Ready to learn some makeup application tips?

Makeup’s job isn’t to cover up your face, but to enhance your best features. A major plus is that you can also use it to down play features you don’t like as much.

The truth is that no one can teach you exactly how to apply your makeup in the way that you’ll like the most. If you keep at it you’ll develop skills over time and become your own makeup master. After all; who knows your face better than you do?

Let’s look at the makeup basics for beginners that you should know.

Makeup Must Haves

These are some of the makeup items you’ll need to get the look you want.

Foundation

Lip Gloss

makeup-powder

concealer

eyeliner

eyeshadow

mascara

cheek-color (Blush)

lip-liner

bronzer

eyelashes

contour

These are the must-haves for your everyday face and for those times when you want to put a makeup look together that has serious star power!

Makeup Quality Vs. Price

One of the most important tips I can give you is that when it comes to choosing makeup, always look for high quality. Don’t assume that if it’s expensive this is automatically true.

There’s lot of great makeup you can get for a reasonable price. The secret is to keep trying new makeup until you find things that work for you and that fit your budget. Never be afraid to ask for testers and samples. Try them, love them then buy them!

Makeup Application Tips On Color Selection

makeup-color-palette When you’re selecting makeup colors for black skin it’s important to get it right. You don’t want to be walking around looking like an extra from MJ’s ‘Thriller’ video! Just say no to foundation that’s too light, too dark and worst of all ashy.

Black skin has more natural pigment than any other race. That means we have to be extra careful and choose colors that compliment rather than clash!

It’s pretty simple to figure out the general family of colors you should lean towards when selecting your make up.

Your skin tone will generally fall under one of two categories. Here’s how you can know for sure which it is.

Take a long hard look at your skin and figure out whether you have red (warm) undertones or yellow (cool) undertones.

Ask yourself which color metal compliments your skin tone more; gold or silver? If it’s gold then your skin tone is warm and if it’s silver your skin tone is cool.

If you’re one of the few people who don’t predominantly have one of these two undertones and have a cross between the two you have to strike a balance of both types of makeup color groups.

Have Fun With Colors!

Once you get your concealer, foundation and powder on point, feel free to live it up and get really creative with your eye and lip colors.

Your cheek color and bronzer will generally be one or two that suit your skin and will go with everything else you choose.

Even when you get the colors right you can still go overboard if you try to put on too much at once.

The rule is to choose one feature at a time to glam up. If you want to get bold with your eyes, keep the lips neutral and if you’re going with a strong lip color keep the eyes light and fresh.

Keep these makeup application tips in mind and you’ll always choose the right colors to put you best face forward.

Makeup Application Tips Dos and Don’ts

There are lots of dos and don’ts that you should keep in mind when you’re applying your makeup. Let’s look at a short list of the most important ones.

Do

Do play up your best features! Long eyelashes are to beautiful eyes what short skirts are to great legs.

Do use a light hand. Remember you can always add more makeup if you need it.

Do blend! There should be no “stripes” on your face. You’re a lady, not a quarterback.

Do adjust the amount of make up to the time of day. Less for day, more for night.

Do use clean tools to do the job. Nothing is worse than using a dirty brush on a clean face.

Do cover your clothes with a towel/cape before full makeup. You don’t want to get messed up.

Do practice and try new things. That’s how you get better!

Don’t

Don’t go overboard. No need to wear layer upon layer of makeup. Clowns are cute but only at the circus!

Don’t focus on more than one feature at a time. Going for a strong lip? Then go easy on the eyes and vice versa too.

Don’t think that makeup will hide all your problems. If you have skin issues like acne, work on clearing it up before you wear makeup regularly.

Don’t fall into the trend trap. Just because you saw it in a beauty and style magazine doesn’t make it right for you!

Don’t wear what you don’t love. Don’t let the lady at the beauty counter convince you that you look great when you think you look like a “hot mess”.

Learning good makeup application tips isn’t hard. It’s 20% skill and 80% practice. As long as you stay far away from the no-no’s you’ll be fine! If you’re not satisfied with your work, just wash your face and start over! 

Healthy Hair Tips For Black Women

Healthy Hair Care Tips

Here are the top 7 healthy hair tips for black women that form the basis of what makes yours healthy and beautiful.

1. Wash your hair once every 3-4 days - Water is the only thing that can truly moisturize your hair. Try not to go longer than a week without at least a conditioner rinse.
   
2. Deep condition your hair regularly - A thick crème based conditioner, hooded dryer and plastic cap = magic. These things are your best friends when you realize what they do for your hair.
   
3. Use protein conditioner at least once a month - Strong hair is healthy hair. Infusing protein is a must no matter what condition your hair is in. Balance moisture and protein so your hair doesn't get brittle and dry. A good ratio is 4-6 moisturizing treatments to 1 protein treatment.
   
4. Take care of your scalp - Hot oil treatments every 2-4 weeks ensure a healthy nourished scalp. Organic castor oil stimulates hair growth and a few drops of tea tree oil keeps flakes away.
   
