HOW TO APPLY LIPSTICK FOR A LONGER EFFECT!

There’s nothing like a little lipstick to brighten your face and add polish to your look. You don’t want it on your teeth, though, and you probably wish it didn’t wear off quite so fast. These four easy steps show how to apply your lipstick properly so that it has staying power every time.

What you need

Lip balm, lip liner, lipstick and facial tissue

 Apply lip balm 

Dot your lip with lip balm to smooth them and reduce crevices. This will help give you an even application of lipstick.

 Use a lip liner 

Choose a color that matches your lips, not your lipstick. Before drawing a line with the lip pencil, begin by dotting it at various points along the outline of your lips. Then, drawing very lightly, use the liner to connect the dots.

 Apply lipstick

Pick up the lipstick and apply the color, starting at the center of the upper lip and moving outward toward one corner. Bring the lipstick back to the center and run it outward toward the other corner. Repeat with the lower lip. To fill in any missing color, dab the lipstick with your pinky, then dot the color onto your lips with the finger.

 Blot your lips

To blot, which will make lipstick last longer and keep it off your teeth, take a facial tissue and fold it in half. Hold it in two hands, with the fold facing you, then bring it between your lips and press your lips together gently then release. To make lipstick last even longer, dust a little powder on the tissue before blotting.

       

Tip: Avoid deep reds if you have thin lips. They tend to make lips look smaller

Models and their worse Diet methods

There have been a number of high-profile deaths over the years.

 In 2006, Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston, 21, died of anorexia on the eve of a Paris photo shoot after existing on a diet of apples and tomatoes.’ (Source: Daily Mail UK).  In 2007 ‘Uruguanian model Luisel Ramos, 20, died of complications from anorexia. ‘Her sister Eliana Ramos, 18, also an anorexic model, died three months later from malnutrition.

All three had a  Body Mass Index (BMI) under 18, which is severely underweight, though this has been set by the industry as a minimum threshold. The World Health Organization considers a BMI of 16 to be starvation. Most recently, British model Bethany Wallace, 19, suffered heart failure in May 2012 after succumbing to anorexia and bulimia.

 Diet methods used by women who are 5’8” to 6’0” ft. (176 cm to 183 cm) tall is appalling and extreme by any measure. Diet regimes include excessive use of laxatives; self-induced vomiting (bulimia), extreme caloric restrictive diets including those that eliminate all forms of carbohydrates which sometimes leads to (anorexia), and using medication prescribed for ADD/ADHD because it is an amphetamine that also suppresses the appetite.

Then, there are some who try more drastic measures such as consuming illegal street drugs such as speed and cocaine, and more recently hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone found in the urine of pregnant women. This product has not been approved by the FDA which has issued warning to manufacturers against its sale and use.

Homemade Hair conditioner

                                                  Homemade Conditioner

                                    MAYO, EGG WHITES & YOGURT CONDITIONER
I know that this homemade hair conditioner sounds disgusting, but it does really work! It’s also going to make your hair look beautiful from the inside out! You can swap out plain yogurt for vanilla to make it smell better and also make sure that you rinse this hair conditioner out in warm water, not hot!
Here’s what you need:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
egg whites from 1 egg
Seriously, that’s it!
STEP 1:
Whip all that deep conditioning goodness around in a bowl, and you’re ready to rock. Lather it onto your hair, focusing on the ends where you’ll likely have the most damage, and make sure to really coat all the strands of hair.
STEP 2:
Slap on a shower cap, and turn on your favorite episode of Dancing with the Stars while you wait for the conditioner to work its magic. It needs to sit on your head for about 30 minutes.
Another note: it will drip, which is totally nasty {but worth it in the end!}, so I recommend doing one of two things: tucking tissue or cotton balls around the edges of the shower cap, just like in the good old days of the home perm, or wrapping your head in a wet towel. Your choice.
STEP 3:
When you’re all done waiting patiently to see your beautiful conditioned tresses, it’s time to rinse. Rinse really, really, really, REALLY well using LUKEWARM water. Hot water + egg whites = breakfast.
After you rinse you can opt to shampoo your hair, or wait and let the conditioner keep working its glorious magic. It’s your choice, your foxy hair.
                                    
                                              HONEY HAIR CONDITIONER
The next homemade hair conditioner that we’re going to talk about is honey hair conditioner! This one smells so much better than the one above and it’s as effective! Just keep in mind some of the ingredients and how much you use, especially if you have naturally oily hair.

