Since Japan has good sources of fish produces, they have easy access to fresh sea foods. They eat lots of sea foods. Their diet also contains a variety of vegetables. In fact, in the art of making bento or Japanese lunch box, there should be fruits and vegetables of various colors. The bento box is not complete without yellow, green and red colors of foods incorporated in it. Needless to say, they have a balanced diet daily.Fishes are also high in omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are essential for the over-all functioning of the system. They also help slow down the aging process because of their anti-inflammatory properties. Cellular inflammation is one of the main causes of fast skin aging process. When the cells are attacked by harmful free radicals, they get inflamed. They die a quicker death. Omega-3 fatty acids can help prevent that from happening.
In addition to a good diet, most Japanese people also prefer walking. This provides their body with enough physical activities to improve blood circulation.
Their skin care regimen is also the best. They make use of some of the best products in the market. If you want to emulate the Japanese skin care regimen, you should look for an anti aging moisturizer that has been loaded with the natural ingredients CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Nano Lipobelle HEQ10.
CynergyTK is an ingredient that has been extracted from the wool of sheep. Sheep wool contains a type of functional protein called Keratin. Keratin is a type of protein needed for collagen production. Phytessence Wakame is a type of Japanese sea kelp. This is also used as an additional ingredient for sushi. This sea kelp can help prevent the rapid loss of hyaluronic acid. This acid is needed for collagen lubrication. Younger people have more hyaluronic acid than older people. That is because some harmful enzymes in the body break down this acid. Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 is an antioxidant that can protect young cells from the harmful effects of free ranging radicals.
When applying your moisturizer, use a gentle circular motion. Gently pull your skin upward to avoid skin sagging. The best time to apply your moisturizer is right after taking a bath. Your pores are still open and your moisturizer can penetrate deeper. Massage for a few minutes until the moisturizer has penetrated in your dermis layers.

by: Mike YeagerIt is said that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. That probably explains why possessing beauty and being beautiful is one of the foremost preoccupations of human beings. Over the years, consumerism has transformed such preoccupations into frank obsession. Inner beauty is no longer in - skin-deep beauty certainly is! But what is wrong with that? Cosmetology and the beauty industry have come of age, aided steadily by advances in cosmetic surgery. Daily workouts, gym sessions, visits to beauty parlors and keeping in sync with beauty and fashion tips has certainly become trendy.
Enhancing your beauty
Beauty is in the eye of its beholder. Perfect beauty is but an illusion, but if you can feel good about yourself by enhancing your looks, you may find more joy in your life. And it is not too difficult to achieve. The media is full of beauty tips and beauty products. Beauty supplies are always at hand - be it at the Shopping Mall or on the Net. However, it is beautiful to be simple and yet simple to be beautiful. One can surely start from ones home itself. Maintain a regulated lifestyle. Six to eight hours of sleep with fixed times for fixed quantity meals, avoidance of "junk" food and high calorie stuff, lots of fluid intake, high priority for vitamin-rich fruits and a rigid regime of self-discipline, would certainly make a good start in ones quest for beauty.

Beauty Tips That Seduce - Achieve a Sexy Look in a Few Simple Steps
0 komentar Diposting oleh amazing BLOG di 06.25
Changing your look is as simple as you make it. Achieve a sexy look with these beauty tips; darkening the eyes, adding clear lip gloss, wearing gold around the eyes, making lashes fuller, creating a natural blush on cheeks, and volumizing your tresses.Follow these beauty tips for a smoking hot look that is sure to seduce.
Darkening the eyes
Add a classy touch of seduction by using a deep purple, deep grey or even a deep bronze to the eyes. Create a bold, sexy look by applying the eye shadow or eyeliner close to the lash line on top and bottom. This makes the eyes look dramatic and gives you a sexy allure.
Golden highlights
Next, highlight your eyes and cheekbones by adding a gold bronzer or shimmer at the temple of the head. Adding warm tones, like gold, you give your face a natural glow and inviting look.
Bonus Tip
Most women apply eye shadow first, but according to the experts, starting with eyeliner helps the look last longer. Close your eyes and line the upper lash line. Apply the liner in such a manner that there remains no gap between your lashes and the line. For mastering this trend, you must apply the liner to become part of your lashes, not circling the eye. Use your fingertip to smudge it in.
Clear lip gloss
A definite trend and welcomed by men is clear lip gloss. Guys prefer not to wear your chosen lip color so opt for clear gloss when freshening your pout!
Volumized tresses
The last tip to master for creating a sexy look is volumized hair! Wash and dry as normal. Now hair is ready to be styled. Create lots of volume by spraying the roots with hairspray. Section hair in six ways (top; middle; underneath and from side to side). Do not make exact parts as you want this to be a sexy, natural look. After spraying the roots, let dry. Then move and place pieces where you want them. Whether you are leaving your hair down for a natural look or pinning it up, style hair and respray for a finished look.
IMPORTANT: Beautiful Complexion
Makeup brushes gather bacteria that can transfer onto your skin causing pimples and blackheads so it is crucial to keep them clean. A quick and easy way to clean your makeup brushes is to use baby wipes.
Staying beautiful and attractive takes work, for sure, but keeping your skin clear is one of the simplest ways to ensure great skin and that youthful glow. Make sure your hands are clean before touching your face to avoid transferring additional bacteria. To keep face extra clean and exfoliated, gently massage cleanser into your face, leaving it on for a few seconds to dissolve impurities. Then rinse away with cool water to eliminate excess cleanser and boost circulation. Pat dry with a soft towel.
LAST: Power of Plum
One last beauty tip is Go bold with a plum lipstick. Or...if you want something more subtle, opt for a plum gloss. Deep plum lip glosses are amazingly stunning on many skin tones. Choose a flattering nude that is slightly pink or splashed with shimmer to add shine over the plum hue.

