AG Hair Cosmetics runs routine surveys with a few hundred hairstylists to predict upcoming trends for hair. Looks like their predictions for 2007 hairstyle trends were pretty well spot on!
The most popular 2007 hairstyle trend to hit the runways and heads of celebrities is shaping up to be short cuts loaded with volume and "controlled messiness". This look transcends all age groups, and can look flattering on any woman. Slight variations make the style acceptable and fashionable for men, as well. You might think of it as the one size fits all approach to hairstyles!
Ellen Degeneres, Meg Ryan, and Hillary Clinton have already been seen wearing variations of the short and messy hairdo. This year will probably see the ladies adding more layers and volume to the roots of their hair, letting bangs fall over foreheads in a wispy- and slightly too long look that translates into a sexy framing of the face. If you just can't part with your long hair, remember to get rid of the super-straight locks that were popular last year. Adding a simple wave or loose curls will give you the fashionable look of the year.
The popular 2007 hairstyle trend for men is a simple to maintain, shaggy look. A good way to achieve this look is to have hair cut and textured into a short length. Wash and style hair before going to bed at night, and when you wake up simply run your fingers through and you're ready to go! It's the look that all fashionable men will be wearing for this year. In fact, if you want to take it a step further, men can add some warmer hair tones to their natural hair color.
While you don't want your hair to look or feel dirty, it's important to note that the current look of "controlled messiness" is managed better if your hair isn't washed every single day. Just-washed hair will also not hold as much volume as second-day washed hair, so keep that in mind and consider switching to an evening shower routine so you can keep up with the newest 2007 hairstyle trend.

Are you fashionably prepared and wearing one of the new 2007 Hairstyles? 2007 unfolds, many new hairstyles are making their appearance by fashion trendsetters and celebrities- if you haven’t evaluated your own look yet, now is the time!
The time has come to trade in your flat irons and straightening hair products for hair that’s been carefully cut to look like it’s an effortless style, full of movement and irregular lengths, waves and a perfect blending of colors. If your hairstyle doesn’t move naturally, look and feel soft and speak volumes (literally!) - your hairstyle is out of style. The new 2007 hairstyle reveals that there is more to style than a specific length or color of hair.
In order to get the fashionable hair of the year, you’ll want to allow naturally wavy hair to wave freely with a nicely shaped cut that frames your face and consists of several different lengths and textures. Tone down tightly curled hair that was popular in the 80’s with large rollers or curling iron, creating subtle curls and waves of varying lengths. Shorter hairstyles can get a boost of volume with styling products used at the top of the head, and cutting hair to taper softly around the neck for less volume through to the tips of your hair.
While no specific color will take over the latest hairstyles, there will be an increase in the skillful mixing of colors for a blended, natural effect. You’ll notice blondes with light, metallic hair tips to brighten the look of their faces and add volume to their locks, while redheads will blend orange and chestnut tones to create a passionate look. Above all, the new 2007 hairstyle trend will involve natural looking, soft and touchable hair.

DO SAFE HAIR DYES

Today, everybody knows that certain elements, such as nickel, chromium and cobalt, can cause health problems and allergies. Not everyone may know, though, that these three potentially toxic elements can be found in high concentrations in hair dyes.

Studies show that constituents of hair dyes show up in the urine within 24 hours, which means they are circulating throughout the body after the application.

There is substantial evidence that nickel, chromium and cobalt are essential elements required for the body in extremely low amounts; however, all three can cause serious problems in the body, when in excess.

Let us address nickel toxicity here. Excess nickel has been well established to be toxic to the kidneys and carcinogenic. A single cigarette typically contains from 2 to 6 mcg of nickel. Nickel is absorbed more efficiently in the lungs than in the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of chronic nickel exposure include dermatitis, chronic rhinitis, and hypersensitivity reactions. Nickel can hypersensitize the immune system, causing hyperallergenic responses to many different substances. Consider the type of allergies caused by nickel in earrings or in scissors used by hairdressers.

One study, done by Aecono Consulting, shows that allergy, in particular to nickel, is found in 10% of women in industrialized countries. The other potentially toxic elements, chromium and cadmium, will be addressed in future articles.

You may not be showing physical signs that you are accumulating nickel or other toxic elements yet, primarily because your body has not reached a critical load of them. Once the body reaches the "overflow" point, that is when signs and symptoms start to appear.

Growing numbers of women and men are turning to hair dyes that are known to have low levels of these metals. One European-trained cosmetologist in the U.S., Ted Berry, at his salon, Hair Color To Go(TM), has been using hair coloring imported from Europe for over a decade on clients. It is one that is documented to be low in nickel, chromium and cobalt. Ted created a patent-pending system of affordable custom European hair coloring mixed for an individual.

"There is a difference between sensitivity to nickel, chromium and cobalt and an allergy. If someone is allergic to these potentially toxic elements, they should not use any dyes with any amounts of these metals in them. But if they are sensitive to hair dyes, it is possible that there will be reduced sensitivity from the European hair color because of the extremely low percentages of these toxic metals in the dyes," he said. "It is always best to do a patch test of the dye on skin before it is applied to the hair."

To use dyes or not is always the question.

"The answer is that either way, there are pros and cons. When you factor in the benefit of a more youthful appearance, suddenly the quality of life gets better and it seems to outweigh a lot of the cons... It is worth it to a lot of people to dye their hair and look their best every day," Ted said. "When you think of all the other chemicals and pesticides that are encountered on a daily basis, such as from smoking, air pollution, and food contaminants, these are probably accumulating at higher rates in the body than six or seven applications of hair dyes throughout the year."

