Summer make-up

Strong, neon colors from the 80s are history. Light and natural tones like pink, beige, chorale and gold are true summer hit.
 

Heavy dark eyeliner and smokey eyes are out of the question. If you want to look more attractive that ever during this summer, use the suggested make-up to have warm and sunny color of complexion.

Here are some ideas that can help you in creating a trendy summer style.

Complexion – natural make-up

Fresh and shiny face – that is what you need this summer. Healthy looking skin is always in fashion. To have impeccable skin look don’t forget to clean it and protect it every day from harmful sun rays. Summer look is consisted of natural and light, almost invisible, powders that give a healthy and shiny look to your skin. There is also and unavoidable shimmer. Apply it on your cheeks and sunned skin to have a special glamorous look. Summer looks are also pink-colored cheeks, which are especially noticeable on natural and fresh skin color.

Eyes – very long eyelashes

Whether you are using artificial eyelashes or mascara that is extending your natural ones – dark, long, luxurious eyelashes are trendy every summer. However, it is important to avoid exaggerations when it comes to this part of your look.

When it comes to shades, choose lighter colors like chorale, pale purple, gold or beige, in combination with shimmer. In order to create a lighter smokey eyes version, apply brown or purple eyeliner on the edge of eyelashes.

Lips – all pink tones

From chorale tone to light pink and purple – with these colors on your lips you can’t make a mistake. To avoid spilling of the lipstick over the line of your lips, use beige penciler and mark the natural line of your lips.

Skin care during tropical heats

Summer whether is exhausting the skin. It is also making it harder to clean it and perform the daily care. Here are several tips that can help you keep the freshness and the shine of your skin. 

1. Water is very important. To ensure the necessary body hydration, you must drink water during the entire day.  Experts are recommending at least 1,5 liters of water per day, but, if the temperatures are really high, you should drink even more water.







2. In addition to the water you are drinking, you must also use water several times per day to wash your face. You are getting two things with this – instant refreshment and cleaning. Always use appropriate product when you are washing your face, and when it comes to wipes for face washing, use them only when you’re on the road or at work. For a feeling of freshness, you can spray a little bit of rose water on your face. 




3. With washing you are cleaning your face, but to remove the layer of dead cells on it, you’ll need peeling. For an extra cooling you can use cucumber juice or ice cubes. By applying the mentioned juice on your face, you will close the pores, and that is very important after peeling. To close the pores you can also use a face mask.



4. Regularly apply cream on your face to prevent its drainage. The best choice for this, during summer months, is moisturizing cream, which is moistening the skin but doesn’t leave greasy traces.







5. As your face, the hands also need regular care – peeling and moistening. During the day we are washing our hands many times, and that increases the risk of drainage. That is why we need to apply cream several times per day, as many times as necessary. Every few days you should also apply on them rose water in combination with glycerin and lemon juice – this mixture preserves and restores the healthy skin.





6. You can remove the rough skin on your feet with stone nail file.  It is recommended that, when you do this, you soak your legs in warm and then in cold water, to stimulate blood circulation. Keep your legs for two minutes in warm water, and then repeat the same in cold water. Perform this process several times.







7. However, the most important product you need during summer months is sunscreen. Choose SP factor that matches your type of skin and put it on every time you are leaving your house.

Even a little bit of make-up can make wonders…

Summer heats are forcing you not only to discard warm clothes, but also and heavy make-up so that your skin can finally breathe and rest after long cold periods. 


Summer, sun, sweating, city heat…all of this should imply and a lot lesser make-up on your face. It is time for your face to rest after long wintery “primping”. You should use make-up as little as possible, and try only to indicate that you are wearing it.

Every girl wants to look like she is wearing make-up, but, in reality, most of them doesn’t like to wear make-up on their faces, especially when a certain look requires putting make-up on in several phases. In such cases, a lot of time and effort is necessary to apply multiple layers of make-up, and that is why many girls are wondering if it is worth the trouble to take of the make-up before sleep when, in the morning, they will have to repeat the whole process.

