Eyebrows
Keep your eyebrows well groomed and shaped by plucking, waxing or threading. When shaping remember eyebrows are sisters not twins. Also keep them defined by brow powder, pencil or tinting them and brushing them.
Remember eyebrows are the frame to your eyes.
Tip of the Week – A strong lip shape.

A STRONG LIP SHAPE
Using a pencil lip liner before you put your lipstick on, will help you even up your lips if needed, define your lip shape and strengthen it. Use a pencil that's either slightly darker than your natural lip shade or one to match your lipstick.

OFFICE TO PARTY EYES
Here is a quick tip on how to change your eyes from the office look to a party look.
Taking a soft pencil in black for the dramatic look or brown for a softer look, line the inside of your eye or what is often called the ‘Waterline’
Using a cotton bud or make up brush, rub along the lash line and gently smudge the dots, to give you a soft, smokey smudged effect.
Then apply your mascara to top and bottom lashes.
Give you face a quick spritz with Evian water or a scented facial spritz to refresh and off you go.
Don’t forget to add your lipstick to finish off the look.
This Weeks Tip – Choosing Nail Varnishes
Published November 15, 2011 |
Choosing nail varnish |
|
Clear, red, pink or glitter varnish: which to use? No panic – here are our hints and tips on choosing varnishes that suit you and make your nails look sublime.
The golden rule
Match your varnish to your look. Nail varnish is part of your style, and just like any accessory, it has to match your outfit. Make sure your colour matches what you're wearing and you won't have to worry about hiding your clashing nails from the world. Choose a colour the same as (or closely related to) a colour in your outfit.
Clear, pink, cream or beige varnishes dress up your nails with an elegant, subtle touch. Whatever the season and whatever your style, natural shades always work, they're quick to slick on and last for 3-4 days. A French manicure takes longer, but looks très sophisticated. Red nail polish incarnates femininity, is chic for a night out and goes perfectly with lip shine or red lipstick.
Advice: buy your varnish and lipstick from the same brand so that you don't end up with a colour clash!
Tip: red nail varnish requires a base coat and 2 coats of varnish. If you're in a rush, don't bother; but if you've got the time, you can give yourself flawless talons this way! Red varnish goes beautifully with black or any outfit with a touch of red.
Highlight your hands with dark nail varnish in brown, plum and purple to bring out built-up, well-defined brown and plum eye make up.
Avoid: plum or purple nail varnish with black outfits – they don't go together. Go for colder colours like white or grey.
Black polish is very in and can be used on short, square nails. Needless to say, black, being black, goes with black!
Avoid: brown clothes plus black nail varnish equals disaster.
Glitter varnish illuminates your look. It glams up tanned summer feet, and can be a great way of accessorising your feet and adding a bit of dazzle to winter outfits. Only use it occasionally, though.
Choosing the right type of varnish
It doesn't stop there once you've got the colour right! You also have to choose from the different types of texture, each of which give a different effect (pearly, shiny or matte).
For work or everyday wear, use matte nail varnish. The effect is quite subtle, and perfect if you like to keep your make up discreet and natural.
Shiny varnish that brings a sophisticated touch to your style is very in vogue at the minute. Whatever colour you choose, the studied, classy effect will give you dazzling, feminine hands. Pearly nail varnish isn’t in any more, but it can still look good on tanned hands.

Published November 8, 2011 |
CORRECT EYEBROW LENGTH.
If your eyebrow are the incorrect length for your face, either to short or to long it will have a massive effect on how you look.
It's easy to find your correct length.
This is the way to get the correct length of eye brow for you.
Take a makeup brush or an orange stick and place it in the corner of your nose [nostril] and then line it up with the corner of your inner eye and your eyebrow should start in that line.
Then placing the makeup brush/orange stick again in the corner of your nose [nostril] and line it up with the outside corner of your eye, and that’s the line where you eyebrow should finish.
If your eyebrow is too short or to long it will have an adverse effect on your whole eye and appearance.
Remember your eyebrows are the frame to your eyes and they are sisters NOT twins.
This weeks tip – Coloured Mascaras
Published October 18, 2011 |
COLOURED MASCARAS
Coloured mascaras make a change from the regular black and brown ones. Navy and green work best for daytime use and for the evening a brilliant blue or violet applied to the tips of the lashes will give a very striking effect. For a special party, glitter mascara applied over your regular one or a colour one will catch the light and sparkle. Be brave and adventurous and give them a try.

EYE SHADOWS – VALUE FOR MONEY

When buying an eye shadow, think about the look you want to achieve first. A sensible and more cost effective way is to buy a compact that has more than one colour and that complement each other. A compact of a few different colour's will allow you to create many varied looks. Starting with the palest shade, and building up your desired look from there.
This weeks Tip – Concealer
Published October 4, 2011 |
CONCEALER
Use a concealer on the dark patches under your eyes, blemishes etc, before or after your foundation to help illuminate them. Never use a concealer that is ½ to 1 shade lighter than your skin tone. Blend in well.
