| Why Wear Makeup? |
| 2008-01-16 07:26:20 |
It was the Roman Dramatist Plautus who wrote, "A woman without makeup is like food without salt". You do not need make-up to be beautiful. Makeup helps those of us who wish our cheekbones were higher, skin more evenly toned, or jaws more prominent. Makeup is also a way to celebrate features we love and want to draw attention. From an unusual shade of eyeliner and long, flirty eyelashes, to a brighter lipstick and a bit of sparkle across the cheekbones - make up is the grown-up equivalent of dressing-up....

| Types of Eyeshadow |
| 2008-01-09 09:48:06 |
One type of makeup that is used to enhance the eyes is commonly called eyeshadow. While it is frequently used to shade or "shadow" the eyes, it is also used to lighten, brighten, and make eyes appear larger.Many popular eyeshadows come in powdered form and contain talc, but there are also cream and liquid shadows. Cream shadows should be used above the crease of the eye and are not recommended for the area below the eye. Liquid eyeshadow creates a "wet" or shimmering appearance and both cream and liquid shadows work well as a base for powdered eyeshadow.The traditional way to use eyeshadow is to apply different shades from one corner of the eye to the other, blending from light to dark. Starting with light colors from the inside corner and blending to dark will make eyes appear farther apa...

| How To Wear Sari |
| 2008-01-03 08:04:37 |
I am fascinated by Bollywood and Indian stuff. I love watching Hindi movies because both the hero and heroine are always good looking. I like what the heroine was wearing, and observe what jewelry she was wearing. I have some collection of Indian stuff like Sari, bindi, henna tattoos, and some jewelries.Now, talk about how to wear Sari. The success of the Sari is attributed to its total simplicity, practical comfort, and sense of luxury a woman experiences when she wears one. A sari is an outfit which reveals as much as it hides. How to wear a sari is an art which require practice. A Sari properly draped transforms a woman to become graceful, stylish, elegant and sensuous. But a clumsily draped Sari brings down the look of the Sari and spoils the whole appea...

When skin cell replacement falls behind then wrinkles and slackness results.While individual sleep requirements vary between 7 and 9 hours is average.

Those who meditated did the best in psychomotor vigilance tests that required them to hit a button whenever a light flashed on a screen.

| How To Apply Fake Eyelashes |
| 2007-09-20 13:51:42 |
Applying fake lashes is best left to your makeup artist, but with a little patience and practice, you too can master this art. So don't try it five minutes before leaving to a big party. Keep a piece of paper handy to hold the lashes, and a magnifying mirror, which makes the job a lot easier. Using a tweezer, dip the base end of the lashes into the glue, then place the lashes as close to the baseline of your own as you can, filling in wherever you want the greatest impact (generally, the mid to outer lashes look fabulous in false lashes). Press gently, but firmly with something blunt. Hold the lash in place for about 5 seconds until the glue has a chance to hold. Let the glue dry, and then apply a dark eyeliner to camouflage the line of the fake lashes and then apply your mascara. The masc...

| Bags And Purse |
| 2007-09-08 09:09:23 |
I personally love Coach. Recently, I bought a Coach patchwork bag and a Coach patchwork purse (both are fake stuff) on the net (Lelong) at a cheaper and reasonable price.I also bought an LV bag (also fake stuff) and kind of like it, somewhere downtown. Both the price are cheaper of course, compare to the original LV. If you want designer stuff for cheap, just buy it off of Ebay and Lelong ... a lot of the stuff is fake (even if they say otherwise) but as long as you set a price limit on what may be a knockoff, you get the same looking thing for a good price. For me, buying branded or not is definitely a personal issue. People are free to purchase anything that is affordable. What do you think? Only you know the answer....