In any case, do not leave make-up on your face when you go to sleep. No matter how tired, will-less or lazy you might be, spare 5 minutes of your time and get rid of the mask that is suffocating your pores and making your skin look old and tired.

But, if you follow the next few steps, you might be able to achieve natural look with just a little bit of make-up, and still look wonderful.

Step one

You will definitely need tinted moisturizer with sun protection factor 15 in order to give shine to your face without having the feeling of powder on it. If you have very dry skin, you should first apply the moisturizing cream, and then the tinted one.



Step two

In the process of applying the cream, make sure that you leave no traces of it. Use just a little of it, apply it with rubber gloves and thoroughly smear it.





Step three

 Take a large brush, apply a little bit of make-up powder on it, and then evenly apply that powder on you face.




Step four

Wipe the brush with a handkerchief, and then, once more, use it on your face. In this way, you will remove the unnecessary traces of powder that might have remained in the process of application.




Step five

Curl your eyelashes. Keep the eyelash curler on your eyelashes for 10-15 seconds and then apply translucent gel-mascara for eyelashes, which will affix them and help to grow faster. If you somehow succeed to make them longer, you will not need mascara ever again.



Step six

And, in the end, apply balsam or translucent gloss on your lips. You should first apply it on the tip of your finger, and then spread it on your lips. But, don’t exaggerate…you want only to give them a little bit of shine.

Body hair – get rid of it.

From times beyond memory, women looked for means to eliminate unwanted body hair - from Egyptian depilation to wax, epilator and little creams. Today we have modern lasers and electrolyses. Here are a few methods that are most commonly used today.

Unwanted body hair can sometimes be a serious problem. They could make you feel uncomfortable and undesirable – especially during summer. In that case, it is best to remove them or, at least, hide from other people's sight. To achieve that, here are several methods you can try.

Hair removal is one of the most demanded treatments in beauty salons. When you go shopping you can see dozens of different products that are serving that purpose, or, at least, provide temporary satisfaction. Luckily, there are several methods for hair removal and these are the most common ones and the most efficient ones.

1. Epilators are electrical devices that are removing unwanted body hair. These devices are designed to remove several little hairs from their root at once, and that slows their further growth. This method is mainly designed for home use. Epilators are used on legs and hands, and the results are lasting for several weeks.






2. Plucking is another method of hair removal, and this process, which implies plucking of individual little hairs mostly on the face area, is done with tweezers. The results are lasting for about three weeks. Unfortunately, this method is very painful. 

3. Waxing is the most spread method of body hair removal. It’s one of the oldest and most efficient treatments. Its advantage over the others is wax, which is cheap. It can be performed on any part of the body and it gives long-lasting results. Besides removing the hairs from their root, waxing also removes and a dead layer of the skin, which makes your skin look smooth and shiny. Regular use of this treatment damages the root of body hairs, and because of that, they are growing slower, and sometimes they even stop growing at all.

4.  Egyptian or Persian depilation is being done with paste made of sugar, water and lemon juice. Its procedure is identical to waxing. It’s a cheaper solution and amazingly effective. It dates from 1900 B.C. when the body free of body hairs was an imperative of beauty, youth and innocence in the old Egypt.







5. There are also gels, foams and creams for depilation that are chemically removing body hair. The procedure is simple and it can be done just a few minutes after shower. You apply the product on the desired area, wait a few minutes, and then you wash it out from your skin or remove it with spatula. This is one of relatively expensive but not sufficiently efficient methods. It gives you only temporary results – 2-5 days. 





6. Electrolyses or depilation with electricity is the only truly permanent method of body hair removal. In every follicle of a hair a small needle is put in.  This needle is destroying the root of a hair with electricity. After that, every hair is being individually removed with tweezers.







7. Laser body hair removal is a method that is becoming very popular, mostly because it is painless and has long-lasting results. This depilation is performed with a laser that is producing a beam of light. The laser’s beam is passing through the skin and reaching the hair’s follicle. The follicle is absorbing the light and destroys itself.






