I need some color advice for clothes and makeup?
by admin on Mar.03, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
This is for my friend, not me. I wanted to do a makeover on her but I'm not sure what would bring out her complexion and eyes the best. So here is a brief description (sorry, no photo):
Hair – naturally golden/chestnut light brown but died medium chestnut brown
Skin – peachy/rose colored cheeks with a little light golden brown freckling
Eyes – light blue with hints of yellow, golden brown and minty green in the iris, which is surrounded by a dark aqua ring (everyone just tells her they look ice blue though)
What should she wear for make up and clothes that will bring out her eyes more, and make her skin glow? I've heard to wear blue for blue eyes but it tends to make her look pale, and her skin color isn't exactly ivory. She tans very well with a slight orangey/red hint to her skin. She doesn't burn easily.
Answer :————————
I would say deep purples and charcoal… I have the same type of complexion and my eyes are blue green… I also like dark browns…
What color makeup can make the green in my eyes show more.?
by admin on Mar.03, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
I have hazel eyes, brown and green. I want my green to show more than the brown, what can I use so that when someone looks at my eyes they see green frst instead of brown.
Answer :————————
Try different browns, especially chocolate tones. Browns and dark greens with copper or gold highlights are also a great choice.
Apricots and taupes are good choices for highlighters.
Dark purples, plums and metallics work too. Coppers and golds will make a really glamorous evening look for makeup tips for green eyes. I personally really like the way deep purples look with dark green eyes.
Avoid the color blue and even colors with blue undertones and silvers. Also with pinks, certain shades don't work, so it's really trial and error.
For eyeliners, unless you really like black eyeliner, it's usually a color to avoid. Try steely grays or chocolate browns. Use gold or white to open up the eye if your eyes are small.
Try to stay away from cool-toned colors and stick to warmer colors.
I HOPE THIS HELPED!
What color eyeshadow is good for blue eyes?
by admin on Feb.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
i have these turquoise blue eyes and i cant find the right eye shadow. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
Answer :————————
All the answers I see here are actually right. You can wear whatever color you want. But if you really want them to pop… use a white shadow with a black eyeliner. Use the black liner as close to your eyelash line as possible. If you have big eyes, you can get it closer to the inside corner of your eyes. If your eyes are smaller just line to about the inside part of your pupil or so. Try a few things, you will find what works. Remember, it's easier to add more than to remove some.
Also remember that opposite colors bring out opposite colors. A purple will bring out the greens in your eyes, while an orange-gold-brownish color will bring out the blue. You can find many makeup sites and more with video tutorials that can walk you through some different styles. It does depend on the shape of your eyes and just whats suits you personally.
Color Variations of Pearls
by admin on Feb.27, 2010, under Womens Interest
Go to any jewelry store and peruse their pearl collections and it?s easy to see how many different colors of pearls there are. You can find pearls in white, cream, pink, purple and black with overtones of green, brown and blue. While personal preference is the basis for deciding which color pearl is best for you, it?s important to understand why pearls are the colors they are.
All pearls are made of nacre, or the substance oysters excrete to cover a nucleus in their tissue. The thickness of the nacre is the first thing that determines the color of the pearl. The thicker the nacre, the richer the color of the pearl. Environment does play a role in color variations, but the main factor in determining a pearl?s color is the type of mollusk that produced it. Different mollusks produce various colored pearls for different reasons.
Freshwater pearls are found in a wide variety of colors naturally. The colors are produced for many different reasons including environment, type of mussel and the location of the nucleus inserted into the tissue. Manganese is one element found only in freshwater mollusks and causes changes in the pearl?s color. The Manganese will darken freshwater pearls causing a silver grey effect making a beautiful and unique colored gemstone.
Some pearls? color, like that of the South Sea pearl, is based on the color of the oyster?s mantle tissue that it came from. The South Sea pearl is produced by the Pinctada maxima mollusk. There are two different variations of this mollusk ? the silver lip and the gold lip. The silver lip creates white, silver and rose colored pearls while the gold lip produces yellow, gold and champagne colored pearls. The gold colored South Sea pearls are very rare and possibly the most valuable
Tahitian pearls or black South Sea pearls have a rich, dark coloration. Tahitian pearls are produced by the Pinctada margaritifer mollusk. This mollusk is also known as the black lip oyster. The mantle of the black lip oyster is very dark which causes the pearls it produces to be black in color. Not only is the color of the mantle tissue a factor in what color the pearl will be but it also depends on the color of the donor tissue grafted into the oyster. Different donor tissues can cause the pearl to have lavender, green, blue and ?peacock? overtones. These types of pearls are highly prized for their luster and iridescence.
Even though cultured and natural pearls come in a wide variety of colors, pearls are sometimes dyed. A lot of times, freshwater and akoya pearls are dyed dark colors to give them the appearance of a Tahitian or South Sea pearl. The dyes are organic and don?t harm the stone but it is important to be aware of this when shopping for pearls. If the color of a pearl looks too beautiful to be true, it may be! A dyed pearl can be spotted by looking down the drill hole with a magnifier. The color of Tahitian pearls is even tampered with. Sometimes heat is used to alter their color and achieve a chocolate color which has become very popular in the jewelry world.
Sweeten up the Holidays With Chocolate

The holidays are fast approaching and it?s time to start thinking about that perfect gift for loved ones. Whether you have a wife, a sister, a mother or just a special woman to buy for this season, you know they deserve something spectacular. The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, jewelry. But, where do you even start? There are so many options out there ? necklace, ring, earrings, diamonds, sapphires, pearls ? how do you know where to begin?