He searched for years to find a safer hair dye before he found one from Europe that actually provided optimal professional color for clients.

"Some people use Henna, but Henna does not cover gray hair well because it can create yellow or green tones on the gray. It will not make you blonder, is messy because it's a powder, is tedious to apply, and is limited. Compound henna products can contain fine metallic salts; if they do, they are not compatible with most other chemical services. If henna dye could somehow give professional color, hairdressers would use it. But it does not."

His patent-pending system involves a highly accurate way to customize your hair coloring, even though you may be miles away from his salon. All formulas are mixed to your color expectations, formulated by a certified cosmetologist for the composition of your hair. The porosity of the hair determines the amount of color lifting and also color distortion. You can conveniently apply your color at home, achieving better quality than over-the-counter products without the need for visiting a salon.

Ted made the process a simple three-step process:

1. Order the hair color analysis kit, which consists of 22 actual hair samples to be used to determine your existing hair color and condition. The swatches come with full instructions and the evaluation process takes only a few minutes.

2. Submit the Analysis information online, by phone or mail.

3. Receive your custom-formulated hair color, formulated by your own personal Senior Color Consultant. She's one of several Hair Color To Go (TM) European-trained hair color technicians who is a certified cosmetologist and expert in hair care science. She will contact you by email or phone and assist you in obtaining your first hair color product.

Personality is the outward expression of that indefinable quality known as "individuality." Personality we can develop—can really create. How? By making it express in the fullest sense our highest and best aspirations.
Personality carries great responsibilities, because we expect it to represent us as individuals. We should therefore clothe our personality with honest thoughts, high ideals, and lofty purposes; and to enable it to forge ahead—to permit us to reach the pinnacles of our aspirations—we should clothe its dwelling place—our body—with agreeable and proper raiment, raiment that will not hamper it but stimulate it to guide our pursuits, to make friends and success for us.
Your individual characteristics should dominate you, your ideas, your attitude toward life and toward those with whom you come in contact.
Your clothes help you to express your innermost thoughts, your kindliness, your good feeling toward all about you. This should be sufficient reason for knowing your good and bad points and understanding yourself well enough to bring out the charm you possess or to cultivate charm if you feel that you lack this invaluable quality.
You should never be satisfied to be a nonentity in intellect, in understanding, or in friendship. You should express your personality in these things, and, in doing this, one of the greatest aids is dressing yourself appropriately, becomingly, and with individuality.
Sometimes, women misinterpret the worth whileness of individuality in attire and resort to freakish costuming. We may be grateful for the infrequency of such mistakes, for there are few women—yes, very few—who do not desire to dress in the most becoming way possible, and who will not, with aid and encouragement, persevere until capable of dressing in a distinctive, beautiful way.
It is my desire in this book to give you authentic and definite information that will enable you to distinguish between what is worth while and what is not, and so help you to select such materials, colors, and designs for your garments that they will harmonize with your individuality and environment.
The experience of designers and creators of wearing apparel has demonstrated that harmonious dress is simply the result of a proper knowledge of color, basic motifs of design, the kind of fabric to employ for a given purpose, and the lines of the human figure. Therefore, instead of being perplexing, harmonious dress —distinctive dress—is simply the result of good judgment used in selecting colors and fabrics and choosing and adapting styles that, in motifs of design, suit the lines and proportions of your figure.
To be clothed in garments that in every way bring out your best points and in no way emphasize any of your defects should be your aim. There are comparatively few women who can afford to be richly dressed; yet, no woman, no matter what her station in life may be, can afford to be shabbily dressed.
Next to your ability—and some claim before it—comes your personal appearance.
Your clothes are your visiting cards—your cards of admission, so to speak—and you cannot afford to be tabooed because of being untidy or dressed unbecomingly.
A really well-dressed woman is never conspicuous nor uncomfortable no matter where she may be. To be well dressed, however, does not necessarily mean that you must be extravagantly dressed; it does mean, though, that you must understand dress harmony—how to adapt prevailing styles to harmonize with your personality and to conform to it.
"Personality and Fashion" is taken from a 1918 publication "Secrets of Distinctive Dress". The information is timeless and just as applicable today as it was back then. To learn more about 1920's ladies fashions we invite you to visit http://www.1920-30.com/fashion