8. A lot of women are preferring the traditional way of depilation, shaving with a razor, which is cheap, easy and quick. The negative side of this procedure is short term result – new hairs are growing after 2-3 days, and every time they are more stronger than before.






9. However, if you want to camouflage the fact that you are hairy on some areas where you don’t want body hairs, you can always whiten them with special creams. Such creams are applied only on beginning moustaches and face hairs. Your body hair will loose its pigmentation and become more transparent, but that will not remove them and your skin will not be smoother and more pleasant to touch.

Perfume – how to choose the right one?

With some many perfumes out there, choosing the right one isn’t that easy. Here are some rules that can help you at that. 

This one is too sweet,  this one too strong, this one is old”…How is it possible that with some many fragrances that are available today, we are more and more sounding so indecisive and frustrated when choosing one for ourselves. In our own defense we can say that choosing the right perfume isn’t that easy task because it needs to represent our ideal olfactory signature, or, at least, to be the best one that "goes" with our style and time of year.

To make the right choice regarding perfume, you need to arm yourself with patience, give yourself plenty of time and act like you're going on food or wine degustation. Go with "empty stomach", but be careful not to get "drunk”! Enjoy! And try to follow these ten simple rules.

1. Morning is the best time of day for the selection of perfume, because our nose is "fresh", and the sense of smell is most sensitive.

2. When choosing, don’t wear any other fragrances on your self to avoid unwanted mixing between yours and the fragrance that you are “tasting”.

3. Wear clothing in which you feel most comfortable. This will give a signal to the salesperson to which “type” you belong.

4. The fragrance is developing in one way on the blotter (piece of paper for testing the perfume), and quite another in contact with the skin. If its scent is interesting on the blotter, only then apply it on the skin.

5. Give the perfume time to develop, at least 30 seconds before you smell it for the first time.

6.  No one is forcing you to decide immediately. Take a walk with the scent on the wrist to see how it is "behaving" during the day.

7. Do not try too many perfumes at once because you'll soon get tired of it. Five different scents are the maximum!

8. Try different concentrations. You’ll be surprised how perfume and eau de toilette of the same fragrance can develop completely differently on your skin.

9. Ask for a tester from the salesperson so that you can extend your degustation for several days. 
   
10. Disregard the comments of your friends. Selection of perfume, just like the selection of partner, is too intimate to be influenced by someone else. Why should you care what someone thinks if you really like it.

Men like natural look!

The way in which sexes experience beauty is completely different. While women think that red lipstick and artificial eyelashes are sexy, men abhor these things.

If you think that a man doesn’t notice if your legs are freshly waxed, how you smell and how you're wearing makeup, you are wrong. The fact that you spent hours of your free time styling and putting make-up so that your hair is looking like it was under a press and your face like a painter's canvas, is not at all a guarantee that you will enchant some man.On the contrary.

Studies show that women’s perception of beauty is completely different from what men consider attractive. One particular study found out some beauty tricks that work on them. In that study, men of various ages rated photos of various women. Here are those beauty tricks.



Moderately perfumed

If you're going on a date with a guy that you like, and you want him to think about you all night after that, know that you will not achieve your intention with a cloud of perfume around you.  Don’t exaggerate with anything on a first date, especially with perfume. Men consider over-perfumed women unattractive. They don’t want to have a feeling like they just got out of perfumery when they are beside you. They want to sense your perfume only when they lean to whisper you something.

Natural lip color

Make-up artists believe that the eternal maxim about red lipstick is in fact just a female illusion and that the blood red lips on a woman's face are actually repulsive to men. Vibrant lipstick colors and textures with which they shine, are not at all attractive to them. When they start about kissing you, and then notice that lipstick, their will falls into water. They like a natural “no make-up” look. So, avoid red, pink, purple and other dark lipsticks and use only natural, light sticks.


