How To Look Gorgeous In A Photo!!

Prime Skin







MAKE UP FOR EVER HD HIGH DEFINITION PRIMER, $32, SEPHORA.COM 


    If you're going to be in photos, applying primer before makeup is essential - it reflects light, creating the illusion of invisible pores and airbrushed makeup.










Fight Frizz 
     Blow-dry downward on high heat to avoid frizz .

JOHN FRIEDA FULL REPAIR TOUCH-UP FLYAWAY TAMER, $10, DRUGSTORES




Tame The T-Zone
MAC BLOT FILM, $15, MACCOSMETICS.COM
       Powder the forehead and nose pre-photo and blot with a sheet. those areas look very shiny in photo, so you need extra coverage.

CheekBones
L'OREAL PARIS THE ONE SWEEP SCULPTING BLUSH IN POPPY, $13, DRUGSTORE
    Shade under the cheekbones and jawline with a matte bronzer to create the appearance of chiseled features. Add dimension with rosy blush on the apples of cheeks.

Get Glossy Lips 
DIOR ADDICT ULTRA-GLOSS INPINK FLIRT,$27.50, DIOR.COM
      Swipe on a peach or pink lip gloss, adding that the neutral shade and subtle sheen make teeth look brighter. But don't overdo it. Too much gooby gloss can look garish.

Make Hair Shine 
KERASTASE CHROME CRISTAL SHINE PERFECTING MIST,$39, KERASTASE-USA.COM
      Luster and fullness make any hairstyle pop in a photo. To boost body, gently tease at the crown with a large hair pick. Finger-comb locks into place, then spritz with shine spray .

Imperfections!
DOLCE & GABBANA PERFECT FINISH CONCEALER,$ 35, SAKSFIFTHAVENUE.COM
    Camera flashes accentuate blemishes, under-eye bags and dark spot. so dab on a light-diffusing concealer in a hue that matches your skin tone.

Prettiest Trends In Hair And Makeup For 2012!

Senorita Hair


Insider trick: Rub Wella Professionals Rugged Fix Matte Molding Crème into the roots of your hair all over to create a slightly matted, dancing-the-night-away texture. As for the low pony, make sure you start with a side part, and then pull hair loosely back, allowing it to cover the ears.







WOW Brows
Insider trick: Brush brows upward to make them appear thicker and more youthful. If your arches are sparse, then use Maybelline Define-a-Brow Eyebrow Pencil to fill in gaps, suggests Willer.









Flared Lashes
Insider trick: After drawing a slightly winged black line along the upper lashes, go over it with a carbon-colored shadow (from Dolce & Gabbana's SmoothEye Colour Quad in Femme Fatale). Then, like McGrath, place just "a quarter of a strip" of faux fringe at the outer corners of eyes.




RED Hollywood Look
Insider trick: As an update to traditional crimson lips, McGrath skipped the liner and instead applied color with her finger for a soft, long-lasting finish.





Flesh-Toned Nails
Insider trick: To create a custom polish that matches your own skin tone, mix your basic nude hue (likeDashing Diva's Mr. Right) with loose mineral makeup powder, as the manicurists did backstage.







The New Braid
Insider trick: After pinning your twist, spray a light control hairspray (like Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold) on the rest of hair and scrunch to achieve that laid-back, faintly tangled look.










Tips To Color Your Hair At HOME!

COLOR TIPS
How to dye it right every time
FIND THE RIGHT COLOR
Match your current hair color to one pictured on a box, then choose a box one to two shades lighter or darker.
TIME IT
Before applying dye, swipe Vaseline along the hairline to shield skin from dips. And set the timer, the solution should only stay for 30 min.
TOUCH UP
Touch up your roots every six weeks. Want a totally new color? It's safe to switch up the shade sooner.