OWN FASHION STYLE

DEVELOPING YOUR OWN FASHION STYLE

Your style is important. Ask yourself every time you buy anything, every time you make anything, or have anything made: Is it in accord with my style? Does it meet the requirements of correct dress for me?
If you live in a little city or a village and suddenly found yourself on Fifth Avenue in New York City, would you feel conspicuous in your clothes? If friends from the fashion centers of America were coming to visit you, would you feel out of place in your costume? You should not. You have the same opportunity to be correctly dressed as any other woman if you will study and persevere toward perfection in dress.
We must realize that we have a style of our own and that we are of a particular type. This is recognized by every fashion authority in the country, and by every fashion publication, for if all women were to adhere to one fashion, one fashion only would be shown in the fashion books instead of twenty, thirty, or fifty different designs.
Look through any fashion book today and you will find round-and-round and up-and-down lines in the same issue—all with the idea of helping women to clothe themselves correctly and of giving suggestions that will help them individually to find appropriate styles.
Establishing a style for yourself and then perfecting it—be it in hats, gloves, shoes, dresses, or suits—will prove economical, and it will not be long before a degree of perfection will be acquired.
A prominent New York business woman, who is one of the most distinctively dressed women that I know, wears the smartest suits and hats and always severely tailor-made gowns. And her neckwear, usually a jabot or a stock, is so smart that you would never for a minute question whether it is authoritatively fashionable. She always wears high shoes on the street, and usually they have light-colored tops, because she is tall and the light tops of the shoes help to break the appearance of height.
One day, this young woman came to visit me. I could not refrain from remarking about the completeness of her costume. I said, "If I saw your shadow, I should know that it was you by the harmony that your silhouette expresses and the very way you carry yourself."
She said, "Do you know that remarks like yours are what caused me to persevere in acquiring my style of dressing? I used to think I wanted loose, floppy clothes in which I could relax and be just as free and comfortable as if I were in negligee. Once, when in a ferry boat crossing New York harbor, I saw sitting opposite me a line of crumpled-up women apparently enjoying their slovenly posture. Not one of them expressed dignity or pride in her personal appearance. Not one of the women on that boat, I thought, was unusual or had any desire to know better. I then took a little self-inventory. I was ashamed of myself, because I realized I was not very much better dressed than the other women on the boat. I sat up straight and determined right then and there that I would acquire a style becoming and practical for me and would express that style in the most attractive and agreeable way that I could. And that resolution has helped me more than I can say."
She was frank enough to tell me that she attributed a great part of her success to having wakened up, to having made herself trim and having kept herself so. She always plans to have one good suit or one good dress—just as good as she possibly can afford; she procures a garment that she has to respect, and that will make her "dress up to fit."
She said, "If I put on a shabby dress, I will allow my shoes to be shabby and will be careless about my personal grooming; but when I have a dress that I have to be particular about, I always have my hair, my shoes, my gloves, my corset—everything—Just right for it, and I always look very much better."
Living up to your clothes, creating a style, and being equal to an intelligent expression of it are worth many dollars to a woman who wants to be a success in business, in the home, or in social life.

Isn't it true that when you want to change your look surprisingly and dramatically you change your hair? Coloring your hair always gives you a new look. Here's my advice on how to choose the right dye for your hair.
So you decide to color your hair. You are positive about the change and well prepared to see your new look. First you have to decide on the dye you are going to use. I will leave the color choice up to you. I will just mention that there are permanent dyes and not-so-permanent ones and each type has its variations.
There's also a third type of hair dyes. The vegetable dyes which are made out of natural ingredients and which are highly recommended. Vegetable dyes are similar to henna and belong to the not-so-permanent types of dyes.
Ok, you are ready to color your hair. Before you proceed you need to know what coloring method to choose depending on your hair style. Your new hair color must look good with your skin color/type. For example if your skin is light, you wont look good with very dark hair because you don't want your hair to draw the color out of your skin.
If you decide to be blonde then never attempt to color your hair alone the first time. It's better to take some advice from an expert/stylist or leave him/her do the job for you, especially if your hair has been permanently tinted.
If you decide you should have the sexy red hair, then you should know that red color really draws attention. It should be painless except if you are blonde in which case you should go at least two shades darker than your natural hair color in order to have a successful coloring result.
If you choose the good-old brown colors and wanna be a brunette then you should know that this is your safest choice. Brown colors will fit almost any skin/hair type. You can achieve all sorts of looks by using combinations of shades.
Last but not least. Black color. It will give you a dark/goth look. If you decide to color your hair black then you should know its the easiest color to apply to your hair. It will usually cover all hair types easily and effectively. Just make sure black colors look good with the rest of your face and will add to your skin, since black hair usually looks good on dark-skinned people only.
Looking for more beauty tips? Take a look at this beauty guide with insider secrets from top beauty professionals. You will learn how to look and feel better than ever. You see, beauty is not just an outer appearance. It is a complete harmony from within that can be felt and sensed by others from the way you present yourself.

