SMOKEY EYES FOR THE NEW YEAR PARTY!!!!!

COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON!!!!


Most ive done makeup on request this sultry look..Bring out the Diva in you with my quick and easy steps.You dont need expensive makeup to do the look ,although maybe ...jus a lil bit.. it may help.lol. Get  your eyeliner and join the ride....
N.B it doesnt have to be shades of grey or black only...splurge on  greens, blues ,get creative..like i always say.."MAKEUP IS AN ART" dont be conservative about it..xx
Ready...
                                 apply a light shade of concealer to the under eye area, and all over the top lid. Your mineral makeup foundation will do jus great as well...
 this is applied from the lash line up to the brow bone.







Steady....

 First, line both the top and bottom rims with an eye pencil paying close attention to going into the lash line itself.
 small eyes apply liner starting from the middle of the under eye to the outside of the eye.  large eyes: feel free to line from corner to corner.
Hint: If you are using liquid liner you can place dots on the lash line and then follow the dots to get a perfectly straight line.
With a small eye shadow brush or a q-tip, soften the edges of the eye pencil line,in other words smudge gently. on the lower lid smudge a little outwards so some liner is under the lashes.



Go............
                  Take an eye pencil and gently apply all over the eyelid making sure to keep this in your ‘crease’ ( your natural eye socket)Take your time blending as it is the key to this whole look..
Apply a dark /black shadow, use this against your top lash line on the outer edges to create more contrast and SMUDGE!. (If you prefer, you can use your finger tip.)
The shadow helps to set and soften the look.
Next apply a lighter shadow in a neutral tone with a larger eye shadow brush,Encircling the entire eye area, be sure to soften and graduate outward for that perfect blended look.
Add Mascara!#
2or 3 coats if you want to go  dramatic

                                     Thick,
                                     shiny
                                     dull coloured

WHAT TO DO????

• enough rest and exercise go a long way in mantaining a healthy body and skin
• wash face 2/3 times a day with warm water and exfoliate at least once a week. twice a week for starters
• CLAY MASK clean off extra oil and dead cells.HOWEVER DO NOT OVERUSE or skin will increase oil production to compensate.this is known as the rebound effect
• AVOID cocoa butter and mineral oils, try herbs and plant extracts with no waxes
• TONE, TONE, TONE!!!
• USE ANTI SHINE PRIMERS under makeup
• STEAM AND SAUNA open up pores and cleanse
• FOR CLEANERS avoid Sodium laureth sulfate which is the foaming agent in most buble baths, toothpaste etc,it damages natural bacteria
• RATHER go for cleansing lotion with astringent to reduce sebum or complexion bars

in make-up

• look for oil free products
• light moisturisers
• opt for loose powders/talc
• use a primer

MILK AS A BEAUTY INGREDIENT....

This has been seen for a long time as a 'rich' woman's activity.the good news is we dont need to pump some poor cow for hours to fill a bath to indulge in this wonderful pleasure.ok the questions are
WHO?????

CLEOPATRA~the most famous ever queen of egypt!!
said to be the prettiest too.she is said to have had milk baths and wine baths....posh??? hmm BUT...let me say..the woman knew what she was doing  because for us loads of decades later on we harness the power of these two into our own beauty products...better still today i HAD  a milk bath...

 WHAT????

is in the MILK THEN
*LACTID ACID
*ALPHA~HYDROXY ACID...

....WHICH BREAKS DOWN THE PROTEIN THAT HOLDS DEAD SKIN CELLS TOGETHER
IT IS A HUMECTANT.....simply put..it helps the skin retain moisture..after a milk bath you might notice your skin is 'oily'

so think of all the good it'd do to you skin...GOODBYE to blotchy skin, blackheads,dry skin....all those caused by dry skin and clogged up pores.
HOW DO WE DO IT THEN....

• Run your usual warm bath
• add cups of milk 2-4 cups will do(YOU CAN EVEN ADD HONEY)
• soak in and relax for 20minutes
• scrub skin with loofah or mitts whilst in bath
• rinse with short shower
• WASH BATH...(think of the smell later on if left, its easier to wash it soon after)
• ENJOY BEAUTIFUL SKIN!!!!!