Beauty Fashion and styles arrive and depart, however the green approach to living is at this time to stay. A lot of beauty and style companies are previously on panel by means of this group, other than it is as well equal to us to choose by means of our wallets. In addition to in addition to behind environmentally gracious companies, there are a lot of things we be able to do in our each day beauty routines to reduce our depressing crash on the earth. Here are presently a a small number of tips to take into account.
Examine what is written: for the reason that environmentally easiness is at such a towering quality these days, companies will go to enormous lengths to depict themselves as green, from time to time devoid of support up this picture with deed. The single means to be certain is to create being one of those natives who stands in the stock up passageway understanding each expression which is written on the item’s labels. keep away from products by means of phthalates and parables, which be capable of be poisonous to natives and the surroundings. In addition, be cautious of words for example “natural” and “unrefined.” at the same time as they are from time to time precise, a number of companies toss them in the region of just to get the image management points.
Decrease the use of water: For each minute that you agree to the water to sprint, two gallons of water are use. When we are doing things similar to cleaning our teeth or washing our face, a great deal of the water that is allowable to sprint just goes to dissipate. Come across fewer water rigorous ways to clean up, and obviously, don’t permit the water sprint as you are brushing up your teeth in morning and or in evening.
Make use of natural moisturizers: to a certain extent than with those extremely artificial moisturizers complete out of oils consist of chemicals, put in in normal moisturizers that are immense for the surroundings at the same time as also making your skin supple and soft.