Natural eyelashes

This is something you should adopt immediately. A thing called artificial eyelashes men consider absurd. They simply do not realize that artificial eyelashes give extra confidence to most women because they are covering flaws, which, otherwise, only they see. For men, this supplement is more like a mask that could be used for a masquerade, and they do not consider it attractive at all. If you wink them with that fan made of artificial eyelashes, they will immediately place you in a group of women that are putting a lot of effort in their looks, and whose morning ordinary look they are feared the most. Such women profile is automatically disqualified.

Smooth skin

To leave a good impression on a man you must take good care of your skin. In fact, most men agree in their opinion that there is no better feeling than caressing silky, nourished women's skin. When a woman is sexually attracted to him, he is immediately asking himself: "What kind of body is under those clothes?", "Is her skin smooth?”… Men claim that there is nothing more repelling than a rough or unwaxed skin.



Smokey look

The study has shown that most men like women with little or no makeup, but all of them adore the famous Smokey Eyes look! Smokey Eyes look gives mysticism to the female look, and that is irresistible to men. Women receive most compliments from men when they apply Smokey Eyes.





Dismissed hair 

When you have casually dismissed and slightly entangled hair, then you are most beautiful to men. Its not that they do not appreciate your hair styling, for them it is simply a waste of time.  Also, men are always voting for the natural hair color. If you are coloring your hair for years, then at least try to make your hair look natural.

Island of blondes

The dream of blonde lovers will soon come true. An island in the Maldives will be populated exclusively with blonds and blue eyed girls.  

We want to break the stereotype that blonde women are less intelligent. Our girls are very smart and they have degrees”, says Giedre Pukiene, managing director of Olialia tourist agency, which is planning to populate an entire island with blonds.

Besides providing all classical tourist services, in a special education center, blondes will teach interested visitors how to always look perfect. Cruising lovers will also have the opportunity to rent luxury yachts with crew entirely made of blonds.

The plane that will bring tourists on the island will also be managed by blonds.

According to their plan, the island will be opened for tourists in 2015.

Oil for beautiful hair

People usually think that hair oils are good only for those who have dry and damaged hair. But nourishing effect of these products is suitable for all hair types, and great for improving quality of hair and skin on your head. 


Those who avoid such treatments are in risk of a serious hair damage caused by external factors. Include oils in your daily or weekly routine and you’ll improve the quality of your hair.

These are the most popular and best hair oils.









Jojoba Oil

This natural oil is an ingredient of many products for face and body care. It can control and ensure proper production of sebum on the surface of head skin, and in that way, it is preventing grease and moisture over-collecting on the hair follicles. With Jojoba oil, you can successfully prevent dandruff and hair loss, while the hot oil treatment nourishes the hair. One more advantage of jojoba oil - you can use it to make easier combing of tangled hair, because it softens the hair.



Coconut Oil

Soothing coconut oil gives needed moisture to the hair. This natural oil is rich in calcium, magnesium and potassium, and these essential ingredients prevent itching of head skin and other hair problems. If you properly and regularly use coconut oil, your hair will be softer and have better volume.




Almond Oil

You can encourage and ensure hair growth with the use of almond oil in a variety of treatments. In combination with massage, you can increase blood circulation in the head skin.  This will ensure normal reproduction of cells, which helps rebuilding the hair. Almond oil is rich in vitamin A, which protects the hair follicles.




Olive Oil

There is no doubt that olive oil has positive effects on our skin, nails and hair. This oil not only strengthens, but also hydrates the hair follicles. Apply a few drops of olive oil on your fingers and massage it into the head skin. You can apply olive oil on the entire length of your hair, to provide the complete treatment, shine and volume to your hair. Of course, if you apply it in that way, rinse it with shampoo after the treatment.

Janice Dickinson – In mid-fifties and still sexy

Last year, the eccentric fashion model Janice Dickinson posed naked for the cover of the Closer magazine. She claims that she maintains her great figure with regular diets and hard exercises, but also, from time to time, with Botox injections.

Janice Dickinson, supermodel known for her eccentric behavior, has shown that she is not ashamed of her body even though she is in mid-fifties. She proved that last year, when she posed for the photographers of Closer magazine, completely naked.

