Ten steps to give yourself an at home manicure

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.

You will need:

1 pack of cotton balls

1 fingernail polish remover

1 emery board

1 nail trimmer

1 cuticle remover

1 bottle of fingernail polish

A couple of paper towels

1) Nail polish removing.

Firstly, take out as many cotton balls as needed one at a time, and safely douse each fingernail with nail polish remover, until your whole fingernail is your natural true color. It is available now at the stores in bottle or sponge form in a bottle. For the sponge type, you have to dip your finger into the container, usually a plastic one, and swish your finger around frequently checking it to make sure your fingernail polish is coming off. For the fingernail polish in the bottle without a sponge embedded in it, you have to carefully tip it about a fourth of the way over using the cotton ball at the top to stop up the top from spilling out all over, and If you need to, you can have some paper towel handy to wipe off any excess fingernail polish remover that spills over as a result. Whichever fingernail polish remover you choose, swab your fingernails one by one until they are your natural color.

If you frequently use fingernail polish, your natural nail can become tinted a little of a yellowing color, not to be confused with bold yellow, and not red or green, or swollen. If your fingernails or fingers start to become red, green, or swollen, seek medical attention immediately. If you are doing ok, and your nails are now their natural color, go to step 2.

2) Filing your nails with an emery board.

Next, you should have what is called an emery board. An emery board is usually a very inexpensive fingernail board used for filing down rough nail surfaces that is rough on the surface at least on one side. An emery board should not be used to scrape your natural nail surface at all. It will make your smooth fingernails rough.

You can use the emery board quite effectively on the end of your nail, in order to give it a consistent shape and make the tip of your nail smooth, not rough. Emery board come in all shapes and sizes, and you can even look for one to fit your personality or wardrobe color-wise. As soon as you are done smoothing the tips of your nails in a uniform manner, proceed to the next step 3.

3) Trimming your fingernails.

A fingernail trimmer is used in your home nail process when you want to reshape or shorten your nails more efficiently than with an emery board. You can make your fingernails shorter using fingernail clippers, which are clippers that are small in size designed to fit your nail shape and be able to cut your fingernail tip surface, without having enough force in them to really do massive cutting damage, but still use safety.

You should trim your nails at least once a month if they are healthy. Never trim unhealthy, discolored or brittle fingernails. Never trim your nails to the quick, which is the place where your fingernail cartilage meets your skin.

Be mindful of safety, even at this stage of the process. If you have hypoglycemia, or any other disease such as parkinsons or nerves, do not clip your own fingernails if you might have an issue of safety. Some fingernails are hard, and take some sharper fingernail cutters to cut through them. If this is the case with yours, you may want to consider going to a salon or a simple medical visit and have a professional trim them. But if not, trim away. This is mostly a basic and fun procedure for most people. Then start with step #4.

4) Cuticle removing.

Next, you need to use your cuticle remover to remove your cuticle, or actually push it down. Your cuticle is that soft skin that forms at the bottom of your fingernail at the place where your fingernail cartilage and your skin meet. It is just like a foreskin. It's job is to cover the place where your nail cartilage meets your skin, and make a smooth transition for that to happen. As your fingernails grow, your cuticle skin stretches, and this process of removing your cuticle pushes back that excess to promote your nail growth and health.

Again, you would want to check your cuticle area for rashes, redness, swelling, discoloration of any kind, and if any of those issues are present in your cuticle, seek the advice of a medical professional before pushing it back.

If you find that it looks pretty much like your fingernail and finger color, but with a different smoother and softer texture, go ahead and push the cuticle back with the cuticle remover, which is a little stick like device with a softer but firm tip made especially for the cuticle. It is not a cutting type tool. It looks a little shorter than a chop stick, but has a necessary soft tipped end to make sure that your cuticle does not get damaged.

Push back your cuticles one at a time using the cuticle removing tool. These are available from nearly any beauty supply store, or store that carries fingernail accessories of any kind. These are also relatively inexpensive.

It is important to note that if at any time in your process for any reason, if your nails start to bleed mildly or a lot, stop this procedure at once. This is not likely to happen in a normal fingernail manicure, but it may be a nice way of warning you of a problem with your own nails that you may need to get medical attention for.

