How to wear pastel make up the right way

Lets take a look at How to wear pastel make up

If you fancy trying something a bit different then take a look at our blog today on How to wear pastel make up. 

If you want to play it safe then try using lilac or soft pink eye shadow and when you pluck up the courage to try something a bit more vibrant, go for seafoam green and sky blue. Make sure you blend out the edges of your shadow and be sure that no harsh colour changes are visible. Try applying highlighter along your brow bone to give your eyes definition and complement this pretty, fairy-like look. If you just want a little pastel then try teal or light blue eyeliner.

When it comes to your lips sometimes subtle is the way to go, so for a fresh and natural look, pop on a little pastel lip gloss.

It is good to experiment with pastel make up but just like with all make up you must make sure you get the balance right. If you’re playing up your eyes, balance out the colour by going subtle and neutral with your cheeks and lips. If you’re going bright with your lips, try a soft peach or dusty pink on your eyelids to keep your face balanced and to avoid looking like a clown. If you have fair skin then when you wear pastel eye shadow make sure you add some definition and colour to your lashes with a dark brown or black mascara as this will keep you from looking washed out.

As we mentioned above different skin tones suit different pastel colours. If you get the colours wrong for your skin tone it can look really awful.  For example, if you have light skin with red undertones, blues are going to work well with your skin tone, so try a pretty sky blue or teal. If you’re olive-toned, try a pastel variation of purple or green.

Don’t be afraid to use yellow make up.  It can really brighten up your look, if you are a bit worried then just use a little yellow to line your lower lash line, this will add a little sunshine to your face.

Choosing the correct nude lipstick for your skin tone

 Today we are looking at Choosing the correct nude lipstick for your skin tone

 When Choosing the correct nude lipstick for your skin tone there are  some tips to help to pick the right one. 

When Choosing the correct nude lipstick for your skin tone it can be hard to find the one that is just right. We have found some tips for you to follow.

Fair Skin Tones
When looking for nude lipstick,  for fair skin you should opt for a sheer shade with dusty-pink undertones. A translucent hue with a touch of colour will compliment your skin tone. Avoid flat nudes or shades with yellow undertones as they can  make your skin look washed  out and dull.

Medium Skin Tones

If you have  medium skin tones you should look for hues with peach or pink undertones that are either slightly lighter or darker than your natural complexion.  If you pick anything too close in colour  to your skin colour  it will  just blend in with your skin tone and not in a good way.

Olive Skin
If you have Olive skin tones then  choose caramel or taupe toned shades. Avoid nudes that are lighter than your complexion, or you could  run the risk looking like you’re wearing concealer as lipstick.

Dark skin

If you have dark skin then you should opt for chocolate nudes as they are flattering choice for darker skin tones. Try a shade with a shimmery finish, as it adds dimension to lips without making the colour look flat.

We hope todays Blog will help when Choosing the correct nude lipstick for your skin tone

Why you should blend your makeup

Todays blog is all about Why you should blend your makeup

 You may be asking Why you should blend your makeup

Ok so you probably have heard the statement you should blend your eye shadow but  not really understand why. Today we are going to be explaining Why you should blend your makeup

Make up that has not been blended properly will not stay in place and will smudge and come off easier. It also does not look great especially in photo’s and up close. You may be one of the thousands of people who don’t realise the importance of blending  you make  up properly, the reason movie stars and pop stars look so glamorous is because they have some  one to do it for them who are skilled at just that, that doesn’t mean you need to go to college to learn how to do it as it  is fairly simple. 

Face

When applying your foundation unless you want to look like you are wearing a mask it is important to start from the base of the neck and work up moving from one side of the face  to the other blend you foundation blend round the ears and the hair line making sure no lines are visible , pay particular attention around the nose and eyes. If you are young contouring agin make sure the  areas  are seamless.

Eyes

Blending in eye shadow  is not quite as straight forward as all eye shapes are different,  so there are certain ways to blend eye shadow that are specific to each eye shape For instance, if you have deep set eyes, blending a darker coloured shadow into  the crease is not ideal. As this will only highlight how deep your eyes are. Stick to lighter, more natural-looking coloured shadows, especially under the  eye brow. If you have almond shaped eyes, blending the  eye  shadow in the crease is alright, but don’t blend it higher than then natural fold. Tis will ensure your makeup looks seamless, not exaggerated. When blending your eye shadow in  use a good quality makeup blending brush  using small outward circular moves keep going until you can not see any lines  and all the colours and edges are seamless.

Type and Texture

When it comes to eye shadows   as there are lots types of finishes and textures. From frosty and sparkly, to matte and cream, there are specific blending techniques for each. If your eye shadow has a frosty finish, limit it to the lid only and blend with a flat shadow brush for more impact. If it’s sparkly, blend in the crease only. For cream eye shadow you can be more liberal with the blending, especially if the shade  is a natural one. Blend with your finger starting on the lid, all the way up the brow bone.

So now you know  how and Why you should blend your makeup

Lets take a look at More on how to firm and tighten your skin

More on how to firm and tighten your skin in today’s blog

Today we are going to tell you More on how to firm and tighten your skin, as there seems to be quite a few different ways in which to do this.

Exfoliating with baking soda– Mix baking soda with some warm water into a fine paste and then rub it into your skin in gentle, circular motions.  Exfoliating will help to keep your skin looking young and fresh because it removes dead skin cells and extracts grease and dirt from the pores. It will also mean that your moisturiser will be far more effective too as it will be absorbed into the skin better. Baking soda makes a great natural exfoliator.

Massage with olive oil– Olive oil is one of the best natural moisturisers that you can use for tightening skin. It’s mild enough to be used on any skin type and it contains vitamins and antioxidants that will help to soften and protect your skin. Massage it in slowly to get the maximum benefits. Massaging tones the skin and the muscles underneath, it will help to improve the blood circulation too.

Egg white face mask- Egg whites are filled with nutrients that your skin will love, they reduce excess oil in the skin and they tighten the pores. Apply the white of one egg on your face and leave it to dry for about ten minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.

Honey & banana face mask– This face mask recipe combines three of nature’s most effective anti-ageing and skin care ingredients. Mash up one ripe banana and mix it with a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of olive oil. Apply the mixture to your face and leave on for about ten to  fifteen minutes. The antibacterial properties of the honey will fight any infection and help stop breakouts.  It will also tone and tighten your skin.

Strawberry & yoghurt face mask– This mask will make your skin feel soft and smooth, also using it regularly will reduce sagging of the skin.  Plain yoghurt is a wonderful moisturiser and strawberries are great for exfoliating the skin and improving the circulation. Mash up a few strawberries and mix them in with some natural, plain yoghurt. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it to sit for about ten minutes.

So that completes our blog today about More on how to firm and tighten your skin.