BODY IMAGE

How many women on planet earth are happy with their body image? From infancy, girls are taught to judge themselves against stereotypes of beauty and acceptability, and to find themselves sadly lacking. Women are told by friends, family and society that they are the too small, fat, flat-chested or dumpy. This greatly damages women’s self-esteem and self-love. This lack of acceptance of the body is at the root of much of women’s psychological and emotional pain and disturbance.
Bulimia and Women's Preoccupation with Thinness
In "Fat is a Feminist Issue", Orbach (1988) explores the reasons why many women are compulsive eaters and suffer from bulimia. Women who are termed bulimic follow a self-destructive pattern of bingeing, consuming huge amounts of food addictively and then forcing themselves to vomit, to purge themselves of the distasteful food. Many women whom Orbach has worked with in her psychotherapy practice go on binges to fill the lonely void in their lives. Many hate their bodies, feel disgust and guilt for being fat but also feel that the extra layers of fat give them a kind of protection, helping them to feel less weak and vulnerable in such a patriarchal world.
Many women who are overweight feel that at least they will not be treated as sex objects, unlike women who are considered to be beautiful who are often trivialised by men. The fear of being harassed at work and on the streets is another reason why some women subconsciously choose to be fat. These women believe that their padded bodies will protect them from being on the receiving end of leering gazes, unwanted sexual attention and wolf whistles.
Anorexia Nervosa
Orbach (1993) draws from her psychoanalytical and therapeutic experience in “Hunger Strike”’ to explore the reasons why so many women are suffering from anorexia. Statistics show that hundreds of thousands of women die from the affects of anorexia in the US, in Europe and in Australia every year. Anorexia is the extremity of a problem that affects millions of women who eat less than the medically-calculated number of calories needed to nurture and feed their bodies.
The anorectic woman initially tries to transform her body into that which will be acceptable to society. But she also seeks to deny her femininity by straightening out the curves of her body, ceasing to menstruate and no longer to bare any sign that she is capable of reproduction. In this way she surpasses society's demands that a woman be thin and desirable and instead goes on a form of hunger strike, trying to control even her most basic need for food as she has been brought-up to deny all her emotional needs.
Women Suppressing Emotional Needs
Tracing the development of women's body image and self-concept, Orbach (1993) refers to the importance of the mother-daughter relationship. Basically, the mother is often not able to express or fill her own needs, often having been reared in an oppressive and controlling patriarchal household and society. The daughter therefore learns from the mother to suppress her needs, especially her emotional hunger and her need for individual fulfilment, and instead to nurture and be responsible for the needs of others.
The whole area of food is another emotionally-loaded issue, as the mother often has a preoccupation with food, preparing appetising meals for the men of the house while continuing to diet and keep herself thin. The mother may refuse to allow her daughter to eat as often as natural hunger demands. Western culture has become obsessed with keeping women thin and sexually desirable to give pleasure to men, while denying their own inherent right to enjoy body sensations and the physical and emotional feelings of fullness.
In adolescence the mother may be involved in trying to get her daughter to lose 'puppy fat'. She may believe that weight loss will help her daughter to fit the cultural image of female acceptability, while at the same time denying her daughter's sexual development and need for intimacy, probably as her needs were denied by her own mother.
Creating a False Self for Survival
Orbach (1993) states that the mother-daughter relationship is of immense importance to a woman’s psychological development. This begins in infancy when the bad or needy feelings that the female child feels are suppressed; as she feels there is no way that they will be ever filled. To survive this pain she develops the belief that she shouldn't have needs. Therefore the first split occurs: it is unacceptable to have needs, so the female child simply develops a false self to cope with this unbearable situation. Her body too is split from her true self and becomes an object that must be controlled and manipulated to fit in with society’s expectations. She learns that if her body is acceptable then people will like her. Her self-esteem and her whole sense of self is desperately insecure, as she judges herself against society’s notion of desirability. Thus the scene is set for self-starvation, for going a step further and denying that she has any need for food. Food becomes the symbol for unlocking the horrible emptiness of her mind and soul, the admission of psychic hunger and emotional depredation that could so easily destroy her. Therefore food becomes the enemy, and starvation her salvation.
Therapists who work with women who are anorexic must explore the cultural roots of women’s lack of self-esteem and their propensity towards self-annihilation. Therapists need to realise that for these women their emaciated bodies are an attempt to deal with the feelings of alienation and worthlessness that surface unless they conform to some impossible ideal.

MAKEUP BAG SECRETS OF THE CELEBRITIES
Makeup Bag Secrets Of The Celebrities
By: Sher Matsen

[Word Count: 643 words] [Viewed: 218 time(s)] [Don't forget to rate this article]



Have you ever wondered why celebrities seem to look gorgeous no matter where they are and no matter what the moment? Are they prettier than the rest of us so it’s easy for them? Not at all – they are just smarter about what their makeup bag holds. Read on for makeup bag secrets of the celebrities.

Celebrities will tell you having their makeup at their fingertips is their number one priority and it should be for every woman. That’s not to say you have to pack around 50 pounds of makeup. Just a tube of lipstick can do a lot to freshen your face. Actresses like Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Anniston, or Angelina Jole will all tell you that the ultimate makeup bag is really no secret at all.

You can buy fashionable and trendy makeup bags ranging in size from compact to purse size so even your makeup back can make a fashion statement. But lets face it. It’s what we put in it the makeup bag that really counts. And why is it no matter what size your makeup bag is, it seems to be too small or the makeup you most need at the moment doesn’t appear to have made it into the bag? It’s time solve that problem by putting together the makeup bag of the celebrities with all their secrets.

Your makeup bag is really a matter of your personal taste. Choose one that grabs your attention, fits your personality and fits your purse. There’s no sense buying a huge makeup bag when you pack a tiny purse. You can buy discount bags for as little as $5.00 or designer makeup bags for as much as $100.00.

The Celebrity makeup bag is based on the assumption that your makeup bag is small to medium in size. For those that have a tinier bag you’ll have to choose which items to remove. For those packing a large bag, add all the extras that will fit.

The celebrities tell us the most important thing you need to put in your bag is a small double sided compact mirror. You can purchase a nice size travel mirror complete with protective cover for around $5.00.

The next most important tool for the celebrities are the makeup brushes. Make sure you have a blush and eyeshadow brush in your bag. Or you can purchase a compact set of miniature brushed for around $10.00. That will ensure you’ll have every brush you need.

Now to the makeup. Jennifer Aniston says your foundation or powder is the absolute most essential makeup bag requirement. If the original container is too large, then purchase a compact bottle or transfer some to an after market container that seals well.

Angela Jolie won’t leave home without her favorite lipstick. Pick only one or your bags going to get full too fast. Remember your building a compact version of your real makeup case. You can add a lip gloss if you like.

Eyeshadow is also a must have for touchup. Choose a palette of colors you can wear or use anytime. There is no good way to pack a variety of colors, so it’s best to choose your most reliable colors. And for heavens sake don’t’ forget to add mascara and eyeliner.

According to the stars you also need to make sure you have your blush. Now this can be a bit trickier because the containers are a bit big. Best to look for a flat compact style blush. To keep you fresh, you can also add some prepackaged facial cleansing cloths, a travel toothbrush and toothpaste, and a travel size deodorant.