5) Pick a color.

Now you are ready to pick out a nail polish color from your own home nail polish collection. Pick out a color that matches your skin coloring, outfit styles that you wear, or shade of lipstick. If you polish your nails frequently, make sure that you give them one or two days to air out and breathe naturally to promote healthy nails in between polishes.

6) Application of finger nail polish color.

Each bottle of nail polish comes with it's own applicator inside the bottle, attached to the handle of the fingernail polish bottle. Just unscrew the fingernail polish bottle, and scrape off the excess fingernail polish on the fingernail polish brush applicator on the side of the bottle itself. You can use a paper towel for this process, but you may end up with paper towel residue mixed into your color, so I would not recommend it. Also, you need to make sure that you have a steady hand for this in order to get your finger nail polish on your fingernail area only, not on your skin. Skin always needs to breathe, and cannot with polish on it.

When you are ready, take the applicator holding non dripping color to your nails, brushing from the base of your fingernails upward towards the top tip of your nail. Make sure you coat your whole nail evenly. Starting at the base of the nail and applying polish in an upward motion helps you evenly coat your nail.

7) Correcting polish mistakes.

If you make a mistake, take a paper towel and douse it with nail polish remover as you did with the cotton ball in step one, and try to get the excess polish off of your skin using the flat edge of the paper towel. Then, if you need to re-coat that fingernail, go ahead. If not, great. Just move on to the next fingernail until you are done.

8) Second coats of nail polish.

Wait at least ten minutes before applying a second coat. You should not paint over your nails another time unless your nail polish is dry the first time. Without air, or low to medium speed fans blowing on them, it will take about five minutes for your fingernails to dry. Using high speed fans near your wet nail polish can move your fingernail polish around your fingernail and mess it's even coat up.

9) Quick drying nails.

You can buy the quick drying kind of nail polish at the stores, or a quick drying sealer that is clear over the color of your nail polish to quicken drying if you are in a hurry. As a reminder, do not attempt to polish your fingernails in an area that does not have proper ventilation. And do not polish your nails around the face of infants.

10) Save and print this article to have your own home fingernail painting party over and over again.

This is a fun and easy way to polish your own nails at home without paying the higher priced salon prices. Save this article, and print it out for your own fingernail painting party. Use this time as a de-stressing technique for you while beautifying your fingernails, or use this time as a special and fun group nail polishing time, inviting your closest family and friends to have a home nail polish party with you.

How to hide a black eye with makeup

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.

If the injury is painful, use acetaminophine instead of aspirin since aspirin will make it harder for the blood to clot and for the wound to heal. Prior to applying make up, keep cool compresses on the eye to keep the swelling down - no amount of make-up will cover a swollen eye. Just before applying make-up, pack eye in ice for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and place a very warm wash cloth on the eye for 5 minutes.

Use a liquid concealer in a yellow-green shade. This will offset the red and blue of the bruise. Dab the concealer with your fingers, working from the middle of the bruise, outward. Take the concealer a little ways past the perimeter of the bruise. Let the concealer dry well. If a second coat is needed, apply and let dry. Since you don’t want one eye to look different than the other, apply the concealer in the basic area on the opposite eye.

Now use a base coat of liquid make up that well matches your skin tone. Apply as you normally would, but don’t work it in too much. The liquid make-up can eventually remove the concealer if you work it too much. Smooth out the entire base make-up by using a compact puff. Use an eyeliner to outline the ridge of the bottom eyelid.

A different type of make-up that works pretty well is pancake make-up. It requires you to add water, work it into a mud-type substance, then apply. The pancake make-up can be made very thick or extremely thin. Make it thin enough to go on the face smoothly, and not lumpy. Don’t try to smear globs on, it’ll only make the eye stand out more.

