Choosing the right shade of blush

July 9th, 2010 Kate

When it comes to choosing the right shade of blush, things aren’t hard at all after you read our review. In fact, things are pretty simple and we’re sure that you’re going to end up with a fantastic looking makeup style!

So, we’ve thought you several times that the blush should be in coordination with the color you apply on your lips and this is a rule that you must certainly listen too. In case you apply for an extravagant makeup style and you’ve used a pink caramel on your lips, you should try to use the same tone in the apples of your cheeks too, although we recommend a lighter tone than normally.

Oh, and speaking of how you should apply the blush. Well, it’s not hard at all! In most cases, you have to take the brush and apply the blush in your cheek bones, exactly on the apples of your cheeks to be more specific.

We’ve mentioned how to apply it. Now, it’s time to say with what exact product you have to spread the blush in your cheekbones: use the puffiest brush you’ve ever had in your makeup case and it won’t be any problem, because it will help you look marvelous.

Let’s talk about some other usages of the blush, shall we? In this case we’re speaking about red haired or those that have a really warm color in their hair. We recommend them to use an orange tone of blush that goes in perfect coordination with the color of the hair and the pink pale tone of the lips. Quite an fascinating look, don’t you reckon so?

In case you’ve chose to highlight your eyes pretty much and you’ve done it through the usage of the eye makeup, then we’ve got just the right solution for you! Use darker shades of blush like brown or mauve and a really bright tone on your lips, like a shiny pink pale. This is an exquisite combination and we’re sure that you won’t be disappointed of it.

Combining blush tones is a fantastic thought and it offers you an extra shine! Use firstly a pink tone of blush and then apply for a brown tone over it. The effect is dazzling and you simply can’t fail with it.

When you’re bronzed and you want to highlight this fact through the usage of the blush, well this won’t be a problem. So, you can apply for using a gold tone on your lips and a gold one or light brown in the apples of your cheeks. The effect is breathtaking and you can be sure that you’re going to look absolutely fantastic.

A light pink blush tone is always successful as it highlights a very natural side of you and it offers you a really fantastic look. We’re sure that you won’t fail with it!

A purple undertone applied in your cheeks offers you the aspect of a teenager and you won’t ever show your real age if you’re wearing these in your cheeks.

The effect is given by the usage of glitter; literally stick to the area next to the eyes. This is an fascinating element and you can apply for it in case you need to look more than ordinary.

Different makeup styles 3

July 8th, 2010 Kate

Through a makeup or another you can focus all the attention on a certain area of your head or even the clothes that you’re wearing. For instance, you can accentuate your eyes more through the usage of a kooky eye shade or you can apply for highlighting only your voluptuous lips or even your hair. Such a makeup style is the one that we thought of presenting first!

So, in this one you emphasize the color of your hair. And how this can be possible? Through the usage of a certain eyeshade or the eyeliner. You can apply for a light makeup foundation, a small amount of blush in your cheeks and leave your lips nude and really natural.

The thing that accentuates your hair is the eye shade for which you can apply for. So, if you have dark hair you can use a really dark eyeshade in combination with eyeliner and mascara in the end. This will certainly make a nice visual effect and you can be sure of that.

A fantastic variant is for red hair. Use a green eye shade and yellow toned makeup foundation and this is the greatest combination that there can be with eye shades and red hair.

If you always want to look glamorous and to be ready for pictures taken then this means that this suggestion that we’ve got for you is the right one. You can have a really bronzed skin and you can emphasize it with an exotic color of lip gloss or lip stick. As for the eyes, we recommend you to highlight them with the help of eyeliner and different colors of eye shades. Keep in mind that this will help you to look glamorous all the time and you’re going to catch the eyes of those surrounding you all night long.

The brows can remain the essential thing in one’s makeup if that person knows how to use this hint. Apply for using a light makeup foundation and highlight your brows with the help of contour kohl or even eye shades. Or, you can tattoo them and make them accentuated all the time. Keep in mind that if you highlight your eyebrows pretty much you have to be more discrete with the rest of your makeup.