Human nature always seems to have this predilection with beauty and what society believes is beautiful. When we are fat, we want to be slim or thin. When we have the so-called "love handles", we decide we do not love them anymore, so we go to the gym and exercise until our tongues fall out from fatigue. We are blessed with dark colored skin, so we try all the new bleaching products available in the market to lighten our color. We have white skin so we go to tanning salons to get olive skin, and the out-in-the-sun color to your skin. We are naturally brunette but we go to the nearest salon to get our hair done and died to blonde because they said "blondes always have such fun".
And digital technology is also banking on the partiality of people to not have fun with what the Lord has blessed them with originally.
I have been in the digital business for quite some time now, and what I regularly encounter are numerous questions on how to remove blemishes from photos so that their faces would look great and give that "fashion-magazine look" that the media is glamorizing so much nowadays. Here are a few suggestions then from a photographer on beauty retouching.
(Now, if I could just do it in real life, I would be a millionaire by now.)
Beauty Retouching with Photoshop
1 - Try to improve the colors on the face in your photo as far as you can go. To edit, it is better to do it in RGB rather than CMYK. With RGB, editing is more flexible and easy. And explore all the selections in the various feathers. Do not be afraid to experiment. After all, being creative is all about using all the choices available.
2 - After editing your color, it's now time to create a new layer. This is also a tool for you to be able to control your work. Begin your retouch using a heeling brush and cloning stamp to remove the things you want removed. Start with the bigger imperfections and move your way to the littlest blemish. You could also use the heeling brush to remove the lines under the eyes to create that young look to the face.
3 - To adjust the size of any part of the face (e.g. big nose), adjust to your liking with the Liquify filter. Click the Filters menu and choose Liquify. This tool allows you to smudge, move, squish, and even distort your image according to your satisfaction. For best results and easy navigation, turn the grid on. This will let you view the changes you've made.
For increasing or reducing the size of the area, you can also use the Warp, although the Pucker and Bloat are most effective with this type of retouch. Remember to be careful and again, do not be afraid to experiment. Use the appropriate brush size and go slowly, moving bits at a time.
4 -To smoothen the skin, use the cloning stamp and carefully apply to the skin. The best would be to use multiple clicks rather than strokes to even out the skin tone. This is the part where you need to be patient. Be careful with your patterns and do not repeat. Also, try to be creative. Don't worry if you make mistakes along the way. Just go back to the history palette everytime you create something you don't like and start again.
5 - For overdoing the smoothing process, just use the history palette to restore the specific area. If this does not work, try to select and add the noise filter to simulate the texture of the skin.
Finally, after a little adjustments and a little nip and tuck here and there, you are ready to view your final image.
According to the photographer, beauty retouching needs patience and a lot of perseverance. Many methods are available, but there are only a few tricks to help others retouch their photos. Even for professionals, this job takes time to finish. However, with time, one can get faster.
Did you ever notice that some women have flawless skin and look radiant? What is their secret? These women don't really have the flawless skin you think they do, they just know the beauty secrets that make it look that way with good skincare, guidance on how to take care of themselves, beauty treatment recipes, and the way they apply their makeup.Every woman has some features that they would like to highlight or some features that they would like to hide. But, we all want makeup and beauty tips that give us the steps of learning how to get that perfect skin, or how to have soft hands and feet, how to take care of ourselves, how to clear up acne, and step by step makeup tips.
When a woman looks her best, that is when her real beauty shines through, and when a woman uses the proper skin care techniques, and uses the correct makeup application steps to look like she has flawless skin, and takes care of her body her real beauty will show!
I find that when I need guidance on makeup application, having a professional guide to give makeup application tips is very helpful! It not only has a professional makeup artist telling me how to apply the makeup, but I can see if it will be easy for me to do to myself.
Also, when I have a guide or a manual to go by with step by step instructions, I get inspired to give myself beauty treatments like how to make a homemade masks, how to apply my makeup, how to do a pedicure or manicure or a nice soothing milk bath mixture to whip up that will give my skin a radiant glow.

Welcome to Cinema Makeup School's E-Newsletter, which is created to keep you informed of what's going on at Cinema Makeup School. It features news about our students, alumni and esteemed instructors.

This year’s nominees included David Marti and Montse Ribe for “Pan’s Labyrinth”, Aldo Signoretti and Vittorio Sodano for “Apocalypto”, and Kazuhiro Tsuji and Bill Corso for “Click”. It was very inspiring to see achievements of this caliber, and we are very thankful to the Academy for putting the event on.
Cinema Makeup School would also like to extend our sincerest thanks to Instructor Leonard Engelman, who arranged the generous donation of a prosthetic display head from the movie “Apocalypto”. Mr. Engelman is the Governor of the Makeup division of the Academy, and hosted the Symposium. The head was on exhibit at the event, and was completed by the “Apocalypto” makeup team.