Dickinson, who calls herself the first supermodel, is known to the public as a person who has had a lot of plastic surgeries. However, in spite of numerous surgeries, the model highlights that she immensely loves her body. She claims that she maintains her great figure with regular diets and hard exercises, but also, from time to time, with Botox injections.

Mother of two children

I love my body, but it's a compulsive obsession. I have to make sure I exercise and that the ingredients that go into my body are completely organic. I relax, meditate and do 80 minutes of yoga every day. I hike and make sure everything I eat is organic. I eat steamed fish, chicken and turkey, plus salads, carrot juice and supplements.”- said Dickinson, who likes to perform corrections on her body.

She did her first surgery at the age of 32.

There’s no such thing as too much. Whatever it takes to make an individual feel better, I’m all for it… In my 40s I signed up for Botox and now I have it every six months.” –said Dickinson.

She has two children, and in the past, she was in a relationship with numerous celebrities, including Liam Neeson, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Mick Jagger, for whom she once said that he has an incredibly small penis.

She likes revenge

More than 20 years have passed since her relationship with Jagger but even after all that time, Janice still has no kind words for the frontman for the Rolling Stones. In fact, Janice was so furious that Jagger left her after only few weeks spent together, that she promised Mick to haunt him for rest of his life, by telephone.

He’s a nasty Sir Mick, with the smallest penis alive”, she said. Because of that, Jagger in the 80s allegedly participated in the Amazonian ritual in which the bee stings encouraged the growth of his penis.

In late '70s, the world's first supermodel was in love with Steven Tyler. When he left her, she decided to revenge by spending all her money on cosmetic procedures that will make her look just like him. In that period, she was proclaimed as the person who mutilated herself with plastic surgeries, and was compared to the king of pop, Michael Jackson.

Sylvester Stallone's fiancée

Janice Dickinson was, among other things, and Sylvester Stallone's fiancee, whom she publicly accused of taking steroids. He denied it by calling her a liar.

During one appearance on TV, the former supermodel revealed that this action-movie actor used steroids to strengthen his body. She even claimed that he gave her injections while she slept.

He also juiced me up. I’d wake up and my arm was as big as Popeye – steroids, testosterone, all that stuff

Stallone was engaged to her in early nineties, but he "dumped" her when the DNA test showed that he was not the father of her daughter Savannah.

Warren Beatty’s notch

Janice had an affair and with Oscar-winner Warren Beatty, actor who slept with more than 12,700 women. Legendary Hollywood actor, writer and director told writer Peter Biskind, who wrote his biography book, that he lost his virginity at age of 20, and that for the next 35 years, on average, he slept with another woman everyday.

I once woke up in the middle of the night. Warren wasn't in bed. I looked across the room and found him admiring himself in the mirror. I went back to sleep, in the morning, when I woke up, he was standing there again, playing with his hair, mussing it; trying to get it just right -- going for that just-been-fu*ked look. I guess he thought he was pretty too.”

Shine like a real star

To achieve the perfect look you do not need a lot of time or effort.  Here are some tricks that the world's most famous make-up artists are using. 

It is well known that even stars do not look perfect when they get out of bed in the morning. A whole team of experts is working on their perfectly designed appearance. Among them, in most cases, are the best and most famous make-up artists, who, like true artists, from stars create more brilliant stars.

Make-up artists have revealed some of their strictly guarded secrets from their world of embellishments that can help you reach the flawless look. Here are some of their tips.

Larger, sexier eyes

Before you start working on your look, you may want to prepare everything that you will need. The first thing you need is an eyeliner pencil. Skip the black pencil and use any other. Cheerful colors for example. Then define the outside corners of the eyelids. Now put a shiny shade of white powder on the inner corner of your eyes.  You eyes will look fresher and more opened in this way. Take an eyelash curler, clamp lashes near the roots and hold it like that for a few seconds.  After that, apply mascara in two layers. This way, you will achieve a dramatic and attractive look. During summer days, refresh yourself a little and, instead of black, apply mascara in some other colors, like blue, green, purple…

Glossy, fuller lips

How to create fuller and adorable lips? This trick really works and is easy to use. Apply colorless lipstick with shiny gloss on the part under your nose and then all over to the edge of the upper lip. With this trick, you create the illusion of larger lips. Then use the nutrient lipstick, but again with shiny gloss. Be very careful not to put a matte lipstick, because it doesn’t reflect light and doesn’t create the effect of fuller lips. In the end, apply a little bit of lip-gloss on the middle of your lips and behold, your lips are already overwhelming.