It can be overwhelming to walk into a jewelry store, especially when you have no idea what you are looking for. A good place to start to head off some of those pre shopping day jitters is online. Check out some of your favorite online retailers to get some ideas of what you may want to purchase for that special someone. Find something beautiful and unique that they will love for years to come.
One great idea for the holidays this year is pearls. You can?t go wrong with this classic gemstone and their shine and luster can?t be topped. This year, give her pearls that will take her breath away when she opens the package. Give her chocolate ? chocolate pearls. These gorgeous brown, lustrous pearls are the perfect holiday gift. They mix the classic beauty of traditional pearls with the unique sophistication of Tahitian pearls.
All chocolate pearls begin as black Tahitian pearls produced by the black lip oyster. These pearls are cultured and harvested like normal Tahitian pearls but then put through a bleaching procedure. After harvesting, the pearls are put through a two step bleaching and heating process. This results in a lustrous, rich chocolate brown color with intense iridescence. Chocolate pearls can range in color from dark brown to copper to bronze all with a high luster.
You can also find chocolate pearls that have been colored using dyes and irradiation. These are still natural or cultured pearls but the color is manufactured. Companies that produce these dyed chocolate pearls use a silver nitrate to create the brown color. These pearls are considered treated and are often much cheaper than natural Tahitian chocolate pearls. Both are beautiful and the difference most times cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Every woman loves chocolate and every woman would love to add some beautiful chocolate pearls to her jewelry collection. You can find chocolate pearls in almost any setting and style you could imagine. You can find beautiful chunky necklaces wrapped with ribbon or a simple coppery bracelet. Try a gorgeous chocolate pearl ring set in 18 karat gold. If you want to play it simple, choose a pair of single stud earrings with a medium sized bronzed chocolate pearl.
These chocolate pearls are versatile enough for everyday wear and to dress up on special occasions. They are perfect for the holidays too because your special lady can pair them with her red holiday dress and she will be the guaranteed talk of the party. Chocolate pearls are the perfect addition to any jewelry collection and she will be sure to remember this holiday season for years to come.

Diamond Jewelry Influence of 4 Cs
by admin on Feb.25, 2010, under Womens Interest
Diamond is available in many varieties and calls for proper knowledge as the market is filled with fake diamonds. Hence, considering certain factors may prove to be beneficial in making the right purchase. Even simple things like fog test may help in determining if the diamond is real or fake, such that if you blow some air on the diamond from your mouth and the fog vanishes instantly, it is considered to be genuine diamond. Now if the same fog stays for a few seconds, than you might consider a fake diamond. Buying a diamond requires understanding a few basic things such as having knowledge about the 4Cs. Comprehending these 4Cs may help in accomplishing a high budget look at affordable and reasonable prices.
The first C refers to the cut of the diamond that reflects the way it is angled, proportioned and faceted such that it reflects light and offers utmost brilliance. A high quality cut always includes perfect angles, balanced proportions, well polished surface and symmetrical facets. This elevates the innate beauty, besides enhancing the value of it. Good cut grades in quality stones and is also compared as excellent or ideal cut grades.
The second C speaks about the clarity of the diamonds that helps in identifying the characteristics, even those that are not noticeable to the naked eye. Viewing the clarity of a diamond is done using a 10x magnifying loupe and the grades denote the stones having fine balance of cost and quality. However, small inclusions do not scar the beauty of a diamond, nor does its durability get endangered.
The third C features the carat, the weight of a diamond, and obviously, the larger the diamond, the higher is the cost. One large diamond is definitely pricey in comparison to a cluster of small diamonds, even if the cluster of diamond and the large diamond has equal weight. This shows that a ring having 1 carat diamond stone may cost more than a 5 stone or 3 stone ring that has a total of 1 carat weight stones. One carat is 100 points or cents and diamonds are calculated on carat basis such that the cost escalates significantly on reaching the full carat mark. A 93 cent diamond can be chosen instead of 100 cents as this will show no difference in size, but there is definitely a big size savings in cost.
The fourth C represents the color. Color grading decides the closeness of the stone to the body color and a clear white diamond is the best in handling light as well results in brilliance and scintillation. Round brilliant diamond will have good money value and comes in color grades F, while people looking for fancy shaped diamonds like pear, marquise or princess or choose emerald cut diamond so that the clarity and color is pronounced greatly; they opt for higher color grades ranging from E to G.
Among the 4Cs, the cut contributes to the value and beauty of the diamond. Good clarity enhances the brilliance as otherwise poor clarity reduces the value. Similarly, considering several small stones are best than one stone, and pear, marquise or an oval shape is best as it looks larger.
What color of eyeshadows match brown eyes?!?
by admin on Feb.25, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
What color of eyeshadows/eyeliner go good with brown eyes?
Answer :————————
I also have brown eyes, and I like to think I'm pretty lucky because they go with most colours.
Bronzes and golds are a good place to start and greens always look good, especially olive and moss greens. Most purples look good, as long as they're not too blue-toned and pinks generally look great too, especially ones that have a little brown or gold mixed in with them. And obviously brown eyeshadows generally look good.
As for eyeliner, I use dark brown (Prestige eyeliner in Havana), but if I'm going out I'll wear black and for church I wear a light brown. Occasionally I'll wear grey, purple or light green if I'm going out.
With makeup it's a lot about trial and error, so try out a load of different colours and see which ones are right for you.