That’s it, you know now the makeup bag secrets of the celebrities . All the basics, to get you through the day and have you looking gorgeous. So what was the big secret?

SKIN CARE & ACNE TREATMENT

Skin Care & Acne Treatment Articles

By Mike Singh

There are so many options for acne treatment on the market. On one end there are several different types of medication and topical treatments, on the other there are various different natural or organic products. But, do all these products work? Well, most of these products do deliver on their promises. But, the key point being that there is no one size fits all solution in the area of acne treatment. This is understandable because everyone doesn't have the same skin type either. To address these needs various different laser treatment providers have sprung up all over the place.

A quick recap of how pimples are formed

Our skin has tiny pores connected to oil producing glands underneath the skin. These glands produce oils that moves dead skin cells to the skin surface. The 'pipe' that is connecting the pore to the gland clog up due to excess oil production. This results in the formation of pimples. There are different varieties of this problem and each has a different name - blackheads, whiteheads, acne vulgaris, acne rosacea etc. You will definitely want to consult a dermatologist to understand your condition.

Now, coming back to our main discussion. The procedure for the laser treatment is fairly straightforward. A very powerful, high-speed and extremely accurate laser is controlled by the laser technician. So, what does the beam do? The beam destroys the specific excess oil producing glands that are under the skin and destroy any existing bacteria in these areas.

Sounds simple enough. Now, you might be wondering if this is all there is to it. Well of course not. As with any other medical procedure you should be aware of certain drawbacks of laser treatment.

* At times, one treatment isn't enough. It's hard to predict whether all the excess oil producing glands and bacteria have been taken care of. So, you might have to go through the procedure a couple of times till you are able to achieve the desired result.

* The other problem is that this treatment is expensive. The cost ranges depending on the experience of the provider, quality of the laser facilities etc. So, bear in mind that this might not be a one-time deal when you are shopping for laser treatment providers.

So, there you have it. Both sides of the story. While it is easy to measure the drawbacks in monetary terms, it is hard to measure how much the self-esteem of the individual is raised once this procedure is completed successfully. That feeling is one word - priceless!

On http://www.stopping-acne-now.com/ you can read about acne laser treatment & acne scar treatment.

The quest for beautiful skin and hair is prevalent among women. You can make inexpensive, natural beauty and hair treatments from ingredients you have in your home that will perform just as well or better than products you purchase in the store.

If you only have one natural beauty remedy in your pantry, make it Olive Oil. It's extremely versatile and can be used on every part of your body.

Olive oil is excellent for removing mascara. It's much better than petroleum jelly or baby oil and is beneficial to the skin around your eyes.

Use a few drops of olive oil in warm water for a wonderful at-home manicure. Apply your favorite lotion afterwards to lock in the moisture.

Beeswax and olive oil melted and poured into a small tin makes wonderful lip balm that will keep your lips soft and smooth.

Dry feet can be healed after one night of this treatment. Before bed, rub olive oil into your dry, cracked feet. Do not rinse. Then, put a cozy pair of socks on and go to sleep. Your feet will drink in the moisture and feel much better by morning.

Add a few drops of olive oil to your bath water for the best skin softener you can imagine. And, if you're feeling extra decadent, then add a few drops of essential oil for a natural aromatherapy bath.

A very small amount of olive oil applied to dry hair will condition and get rid of frizz. This is a great leave-in conditioner.

Olive oil can also work as a shaving cream for men with sensitive skin.

Don't buy those expensive Sea Salt Scrubs. Make your own. Just add sea salt to olive oil and you've got a sea salt scrub that will feel like heaven. Add a drop of essential oils if you'd like your scrub scented.

Please use caution when using olive oil in your bathtub as it will get quite slippery and you don't want to fall.

It is not necessary to pay a lot of money for beauty treatment products. The things you have in your very own kitchen can often be the best beauty products available.