   5. Moisturize your ends daily - Sealing your ends keeps them from drying out and splitting. Healthy ends are the key to accumulating length.
      
   6. Wear protective styles often - Protective styling keeps your hair shielded from drying air and over manipulation.
      
   7. Trim your hair when it needs it - Having a set trimming schedule isn't necessary. Clip your ends when they need it and leave them alone if they don't.
   
   I guarantee these healthy hair tips for black women will give you results if you put them to work. Take it a step further and use these tips to custom design your own healthy hair regimen.
   
   

   How To Find The Right Eyebrow Shape

   Here are some step by step tips for finding the right eyebrow shape.
5. Use a straight edged object (a pencil or orange stick works well) and hold it vertically along the side of your nose so it reaches up to where your eyebrow starts (A). The place where the pencil meets your eyebrow is where it should naturally start.
6. Use the pencil again, look straight ahead and line up the pencil with the center of your pupil. The place where the pencil meets your eyebrow is where your arch should naturally start (B).
7. Hold the pencil at a diagonal from the outer corner of your eye to the corner of your nose so it extends up over your eyebrow. The place where the pencil meets your eyebrow is where your brow should end naturally (C).
8. Repeat the steps for your other eye

WEDDING THINGS

Thinking Of Writing Your Own Ceremony Vows? Read This First.

Writing your own vows won't be easy, but it will be totally worth it when you're up at that altar. Ready to get to work? Just take it one word at a time.

Photo by Justin & Mary

Step 1. Read dozens of vow examples for inspiration.

Start by reading traditional, by-the-book vows -- from your own religion, if you practice a certain faith, and others, as well -- to see what strikes a chord with you. You can incorporate these into the original words you write, or just use them as a jumping-off point for your personalized vows. Once you've found a few you love, consider what it is about the style that draws you to those vows in particular.

Step 2. Agree on format and tone with your fiance.

Decide how you want your vows to come across. Will they be humorous? Poetic and romantic? Go over the logistics too. Will you write them separately or together? Will they be completely different or will you make the same promises to each other, as you would with traditional vows? Some couples do a little of each. Finally, will you share them with each other or keep them a secret until the wedding day?

Step 3. Jot down notes about your relationship.

Take some time to reflect on your fiancé. Think about how you felt when you first met, what made you fall in love and when you knew you wanted to get married. Write it all out. Here are some questions to get you started:

• Why did you decide to get married?
• What hard times have you gone through together?
• What have you supported each other through?
• What challenges do you envision in your future?
• What do you want to accomplish together?
• What makes your relationship tick?
• What did you think when you first saw your fiance?
• When did you realize you were in love?
• What do you most respect about your partner?
• How has your life gotten better since meeting your mate?
• What about them inspires you?
• What do you miss most about them when you're apart?
• What qualities do you most admire in each other?

Step 4. Come up with one or two, or many, promises.

They're called vows for a reason, so the promises are the most important part! A tip: "Include promises that are broad in scope, such as 'I promise to always support you,' as well as very specific to the two of you, like 'I promise to say "I love you" every night before bed,'" says wedding celebrant Christopher Shelley.

Step 5. Write it all out.

Now that you have notes, it's time to establish a structure and write your first draft. Speechwriting expert Robert Lehrman suggests a four-part outline: Affirm your love, praise your partner, offer promises and close with a final vow. Another way to organize it is to start with a short story and then come back to it at the end.

Step 6. Banish clichés.

Now that you have your first draft, it's time to make edits. Borrow from poetry, books, religious and spiritual texts, even from romantic movies, but don't let someone else's words overpower your own. You want your vows to sound like you and relate to your relationship, and that won't happen if every word is borrowed from other sources. And if you find yourself relying on cliché phrases (you know, those sayings that have been used over and over so many times they no longer sound genuine) to get your point across, Shelley suggests coming up with a specific example from your relationship that has a similar message. For example, instead of saying, "Love is blind," you might say, "I think you're just as beautiful today as you are in a T-shirt and jeans."

Step 7. Take out anything too cryptic or embarrassing.

You've invited your family and friends to witness your vows in order to make your bond public, so be sure everyone feels included in the moment. That means putting a limit on inside jokes, deeply personal anecdotes and obscure nicknames or code words. Wedding celebrant and author Maureen Pollinger suggests, "Think about how your vows will sound to you 10 years from now." Have a friend or family member read it over ahead of time for feedback, if you're okay with sharing your vows beforehand.

Step 8. Shorten your vows to one to two minutes, max.

Your vows are important, but that doesn't mean they should drag on. "When someone says something in a very meaningful way, you don't have to say it over and over," Pollinger says. Pick the most important points and make them. If yours are running longer than two minutes, do an edit. Put some of the more personal thoughts in a letter or gift to your fiance on the morning of your wedding and save any guest-related topics for your toasts.

Step 9. Practice out loud (seriously!).

