BLUSH ME NATURALLY ...

I have often receive many questions about how to apply blush the correct way. Blushing is an easy technique which requires lots of practice. Here are a few tips to bear in mind when applying blusher :

ATTAIN THAT PORCELAIN, FLAWLESS SKIN
Set that foundation right and powder your skin. In order for any colors to look great on skin, learn the technique of flawless skin to begin with. Powder will set the right texture on skin so that blusher will not appear blotchy.

THE RIGHT TOOL
Get a big, fluffy and rounded brush. The bigger and fluffier, the better. Do not use the same brush for face.

LOOK TO THE MIRROR AND SMILE
That's how you find out the apple of your cheek, that is where blusher is supposed to be.

NEVER APPLY BELOW YOUR CHEEK BONE
It will add years to your age and makes you look haggard.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT COLOR OF BLUSHER
For dull skin, look for shimmery bright color
For small face, look for shimmery bright color
For big face, look for matte and down to earth colors
For fair skin, you can choose any color of your choice, matte or shine
For dark skin, look for shimmery bright colors

TAP, TAP, TAP ...
Pick the colors with your brush little by little.  Once you have picked the colors, lightly tap your cheekbone a few times...

APPLY IN CIRCULAR MOTION
Like as if you are polishing an apple, swirl your brush in circular motions from small to big, the swift to your hairline near your ear.

Start with a light application and go heavier as you need it. I would suggest that you go layers by layers to avoid mistake.

ADD A LAYER OF FACE POWDER
This action is to diffuse the blusher so that it will look natural. Finally, check your blush in natural light, rather than fluorescent.

ADDITION TIP
Bronzer can be an alternative, to give that sun-kissed cheeks.

Dark Circles and Puffy Eye Bag Rescue

Ever thought how things we can easily get from our kitchen can help solve our beauty problems? Here is the trick, as given from my great-grandmother.



Put a smooth metal spoon in a glass of ice-cube water to chill for a few seconds. Take it out and roll over your under eye area gently with it. Hold it there until the spoon is warm again. Then repeat the steps a few times.

Not only this will solve your problem, you will have fresh dewy eyes just within few seconds.

Beauty Tips ...

Is it better to use your finger to apply the under eye concealer? Yes. Use a cotton bud to pick up the creamy concealer from the tub. Lightly go over the under eye area with gentle care. Your finger will warm the creamy concealer as you tap and blend them well into your skin. Lightly brush over with loose powder to set the concealer.

Beauty Tip of the Month

Puffy eyes in the morning? Here is my favourite trick. Place a wet metal spoon to freeze for 10 minutes while you brush your teeth and wash your face. Place the back of the metal spoon down at your eyebag and roll the spoon upwards, rolling from side to side gently. Repeat on the other side with another spoon.

This trick not only sooth the eye but also gives your eyelash a lift. This method has been tested on my bridal clients and has proven to be magical, but only temporary. For a more permanent solution, try...
