Makeup Looks

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:45:18 +0000

Cute makeup looks have been popular for quite sometimes. The one that this article introduced is actually one of the most popular Asian makeup looks these days. This cute look is especially popular in Japan and the trend is spreading throughout other countries.

The most important characteristic in this makeup look is the eye makeup looks. Unlike other makeup looks, you can see that the outer eye corner is purposely done to give you a downward feel. This downward feel give people a feeling of cute and gentle. To do this cute makeup, follow the 6 steps:

Step 1: Apply brownish gold eye shadow onto your eyelid with a brush. You can emphasize the color around the outer eye corner. This can help to establish the layer feel. (Tip: The eye shadow color should not be too dark which can be over-emphasized and draw away the attention for the whole look!)

Step 2: Draw a thin eye black eye line. Smooth and thin eye line is enough. You do not need a thick one like Smokey eye makeup for a cute look. The most important thing is to draw a little bit longer (extend a bit) at the inner and outer eye corner.

Step 3: Apply thick, long and curl false eyelashes at the outer eye corner. Remember, you do not need full false eyelashes applied onto your eye lid. Trim it into around half or 1/3 of your eye length. Apply thick fake eyelashes only at the outer eye corner emphasizes the downward feel!

Step 4: To make your eyes look even larger and rounder, you need fake eyelashes on your lower lash line. Instead of full false eyelashes, you trim the false eyelashes (for lower lashes) into shorter pieces. Apply around 4 pieces onto your lower lash line.

Step 5: To be cuter, apply pink rouge in a circular motion onto your cheek. Focus more on the centre of your cheek instead of applying upward to the side of your forehead.

Step 6: Apply pink lip gloss to your lips. As the pink color is light, you may need to cover your original lip color with concealer first. This establishes the nude lip makeup.

Makeup Tips

For this cute makeup look, the drawing of eye line and skill of applying false eyelashes are important. First, you must draw an extended eye line. The eye line should be drawn downward near the outer eye corner. False eyelashes on lower lash line are a must. And you should apply thicker and longer false eyelashes near the outer eye corner to emphasize the downward feel!

As the downward eyes give people a gentle feeling, the use of pink rouge and lip gloss is to add back the cute feel. The pink nude lip and rouge reveal your cute face!

Eyelash Glue

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:40:05 +0000

If you are so addicted to false eyelashes, you must know the importance of choosing the best false eyelash glue. The best eyelash glue is adhesive and yet does not irritate your delicate eye skin.

Duo Eyelash Glue
Duo is the bestselling waterproof false eyelashes glue. This is the only brand that attains the medical standard for false eyelash glue. Duo is under the cosmetic brand M.A.C.

You can find both white and black eyelash glue from Duo. The black eyelash glue is a good choice to use with black and brown fake eyelashes. The dark glue becomes black when it is dried. Therefore, it can be invisible underneath your eyeliner. But you need better time control on when to adhere the false eyelashes to your eyes. If you get the wrong timing, that is when the glue is not yet sticky enough, you can make a mess with dark glue around your eyes.

Users are generally satisfied with the glue. Some users say that they have experimented that the glue can keep the false eyelashes stay for 2 days. The dark one blends well with the eyeliner.

The white glue is at the package of 14g and you can get it on Amazon at around $7. The dark one is at the package of 7g and you can get it on Amazon at around $4.5.

Ardell
Ardell is another popular brand for eyelash glue. The glue is made from natural oak latex and is therefore is very sticky. To remove your false eyelashes and the glue, you do not need makeup remover. Just simply pull gently and you can get it done in 5 seconds.

The oak latex glue is not that waterproof. But unless you burst out into tears, otherwise, it can still hold the fake lashes securely in place.

User like the product as it is easy to use and it dries quickly. Like Duo, you can find both clear and dark color for the adhesive glue.

You can get the glue on Amazon at around $3 for 7g.
Shu uemura
Shu uemura is a famous Japanese cosmetic and skincare brand. This glue is with very gentle formula but offering appropriate hold to the fake eyelashes. It is also very easy to remove. It is white and becomes clear when dried. It is even suitable for contact lens wearers.

Users think compared to Duo, this adhesive glue is a lot smoother for application. When users remove their false eyelashes, it comes off easily and it doesn’t ruin their eyelashes.

You can get it at around $8.5.

Asian Makeup

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:47:40 +0000

Though most of the celebrities are with big and round eyes, you can still notice that some of the Asian celebrities having small and Asian eyes are exceptionally popular. The most famous one can be Lucy Liu. Lucy Liu has the very common Asian eyes which are called by Chinese as “Phoenix Eye”. The other characteristic of the “Phoenix Eye” is the single layer of eye lid.