Apply the rest of your normal make-up, but concentrate on thickening and darkening the lashes, then lightening the lids. One way to get very thick, dark lashes is to apply a thick coat of black mascara, dust on baby powder, then apply another coat of mascara. It will ruin your mascara but give you the thickest lashes you’ve ever had. To apply the baby powder, place the powder on your finger, lean over and brush on the lashes. After you’ve applied the second coat of mascara and it’s completely dry, use a light-colored eye shadow
, about the color of your blush. Other shades that will look good are light purples and light blues.

Most make-up jobs, no matter how well-applied, won’t completely wipe away all traces of the black eye, but you can how obvious the wound is by using the above techniques.

Women love to look gorgeous and it’s not possible without stylish makeup

Women love to look gorgeous and it’s not possible without stylish makeup. You can change the way you look and highlight your facial features with stylish makeup. Dramatic eyes, glowing cheeks and full lips, all can be acquired with a touch of stylish makeup on your face. Do you have small eyes, or snub nose? Well, it’s time to make them perfect and beautiful. The right makeup tricks can camouflage even the bluntest portions of your face. A bit of blush on and a tinge of eye shadow can do wonders for your face and make you look like a goddess.

The first thing that we must remember is that the purpose of applying makeup is to hide your facial flaws and highlight the better portions of your face. Use darker shades for the portions of your face that you want to hide and use light colors to highlight the rest. Go for the colors that match your skin tone, face, and age. Perfect makeup should not be loud but blend with your skin tone. So let’s have a look at the top stylish make tips that can make you look not only stylish but also extremely beautiful.

Makeup Tips for Women :
Foundation: The base for your makeup, foundations can make or spoil the look. Choose the one closest to your skin tone and color. Once you’re done with getting the right foundation, go for concealers. Remember it should always be a shade lighter than the color of your foundation. Concealers are meant to cover up the blemishes and scars on your face and so it has to be chosen very carefully for the best effect.

Powder : After the foundation and concealer, go for face powder. Apply face powder suiting your skin tone all over your face. It makes the makeup stay for a longer time. The ones with sunscreen are a must for the afternoons and mornings for sun protection.

Blush on : Use thick and bold brushes for applying blush-ons. Apply the blush from your cheeks to ears in outward motion. Remember, do not use blush ons on your nose, chin or forehead areas. Blend the color evenly on your cheek and make sure there is no excess blush left untouched on your cheeks.

Eyes : Makeup for eyes is the most important part of the entire process. Use light colors for your eyelids and use darker shades of the same color to highlight the crease areas and add depth to your eyes. The eyebrows should be highlighted by applying light colors just below the line of the same. Blend the colors properly to complete the makeup. Apply eyeliner just along the eyelashes and use mascara to complete the look.

Lips color : Lipstick can be applied by using lip brushes. Use lip pencils of the same color that of your lipstick, to line the shape of your lips. Make sure the color of your lipstick matches your outfit. Go for lighter shades in the day time.

Blending the makeup : Once you finish applying the stylish makeup, the important work left is to blend the colors after the application. Brush off the excess colors and blend the rest to get an even look.

Acne Scar Removal

When acne leaves unsightly and even disfiguring scars behind, acne scar removal can make all the difference. Over time, cosmetic surgeons have used various techniques to tackle ugly acne scars and the science of acne scar removal has evolved considerably. In the past, dermabrasion was a preferred method. This entailed removing the scarred topmost layer of the skin via a sanding procedure. Understandably, this procedure was quite painful and doctors often employed local anesthesia while using it on patients. The skin would look raw and be painfully tender for quite a while after dermabrasion, too. New, unscarred skin often took months to grow back after this procedure.

Many doctors used chemical peels to achieve acne scar removal. This procedure was also quite drastic, because it used chemicals that caused the skin to blister and finally peel off. Other procedures included punch replacement grafting and soft tissue filling.

Because of the radical nature of some of these procedures for acne scar removal, the coming of new laser techniques was a very welcome development. With these laser procedures, the doctor retains complete control over the procedure and no blood loss at all occurs. Surgeons now use laser resurfacing to treat many other kinds of skin flaws such as wrinkles and sunburns, too. In fact, modern laser surgery is so precise that surgeons even use them to correct eye defects.

