Homemade Rosy Gloss

Gather your ingredients. This pretty lip gloss requires ingredients you can find at most health food stores. Gather up the following supplies:
1 tablespoon Shea butter
2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
1 tablespoon chopped beeswax
5 drops vitamin E oil
An old tube of lipstick in the color of your choice
Get your containers ready. Set out your lip gloss pots or tubes to ready them for pouring.
Melt the beeswax in a double boiler. Place it in the top part of a double boiler and simmer the wax until it melts entirely. Stir it until it's nice and smooth.
Add the shea butter, almond oil and vitamin E oil. Stir the ingredients with the wax until your mixture is smooth and glossy.
Use a toothpick to break off a piece of lipstick into the pot. Stirring in a small chunk of lipstick in any color you like will tint the gloss a lighter version of the same hue. Stir the lipstick well until it's completely combined with the gloss ingredients.
For darker lip gloss, add the entire stick of lipstick and stir well.
Add 5 few drops of rose extract or another scent if you'd like.
Pour the lip gloss into containers. Wash the pot right away so it doesn't end up permanently caked in gloss.
Let the lip gloss set. It's ready to use after 2 hours or overnight, once it has completely cooled.
Make sure you put your lip balm/gloss in a clean container.
Containers: You can usually find some nice tins or pots at the dollar store. At craft stores, you can sometimes find twist-up 'lipstick-like' containers.
Flavorings: You can purchase flavoring and scents for lip gloss from any good craft store; beeswax can also be purchased at the craft store or a health food store. At the grocery store you can pick up the sunflower oil and flavorings such as mint extract.

Way to Groom your EyeBrows

FIND YOUR PERFECT BROW SHAPE

Not sure where your brows should start and end? Rach's buddy Gretta has a trick. Just find a chopstick or pencil and get started.

1. Place the chopstick vertically along the nose until it meets the eyebrow. Tweeze anything that falls before this line.

2. To find the arch, slant the chopstick upward from the outer edge of your iris.

3. Slant the chopstick just beyond the outer corner of the eye.

BROW FIXES

See how Gretta tackles these common brow blunders.

1. BUSHY

The Plan

Trim and shape hairs while lengthening the brow. Use a brow pencil to fortify and extend brows at ends.

The Tools

Eyebrow pencil, eyebrow brush, mini scissors and slanted tweezer

How to Groom

1. Brush all hairs upward with an eyebrow grooming brush or dry toothbrush, then use tiny scissors to trim any tips that stick out.

2. Using a slanted tweezer, pluck strays from beneath your brow to help elongate and slim the face. Grab hairs at the base to avoid painful tugging. Follow the natural curve of your eyebrow.

3. Sharpen the shape: Your eyebrow should arch at a spot above the outer edge of your iris. Carefully remove only the stray hairs below the peak -- never dig into its middle.

2. OVERPLUCKED

The Plan

Fill in overplucked areas. Focus on the uppermost part of brows to create a natural eye-lift effect.

The Tools

Eyebrow stencil, eyebrow pencil and mini scissors

How to Groom

1. Use an eyebrow stencil -- the Anastasia Brow Express kit ($38, anastasia .net) comes with four options -- to shape an arch with a brow pencil or powder, applying color in small, upward strokes. Press lightly to avoid a drawn-on look, and keep stepping back from the mirror to check your work.

2. Superskinny brows may still have areas to trim. Cut the spiky innermost part of the brow (closest to the nose) to make an even line. Keep up with this technique while growing brows out, too.

3. BARELY THERE

The Plan Deepen sparse or light-colored brows to frame the face.

The Tools

Angled brush, eyebrow powder and eyebrow gel

How to Groom

1. For a natural look that doesn't seem drawn on, dip an angled brush -- it helps with precision -- in a powder shade that closely matches your hair color (for superlight hair, you can go one shade darker). Apply it over the existing hairs to better define brows, then continue to fill in any gaps in the shape.

2. Highlight your work with a clear brow gel or cream.

With tight schedule and even with tighter budget, regular visit to dermatologist for the skin care is not possible for everybody which is why makeup is best alternative to hide the skin imperfections. Makeup is used to highlight the natural features. There is difference in makeup according to your outfit, event and time. I must suggest you some tips so that you can look beautiful and gorgeous for any event in little time.