Natural Makeup

Natural makeup is a term used to describe makeup that mimics tones and hues already within one’s complexion. A complexion consists of many hues and undertones. The ultimate goal of applying natural makeup is to create harmony with what nature has provided. Often times, natural makeup is confused with no makeup. No makeup just implies a lack of effort and time; natural makeup is actually, just the opposite. It is carefully selected and applied to enhance features so that they appear to have been a genetic gift of beauty.This is not to suggest that natural makeup means spending an outstanding amount of time applying and outstanding amount of makeup. It just means spending quality time applying makeup strategically. Let me explain.To Begin Natural Makeup1. Always begin with a cleansed, toned, and moisturized face and eye area. Being of mature skin, I use an alpha hydroxy serum for gentle exfoliation and promotion of smoother skin. The serum will help rid the skin of the dull, ashy appearance and improve the color of the skin by getting rid of dead skin cells on the layer of the skin.2. When applying natural makeup, I like to look back to photographs of my youthful days to remember the colors that lit up my face as a child. I look at the cheeks and lips to get an idea of pink or peach. Over the years, hair color changes, skin changes, and we no longer see the colors that nature once gave to us. This is a once and done deal. Once you look at your photograph and decide which colors were natural to your skin, the rest is easy.Applying Natural Makeup1. Next, you may still need to correct under eye circles. No matter how natural you want to be, if you have bags and circles, you just look tired!2. Not everyone needs to wear foundation. A tinted moisturizer is a wonderful trick to natural makeup. You are adding well-deserved nourishment to the skin with an added benefit; a tint of color. You may also opt for applying a bit of foundation to only the parts that show redness to even out the complexion. The truly blessed are those that need just a great moisturizer to add a healthy glow. The end result of natural makeup foundation is to return the skin to the youthful glow. This is why heavy foundations and matte finishes are seldom used in natural makeup.3. As a child, my cheeks were always rosy. This is the inspiration for natural makeup. Use a rouge that is similar to those pictures. If you cannot tell due to the quality of picture or the lack of color try this easy trick: gently pinch your cheeks. Remember: Gently. Black and blue is not in the natural color scheme. A gentle pinch will give you insight to your skin’s natural blush shade. Apply the rouge to the apples of your cheeks. I sometimes sweep a bronzer or rouge to the areas of my face where the sun would kiss. Once again, this gives a natural glow. Just be careful not to apply too much. You don’t want to look sunburned.4. Natural eye makeup is simple. Keep to neutral shades. Colors such as taupe, brown, peach, and mauve give freshness to the eyes without overpowering the skin. These neutral colors will allow your natural features to shine by complementing the iris. When applying natural makeup, I keep the color families for eyes, cheeks, and lips the same. Use your natural blush as the guide for choosing colors. Since I have naturally rosy cheeks and pink lips, I use a light mauve shadow, a rose blush, and clear gloss with a rose tint. The colors don’t compete and are not the focus of my face; instead, the dewy glow is the focus.5. A light powder liner can be applied to make the lashes appear thicker as in our younger days. You may see that liner is not necessary.6. Curl the eyelashes and apply a brown or clear mascara to add length. Brown is a natural color that won’t add drama, but only lengthen and fill in areas that may be sparse.7. Use a lipstick that is creamy and close to your natural lip tone. Apply a dab of gloss to the center of the lips to emphasize fullness. In place of a creamy lipstick, try a tinted gloss. Tinted glosses are excellent for adding a pinch of color and sheen all in one.Is Natural Makeup Natural?Yes, yes, yes. Natural makeup is fresh and dewy. It lets the world see your beauty. Is it an oxymoron? That might be for you to decide, I myself, love it.http://www.makeup-artist-world.com

Eye Makeup

Sexy, appealing eyes are nothing new to women. We have known for thousands of years how to attract and allure using the power of our eyes. Just look at the ancient Egyptians. Cleopatra certainly knew what she was doing using kohl to dramatically line her eyes.Sexy eyes are not about shockingly bright colors; rather sexy eyes are about creating the perfect almond shaped eye. Women in the early 1900s knew that large, almond shaped eyes were appealing. Once again, we come full circle to the Egyptians and their heavily lined almond shape.So how do we achieve a sexy eye without looking like a raccoon or a Halloween character?How to Apply Sexy Eye Makeup1. Begin applying sexy eye makeup with a clean and moisturized face. It is important for the makeup to not mix with oils and dirt from the skin. This could make the makeup look messy and just plain bad.2. Keep the colors neutral when applying sexy eye makeup. Choose pallets in brown, charcoal, black, or gray. Bright colors may make the eyes appear smaller. Choose a vanilla tone to highlight. Vanilla works well on most women. White can be harsh for this effect.3. Eyeliner will create the illusion of bigger, more seductive eyes. Eyeliner can also help to correct eye shape giving the eyes the desired almond shape which is characteristic of sexy eyes. Begin by lining the top lash line from the inner corner and extending the line slightly past the edge. Use a soft pencil or powder so that the line is not harsh. Harsh lines might make you look angry, not sexy. You can go over the line using an angled brush to create a smoother finish and fan out the edges so that the line is not too harsh.4. Line the bottom outer third of the lower lid keeping close to the lash line and extend slightly past the edge.5. Remember that we are going for an almond shape. Judge the line to see that it creates the shape of an almond. You may need to make the line thicker depending upon the shape of your eye. A perfectly shaped eye will immediately give the illusion of sexiness. If you look at fashion models in magazines, even the minimalist has carefully shaped the eye for an almond look.6. For sexy eyes, we are going to open up the eyes to make them appear larger; therefore, we must gradually increase the color as we move toward the brow. Begin with dark shadow. If you line the eyes with brown, choose chocolate shadow. Apply color to the mobile eye making sure that the color intensity is darkest close to the lashes and outer third of the eye to create the desired almond shape of a sexy eye. The intensity should decrease as you move towards the crease.7. Check for the desired shape and that the color intensity is equal on both eyes.8. Apply shadow to the lower lid sweeping it towards the outer corner. Be sure to keep the intensity light or you may look like a raccoon. You can always increase the intensity if you desire. Concentration should b on the outer third.9. Fill in the inner corner of the eye and above the brow bone using vanilla to highlight and open the eyes. This will make the eyes appear even larger and finish the sexy eye makeup.10. Curl the lashes to further open the eyes and apply mascara to both top and bottom. Fan the lashes when applying the mascara to make the eyes appear sexy and large. Concentrate more mascara on the outer third of the lashes.http://www.makeup-artist-world.com

Makeup For Oily Skin

By: Asuncion Parra Llorente

[Word Count: 798 words] [Viewed: 7 time(s)] [Don't forget to rate this article]