A very popular version of laser-based skin surgery uses the non-ablative laser. In this procedure, the laser does not burn off the affected surface of the skin. Rather, it works beneath its surface, stimulating collagen production and tightening the overall tissue. However, this procedure is not useful in treating acne scars.

In laser-based acne scar removal, the surgeon uses a wand-like laser hand-piece with which he burns off the scarred skin cells. Fresh skin cells then replace the burned-off cells. Because the procedure is so precise, the surgeon can target only the affected skin tissue, leaving unaffected skin alone. He can judge the depth to which the laser penetrates precisely, enabling him to remove the entire affected area of skin. This is very important while performing any kind of surgery on delicate facial skin.

Skin surgeons employ two kinds of lasers for acne scar removal. The first is the Erbium (Er) or erbium:YAG laser. The energy produced by this laser has a very precise wavelength. The laser penetrates the skin and the moisture content in the skin readily absorbs it. The heat produced by this laser then scatters, leaving normal skin unaffected. The second is the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, which is a relatively recent development in skin surgery circles. It emits short bursts of extremely high-energy, highly focused laser light that vaporizes the scarred skin tissue a layer at a time, leaving only fresh skin in its wake. Patients have to conform to certain medical parameters if they wish to undergo this procedure. However, those who qualify benefit from the fact that acne scar removal by the above means entails very low risks of further scarring. Medical complications after laser surgery on acne scars are very rare.

Surgeons who perform laser-based acne scar removal are highly qualified in the field and have considerable artistic ability, too. This is significant, since the surgeon must literally re-craft the affected skin tissue using a very precise instrument.

How To Hold A Manicure And Pedicure Party

Summer means a no-fuss beauty routine. Who wants to spend half an hour putting on their faces when the weather outside is so gorgeous. Summer makeup means tinted moisturizer (skip the foundation) lip gloss and mascara and maybe a bright eyeliner. As for the polished look? Nail polish is the best thing you could use for summer.

When you go swimming, or for water play in your swim suit, your bare feet would look prettier with candy colored toenails. As you talk or rest your head on your hand, flaunt a gorgeous manicure.

That brings us to manicures and pedicures. You need both for summer. Why not make it a pampering session with your pals. Turn it into a manicure and pedicure party. That way, you can practice your nail art on one another.

All you need would be :
  • Basins, each large enough for a pair of feet to soak in
  • Basins, each large enough for a pair of hands
  • Nail polish
  • Base coat
  • Nail polish remover
  • Top coat.
  • Nail clippers
  • Nail brushes
  • Work in pairs so that you can take turns to paint each other's nails.

Fill the basins with warm water. Set up chairs around a table. Put the foot basins below the table at the foot of each chair and the hand basins on the table so everyone can soak their hands and feet in these foot and hand baths. Add a few drops of liquid soap and essential oil into each bath. Have a selection of pure essential oils for everyone to choose from. Lavender, peppermint, grapefruit and geranium would be interesting oils your guests would love.

Remove nail polish with nail polish remover before you soak your hands and feet. Leave the windows and possibly the door open for maximum ventilation when you use the nail polish removers. Trim nails with a nail clipper if necessary.

After soaking your hands for 10 minutes, scrub under the nails with the nail brush. Rinse and towel dry hands. Then paint on the base coat. Followed by 2 coats of nail polish. Then paint on the nail art. Finish off with a top coat. Let each coat dry completely before applying the next.
Move on to the feet. Rinse and dry the feet. Do the base coat, 2 coats of nail color, the nail art and then the top coat, again letting each coat dry completely before putting on the next layer.

Natural Beauty is Healthy Beauty

For years, we have heard that healthy living can help you age well. Living a healthy life will lower your mortality across the entire lifespan, even if there is no impact on aging and age-related changes. It turns out that from the point of view of longevity, your healthy spirit and your healthy mind are equally (if not more) important as your healthy body.

When there are not enough antioxidants to hold peroxidation in check, free radicals begin damaging healthy cells which, in turn, can lead to problems. So eat a healthy and varied diet and be sure to eat some tomatoes, brazil nuts, blueberries, fish, kiwi, and broccoli each week. Poor diet, an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, and toxins in our environment can all dramatically increase the levels of free radicals in our bodies. Antioxidants boost our immunity, make our muscles stronger, and keep our bones and skin healthy.

