose accessories based on how they coordinate with the colors, textures and fabric of the clothing you’re wearing. If you stock your “accessory inventory” with neutral colored items, you’ll stretch your budget and be able to create more looks with the same items. You can almost always work in accessories that are solid colors of white, black and tan; but having a few selections in more vibrant colors will help you add interest to your favorite black dress or pants suit! Try pairing a red hat, red high heels and a red purse with your black pants suit and you’ll be an instant fashionista!

Keep your eye on the fashion magazines to see what women are wearing and how they accessorize. Are over-sized purses in style now, or tiny handbags? Do women wear stripes and floral prints together or are they keeping to more solid patterns at the moment? Most importantly- pick styles that you are comfortable with and that make you feel good because the better you feel the more confident you will be.

Jewelry, shoes and belts help you further accessorize your outfits and pull a complete look together. You don’t need a lot of jewelry, but having necklaces in different lengths will allow you to wear a longer chain with a v-neck shirt and a shorter chain with a sweater. Having matching bracelets or earrings will help you pull the look all together for a polished look. Pairing a wide belt with skinny pants is trendy, and you can often create a whole new look just by changing the style of jewelry you wear.

Here’s a trick that you can do with necklaces! If you want to help pull the focus away from your neck and face a bit, you can wear long necklaces as the eyes naturally will follow the line of the necklace.

Here Comes Menopause

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Menopause comes from the Greek language and literally translates to mean “the end of the monthlies”. For women menopause is a part of life. It is a normal aging process and natural condition that almost every woman will experience. Almost a year after a woman has had her last period menopause will usually begin.

Normally this condition will start by the time a woman has reached the age of fifty (the average age is fifty one) but it does vary and some women it may start much earlier. There have been cases when a woman has shown early signs of menopause even in their thirties. This condition has been defined as premature menopause and it occurs in 1% of women.

This is not a normal condition and often times it can be due to receiving treatment for some other type medical condition such as cancer which requires chemotherapy treatment. This is sometimes referred to as chemical menopause. Late menopause is defined as somewhere between the ages of fifty five and sixty.

Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the transition years, the years both before and after the last period , when most women find that they have at least some symptoms of hormonal change and fluctuation, such as hot flashes, mood changes, insomnia, fatigue, and memory problems.

During this time, the production of most of the reproductive hormones, diminishes and becomes more irregular, often with wide and unpredictable fluctuations in levels. During this period, fertility diminishes.

Symptoms of perimenopause can begin as early as age 35, although most women become aware of the symptoms about 10 years later than this. Perimenopause can last for a few years, or possibly longer. The actual duration and severity of perimenopause in any individual woman cannot be predicted in advance or during the process. Not every woman experiences symptoms during perimenopause. Approximately one third of all women hardly notice symptoms at all other than their periods becoming erratic and then stopping. Another one third of women have moderate symptoms. The remaining one third of women have very strong symptoms which tend to have a longer duration. The tendency to have a very strong perimenopause may be inherited in some cases.

Common Symptoms of Menopause

Some of the most common symptoms of menopause are mood swings, anxiety and depression, unclear thinking, endometriosis, fibroid tumors, lapses of memory, night sweats and hot flashes, unable to handle stressful situations, tender or lumpy breasts, chronic fatigue, body hair change, yeast infections, irregular sleeping patterns, water retention, vaginal dryness, blood sugar fluctuations and headaches to name a few.

To cope better with symptoms of menopause, a woman should seek the advice of her physician. Hormone replacement drugs are available to relieve the symptoms so it is important to seek help as soon as possible. There are also many natural ways to relieve some of the symptoms that might be beneficial. Acupuncture and certain relaxation techniques may be of assistance to help cope with the situation and may alleviate some of the signs. It might be helpful to try out herbal remedies, although the women’s doctor should be consulted prior to taking them to ensure that they are safe.

There is no denying the fact that menopause can make women concerned and uneasy when they realize they are approaching that time in their life. It helps to focus on the positive side of menopause which is that it is the “end of the monthlies”. This can actually signal the beginning of a new season in a woman’s life.

1900s-1960s – Historic Changes In Women’s Fashion

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Women’s fashion has been influenced throughout the years by history, location and design. In addition, a woman’s status in society has also had an influence, depending on what clothing choices were accepted and expected of her. Women’s roles influenced popular clothing styles, as seen through the length of hemlines, the layers of clothing worn, the types of shoes worn, and what was considered to be in fashion in general during a particular period of time. Following are some trends and the changes that have happened through the years, beginning with the 1900s.

During the 1900s, women’s legs and feet were almost never seen, unless they were sitting. Therefore, stockings, shoes and other types of footwear didn’t get much attention and in fact were designed to draw as little attention as possible. During this period, clothing and shoes often had silk bows, dark colors and small buckles. Shoes had pointed toes and a moderate high heel. After the Civil War, women’s skirts were narrower and were more cone-shaped rather then bell-shaped. Clothing was very heavily starched and shirtwaists came in style; these were fashioned after men’s shirts.

In the 1920s, it was no longer considered indecent to show one’s legs, and clothing reflected this. Hemlines rose and women began to take an interest in flesh-colored stockings and shoes. Silk stockings were expensive and accompanied eveningwear. Ribbed and patterned selections, which were diamond cut, were very in fashion. The “flapper” fashion began with the Roaring 20s, and emphasized very light ethereal fabrics, handkerchief hemlines, and girdles.

In the 1930s, a more “ladylike” appearance was in fashion again. Clothing was very feminine, with crisp, clean lines during the day and with glamor emphasized by night. Shoes were more sophisticated and the open toed sandal made its appearance. There were also short fitted suits and jackets and the still popular “little black dress.” Nylon was introduced as a fabric, which made stockings much cheaper versus the much more expensive silk.

In the 1940s, World War II negatively impacted women’s fashion as leather became scarcer and certain fabrics were hard to get. Wooden soled shoes with wedge heels became common and many clothing items were rationed. To get rationed items, you had to use issued “coupons.” Items that were not rationed included ribbons, lace, clogs, suspenders and mending wool. For variety, women began to paint their shoes with bright colors or to decorate the side of the soles with small items like shells or studs.

In the 1950s, glamor was once again back in fashion. Full skirts with petticoats, fancy suits, and swoop line empire dresses were popular. Stiletto heels and Italian shoes were the ultimate in elegance and refinement. Seamless stockings and beehive hairdos also became the rage.

By the 1960s, fashion reflected the freethinking attitudes of the time. Skirts were very short, and the miniskirt was suddenly in fashion. Stockings were no longer in vogue and pantyhose made their appearance. Flat boots were worn with very short dresses or miniskirts. Other fashion firsts were psychedelic prints, “everything denim” worn as everyday clothing rather than simply for casual or leisure time, and the introduction of the pillbox hat. Once again, shoes had thicker low heels with rounded or squared toes. Shoes with big buckles were also popular, and had matching gold or silver heels to match those buckles.
