Match Brows With Hair

    Brows frame your face and draw attention to your eyes. But the wrong color can wash you out. So the key is to fill them in so that they complement your hair but don't match it perfectly.


Brunette
If you have chestnut hair, look for honey or warm on the label. Those with chocolaty hair should go for medium brown. Try Covergirl Brow & Eyemakers Pencil in Honey Brown (above) or Midnight Brown ($5, at drugstores).

Black
Go with a dark- or medium- brown pencil ( the latter looks best on fair- skinned women with light eyes) but never black, says Foote. Try Clinique Superfine Liner for Brows in deep Brown or Soft Brown

Blonde
Brown should match the darkest shade on your head. Fill them in with a light-brown (taupe) pencil. A good Taupe brow pencil is Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow, works pretty well.

Red
Put down the copper pencil. Few natural redheads have ginger brows. A reddish brown is more flattering . Try using Lorac Creamy Brow Pencil in Auburn at Sephora really good.

Beauty Tips| How to Get Rid of a Pimple: 1-7

  1. Do not touch or pop the pimple. It will only make the pimple more obvious and risk infection and scarring. Instead, take up the following routine, twice a day, until it disappears.
  2. Wash your hands thoroughly before you touch your face.
  3. Wash your face gently but thoroughly with a mild, medicated soap and warm water. The water shouldn't be steaming hot; it should be just a little warm. Do not use a washcloth, as the scrubbing action could distribute bacteria to other parts of your face. Use your hands. Wash for about 30 seconds.
      4. Pat your skin dry with a towel. Always pat; don't wipe or rub. Wiping can move bacteria on your  face and spread it by redistributing it in other places.
      5. Apply mandelic acid, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid topical cream on the pimple. Mandelic acid has antibacterial properties which will kill the acne causing bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes." If the spot is under the skin surface and hurts when touched, use benzoyl peroxide. Salicylic Acid should work well for all other acne spots.
       6.After topical treatment is dry, apply a basic face moisturizer (preferably allergy-tested, fragrance free, and oil free). Without moisturizing, the skin around the pimple can dry and irritate your skin, possibly making the pimple more inflamed and noticeable. Some contain a mild sunscreen, which is often recommended with some acne washes and medications.
        7.Dermabrasion removes the redness. A simple natural home remedy for this is to use the skin inside of an egg shell. Google "dermabrasion with eggs".

Beauty Tips| Complexion Concealer

Concealer is supposed to mask problems but applied the wrong way, it can actually magnify a zit.

1. Look for a matte or oil-free concealer
It will adhere better to the skin and wont slide off like a creamy formula can. One with sulfur also helps keep skin clear.

2. Remember light shade enhance dark ones recede.
Never put a too-light concealer or shimmery powder onto a raised bump its like shinning a spotlight on it. Match the concealer to your skin, then use a brush to lightly tap on a slightly darker matte eye shadow shade to give the illusion of shrunken bump

3. Layer
Think of a pimple as a tiny hill on your face. you need to apply a few thin layers to the blemish and the area around it to make the spot visually shrink. Use a concealer brush to pat it on and blend well. Your fingers are a breeding ground for bacteria, which worsens acne don't forget that.