A healthy skin is determined by our life styles, and also by what we eat and drink. Skin that is healthy can also help you make sure that your entire health is much better as well. In addition to boosting yourself confidence, healthy skin is an indicator of a healthy body. Taking proper care of your skin can do more to enhance your appearance than all the lotions and creams applied to cover up unhealthy skin, it can even help you avoid the rashes and other diseases which necessitate an expensive visit to a dermatologist.

Organic creams provide your skin with external nutrition that keeps it looking healthy and allows you to age gracefully. People who use natural skin care products are less concerned with artificial beauty enhancements, as they feel that natural beauty is healthy beauty. So if you want to have a healthy skin, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, reduce stress, sleep well and eat healthy. Stay away from sodas or drinks with caffeine, which dry the skin, use a humidifier to increase the level of moisture in the air, treat your skin right in the winter months and youll have healthy glowing skin to put on show once summer arrives.

There is strong evidence that one of the adaptations resulting from exercise is a strengthening of the body's antioxidant defenses, particularly the glutathione system, to deal with the increased oxidative stress. Exercise your brain and body through challenging but fun activities that enhance your learning, visualization, creativity and speech. Proper use of nutrition, diet, herbs and supplements to boost your mental powers. Free your brain from stress, depression, downward spiral and negativity around your environment. Provide therapy information about harmful environmental and lifestyle inhibitors that could be preventing your system from reaching its maximum functions. Suggest natural vegan and organic products that truly works in your body system. Thinking about of what you can do about your aging process and discovering ways to maintain and reform your health and beauty is entirely up to you.

Do strength training exercise, especially with the large muscle groups (chest, back, and thigh) at least 3 times a week, 15 minutes each time to increase growth hormone secretion. While regular exercise can enhance our antioxidant defense system, excessive sporadic exercise can increase free radicals in our system. Thus, the "weekend warrior" who is predominantly sedentary during the week but engages in vigorous bouts of exercise during the weekend may be doing more harm than good.

Although regular exercise produces many positive health benefits, it also causes an increased production of free radicals. Free radicals are formed both during normal metabolism, and whenever the body is exposed to stresses such as pollutants in the air (cigarette smoke), food (Trans-fats), water (heavy metals), and even excessive exercise. Indeed, intense or prolonged exercise can cause radical-mediated injury to skeletal muscles, particularly in untrained individuals. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is strong interest in the effects of antioxidant supplements on exercise performance.

But when used properly, in combination with eating a healthy diet full of fruit and vegetables, getting plenty of exercise and not smoking, antioxidant supplements can play an important role in maintaining and promoting overall health. Taking antioxidants such as vitamins C and E or beta-carotene, probably also improve recovery after exhaustive exercise.

Remember antiaging is a combination of several different antiaging treatments that should be balanced together to help keep your whole body healthy. You should consult with a healthcare professional before starting any diet, exercise or supplementation program, before taking any medication, or if you have or suspect you might have a health problem.

Best Makeup for Oily Skin

Every girl dreams for that perfect skin for every season, but not all of us have such luck. Finding the best makeup for oily skin is a struggle, most of us go through in order to look our best. Checking for oil-free products, stocking up on blotting paper, and worrying about getting pimples can be so tiring, at times. But one good news for people having oily skin is that it doesn't show early signs of skin aging. On that good note, why not look for the best makeup for oily skin!

Oily skin is nothing but excess oil produced by the sebaceous glands, which cause the skin to have large pores, acne, whiteheads and blackheads, oily appearance, and dullness. The skin tends to be shiny, thick, and has embarrassing blemishes. The oils tend to ooze out from the enlarged pores. The causes of oily skin can be heredity, hormone levels, pregnancy, humidity or hot weather, birth control pills, or certain cosmetics.

What is the Best Makeup for Oily Skin?

