Difference between concealer, base, foundation, and powder?
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
Answer :————————
Base is like a primer for your skin. It moisturises the skin, and prepares it for foundation, giving you better skin to work with. It also allows for better foundation blending, and sets the make-up so it lasts throughout the day.
Foundation is to even your skin tone and give your skin a really flawless finish. You match the colour to your skin tone, and use the foundation to cover loose pores and problem areas.
Concealer is used to hide and cover blemishes and imperfections, and to give your skin the illusion that it's flawless.
Powder sets the foundation and the concealer, and makes the skin matte. It also reduces oil and sebum production, and helps the make-up to last for longer.
Hope this helps! xoxo

by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
so i have to go by the saying "if i can tell you r wearing makeup then you have to much on" so can you give me some pics or anything really for cute makeup ideas that wont be too noticeable i looked on google but no luck i have really dark brown hair and eyes and i have tan skin oh and im 16 just fyi
Answer :————————
Since you are lucky enough to have naturally dark skin you can skip the foundation. Brush eyebrows with a brush. Wear a color like coppery brown just on the eye lid…not in crease or below eyebrow. Wear silky powder blush in nude rose on apple of cheeks only. Use a softsmudge brown eyeliner just along top lashline. Then apply high definition volume mascara in black on top lashes only. This is a great daytime look & makes face look fresh, natural, & understated. These colors are by Estee Lauder. You can use whatever cosmetics you have (in the right colors) to make this look for you!! Check out Estee Lauder.com & you can get more tips for classic looks, romantic, & dramatic looks. Hope this helps answer your questions. Good Luck.

How to Buy Plus Size Jewelry
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Womens Interest
Diamonds are not the only best friends of women. In fact, any piece of jewelry is bound to put a smile on any women?s face. Sometimes, however, there are certain pieces of jewelry that look extremely spectacular but can be quite disheartening on the part of plus size women for the sole reason that they simply cannot find something the right size. Not anymore! Plus size jewelry pieces are now available in many jewelry stores found in the mall and over the Internet. If you are looking to purchase your very own plus size jewelry, here are a few things you to help you in your search for that perfect plus size jewelry piece over the Internet.
Get your measurements
This is especially important if you are purchasing your plus size jewelry over the Internet. Since you are unable to fit these jewelry pieces, it would be crucial to know your measurements for to get the perfect fit for necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Even when you purchase plus size earrings, you will need to take the measurement between your earlobe and your shoulder. This is to ensure that whatever plus size jewelry piece you will be getting, this would provide you the perfect fit which would give you the flattering look that you are looking for.
Know what you want
With so many designs and styles to choose from, it is important to know what particular style you would want when looking for a plus size jewelry piece. Plus size jewelry designs range from the simple and classic to the ultra modern and hip. If you are unsure what you are looking for, you can browse through magazines and websites for the latest trends and styles to give you ideas on what you want. Some of these websites would offer quizzes and self evaluation tests that would allow you to figure out the kind of style that would suit your lifestyle and overall fashion sense. You can also ask suggestions from the jeweler attending to you for suggestions as well.
Get extensions
Many jewelry shops would often include extensions and extenders as part of the package of their plus size jewelry pieces for necklaces and bracelets. Some however sell these separately. It is highly advisable to get a couple of extension clasps and to make sure that you would be able to wear your plus size jewelry for a long, long time.
All in moderation
Just like any form of jewelry, plus size jewelry pieces should be to accentuate your face and flatter your body. Getting the right size of stones and chains for your plus size jewelry would make all the difference. Getting extremely thin chains and small stones can actually work even for plus size women. Just make sure that the size is the right size. You would not want your plus size jewelry to highlight things that you would like to hide. The same holds true with accessories with large gemstones. Not all of the designs with humongous gemstones would work well for everyone. A best bet is to try out the plus size jewelry piece and judge how it would look. If you are not satisfied or feel awkward about how it looks, look at something else.

Answer :————————
I just got my coastal scents 88 ultra shimmer palette and the 88 warm palette yesterday!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!! you are going to be very happy with them! the only down side is that each color is only about the size of a dime..but they are VERY pigmented! so you dont have to use much!
i own tons of MAC brushes! they are my favorite..but they are a little expensive. i just recently came across the e.l.f brushes and they are only $1 a brush! they arent as good as mac brushes but they defiantly get the job done!

can anybody give me tips or hints
thanks x
Answer :————————
Well natural beauty is the way to go,so not to much makeup.
My advice:
Start out with a clean fresh face,I like to use 100% pure aloe vera gel as my moisturizer (it prevent acne and heals anything!).Then apply a little bit of clear brow gel (you can just use clear mascara), just brush your brows with this(eyebrows frame your face so brow gel keeps them in place).Then apply blush I recommend a nice pink (or you can just pinch your cheeks).Then apply the same clear mascara you used on your brows on your lashes(this looks natural but still makes your eyelashes look really long).Then apply a little bit of cherry or clear chapstick and you're ready to go!.For night time kick it up a notch and do these steps then apply a nice sliver over the lid all the way up to the brow bone.Then a little bit of winged eyeliner.
Total cost:
13$ not including aloe vera gel.
Pretty makeup,without spending a millon dollors.
