TWEEZE YOUR BROWS

Which Tweezer?
Thin Tip: Good for grasping small, fine hairs, and plucking ingrown hair. Slanted Tip: Gives maximum control. Square Tip: Best used for removing coarse hairs or several hairs at a time.
1. Tweeze immediately after showering or apply a hot washcloth to loosen hair follicles. 2.Hold a pencil vertically along the side of the nose. Eyebrow should start at outside edge if pencil -
Anastasia Soare eyebrow queen. Hint: Leaving a bit more space will widen close-set eyes. 3.Hold pencil to outside of eye. This is where the eyebrow of a bombshell should end. 4.Smooth brows with a little moisturizer to help hairs slide out - turn back the clock. 5.Brush brows up to find a natural arch. 6. Draw in the desired shape beforehand with a soft eye shadow pencil - Keira Knightley smokey eyes. Hint: Don't use an eyeliner pencil. It will cause you to pluck too much. 7.Tweeze under the brow first, plucking in the direction of the growth. Hint: If your plucking becomes too painful, apply a little anbesol (yes, that pain reliever for teeth also numbs the brows) 8.Using an eyelash comb, comb brows upwards and trim any hairs that extend beyond the natural top or brow bone. Glamorous lashes. 9.After tweezing, soothe the area with cool, wet tea bags.

mac review

Hey, it's completely all right if you don't have perfect skin because personally, I don't. Especially on days when I feel so out of my body because I lack sleep resulting from my insomnia and my skin decides to dull, this is a wonder. I've heard rants and raves about MAC foundations and that it highly congests the skin bu...t yet my hyper sensitive skin made a pact with it. I've used this product since I was about fifteen and it hasn't contributed to my skin issues I had with different skincare lines and other cosmetics. It's a smooth powder foundation combination so there isn't a need to multiply the number of steps for this deal. The sponge can be used on the go but it looks so amazingly flawless when used with a large powder or kabuki brush and buffed in circular motion into the skin. Almost seven years since I've started using this and it has stood it's territory in my makeup case. Long lasting? You bet. Although for those who have oily skin, this is recommended because it has silica which absorbed extra oils but seals in moisture simultaneously. Now for a price tag of $25.00, this usually will last me about most of the year ranging anywhere from four to seven months depending on my usage. I usually have more coverage in the summer because my skin tends to be hyperpigmented when it has bathed in the sun too long even with higher sunscreen protection. It's completely buildable in coverage ranging from sheer to full but it shouldn't be reapplied mid day if you tend to shine; a simple blot film or translucent powder will do the job and it should be refreshed. Too much of this foundation will indicate itself by looking caked on but it can be thinned out with MAC's fix spray or their charge waters. While this can be compared to Make Up For Ever's Duo Mat Powder Foundation, MAC's Studio Fix Powder is much more shade reliable in my opinion, it doesn't highly oxidize to the point where it's a completely different shade whereas Make Up For Ever's foundations do so. This can also just set the Studio Fix Fluid to blur any lines and even out the whole look into an airbrush finish that totally looks natural. This has been the only foundation that matched my skin perfectly in shade, delivered a nice coverage, and is velvety to the touch. I can't say enough great compliments about this.