What makes a great powder brush? Soft dense fluffy fibers combined with good powder pick-up ability! All of this applies to Sigma Powder Brush. SS150 applies powder evenly and makes it appear natural and almost invisible. The brush is big and feels nice in the hand. You can also use it to apply blush.
Love this brush! Even though the bristles are firm, the brush is extremely soft and mild to your skin! It has a tapered shape, is thick but flat and is perfect not only for all-over application but also to access and apply foundation on the narrow areas around nose, mouth and eyes. Applies and blends foundation (and concealer!) without streaks. You can build coverage up or blend out any lines with this brush easily.
Also referred to as a stippling brush. This brush features 2 length soft bristles and has a dual application. You can use it to apply liquid foundation or blush. I use it mainly for blush. SS187 Duo Fiber Brush picks up just the right amount of blush, distributes color evenly, buffs it in and diffuses the powder blush very nicely. The result looks very natural! I tried applying illuminating powder with it but, in my opinion, it is too fluffy for this.
This brush features angled shape and soft thick bristles. It is quite fluffy and due to this and porous goat fibers, it picks up color very well. You can use SS168 for contouring your face or to apply blush. This brush easily creates the right shadow in the right place and is great not only to apply but to blend and smooth out any seams.
This brush is flat, slightly tapered and has firm bristles which is great for precise application! Bristles are mild to the skin and do not scratch or tug. SS194 makes conceler glide smoothly and is great for under eyes application. Sigma Concealer Brush is also convenient for targeted coverage of certain skin imperfections (acne, scars) and expression lines.
Sure, celebrities are always touting the contents of their makeup bags and their beauty must-haves. This is all well and good, but when it comes down to it, we’d all look flawless if we had a legion of beauticians applying our makeup every morning. Here in the Big Apple, most of us work ridiculous hours, yet almost never head home directly after work.When you’re going to bed at 1 am and waking up six hours later to head to the office, it wreaks havoc on your appearance…and it’s only Tuesday! So what’s a girl to do when she has to dress up for work and look her best? I rely on a tried and true routine, no gimmicks and no personal makeup artists included:
1. I always make time for a long shower in the morning, no matter how tired I am. I feel that much more refreshed; normally I use the Whole Foods brand Lavender body wash, but if you want to pamper yourself check out Kiehl’s body wash in lemon verbena; something about citrus-y scents always wakes me up in the morning.
2. I use Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer with spf 20. It provides a touch of moisture, a hint of color to even out my complexion and an spf to block out UV rays. It’s super lightweight and non-greasy, so it’s perfect for use all year round (I throw on some extra moisturizer underneath during the winter).
3. Now, onto those terrible dark circles under my eyes (if I’m lucky there is no puffiness)! I swear by Sephora brand Cooling Cover Stick in Clair 01. It blends perfectly and is a great under-eye concealer as well as to pat on to any trouble spots. It’s perfectly pocket sized as well and at $12 won’t break the bank, so you can tuck one into your bag for last-minute touch-ups during the day. I think that this may be magic in a tube; my skin is very fair but my sister has super-dark Brazilian-like skin and this is a great under-eye concealer for her too.
4. To finish up my eyes, I use Maybelline Unstoppable eyeliner in espresso on my lower inside lashes only. Then I swipe on a light gold eyeshadow on the inner corner of my eyes (I use Sephora brand Strass No. 17 but any gold that suits your skin tone is fine)….
5. and a light coat of MAC Zoom Lash mascara on my top lashes. If it’s really dire, I’ll swipe some on my lower lashes as well.
6. And finally, blush! I use Cargo blush in Tonga but the color isn’t pink enough for me (although it has good coverage) so once I’ve finished this up I’m switching over to MAC powder blush, as recommended by a friend who has gotten me addicted.
Once I’ve rectified my late night with makeup, I’m almost ready to go. The final step in my routine? The largest cup of coffee I can find.

The world of high fashion make-up is extremely competitive! Talent alone (although essential) is not enough - a determination and drive is just as important. Most make-up artists are self employed and therefore have no guarantee of regular income until they have made contacts with photographers, stylists and agents to promote their work. However the financial rewards and job satisfaction once you have reached the top of your chosen profession are great.
Nowadays it is becoming essential for make-up artists to have hair “dressing” skills to meet the demands of the industry. Having multiple skills will make it easier for you to gain contracts and employment and increase your potential earnings. We recognise this, and therefore include a comprehensive hair styling module in our eight week diploma course. This is also available as a separate course for those who have already completed a foundation course in make-up.
The London School of Beauty & Make-up has long been revered as the number one school in Europe to learn high fashion make-up techniques.This reputation has been achieved by an intensive ‘no time-wasting’ curriculum plus being the only school to use top international working make-up artists to teach and hand over their valuable experience and knowledge.
Make-up training courses will take place within a make-up studio environment using products provided by the school from all the top international fashion houses: Mac, Shu Uemura, Shiseido, Chanel, Nars, Estée Lauder, Benefit and Bobbi Brown etc.
Other than make-up demonstrations the emphasis of all of our make-up courses is very much towards practical sessions with the minimum of theoretical work.This gives the student more hands on experience so they can improve their skills and this in turn makes the courses particularly suitable for overseas students with limited English vocabulary. Students start with a foundation course covering all aspects of preparing the skin, choosing and applying the right colour foundation.They will then practice applying lipstick, eyeliners and shadows plus blending of make-up and eyebrow shaping. They will also cover bridal and special occasion make-up.
After these skills have been perfected students can then choose from a list of higher level courses from creative photographic make-up to fashion, catwalk or special effects including ageing, casualty make-up and body painting. Our creative and intensive courses are directed towards those who wish to work in high fashion make-up, and will include a photographic shoot using a top fashion/beauty photographer and professional models from top London agencies.
Whichever level you wish to aspire to, you will find make-up application both rewarding and enjoyable.
We consider it essential that students have the opportunity to work with many different make-up lectures. Therefore from our creative course level and through to the Fashion Photographic and Media Make-up courses we engage several make-up artists with different opinions and ways of working.
These artists will bring their own portfolios and make-up kit along so that students have the opportunity to view what a professional working make-up artist considers a complete and comprehensive portfolio and make-up kit.
