What tone of red lipstick looks best on you?





The secret to perfect red lips lies in selecting the tone that goes best with your complexion and hair color.The paler your skin is, the more orange there should be in your lipstick. For women with dark skin and dark hair, red lipstick with pink undertones is best. Don’t forget that red lipstick in itself is a strong highlight, so combine it with a more neutral eye makeup.

Easy homemade green apple mask for your skin type



 


Green apple for youthful skin
Green apples are rich in minerals (calcium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, iron, etc.) and vitamins (B vitamins, vitamins C, E, PP, folic acid, etc.). When used cosmetically, they make the skin youthful and improve its elasticity. They successfully neutralize free radicals thanks to the flavonoids and polyphenols they contain. Green apples are a great anti-oxidant.
Green apple mask for normal skin type
Combine 2 tablespoons of shredded green apple with 1 teaspoon of corn starch and 1 egg white, beaten into foam. Apply mixture to face and neck. Rinse in 15 minutes with cool water.

COMMON MISTAKES MADE IN THE NAME OF BEAUTY



Women are often willing to suffer deprivation or discomfort in the name of beauty, but mistakes are often made and some of them can lead to lasting effects.


Mistake #1 “I’m tired, so I’ll just go to bed”
Disregarding this first rule of beauty is proof that you do not love yourself. Do not be surprised if your skin repays you with irritation, inflammation or, God forbid, pimples. Think of taking down your makeup and the cleansing procedures as relaxing, not exhausting. But be careful not to go too far. Squeaky clean skin is usually suffering from disturbed pH balance and hydro-lipid layer, which, roughly translated, is an open invitation for bacteria and a working order for all sebaceous glands.

Mistake #2 The rosy-cheeks doll
The purpose of blush is to enliven the face and to underline certain features. Some ladies think of it as an anachronism, while others use tons of it in an attempt to sculpt the nose and the oval of the face, while also making the cheeks skinnier. The result is a rosy-cheeked doll. The color of blush should also be taken into consideration. The effect of pink, peach or bronze-hued blush is more natural and elegant. The darker tones of blush have no enlivening effect, but can even make the skin look older.

The advantages of dark skin and how to create the perfect makeup for it



Different skin tones require different approach toward finding the perfect makeup. Experts say that dark skin is more resilient and therefore more susceptible to decorative cosmetics. Thanks to its higher content of pigments, dark skin is able to better resist the elements. Use the guidelines listed below to help you highlight your skin color.
Foundation
Foundation is the most important part of your makeup and consequently of your whole image. In order to avoid creating the opposite effect and making your face look unnatural, the color of your foundation needs to be only one tone darker than your complexion.
Eyes
Accentuate the eyes. You can confidently pull off dark blue grey, black and brown. Dark colors will complement your complexion. If you’re creating evening makeup you can finish it off with a little bit of shine.
