This is a fun, easy, and safe way to achieve polished fingernails without paying the higher beauty store prices when going through these ten steps. This is for adults only, or to do with adult supervision for younger girls, always keeping safety in mind, and always putting the products up safely after use. Before beginning, wash your nails throughly, even with the polish on your fingernails. Try mostly to get your nails clean underneath your nail cartilage where it is not attached to the skin before beginning. If you notice growths, tiny knobs under there, or any redness or dirt substance that does not come out from under your fingernail bed, stop this process, and go to see a medical doctor.

It happens - you’re playing with the baby and suddenly the head falls forward and wham! Black eye. How are you going to show your face, looking like this, at work tomorrow? Well, a good make-up job will help. Covering a black eye is not easy, and if you tend to wear light shades of make up, that’ll never do. Simply applying heavy make up won’t do the trick, either. The heavier the make-up, the worse the injury looks, sometimes. If the skin is broken whatsoever, it’s not a good idea to put make up on the open area.

Top 10 Stylish Trends

Why does celebrity makeup always look so perfect ?
Celebrity makeup artists have tons of tips and techniques for applying makeup that most people never heard of! Want to be one of the few in-the-know? We’ve gathered some great ones for you right here! Here you will learn some great makeup application secrets to get your most flattering eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, concealer, foundation, blush and lips ever!

Celebrity Eyes :
Makeup artists have many tricks up their sleeves to make celebrities’ eyes pop! They first put an eye shadow primer or some foundation on the eyelids, so that the eye shadow has something to hold onto. For eye shadow colors, they’ll select three shades which are variations on the same color (i.e. light green, medium green, and dark green), or in the same neutral color family (i.e. beige, brown, and dark brown). They will put the lightest color on the brow bone, the medium color on the lid, and the darkest color in the crease. This will emphasize the shape of the eyes and make them stand out!

Other tricks for glammed-up, red carpet eyes include lining the lower inner rim of the eyes with a white pencil to make them appear bigger and applying shimmery clear lip gloss to the top eyelids to make eyes sparkle. Celebrity makeup artists also apply shimmer powder under the brow bone to draw more attention to the eye area and they always smude eyeliner with a Q-tip to make it look less severe or smokier.

To create cat-eyes (like Brigitte Bardot in the sixties or Pamela Anderson today), celebrity makeup artists use dark brown or black eyeliner to exaggerate the end of the eye so it turns up slightly. If you decide to go this route, remember that smudging is the key to perfecting this look!

Celebrity Eyelashes :
Celebrity makeup artists also have many secrets for eyelashes! They always curl eyelashes first to maximize length and curl. They then dust them with powder which makes the eyelashes look much thicker after the mascara is applied! Celebrity makeup artists will often use two coats of mascara, the first will be a lengthening or separating formula, and the second, a thickening formula, to max out eyelash potential! Mascara clumps are combed out between coats.

For special occasions celebrities may use false eyelashes (their secret is dark eyelash glue) or may have eyelash extensions applied which are semi-permanent variations.

Celebrity Eyebrows :
Celebrity makeup artists know that enhancing the shape of the eyebrows is one of the most dramatic ways to improve a celebrity’s appearance. Celebrity makeup artists use Treezerman brand tweezers most often to shape eyebrows. They tweeze the hairs under the arch of the eyebrow to further emphasize it and pluck away any strays. Eyebrows are filled in with the feathery strokes of an eyebrow pencil in either "blonde "or "taupe" for blondes, "auburn" for redheads, and light brown or medium brown for brunettes. Only black-haired gals should fill in their eyebrows with a "dark brown" eyebrow pencil" and nobody should use a black eyebrow pencil as it looks too severe. A secret weapon of celebrity makeup artists is brow sealant, which keeps this brow look in shape all day.

Celebrity Concealer :
Amazing Concealer by Amazing Cosmetics is favored by many celebrity makeup artists. Concealer is usually applied with an eye shadow brush. It is applied in thin layers which are "built up" until the blemish is covered. Concealer typically is applied before foundation. For really red blemishes, makeup artists often use a green concealer first which tones the redness down under foundation.

Celebrity Foundation :
Laura Mercier Foundation is very popular with celebrities. Foundation is usually applied by celebrity makeup artists with a sponge for the most natural looking coverage. Celebrity makeup artists use a foundation primer which is worn between your moisturizer and your foundation. This product refines the skin and helps foundation stay in place all day. If you can’t spring just yet for celebrity products, try Revlon’s Color Stay Foundation with Soft-flex, which stays in place all day and comes in an extensive variety of shades.