In effort to trying hide the blemishes from imperfections from skin women usually use foundations and concealer. While combination of these two things help you make to look pretty good. For more smooth and flawless looking skin use a premier before applying foundation.

What premiers do is actually act as a base that ensures longer lasting foundation and makeup. Premier hides the signs of imperfection such as blotching and acne scars even better. The best makeup premier protects your skin by keeping it smooth and moisturized even with regular use of makeup. 

Are you tired of your foundation looking cakey and unnatural? To get fresh faced, smooth and flawless effect of foundation, put foundation all over your face and wipe it off your cheeks with the help of tissue. This thing makes it easy to layer your blush on without looking fake. Along with face don’t forget to apply premier and foundation on your neck. It will make your skin to glow naturally.

Eye makeup mostly includes liner, mascara, kajol and eye shadow and other things. These makeup products are used to enhance the eyes making it smaller or larger. Apply concealer under your eyes to hide dark circles. Make sure to use a concealer that is lighter in shade than your foundation.

To create stylish look, try a shimmery shade on your eyes. If your complexion is fair then try a silver white shade. For medium to dark skin tone opt for a champagne color instead. To get an extra bright eye effect, apply eye shades of your choice on the corners of your eyes. To give depth to your eyes use bronze and gold cream shadow. Smudge it nicely while avoiding brow bone.

Use waterproof eye liner and mascara. For attention grabbing makeup, bold eyebrows are must. Use a soft slightly waxy brow pencil to shape the brow. Finish by blending a shimmery highlighter on brow bone to add brightness and lift.

How To Make Your Hairs Long And Healthy

You want to know how to make your hair long and healthy? There is no formula introduced that make your hair long in one day. However there are many ways to stimulate your hair growth in a healthy way. I formulated a guide for you that will make your hair long and healthy.

1. First of all follow a healthy life style if you want to get healthy and long hair. You should aim to eat plenty of food that is enriched in protein and vitamins. Be sure to add vitamin C and vitamin B in particular. Adding multi-vitamins make your hair look healthy and strong.

You need to eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Health is an important factor in hair growth. People who are suffering from vitamin deficiencies and unhealthy diets can suffer from dry and brittle hair. Drink plenty of water to have healthy hair.

2. In order to have healthy and long hair it is necessary to trim hair after every one month. In this way you can get rid of split ends. Doing this make your hairs appear much healthier. Trim means to cut hair ¼ or ½ inches and nothing more.

3. Oiling is also best way to get healthy and long hair. Use olive oil or coconut oil one hour ago before going to take a bath. Oiling stimulates the blood circulation which results in hair growth.

4. Choose shampoo and conditioner according to your hair type. There is shampoo and conditioner yet introduced who claim to accelerate hair growth in minimum time unless it is prescribed by physician or hair expert.

5. When you shampoo your hair you should manipulate your hair vigorously. It is important that your scalp should be clean for hair growth. Massage your scalp for about two to five minutes while applying shampoo or conditioner to your hair.

Stimulating blood circulation through massage is the best proven way to accelerate the hair growth. Brushing also stimulate the blood circulation but make sure to use brush with soft bristles and don’t use brush so often. After taking a bath don’t use towel to dry your hair. Instead use a paper towel to dry them. 

6. Use a comb with wide and soft bristles. If you use hair brush then you must replace it by comb having wide bristles. It can prevent hair breakage. Do remember to not brush your hair when they are wet. When hairs are wet they are more elastic and easily cause breakage. Brush your hair through your fingers or wide toothed comb.  Don’t tie your hair when they are wet. Otherwise it can lead to breakage.

7. Don’t wash your hair every day. Daily shampoo or conditioning remove necessary natural oils from scalp and reduce elasticity which cause hair breakage and also make your hair dry and frizzy. Consider washing your hair every other day instead.   

8. Stay away from blow dryers and flat iron. If necessary then minimize the use of heat styling. Heat damage hair and can lead to hair loss also. Also minimize the use of chemical treatments like perming, dying and lightening your hair. 