1/2 honey (you may substitute any local or organic honey)
4 tablespoons light olive oil (depending on hair type, use lesser amount for oily hair)
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix together honey and olive oil until full integrated. Pour mixture through a funnel into a plastic bottle with a squeeze top lid.
When ready to use, gently shake mixture and massage into your hair until evenly covered. Cover your head with a shower cap and allow the conditioner to stay on your hair for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour. Shampoo and rinse your hair thoroughly.
                                           COCONUT CONDITIONER FOR OILY HAIR
Coconut oil is one of the few oils that can make your hair not only smell awesome, but also that will make your hair shiny and so, so soft. This coconut oil conditioner is designed specifically for oily hair. It’ll get rid of the excess oil and truly leave your hair feeling so light and natural!
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon of coconut oil (find it in the baking section of a grocery store, health food store, candle store)

A whisk and a bowl

Add the water and then stir it until it becomes smooth. Apply the mix to your hair and scalp, massage it thoroughly then let it rest for 2-5 minutes.
Rinse your hair with clean cool water. Voila! The bonus is great smelling tropical coconut loveliness in your hair.
                                                AVOCADO HAIR CONDITIONER
The next homemade hair conditioner that we’re going to explore is the avocado hair conditioner! Avocados actually are rich in good fats, which means that you’ll have hair that is super shiny, super manageable and totally light and airy!

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Mix all that up, comb it through your gorgeous hair and cover with a shower cap. Now turn on your DVR and catch up on Oprah or your favourite tv series for about 20 minutes while it penetrates deep into your hair follicles. Once you’re well versed in whatever Tom Cruise scandal is brewing, rinse the conditioner out with tepid water. Shampoo {you don’t want to smell like avocado forever}, rinse, and you’re all set.
                                                         COCONUT MILK CONDITIONER
Remember coconut oil? Well, this is actually a coconut milk conditioner! All you need is avocados, coconut oil and coconut milk. That’s it ladies! Just mix all of the ingredients on up and leave on for about 10 – 15 minutes for really deep conditioning!
Ingredients:
1 avocado
1 cup of coconut milk
2 tablespoons of coconut oil

Peel, pit, and mash your avocado. Add the coconut milk and coconut oil and mix until smooth.

If you’ve never tried conditioning before shampooing, you’re in for a treat!

                                                    SHEA BUTTER HAIR CONDITIONER

Find a Better Hair Cut For Your Face

The goal and purpose of this guide is to choose a hair cut that balances your facial features and creates a natural symmetry between your face and your hair. It will help you to find the most flattering hair styles. 

Knowing the shape of your face will make your style choices easier and will also help you to communicate better with your hair stylist. And good communication is key to a successful outcome at the salon!

This technique is used by stylists and involve styling hair around the face to create an illusion of a balanced face. 

When going through this guide remember to note distinctive features like your nose, cheekbones, or jaw line.

You can then decide to downplay or highlight these features with the length and style you choose. The real trick is to pick hairstyles that enhance your best features while camouflaging any flaws.

This face shape concept is only a simple guide and there are exceptions. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish two face shapes from each other and you may not get an exact match. But usually these classifications of face shapes will help you select a better style for your face.

MIRROR TRICK!!

• First stand in front of a mirror and look straight ahead.
• Pull your hair completely back and secure with a clip.
• Take a lipstick and draw around the outline of your face on the mirror.
• Compare the result with one of the following shapes and find the face shape that is closest to yours.
  
  (There are seven different face shapes in this hair cut guide)

Diamond Face: Narrow forehead, small pointy chin, and wider at cheeks.

Haircut & Style: To create a balance shape look for styles that are narrow at the cheekbones and wider at the forehead. Add a little more fullness at the crown if required. 

Heart face: Wider at forehead and hairline, and narrowing down to a small pointy chin.

Haircut & Style: Suited styles are like layered bob with extra volume and outward flicks at chin level. Asymmetric cuts are also flattering heart-shaped faces. Curls and waves are helpful. The best length is chin-length or longer. Adding a wispy bangs will enhance the overall look and balance the wider forehead. 

Oval face: High forehead and narrow, slightly rounded chin.

Haircut & Style: This is the most balanced face shape and almost perfect for any length and type of hair style

Round face:Wide, short forehead, full jaw and round chin.

Haircut & Style:The round shape normally makes the cheeks appear wider. Most short hair cuts works well for round face as long as there is some height at the crown area and little fullness above the ears to slim down the round face. Soft cuts with sophisticated layers coming forward onto the face look stylish and is an ideal hair style for round face shape. Soft curls will also flatter the frame of a round face. For straight hair asymmetric cuts can also be an option.

Square face: A wide, short forehead and square jaw.

Haircut & Style: Square edges should be soften by breaking the symmetry of a square shape (off-center parting and side curves) . Graduated layers with some volume at crown and soft curls looks stylish on this type of face shape.

Triangular face: Similar to square shape but more narrow at the temples, slightly wider at the cheeks and widest at the jaw line.

Haircut & Style: Most short hair cuts works for this type of face. Avoid styles with volume at the top. 

Long face: Long face with high forehead and long jaw and chin. Other face shapes that appear long are Rectangle and oblong.

Haircut & Style: Suited styles are like chin or shoulder-length cuts with a fringe that can disguises the long forehead. Haircuts that are shorter on back and longer on front also works with this type of face.