Celebrity Powder :
Celebrity makeup artists almost always use loose powder in a translucent or skin matching shade. They will apply it with a puff and then dust it away with a big brush, or will apply it with the big brush, being sure to shake off any excess first. Then the celebrity will carry around a pressed powder or blotting papers in her evening bag for touch ups. Some celebrities skip powder all together for their dry skinned clients. Powder is great for keeping foundation in place for the longest period of time, however.

Celebrity Blush :
Nars and Stila blushes are very popular with celebrity makeup artists. While these are powder blushes, there are other makeup artists who prefer gel blush because of the dewy, healthy glow it imparts. Blush is never applied with anything but a big, fluffy brush. It is applied on the apples of the cheeks in circles, or is swept from the apples to the hair line. Shimmery blushes like Nars blush in Torrid can make the cheeks appear to be glowing, according to celebrity fans.

Celebrity Lips :
MAC lipliner in Spice is the shade thought to most closely resemble natural lip color for most people and is a favorite of celebrity makeup artists. Celebrities often use lip-plumping products like City Lips and LipFusion which have both won awards from Good Housekeeping! Lip gloss is applied at least to the center of the bottom lip to make it look fuller.

Learning how to apply makeup in less than five minutes takes lots of practice. Specific make-up techniques can help to speed up the process. When applying make-up there are certain things that you should do and some processes that can be left out in order to put make up on as quickly as possible.

A common myth is that makeup takes forever to apply. This is simply not true. There are many ways to put makeup on as fast as possible. It is essential to have your most important makeup and tools available and on hand, before you begin. That may mean that you lay out your stash of products on the counter the night before. You can even have them in a particular order such as your first makeup bottle to your last product. Keeping them in a neat order will save on the time it takes to get out your products and play around with them.

Deciding on which makeup to have ready, depends on what you need the most. For easy makeup application the best thing to do is just use the basics; foundation, mascara and lipstick. Anything else is just an extra and adding more makeup then that can take time and can be for days when you have more time to apply makeup.

So when your makeup is picked out and ready to go, you are ready to try your makeup routine test. Remember that there is no reason why all of the makeup you picked out cannot be applied in less than five minutes. So with that added confidence you can try your first attempt at putting on makeup fast.

Start with the foundation first. Dab a bit on your cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Just a small dot on each of these places will do. Then using a sponge or your finger begins rubbing it around, covering the places that need it the most. For most people it`s the T-zone that needs the most care. That is where pores and possible blackheads tend to linger and where coverage is most liked. In that region you can spend a bit more time covering up, for your forehead and chin, just a quick swipe will do the trick and add some balanced foundation coverage.

Next apply your mascara. This little tool will wake your eyes and make them look stunning. You can begin with your upper lashes and brush them out under and over the lashes, then quickly brush out the bottom lashes if you want or you can leave them. Your lashes will make your makeup look almost complete.

The final step to makeup application in five minutes is your administering of lipstick. Color on the lips can make your face shine with color and light. Whereas before you might have looked like a zombie, putting on some lipstick tends to make the color on your cheeks stand out and dress up your look. Any color that you like will do. Just put it on the bottom and then the top lip, press your lips together and you`re done.

Putting on makeup can be complicated or it can be easy. If you watch a makeover show, the makeup artists make it look complex, with liners and several different eye shadow brushes. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to think about all the different kinds of makeup and the way it can be applied. However if you keep it simple and stick to the basics, you can look amazing and not spend too much time putting it on.

Many women are fed up with their old makeup and extensive morning routine. They wish that they could ditch their exhaustive beauty habits and switch to something easier and quicker without losing their put together look. Following these five simple tips can enhance a woman’s natural beauty in just minutes without the usual hours of primping and polishing.

Use a Tinted Moisturizer with SPF
The first step in any beauty routine should always be to moisturize the skin. Using a tinted moisturizer with SPF will kill three birds with one stone, making the makeup process faster. First, moisturized skin will be more supple and look fresher then dry skin which will in turn lay a better foundation for any makeup that is later applied.

Second, the tint in the moisturizer acts as a light cover up and will hide any subtle imperfections on the skin. Third, and most importantly, the SPF will provide protection from the sun throughout the day and will help prevent wrinkles and damaged skin in the future. If necessary, a heavier cover up or a concealer pencil and spot conceal and major blemishes or redness on the face.

Apply a Translucent Powder
Translucent powders can be found in loose or compacted form and in almost any shade, but they all serve the same purpose, to balance out skin tone and set the makeup. Powder is nearly undetectable on the skin and can help create a flawless foundation. It is crucial in the process of makeup application, but it takes only seconds to use.

Use a Cream Blush for Long Lasting Effect
Powder blush has long been the standard, but cream blush is the key to this speedy routine. It will give the face a natural flushed glow and leave it looking and feeling hydrated. It is also longer lasting then powder blush, which saves time that was once wasted in re-applications throughout the day.