Accentuated cheeks

In order to make your cheeks look irresistible, you will need a shiny foundation and a bronzer that is at least two shades darker than your skin color. Make the "fish" face, suck in your cheeks and emphasize them with bronzer. Then smile, and apply shiny foundation over the cheeks, but from the inner corner to the outside. Contrasts of these two combinations emphasize and shape the cheeks.





Perfect skin

To make your complexion look perfectly clean, get a little make-up brush and use it to apply concealer on every pimple, scar and redness. Lightly go over these deficiencies, without tapping and thick layers. Brush is the perfect accessory because its tiny hairs can reach deep into the skin and cover redness better than your fingers can. Now that you've covered everything with the concealer, it's time to apply the appropriate shade of powder on your face.





Narrow nose

You do not have to go to plastic surgery to narrow your nose. Just implement this advice and your concerns will disappear in a minute. Apply the powder that you normally use for a face on your nose. After that, apply a bit of highlighter on the middle of the nose and drag it to the top. The corners of the nose look a lot darker in comparison to the other parts, and with this, you are visually creating a picture of a narrower nose.  In the end, apply powder in order to fix your make-up, but in a thin layer to avoid spoiling this effect.

Smile - The Elixir of Youth

It is scientifically proven that people who love life, people, do not smoke, do not drink and who are curious, are healthier and live longer. With a little effort, you can become one of them.


How to stop the aging? Many great minds throughout the centuries thought of this. However, even to this day, we did not find the correct answer. Elixir of eternal youth has remained an enigma.

The contemporary world is fighting years with botox, plastic surgeries and many other not-so-friendly methods, but yet, we cannot escape from years. However, there is a way to delay aging for a while. It is not botox nor surgeries, but small changes in our lives that can delay aging.

Stop smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol

Many studies have confirmed that smoking causes premature skin aging. Not to mention what happens to internal organs. Alcohol has a very similar effect. Frequent alcohol consumption causes breaking of small blood vessels and skin dryness.



Eat fruits and vegetables

Although you hear this in every article about health, the fact is that regular consumption of fruits and vegetables improves health. All beneficial compounds found in fruits and vegetables are helping the body and the skin to stay young for a long time. For example, tomatoes are especially useful during summer, when our skin is regularly exposed to the increased effect of the sun, because it protects the skin from the appearance of wrinkles.


Enjoy life

It is scientifically proven that people, who know how to have fun and enjoy in small things, are healthier, live longer, and look younger. A good mood contributes to the secretion of the so-called positive hormones, which, of course, are making wonders for our health.





Music therapy

Enjoy in your favorite music every day, because that will stimulate a good mood. It has been proven that classical music can heal and contribute to a better general condition. For example, Mozart's music stimulates a better brain functioning, while Beethoven’s music is good for the heart. When you wake up in the morning play a CD with your favorite music and extend your life.

Decorate your living space in a way that suits your taste

People, who live in an environment that they like, are happier and healthier. The living space is of great importance for every man because it is his oasis of safety.  It is therefore important that you decorate your home the way you liked it. This will provide you with good feeling that is essential for longevity and good health.



Learn your whole life

People who are prone to constant learning are actually eternally young. These people are in some ways still children and curiosity leads them through their lives. Such people, as has been scientifically proven, live longer and happier. Constant hunger for knowledge keeps them younger.



Cook for dear people

Gather your dear people and cook them dinner. You will feel that you are doing something good, and you’ll also be able to enjoy in good company and mood. Science confirms that people who have good friends are happier and live longer.