We can’t all be blessed with normal skin. Unfortunately, for many of us, oily skin is our struggle. On the positive side, those with oily skin have skin that doesn’t show the signs of aging as quickly as other skin types. So, when life gives you lemons, create lemon juice and water to apply on oily skin. Rinse with warm water.Oily skin can occur at different stages in your life; adolescence, pregnancy, and menopause. Hormones can play a role in oily skin. Oily skin is characterized by large pores, dullness, a grease-like appearance, and roughness. The sebaceous gland produces excess oil thus giving the skin the shine associated with oily skin. Washing the face several times a day can make the situation worse, causing the gland to produce even more oil. Choosing the right skin regimen and makeup for oily skin is not as difficult as it might seem.Identifying Your Skin TypeIt is important to know your skin type. Examine your face closely. Do you see large pores, flakes, or redness? Each can indicate a different skin type or be indicators of oily skin. Take a tissue to your face and blot. Did you absorb oil? If your self-examination reveals large pores and oil on the tissue, you could have oily skin. The redness can be from excessive washing or sensitive skin. I have combination skin. It is very oily with large pores in the t-zone and dry around my cheeks. If you are still unsure, consult a dermatologist or aesthetician.Taking Care of Oily SkinCaring for your skin now will provide benefits for the future. Your skin will thank you five years from now. Know how to take care of you skin, both inside and out. It is important to drink water so that the skin remains hydrated. Taking vitamins, especially vitamin B2 and B5 will also help your body. These vitamins can help the skin look more radiant and improve paleness.Products for Preparing Oily Skin for MakeupWhen cleansing, use an oil-based cleanser since it will help dissolve oil better. Do not use harsh cleaners that leave the skin feeling tight. This tightness will restrict oil flow and lead to clogged pores later. Also, massage the face when cleansing to avoid pushing dirt and oil into the pores. Scrubbing will clog the pores. Rinse with warm water to help dissolve oil. Use a mud or clay mask one or two times a week.Read labels. Look for products that are for oily skin. Avoid products that contain alcohol since alcohol dries the skin. Petroleum based products such as mineral oil contain too much oil and can further clog pores. Use astringents containing acetone. Acetone dissolves oil better. Moisturizers need to be oil-free. You may only need to moisturize certain areas such as around the eyes. Mature skin will need to moisturize the entire face.I find that applying cucumber juice before applying makeup helps my skin’s appearance. Witch-hazel will do the same. Both are excellent ways to create a more balanced ph for the skin. You may even want to spritz lavender water on your face several times a day. It is a good hydrator for oily skin as well as providing antiseptic properties.Makeup for Oily SkinRead labels. There are some items that should be avoided and some items that you should look for in makeup for oily skin. There are certain makeup companies that are known for their work in designing products for specific skin types. I recommend Clinique. It has a reputation for excellent care and products. I also like Jane Iredale Cosmetics. This is a mineral based line used by many dermatologists.Avoid1. Avoid products containing oil from petroleum. This includes mineral oil. Use oil-free makeup or makeup that is intended to benefit oily skin.2. Avoid makeup that contains alcohol. Alcohol will strip the skin of oil, which may cause the body to produce even more.3. Look for ingredients such as bismuth oxychloride and dimenthicone. Both can clog pores and may cause blemishes. These are commonly found in foundation or powder based products.Beneficial1. Find foundations that contain titanium dioxide, a naturally occurring sun protector.2. Makeup for oily skin should contain serecite to reduce the appearance of pores and help absorb oil.3. Kaolin clay added in foundation will help oil control.4. Zinc oxide used in makeup will act as an anti-inflammatory.A makeup artist will use products designed for a customer’s skin type in order to promote healthy skin. It is equally important for the makeup artist to become familiar with products and ingredients for specific skin care. Knowing how to take care of a customer’s skin will benefit the client and the makeup artist’s reputation.http://www.makeup-artist-world.com

How To Apply Eye Makeup

[Word Count: 817 words] [Viewed: 6 time(s)] [Don't forget to rate this article]