Curl Eyelashes and Apply a Quick Layer of Mascara
Everyday eye makeup does not need to be overly exaggerated. A quick curl of the lashes and a layer of mascara will do the trick. Curling the lashes will make the eyes looks wider and brighter. In view of saving time it is suggested that any curling is done before putting on mascara so that time is not wasted waiting for it to dry completely. Mascara is only needed on the top lashes. An easy stroke or two of the lash wand and presto, the eyes are done!

Use a Tinted Lip Balm With SPF
Lips need sun protection too. A tinted balm with SPF will moisturize and protect lips and also give them subtle and natural color. For a little more glam, a thin layer of gloss can be applied to the top of that if desired.

Utilizing these suggestions only takes about five minutes, but will leave a girl looking like she spent hours! With these five tips busy women can speed up their morning makeup ritual and still look beautiful.

Medical experts reveal the foods that can really improve your complexion, fight fine lines, and banish breakouts.

Fight Fine Lines & Restore Radiance

Banish Breakouts

1. Cleanse your face with cleansing milk.

2. After an hour, take a clean tissue and wipe your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. If you find oily residue from all of the above mentioned areas, then you have oily skin.

3. If you find oily residue on the tissue only from forehead, nose and chin then you have combination skin.

4. If the tissue picks up dry, flaky skin then you have dry skin.

5. Those lucky few Scooty girls who pick up neither oil nor dry flakes can be said to have normal skin.

6. There are others who have very sensitive skin which reacts quickly and often adversely to hot and cold temperatures, common place chemicals found in soaps, detergents and cosmetics. Those with sensitive skin have to be careful before choosing any product.

There are three general reasons why we women wear makeup. The first reason is to protect our skin from harmful ultraviolet rays that cause skin damage and aging. Most makeup products nowadays have SPF which shields the skin from ultraviolet exposure. The second reason why we women wear makeup is to hide whatever blemishes we have on our face. It could be wrinkles, puffy eyelids, pimples, dark spots, an unsightly mole or birthmark, or whatever it is that we need to hide. Makeup conceals and takes the eyes away from these problem areas by putting highlights on the other, more presentable features of our face.

The third reason why women wear makeup is to enhance the best features of the face. Beautiful eyes deserve to be made more beautiful with a few tricks with the mascara and eye shadow. Naturally pouting lips should be made to look more luscious and kissable.

But whatever reason we may have for wearing makeup, the most important thing to remember is that we should keep our makeup as naturally looking as possible and that we should wear makeup that suits our age.

The following is a general guide on what kind of makeup should a woman wear according to her age.

Teenagers (15-19). If you are in your teenage years, your greatest asset is your youth, so you should wear makeup that plays up your youth instead of hiding it. You are also at that point in your life where your hormones are still trying to get their groove going, so the cosmetic products you are using should not be a cause for acne breakouts.

Given these, your foundation should be sheer, oil-free and water-based. Opt for a natural look by using natural looking eye shadows, and go easy on the mascara. For your blush on, try a gel blush to get that natural glow on your face; however, use a powder blush if your skin is oily. Keep your lipstick or lip gloss lightly tinted.

Twenties (20-29). You are in the bloom of your womanhood, and so your makeup should reflect that. So, go light on the foundation and match the colors you use for your eyes with the natural color of your eyes, your skin tone, as well as the mood you are in. Tone down your makeup when going to work by wearing a light powder blush and a lightly tinted lipstick. For affairs in the evening, like a date, a party or a night out with friends, you can use brighter colors.

Thirties(30 -39). This is when the initial, telltale signs of aging like crows' feet and fine lines begin to appear. Therefore, you should start toning the palette of your makeup down. It is also time to go a little on the heavy side with your foundation, but wear your blushers in more muted colors. Avoid wearing frosted makeup to keep the attention away from the small wrinkles and fine lines.

Forties (40-49). The signs of aging become more apparent at this age. You should, therefore, start wearing makeup that is kind to your skin. Begin using an oil-based foundation if your skin is dry and put a light base over the wrinkles of your face, in case you have any. Start using concealer creams more generously over the dark spots and dark circles, and steer clear from frosted or metallic eye shadow, especially if you have puffy eyes. Use softer colors for your cheeks.

Fifties and above (50+). This is the time you should start letting yourself age gracefully. Therefore, be kind to your face and avoid the kinds of makeup that are matte-based. Never opt for frosty, shiny or metallic colors for your eyes because it will only highlight the puffiness and the wrinkles. Keep your lipstick colors light and never even attempt to wear blue or red colors.