It might sound weird, but this really is the best way to prep. "When you practice, don't just do the same thing over and over. Listen each time – then do it better," Lehrman says. Your vows should be easy to say and sound conversational. As you recite them, listen for any tongue twisters and super-long sentences, then cut them. This is also the time to practice the delivery. "Stand straight, look at your spouse and use your hands expressively – but only use small gestures," Lehrman says.

Step 10. Make a clean copy for yourself.

The paper you read from should be legible, so even if you're working on it right up until a few moments before your ceremony, use a fresh piece of paper free of cross-outs, arrows and notes. And give some thought to the presentation too, because "it will end up in the photos," says Annie Lee, wedding planner and founder of Daughter of Design. "I suggest a nice note card that matches the wedding colors or a little notebook or pad. You can handwrite it or cut and paste the computer print to fit within that." And it also makes nice keepsake hang in your home later on. Have a backup plan too. Pollinger points out that some couples find themselves too emotional to speak (it happens!), so have your officiant either prompt you by quietly saying the vows first or read the vows on your behalf.

If anything creates problems in planning a wedding, it is money.
To side step problems, you need to do a lot of communicating with your partner and both parents. Forget the archaic rule that says certain people have to pay for certain things. The bride’s parents don’t need to get a loan to pay for the wedding, and the groom’s parents are not off the hook either.
Besides, the both of you might be covering a good chunk of the expenses yourselves. The best way to sort it out is to sit down with paper, pen and calculator and figure out what you really want/and can afford.

As an expert, here are ‘insider’ tips to help you avoid those little known financial pitfalls and stick to your naija wedding budget.
1. Cut the Guest list: This will slash your catering costs and save on invitations and even the number of centerpieces to be used on tables
2. Hold your engagement/reception in one day: It will cut down cost by vendors/service providers
3. Have bigger/merge tables so you need fewer table cloths and centerpieces.
4. Use less expensive centerpieces like gels, colored water, long stems and so on. Keep it simple.
5. Use a DJ instead of a Live band who will play good songs for both young/old.
6. Hire a wedding coordinator to handle D-day coordination of event and service providers.
7. Make use of your cousins or relatives as hostesses/ushers to help in coordinating activities for the day

Wedding Makeup Ideas - Bridal Makeup Tips For A Glowing Fresh-Faced Look on your Wedding Day

You want to look your best on your wedding day and the wedding makeup ideas shared in this article will help you achieve exactly that.
There are a few very good reasons to take your wedding makeup look seriously.

• Your wedding is likely going to be best day of your life.


• Take the breath of your groom away when he looks at you as you walk down the aisle to him.


• Look your very best for the camera as those pictures will last a life time

There are a few things that make up your wedding look and they are:

• The wedding dress


• The wedding makeover - Face makeup, nails, head-tie or hairstyle and accessories (headpiece, veil, earrings, necklace).


• The wedding shoes


• The bridal makeup ideas in this article are for your face makeup and manicures. Usually the person who does the makeup does the nails too. And then for your body, mind and spirit. After all beauty they say starts from within.

Wedding Makeup Ideas - Bridal Makeup Tips

For a glowing fresh-faced look on your wedding day you'll need to do more than just sit down on the morning of your wedding day for a makeup artist to work on your face. For the perfect wedding day look do the following.
Start planning early
Start your skin and nail care plan early. Say 6 weeks before the wedding day.
Hire a makeup artist
Decide on who to do your makeup for you. Before you make that decision look at bridal makeup looks photos and start talking to makeup artists whose work impresses you.
If you have a friend or family member that's good with applying wedding makeup and you want to use him or her then make sure he or she will take it seriously. Have him or her do some makeup trials on you before you finally decide.
Decide on a makeup look
Have your makeup trial 1-2 months before the wedding. Go with one or two friends/family members/bridesmaids so that you'll have a second opinion of the look.
When going for your makeup trial, so your makeup artist knows where to start from, go with pictures of makeup looks that appeals to you. You can get that either from magazines or on the Internet. You'll likely find some that speak to you from our bridal makeup looks photos gallery.
Choosing makeup colors
Your wedding makeup colors should compliment your wedding dress and bouquet colors. Same thing for your bridesmaids makeup. It should compliment their dress and bouquet colors.
Choosing a makeup style
Your wedding makeup style should depend on two things:

• Your preference
• The time the wedding will hold

You want your wedding look to really stand out from your everyday makeup look. However you still want to be yourself. How have you always liked your makeup? Loud or mild? And what does your groom think of makeup in general? For example I had an ex who always said to me when I wore makeup that he'll rather I don't wear makeup that he loves my face just as it is. Now if you're marrying someone like that you want to be considerate to his feelings about makeup. That is insist your artist keep your makeup as natural as possible but that still gives you that radiant look.
The time of the wedding is also important to consider. Will it hold in the day time as is often the case with Nigerian weddings or will it hold in the evening?
If it will hold in the day time, then do your makeup trial during the day. Or if it's in the evening do your makeup trial in the evening. It will allow you a better judgment of what look will be best for you.
If you're having you wedding in the morning/afternoon, a lighter more natural look will suit you better. And if it's in the evening then go for a bit dramatic look.