Before finding the best face makeup for oily skin, let's see how you can take some easy home remedies to get that beautiful skin. It's important to drink at least 8 glasses of pure water per day. This helps keep the skin hydrated and will make it shine less. Use of cucumber juice or witch hazel on face maintains the pH levels of skin. Use water-based foundations and blotting paper for oily skin care.

Best Foundation Makeup for Oily Skin
There are cosmetic companies that make skin-tone specific foundations. Make sure to get a high-quality foundation makeup for oily skin that doesn't aggravate or clog your pores, and evens out the appearance of your skin. Here are some tips that will help you pick the best foundation makeup for oily skin.

Foundation sticks
Always buy foundation that is one tone lighter than your skin tone. This will give a natural look to your makeup. Foundation sticks cover up the blotchy look and can hold for long hours.

Mineral foundation
Don't use mineral foundations during winters. This season is generally dry and the mineral foundation will make your skin look dry and oily at certain areas. Liquid foundations with mineral powder can be one way to escape from such issues. The foundation should be 100% pure minerals. Here's some more information about mineral makeup for oily skin.

Foundation powder
Instead of using a liquid foundation, powder foundations are much more effective. They stay in place and absorb excess oils from the skin.

Foundation with SPF
If you choose to go with any liquid foundations, check the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) on the label. The number indicates how many hours the SPF lasts. There are many foundations with SPF 15 and SPF 30 available in the market. That is a big bonus for foundations because it provides maximum coverage for your skin. Choose which works best for oily skin tone.

Check for full-coverage matte foundations, rather than light or medium coverage foundations which won't be long lasting for oily skin. Check the ingredients on the foundations that says "For oily skin". Don't use your fingers to apply the foundation, only use a make-up sponge. This will prevent from spreading more oil onto your face.

Tips to Select the Best Makeup for Oily Skin
  • Buy foundations that contain titanium dioxide, a natural sun protector.
  • Avoid products that have alcohol in them, especially SD40.
  • Kaolin clay used in foundations will prevent excess oil formation on your face.
  • Zinc oxide foundation is the best makeup for acne-prone skin, as it is anti-inflammatory.
  • To get the best makeup for oily skin, make sure it contains sericite, which reduces the appearance of large pores and helps to absorb excess oil.
Make sure to talk to a dermatologist, before starting any skin regimen or selecting the best makeup for oily acne prone skin. Accutane or topical retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A, that have been proven to lessen the amount of oil the skin produces. Read more on acne control.

At-Home Remedies for Oily Skin Care
  • Cleanse your face daily with cleansing milk, at least twice a day.
  • Moisturize with an oil-free lotion that contains SPF 15.
  • Use blotting paper to absorb excess oils. You can also use it, while you have makeup on.
  • If you must use a soap to wash your face, use sulfur soap.
  • Avoid eating too much oily foods.
  • A diet rich in proteins, plenty of green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits.
  • Knowing how to take care of your skin and which products to use will not only be beneficial for now, but also in the long run. Use as little foundation makeup for oily skin as possible, it will last longer and won't look heavy as if it's caked on. Only you can decide which is the best makeup for oily skin and implement it into your daily routine.

10 easy ideas to look sexy with romantic makeup

Here, 10 easy ideas for a sexy, smoochable look:

1. Play down dark circles. Begin with concealer. Pat a tiny bit around dark circles and use your finger to gently blend.

2. Forget full-face makeup. From far away, skin covered in foundation looks even and flawless. But up close, it just looks like skin covered in makeup -- very unromantic. Forgo base tonight and apply a dusting of translucent powder instead.

3. Think sparkle for eyes. Matte shadows are great for day, but come a romantic evening, you need more oomph. That's where a shimmery shadow comes in. Apply a cream, lemon, pink, or peach shimmer shadow from lashlines to browbones.

4. Go light on liner. Unless you're craving a super-smoky eye, skip the kohl and try a cleaner look: A thin line of dark brown or charcoal liner along top and bottom lashes. Use a stiff liner brush to apply powder shadow as liner.

5. Contour carefully. To add more depth to your eye area, use a tapered brush to apply a taupe or amethyst shadow in the crease of your eye. Sweep from inner corner to outer corner and back again, following the natural arc of your crease.