9. Growing out hair is a long process. By following abovementioned steps you can have the length you desire in no time.

Best Makeup For Fair Skin Tones

Having fair skin tone can be both blessing and curse. Your fair skin is a blessing if you know how to carry yourself by using appropriate makeup. But if you are wearing wrong makeup that completely washes you out can be a serious issue. It is difficult to find perfect makeup for fair skin type.
Women having fair complexion have to face many challenges when it comes to choosing and applying makeup. Wrong shades can look harsh. I would suggest you some basic tips regarding your makeup that will make you even more beautiful. Makeup should look natural and enhance women’s natural beauty.
Fair skin does not require heavy foundation. Choosing a foundation that looks natural is a challenge in deed. It may take several tries to select appropriate foundation for you. It is fact that correct shade of foundation is paramount for fair skinned ladies. Choose light concealer to hide your blemishes or dark spots that matches you skin tone. Blend foundation and concealer well to avoid harsh and noticeable lines on your face and neck.
Apply light dust of matte powder that is better than foundation. Many of the foundations have orange tint that shows most on light skin tone. Powder absorbs sweat and it actually looks natural because it is completely absorbed in your skin. For fair skin complexion, natural makeup is best as it enhances your beauty. So by using minimal amount of makeup, fair skinned women can highlight their best features and downplay any imperfection.
For alabaster complexion, rose pink, tawny and beige tones work best. Apply soft pink shade of blush on the apples (cheekbones) of your skin to find them just smile. It will make your cheeks pop. Peachy or rose colored blush looks most natural on fair skin tone. Do remember that light skin requires blush.
You can also use highlighter to your cheekbones exactly under your eyebrows and in the corner of your eyes. Use gel formulas or shimmery powder to add an ethereal highlight to your cheeks. Avoid harsh and darker shades and look for just light pink, coral and peach to give your skin just the right amount of glow.
Earth tone eye shadow work best on fair complexion. It perfectly highlights the light eyes of fair skinned women while looking natural and subtle. Make sure your eye brows are freshly plucked. You can also apply silver or golden shade just above eye liner for evening parties. You should avoid blues, aqua, dark green, pastels, white, orange, yellow and black.
Wearing mascara is a must. Apply brown or black mascara. To make your eye lashes look longer, line your bottom lashes with white mascara. You can also use fake eyelashes to have glamorous look.
To give a final touch let’s come towards lips. Apply lip gloss of soft pink shade. Without a lipstick your makeup would be incomplete. Pink shades re feminine friendly and adds warmth and special effect on your skin. If you like to wear dark shades then red will make you look stunning that goes perfectly with fair skin tone.

To have great long hair means a big responsibility. If you want to have gorgeous long hair, here are five secrets that will help you in getting gorgeous long hair.

1. Proper diet

To have gorgeous long hair, only external care is not necessary. Intake of necessary vitamins and proteins is vital that contributes a lot in making your hair long and healthy. If your intake of protein is limited then you can’t have gorgeous long hair.

It is essential to add protein and vitamin in your daily routine. You can intake protein in the form of egg, meat particularly as red meat and chicken. If you are vegetarian, protein can also be found in beans and lentils.

2. Massage on scalp

Massaging is very important if you want to have long hair. When you massage your scalp you will feel a tingling sensation. This will increase circulation and blood flow to your follicles and boost growth of your hair. When you apply shampoo on your hair, massage at least for thirty minutes. It is often suggested by experts to brush hair every night.

The truth behind this fact is that when bristles of brush come in contact with your scalp, they stimulate blood flow which leads to growth of your hair. But this all depends only on bristles. Natural bristles are gentler than damaging metal and other synthetic version.

This soft and natural bristles will prevent your hair from breaking and splitting. Lavender oil can be apply to scalp for massaging as it is said to be very effective in promoting hair growth.

3. Wash less and use quality products

Go for more natural products. Always avoid the hair products that have excessive chemicals like silicon. Use silicon free shampoo. Never compromise your hair health. Always use best quality shampoo or conditioner that suits your hair.

Wash your hair too often strips off the natural oils that are essential for keeping hair strong and healthy. Stripping off natural essential oils from hair can lead to dryness and frizz. Only wash your hair every few days and use dry shampoo in between washes.
