face skin 132x150 Parties, yes! Pimples...no.Your skin can be “vapour” too after a lost night at the party. Don’t give up – see what really affects you and what can help you.

Skin suffers

- Alcohol input. Due to alcohol, blood vessels blister, and the pimples that you already have can get inflamed.

- You dance till you sweat. Grease excess can fill up the pores and from here can start a series of problems…

- You fall asleep without removing your makeup. It can be late and you are very sleepy, but if you don’t remove your makeup, definitely you will wake up with all sorts of infections and pimples.

Skin shines

+ You drink a lot of water and you use a face cream rich in antioxidants in order to help you reduce the fatigue effects.

+ You fix your makeup with a powder based on salicylic acid to be able to keep you away from the pimples and germs.

+ You will treat your face with a anti-acne solution and you never go to sleep without completely removing your makeup.

Forget Me Not – how to leave a scented memory

lancome magnifique bottle white background copy 89x150 Forget Me Not how to leave a scented memoryWe’ve lost the art of wearing perfume and with it the gift of seducing the world. For your scent to leave a beautiful trail that reminds people of your presence, you must use a parfum, the most concentrated form of scent. A low-concentration eau de toilette (EDT) will all but disappear in four hours; they were originally only meant to make you feel fresh.

A woman should make a ritual of applying scent. Mist a little eau de parfum ( the concentration between parfum and EDT) all over the body. Then dab parfum on the inside of the wrists and elbows, the dip of the collarbone, below the ear lobes, on the ankles and behind the knees. To really make the fragrance last, follow with your perfume’s scented body cream. Continue reading ‘Forget Me Not – how to leave a scented memory’

Intense and cold colors for winter?

2655 makeup blue 112x150 Intense and cold colors for winter?Stars love the new trend: blue make-up!

Purple was the season trend in clothing and accessories. Blue will be in trend in 2009. What do you prefer? Purple eyelids? Or maybe blue? Whatever is your favorite color, be brave and wear it!

It’s unfair to avoid intense blue and strong purple eyeshadow. I think they are the perfect colors to outline the beauty of brown, black and green eyes, and even the olive natural skins or tanned. If your iris is blue, then purple eyeshadow it’s recommended.

Give up the eyeshadows in discreet colors at least for a while: brown, bronze, peach and pastel! It is time for a stronger and baldy color.

Monochromatic make-up – Jennifer Lopez style

2619 j lo 112x150 Monochromatic make up Jennifer Lopez styleJennifer Lopez, a perfect look at the movie premier “the Curious Case of Benjamin Button”.

Hair color, of a dark brown has warm honey reflexes, very well outlined by the large curls. This is a very good choice for brunettes, because this color sweetens their strokes and creates a very special luminosity to the face. The effect is even bigger in case of Jennifer witch wears a light beige dress, by Cavalli.

Surprisingly, when other stars prefer dramatic make-up in retro and vintage style, Jennifer came back to natural, monochromatic. Star’s make-up artist opted for shadows of warm and velvety bronze for eyes, cheeks and lips. Natural lashes, curbed and helped by extension give the look a gala shining.

Seems like a look easy to obtain, but the refinement in choosing the shades and keeping the natural aspect are in fact, the stakes of this make-up. You can wear the hair style and make-up a la Jennifer at any party even when you go out at night. You don’t have to worry that you will pass as a discreet! You will be remarked for your refinement!

img 3116 copy 118x150 Candy Gloss lipsRub a bright pink lipstick into the lips. Really get it in there to give it staying powder. Next, apply a juicy orange or coral lipgloss liberally to the centre of the lips and follow with a clear lipgloss brushed over the rest of the mouth. This way, the colors won’t bleed into each other and you’ll get a brilliant two-tone viny! effect.

I recommend keeping your eye  makeup simple. A shimmery wash of color and mascara is plenty.