6. Curl lashes. They'll make your eyes look wide and flirtatious.

7. Apply two coats of black mascara. The trick to getting multiple coats right: Allow the first coat to dry, comb through with an eyelash comb, then apply a second coat.

8. Go for sexy flush. Rosy cheeks are the hallmark of a romantic look. Apply a bright pink or peach blush to the apples of your cheeks. Dip a fluffy brush into powdered color, then lightly blow off excess before you apply.

9. Add some shimmer. To highlight your cheekbones, dot on a bit of liquid or powder shimmer. Then blend outward and upward.

10. Top off your lips. Skip heavy, leaves-marks-on-everything lipstick, and go for a lighter shimmery gloss in baby pink, clear berry, or apricot. Apply in two coats for more staying power (and keep in your bag for ladies'-room touchups! ).

You can achieve a lovely wedding look with the following makeup tips

Even if you don't use makeup on an every day basis, you should consider using some color on your wedding day. Not only will you be the center of attention on your wedding day, but you'll also be in photographs and you'll want to look your best. On the other hand, because it's so important to feel and look beautiful for your wedding, you shouldn't use heavy makeup that makes you look like someone else. Aim for a soft, romantic look and you'll fit the part of the perfect blushing bride.

Whether you regularly use makeup or not, you can achieve a lovely wedding look with the following makeup tips:

Face
The first step of making up your face consists of concealer, foundation and powder. Your foundation will go on your entire face, then you'll use concealer to cover up any blemishes or under-eye circles and you'll follow with a sweep of powder. Make sure you use a concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin tone and make sure your foundation and powder match your skin tone exactly.

For the softest look, use a mineral based foundation and concealer (like Bare Minerals or Neutrogena Mineral Sheers.) Mineral based foundations eliminate the powder step and will help to absorb any excess oil your skin may emit while you're enjoying your wedding day. Mineral based foundation is very popular and you'll find it in many drugstore and department store makeup lines.

For brides with naturally flawless skin, base is probably the makeup step that they usually skip. On your wedding day, no matter what, you have to use a base. Otherwise, your face will appear shiny and uneven in photographs.

Cheeks
Blush comes in gel, powder and even liquid forms. For your wedding day beauty, you should use a powder blush because it will be the easiest to blend. Blush also comes in mineral based forms, and if you use a mineral based foundation, it would be wise to use a mineral based blush.

Blush should go on the apples of your cheeks, so when you apply it, smile and brush the blush on the apples of your cheeks and then blend upward and slightly downward until it is properly blended.

If you don't usually use blush, you may be inclined to use a tiny amount on your wedding day. Though you shouldn't go overboard, you should use a tad more blush than you would use on a normal day, slightly rosy cheeks will give you a romantic glow at your wedding and in your wedding photographs.

Eyes
For your eye makeup, you should first prep your eyelids with a small touch of foundation - this will help your eye makeup stay put during all of your wedding festivities. Next, make sure your eyebrows are tidy by plucking any errant hairs and filling in any spaces with a light brow pencil.

Choose a tri-color makeup palette with soft shades that will compliment your eye color. Blue and green eyes look great with shades of brown and brown or hazel eyes work well with rosy shades. Highlight your browbone with the lightest color in the palette, sweep the darkest color into the crease of your eye and then apply the medium color to your eyelid until it reaches the crease.

Line your eyes with a dark brown or black pencil all along the rim of your top eyelid and then from the middle of your bottom eye out to the edge of your eye. Make sure your pencil is very sharp and you'll be able to get a thinner line. Add dark brown or black waterproof mascara (in case you have some waterworks while saying your wedding vows) on your upper lashes.

Lips
Prep your lips by lining them with the same color as your lipstick and then use your finger to blend the line towards the opening of your mouth. Fill out your lips with a peach or pink shade and add a touch of lip gloss to the center of your lower lip. This will help you to have natural looking pouty lips.

Using soft makeup, you'll look beautiful on your wedding day without straying far from your natural look. With these tips and with your natural assets, you can let your true beauty shine through on your wedding day.