You have to accentuate your eyes, indeed but you can do it in a slight mode with the help of some eyeliner, a vague tone of eye shadow and mascara in the end. And the lips shouldn’t be omitted as well! These can be highlighted with the help of a shiny gloss without too much shimmer in it!

Different makeup styles 2

July 8th, 2010 Kate

You already know that there are several makeup styles for which you can apply for. Indeed, you can opt for some styles that enhance only your eyes or your lips, or both. Also, we recommend you some other models in which you can use your imagination, be extravagant or crazy. We’ve suggested you some models already. Today we chose to make some reviews on just how many makeup models one can use and maybe you’re going to play with these in the future.

There’s the first style that we want to start with…. In this one you highlight both the eyes and the lips.

different makeup styles


In what does it consist in? Well, we are going to start with the eyes! Use eyeliner to contour your eyes, highlight these in a pretty manner. Use different shades of eye color dark and light ones and end with adding mascara. As for the eyes we recommend you to use a gloss in a very strong tone and make it a small bit shimmering. The effect is certainly scrumptious!

Our next suggestion goes for highlighting your eyes with the help of smoky eyes makeup and leaving your lips nude with the help of a transparent or really natural looking gloss. You already know how to use the style with smoky eyes, don’t you? You have to use eyeliner and dark eye shadows. Or you simply can resume contouring your eyes with the help of contour kohl or liquid eyeliner and use shades in a grey tone. End with adding mascara.

As for the lips, we recommend you to use a transparent gloss without too much shimmer in it or without. Also, a gloss that has the aspect of honey is a excellent thought as well. As you can observe there’s nothing into doing it.

The next model that we want to suggest to you is kind of similar to the previous one. You can highlight your eyes in the exterior corner with the help of eyeliner in combination with dark eye shadow. End with adding extra layers of mascara and make sure that your eyes will pop out from your entire complexion and makeup combinations. This type of usage of the makeup is called doe eyes and it’s really well loved nowadays.

The lips? They have to remain nude or apply for a really natural tone of lipstick or even a lip balm that indicates the fact that these are hydrated and really fresh looking. You only need to practice these makeup styles in order for these to succeed and so you’re going to look pretty nice and cute in the same time.

Summer diets

July 7th, 2010 Kate

Do you ever look in the mirror and you don’t really see yourself?  And then you see a photograph and you’re dismayed and shocked and horrified?

That’s how it usually happens, but yesterday I looked in the mirror and I really saw myself.  Nothing like a dose of reality to kick a girl in the pants.  But, the worst thing about the changing seasons is learning that clothes from a year ago don’t fit.

summer diets


I’ve never in my life had clothes just “happen” to be too HUGE from one year to the next.  Yet, more than once summer has started and I’ve found that last summer’s pants and shorts just don’t quite zip up. I despise it when that happens. (The SOS alarm goes out)

But before you let your psycho turn into an excuse to ignore the extra pounds you’ve been hiding under your huge winter coat, we’ve got news for you: In a few days  that coat will be coming off, and people will learn that the extra padding you’re packing wasn’t just your sweaters. And then you’ll freak out because by then summer will be just around the corner, and you’ll be tempted to do something stupid like go on a crash diet that will endanger your health and set you up for a rebound. So, STOP, rewind and recognize the fact that bikini weather is a few days away. Not a huge deal if you’ve got just a couple of pounds to lose.