Makeup should emphasize beauty and highlight your best features, not become a mask for which to hide. It is the eyes, the windows to your heart and character that are seen first. Your eyes create a focal point for creativity, fun, and elegance. Therefore, when applying eye makeup, it is necessary to create balance and harmony to reveal your true beauty.Applying eye makeup can be a frightening concept if you are not equipped with the correct knowledge and equipment. Once you know the basics, you will find that applying eye makeup is fun. All you need is the right color, shadow brushes, an eye lining pencil, an eyelash curler, and mascara.First, it is important to know that your eyes are a great place to begin to express yourself. Adding color to the eyes will automatically draw attention to them. Because of this, when you apply shadow, choose colors that complement your skin tone and eye color. Use the iris as a guide in choosing your color scheme. You want to create a polished elegant look.Color Guide:Blue EyesTo emphasize blue eyes use gray, rose, mauve, purple, orange, peach, gold, or any shade of bronze. When selecting a shade of blue to go with the eyes follow the rule of opposites. (If the eye is dark blue, use sky blue; if the eye is icy blue, use darker blues, even indigo.)Green EyesTo emphasize green eyes use chestnut, royal purple, violet, plum, forest green, and brown. If the iris is a deep green, try using a darker eye shadow; if the iris is a pale green use a pale green eye shadow.Hazel EyesTo emphasize the green in hazel eyes use royal purple, rose, violet, and forest green. To make the eye more brown, use chestnut.Brown EyesTo emphasize brown eyes use copper, bronze, champagne, beige, forest green, gold, and other metallics. Using shades of green will complement brown eyes.Brown-Black EyesTo emphasize deep brown eyes use tones that are lighter and pearly to bounce more light. Try a sheer green.The secret to applying Eye MakeupWhen applying eye makeup, remember that a small amount goes a long way. It is best to start applying the shadow lightly, building up to intensity desired. Since you can alter the shape and look of your eyes using eye makeup, begin by tracing the brow bone with your finger or shadow tool to get a feel for the shape of your eye. It is important to note that you do no want to apply eye shadow above your brow bone; rather, you will be blending upward towards the brow bone.How to use a brush to apply your eye shadowsApply your shadow using a shadow brush in a medium size. The brush will give you more control. A larger eye shadow brush will give more coverage for the total eye. A smaller shadow brush will give a more defining line. Keep in mind that you will want to use a synthetic brush for creams and a natural hair brush for powder. Using these brushes for specific eye makeup will make clean-up easier.1. Begin applying the shadow to the mobile eye, making sure that the shadow covers evenly and is blended carefully in an upward movement. Remember to blend toward the brow bone. Keeping the brush moving in circular movements will help create an even blend of color. Shadow should be applied toward the lachrymal area, or inner corner, and blended.2. Apply the shadow on the opposite eye. Be sure to create equal looks. Uneven shadow will upset the balance and harmony.3. Apply the eyeliner to the top of the eye, close to the lashes. This will create thickness. You can also line the bottom lashes lightly for a more dramatic and defined look. Remember that when you apply loner, black is more commonly used for nighttime and brown or navy for daytime.4. For more emphasis, apply a pearly white or ivory in the inner corner of the eyes and above the brow bone to highlight the eyes. Blend carefully so that the shadow highlights and does not appear as a polka dot in the corner of the eye or a harsh line below the brow.5. Finish applying eye makeup with mascara. Curl the lashes to further open the eyes. Once again, when applying eye makeup, it is best to begin with a light coat of mascara on both top and bottom lashes. You can build intensity by applying another coat, depending on the look desired. Look up when applying mascara to the lashes.Critical factors to consider when applying eye make upRemember: Your goal is to emphasize your natural beauty and create harmony. Keep these factors in mind when selecting and applying your eye makeup:personalityageskin coloreye colorhair colorwardrobeaccessorieseventhttp://www.makeup-artist-world.com

5 Minute Makeup

By: Asuncion Parra Llorente

[Word Count: 378 words] [Viewed: 7 time(s)] [Don't forget to rate this article]

Beauty may only be skin deep, but beautiful skin makes a difference! Always begin your day treating the skin to a gentle cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. End each day with a well-deserved cleansing, toning, and nighttime moisturizing. Remember, you are worth the time. Take care of your skin.Tips for a Five Minute Makeup Routine1. Know your colors. What colors make you feel confident? What colors do you get compliments on? Are you warm or cool? Knowing what colors to wear will lessen the length of time it takes to get ready in the morning. Daytime makeup should be elegant, polished, and natural as seen in the model above.2. Concealer: A quality corrector will be subtle and almost imperceptible. Apply a corrector with a sponge and smudge downward, making the corrector fade away. This will help create a natural finish.3. Foundation: Your goal should be to use a foundation tone that will convert into an almost unnoticeable second skin. Always apply foundation in a direction called “combing the face.” This means you should divide the face in half. Apply the foundation downwards. Blending downwards will help to create a more natural finish by avoiding a line on the jaw. Apply a powder if necessary. Not all people need a powder. The real function of a powder is to give a matte, shine-free finish. Some people prefer a more dewy finish.4. Shadow: Choose natural-based shadows for daytime to keep professional and elegant. Using just two tones is a safe rule for daytime makeup. Remember that you don’t want your eyes to be too jarring. Use eyeliner in a discreet tone if necessary.5. Eyelashes: Groom and brush before applying mascara. You may want to curl the lashes to make the eyes appear more open. Once again, the less jarring, the more elegant you will look.6. Brows: Groom. Groom. Groom. Your brows create your mood. Check for unruly hairs. Tweeze strays if necessary.7. Rouge: Apply rouge remembering to use earth tones for a polished finish. Use your smile as a guide to create a natural blush zone.8. The lips: Choose a liner that agrees with your lipstick. Remember to create harmony in your makeup. Fuchsia lipstick may not be the best choice for a daytime look.http://www.makeup-artist-world.com

Choosing A Makeup Artist

By: Marcela Bailey

Getting ready for a big event can be daunting, especially if you will be photographed and the centre of attention. You know you want to hire a makeup artist to help you get ready. The process of finding a makeup artist you trust can be daunting, especially if you will be attending a big event where you will be the guest of honour, such as your wedding. How can you be sure to find a makeup artist whose service you will be happy with?A reputable company. If possible, contact a makeup artist through a company that has a great reputation. Find out how the company does their hiring. Do they typically hire people right out of school, or do they prefer to hire artists with more experience? If the event is high profile, you will need a company who specializes in creating makeup looks that will look great when photographed or on captured on film. Ask around to find the company with the best credentials and highest rate of success.Do a test run. Hire the makeup artist before the event a few weeks prior to do a test run. Wear the same outfit you will be wearing. If you like the look, you can hire them again to do the same thing on your big day. Explain to the artist that if the test run goes well, you will hire them for the event. Do this well ahead of time. If things don’t work out, you’ll want plenty of time to find another makeup artist.Do a background check. Once you’ve selected a makeup artist, ask them some information about their background. Where did they go to school? What experience do they have? Ask for references so you can talk to some clients. Try to find clients of theirs on your own, too. If you ask for references, you will probably get in touch with people who will focus in the positive. You want to know any negative information, if it exists.Once you find an artist you are comfortable with and who meets all your criteria, book them right away! Chances are, if they are as good as you suspect, their schedule should be pretty full.