If you have Asian eyes, the biggest problem to you can be “tired eyes”. As there is no layer formed by the double lid, your eyes and face look tired. Let us now begin the Asian Eye Makeup Tutorial!

Eye Shadow

Use three different colors in the same color system (e.g. silvery, grey and dark grey or gold, brown and dark brown). You should pick a light color as the highlighter, mid-color as the base and the dark color for emphasis. First, apply the lightest eye shadow on the whole eyelid. Then apply a mid-color eye shadow onto the lower part of your eye lid. Apply the darkest color eye shadow on your eye lid on the part nearest your eye line. This gives your eyes layers and therefore your eyes do not look so tired.

You can smudge a bit more of darker eye shadow around the outer eye corner. Or, you can do so with the eye liner described later.

Eye line

Eye line is exceptionally important to eye makeup for Asian eyes. You can divide your eye line into two parts, from the inner corner to the outer corner and from the outer corner to the end. First you should be drawing your eye line gently enough and progressively. You can draw around 2mm each time, overlap the drawings, from outer corner to the inner corner. You can have the eye line end (outer eye corner) drawn upward to look more refreshing.

You should try to avoid the drawing of lower lash line. If you want to, drawing the whole lower lash line is outdated. You can try to draw from the outer eye corner and stop at around 1/3 long of your eye.

Make sure you draw the eye line as close as to your lash line. This helps to give a fuller feel. If you leave a space between your eye line and lash line, the eye proportion can be very strange.

Then use the eyeliner to draw the eye line again from the eye line end to the outer corner. This can emphasize the eye line effect.

Use a cotton bud to smudge in the same direction from eye corner to eye line eye.

Finally, smudge a little bit shinny eye shadow around the inner eye corner. Apply your black mascara also!

Asian Makeup Tips

Dark brown, dark grey and black are the safest colors for eye liner.

Smokey eye makeup is one of the best choices for Asian eye makeup.

Try not to use shinny eye shadow, use the matt ones.

Lip Makeup Colors

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 09:48:46 +0000

Many of you may have asked the question – Which lip color suits me? The answer that you get probably is the natural color. A beauty magazine editor did not satisfy with the answer. She flipped over many different magazines and finally concluded lips are not used to speak but to be sexy. If eyes are the windows of your heart, lips are the mirror of your mood. To change temperament in 3 minutes, lip color is your great help!

Lip Gloss, Lip Stick and Lip Balm

It is a common question to most of the ladies. What is the difference among lip gloss, lip stick and lip balm? Lip stick is in a solid form. It is not that shiny but is the easiest among the three to give you solid color onto your lips.

There is no big difference between lip gloss and lip balm. Both of them are usually in liquid or gel form. They give you better lip moisturizing functions. Most of the time, lip balm is colorless.

Different Style

Pretty and elegant

Rose red, purple red or brown lip colors help you establish an elegant feel.

Flamboyance and seductive

Sharp red lip makeup, dark berry can help develop the sexy and passionate glamour.

Different lip colors suit different skin complexion. See the lip make tips and choose the best lip color for yourself!

Light skin complexion

You can choose the cold colors like purple red, rose red, peach red to give a romance feel. If you wish to be more elegant, you can choose a more yellowish based color like cinnamon or tea colors.

Yellow to dark skin complexion

You can choose a dark red color system to make you skin look lighter in color, for example maroon, plum red and dark brown. You should not pick the light color or lip gloss makeup as these will make your skin look dull under the great contrast.

Thin Lips

If your lips are thin, you can choose some sharp colors. Or you can apply a layer of shinny lip gloss to make your lips look thicker.

Thick Lips

If you have thick lips, you should choose darker color ones. Choose lip stick instead of lip gloss as the shinny effect makes your lips look even thicker.

Day and night makeup also requires different lip colors to match.

Day makeup

During the day, the light are bright, you better choose those natural colors to give people the clean image.

Night makeup

At night, with the dim light, you can pick those lip colors that are more sharp and dark colors to give an elegant and sexy image.

Lip color is also a good tool to mix and match with the clothes that you is wearing.

Light color clothes

If you have put on light color clothes, you must use those colors that can give you an elegant feel. You can choose pink, light purple or light tangerine.

Dark color clothes

If you wear dark color clothes, the main principle is to choose those colors that are in the same color system as your clothes. If you wear those cold color clothes, you can choose purple red or rose red. If you wear warm color clothes, you can choose tangerine red or cinnamon red.

Colorless clothes

If you wear dark, gray or white clothes, you better choose sharp color or non-shinny dark color clothes to give an elegant feel.