But if you’re carrying significant extra weight, the prospect of losing weight can seem daunting indeed. The real question to be questioned is How do we do it? Here are a few thoughts:

  • Go  fifty- fifty : Split your 500 calorie goal in two, by aiming to burn 250 calories through exercise, and cut the rest through diet. A half-hour of excellent  exercise will get you half-way there, while an hour can blast 500 .
  • Go fish:  Choose fish instead of a six-ounce burger and save 400 calories.
  • Go bio: Snack on fruits and vegetables instead of junk food and you’ll save 200 calories.
  • Don’t drink your calories:  Depending on how much you eat, limit your alcohol to one wine glass a day.
  • Go dark: opt for dark chocolate instead of the one containing milk and you’ll indulge your sweet tooth while also getting a double-dose of antioxidants – without the calories hangover and grams of stout.

Evening makeup 3

July 7th, 2010 Kate

Evening makeup looks magnificent on tanned skin and our first example refers exactly to this type in particular. Use gold and brown shades and you’re going to see just how fantastic these go together. Our suggestion is to start firstly to highlight your eyes with the help of black eyeliner, adding it all around your eyelids and continue with the eyeshades: you can use gold or green tones of eye shades and a really dark shade in the exterior corner, both on the inferior as the superior side. When it comes to the eyelashes, we recommend you to use mascara and especially on the superior ones as to confer extra effect to your sight.

The lips shouldn’t be forgotten as well. You need to use a glossy lip gloss that will make your lips look voluptuous and really shiny in the same time and this will confer extra effect to your makeup.

Here’s another example that we have and it refers also to tanned skin. This time we recommend it for blond haired women with blue eyes. So, do you want to look fantastic at a party or a special event? Well, we’ve got just the right evening makeup for you!

Use a makeup foundation that is very similar to your natural skin tone and apply blush in your cheeks with a peachy texture. In the interior corner of your face and starting from the eyes apply concealer or illuminator in order to highlight your eyes in a gorgeous way. Continue with the eyes and use a pink eye shade in combination with blue eyeliner that will give the impression of prolonged eyes. Add mascara on the inferior and superior eyelashes and for the lips we recommend you to use a pink lipstick without too much shimmer in it and you’re on your way to that particular party.

We suggested this type of makeup style some time ago and we do it again! It’s one in which you highlight both your eyes and your lips, it’s a fantastic looking one and it isn’t hard to realize at all. Use a light makeup foundation and apply for a red-orange blush for your cheeks. As for the lips, we recommend a spicy tone for it, similar to that used in your cheeks.

Also, you need to use brown eyeshade for your eyes and brown contour kohl and the effect is guaranteed. You can apply the brown eyeshade on the superior eyelid and don’t forget about the lower one as well. You can be sure that you’re going t look magnificent!

In the lines to come we’re going to face you with these makeup styles that are appropriate for special occasions and for parties.

We start with smoky eyes makeup that looks really refined on someone that wants to go to a party or something like that. Start with applying the makeup foundation on your complexion in order to make a really nice visual impression. For this particular makeup we recommend you to use a dark and shimmering eyeshade together with shimmering white.

Also, you need a peachy color tone of blush in your cheeks and this will add extra effect and fantastic looks. As for the lips we recommend you a lighter tone of peachy lip stick that is creamy and that will go really fantastic with the rest of your features. Take care of your eyebrows as well: use light brown contour kohl and you’re going to see just how fantastic you’re going to look. We hope that you’ve loved reading about our first model of evening makeup, because there are others to come.

Another fine example of evening makeup would be certainly this one and it’s not hard to realize at all! We start as usual with the eyes: use a white shimmering eye shade and a peachy one, some black liquid eyeliner and brown kohl…. These are the essential cosmetic products that will certainly confer you a nice look. Apply the darker shade on the entire eyelid surface up to the arcade line. On the arcade use that light color tone that we’ve been mentioning about. Trace a nice curvy line with the help of the black eyeliner and end with adding on the lower eyelid a thin line of brown kohl.

You also need to use a blush in your cheeks that has a pinkish tone and match it with a really glossy lip gloss in a pink tone (coral tone or something similar). We hope that you’ve loved reading about our examples and you can be sure that there will be some other ones in the future.
