Amazing Makeup Tips for Eyes, Lips and Face

You’re Eyes:

1. For great looking eyes make sure to use powder shadows for a natural look and an eyeliner pencil for drama at night. Make sure the liner has a smudge tip at one end to get that smoky eye look. Only line the top of the eye is you're looking tired. You don't want to bring more attention to dark circles under the eyes. Neutral tones with a hint of color are flattering on everybody.

2. For sheen on the eyelids, dab a bit of Vaseline for a pretty reflective quality, as well as moisture.

3. Open up the eye with a gold/beige shimmery high lighter onto the brow bone.

4. Don't throw away cash on an expensive eye makeup remover! Find a pretty glass bottle and fill it with baby shampoo.

5. If your cream eye shadow dries out, use a few drops of water or mineral oil to soften it up again.

6. Potatoes, like cucumbers, will reduce the appearance of dark, under-eye circles.

You’re Lips:

1. Use blush as a lipstick, then use clear gloss or lip balm over it. Longer staying power.

2. Natural ingredients have been used for centuries as makeup: apply beet juice to lips and cheeks as a stain, or mix it with melted bees wax to make your own lip balm! Cayenne pepper can plump the lips, but use with caution!

3. Use eye makeup remover to treat super dry, chapped lips. It's a great nighttime lip treatment!

You’re Face:

1. For a longer lasting foundation try a product with silicone. The silicone creates a sweat-proof and smudge resistant second skin. For me, I find it helps with my rosacea because the live yeast extract has healing powers.

2. A powder bronzer under blush can really even out skin tone. I dab my brush in the bronzer, then into the blush and lightly cover my whole face.

3. For a new bronzer, use a foundation that is two to three shades darker than your skin tone and apply where you would use your bronzer. In a pinch you could use a brown eye shadow.

4. Papaya mixed with plain yogurt into a paste makes a great exfoliating mask for all skin types!

5. Use an egg white mask for a quick fix for diminishing the appearance of pores.

Tips for a healthy living

IS TOO HOT OUTSIDE?

Here is an important tip for the hot hot summer...

It’s important to prevent the UV radiation from entering your skin!!

· Seek the shade, especially during the sun's peak hours (12-3pm)
· Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
· Cover up with clothing, especially a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses. · Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet that includes vitamin supplements

HONEY

Honey is a natural antiseptic, moisturiser and because of all its antioxidants, it is an anti age fighter as well.

Use a small amount on insect bites or blisters since it has a natural protective salve which seals out further infections and it creates a moist healing environment within.

3. Don't loosen your belt

4. Don't bathe

5. Don't sleep immediately

WATERMELON:

Watermelons are a good source of antioxidants that help your body detox, as well as fight infections, ageing and inflammation. The seeds are also rich in antioxidants.

Take advantage of these benefits, by blending chunks of watermelon to release the goodness in the seeds. This is great to drink when you are hungover!

RED TOMATES:

Starting with the basics, tomatoes contain large amounts of vitamin C. They also contain vitamin A, potassium, and 7 percent of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for women and 10 percent RDA for men. The red pigment contained in tomatoes is called lycopene. This compound appears to act as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that can damage cells in the body.

When choosing your tomatoes, be sure to pick those with the most brilliant shades of red. These indicate the highest amounts of beta-carotene and lycopene. Though raw tomatoes are great for you, cooking them releases even more of the benefits. Lycopene is located in the cell wall of the tomato, so by cooking it, this healing compound is more fully released. In addition cooking the tomato in olive oil allows your body to absorb the lycopene better. Tomatoes don't lose any of their nutritional value in high heat processing, making canned tomatoes and tomato sauce both just as viable and beneficial as fresh tomatoes.

Wishing u are in pink(or rather red) of health...

BANNERS:

Lets start with the benefits of fruits...

Bananas give a substantial instant and sustained boost of energy. They can help overcome or prevent many illnesses and conditions. Bananas contain vitamin B which calms the nervous system as well as potassium, which is depleted in times of stress. This coupled with the low salt content, makes them heart-healthy. Tryptophan is converted by the body into serotonin, a relaxant and mood improver. The vitamin B6 also regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood, as well as help avoid morning sickness.

Bananas are high in iron. A high fibre content can restore regular bowel action. The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
