Lipstick for your lips

People notice your lips when you talk, as they listen to your words. You can improve the natural shape and color of your lips with lipstick, lip gloss, and lip pencil. Lipstick adds so much cheer to the face. It has to be used most carefully and neatly to get the best results. You cannot afford to use it in a casual manner. The outline should be neat and well-defined.
Do not give anyone the impression that you have dressed in a hurry, or that you do not know how to apply a lipstick. Do not apply it just for the sake of applying as a mere formality. Always work with patience when applying it on. You need a very good brush, and a few lipsticks covering the basic colors, like soft reds, pinks, hues of orange, etc.
General rules
* For thin lips, use lighter shades.
* For full lips, use darker shades.
* For the day, use lighter shades.
* For the night, use darker shades.
* For complexions which are not fair, avoid using very light shades completely.

    Muted colors like purple, brown, bronze etc. will look good, if you are having big lips.

    -Never use dark colored lipstick, if you have smaller lips.

    -It will be better to apply lipstick with a brush as preferred by professionals. This will help in reducing the amount of lipstick used.

    The colors that suit you are:

    -Shades like wines, berrys and mauves will look great on light blondes. Cappuccino colors will look good on them as well.

    -Shades like corals, apricots, peachy hues etc. will be really good on golden blondes.

    -Olive skinned blondes will look fabulous in warm peach, brown or terracotta shaded lipsticks.

    -Terracottas, cinnamon's and brownish reds will look great on brunettes.

    -Red heads will be best suited to wear warm terracotta colors, cinnamons and peachy browns

    Sometimes lips can become very dry and irritated because of allergy to skin care products, toothpaste or make-up cosmetics. In this case the only way to solve the problem is to throw away the cosmetic you are allergic to and to buy another one. You should choose also lipsticks that contain natural moisturizing ingredients and vitamins, for example smoothing lanoline or vitamin E.

    Make it a point to buy lipsticks that are good for your lips and not just for your looks.

    For natural looking lips begin applyling lipliner at the center of your natural upper lip line to define the bow. Then work toward the outer corners to complete the line.

    If you are a fan on matte lipstick, dust a little translucent powder after applying and the lipstick will last for hours.

    A clean line of concealer under the eyebrows gently buffed and blended out to accentuate the brow arch. Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream slathered on the lips before bed to rid chapped lips!

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern.
