makeup brushes


note to myself about makeup tricks

1 - The Beauty Department recommends applying foundation with downward strokes, rather than upward strokes. By brushing down, you help hide the peach fuzz on your cheeks.

2 - Harper’s Bazaar recommends applying foundation first and concealer second. If you do this, you’ll find that you need to use less concealer.

3 - After you’ve applied lip color, Lauren Conrad suggests covering your lips with light paper and powdering over the paper. A light sprinkle of powder will come through the paper, locking the color in.

4 - To instantly lift your eyes, The Beauty Department recommends drawing an arch above your eyebrow with a highlighter and then lightly blending it in.

5 - To make your eyelashes look more full and voluptuous, Top Inspired suggests dusting your eyelashes with baby powder before applying mascara.

6 - Makeup Geek suggests highlighting the inner and outer corners of your eye. This technique is flattering for most eye shapes.

7 - Her Campus recommends using white eyeliner rather than black. This will make your eyes look wider and brighter.

8 - Cosmopolitan points out that you can turn your regular eyeshadow into a glossy shadow by adding lip balm as a top layer.

9 - For winged eyeliner: Place your pen at the outermost part of your nostril, then angle it upwards to meet the outer edge of your eye. Lower the tip of your liner where it lands and draw down toward your lash line.

10 - For a cheaper alternative to makeup brushes: Use paint brushes as makeup brushes. Many paint brushes are shaped similar to makeup brushes, and many companies (like Royal & Langnickel) make makeup brushes in addition to paint brushes. Lots of craft stores have weekly coupons you can use to lower the price, and the brushes themselves go on sale constantly. It’s a great way to get some good brushes at a more reasonable price point.

11 - For girls with glasses:If you wear glasses, use a colored eyeliner on your lower lash line and black on the top. It makes your eyes really stand out from behind your frames! 
12 - To make your eyelashes grow: Before you go to bed, put Vaseline on your eyelashes. It’ll help them grow and make them look great! 

13 - Put on your foundation AFTER doing your eye makeup. Especially if you’re doing winged liner. This way, you can erase all your mistakes until it’s perfect! It also allows you to wipe off any eye shadow that fell under your eyes. 

14 - Put your makeup on in front of a close-up mirror with natural light. This way, you can see what it really looks like. 
15 - Use bronzer in the shape of the number “3” along the side of your face. With the top of the 3 at your hair line, the bottom at your jaw line, and the middle part just under your cheekbones. This is the easiest way of thinking of contouring.

About HOBBIES

I just found this pin on pinterest about hobbies.

And it's quite interesting!


"Inexpensive Hobbies 

Spend time, not money! Here are some activities you can do, even if you don't feel like spending a lot of cash. These are the things that give you the most "bang for your buck."
  • Reading (especially through your local library).
  • Writing and drawing (all you need is pen and paper).
  • Meditation.
  • Attend free community events: Subscribe to community websites to keep track of all the free events scheduled near you.
  • Learn a language, learn to cook, or learn to dance (there are so many free lessons and resources on the Internet).
  • Anything online: play online games, watch documentaries, or join an online group.
  • DIY beauty: By watching clips on YouTube, you can learn to do everything from cutting your own hair to sewing your own clothes. These are hobbies and money-savers rolled into one.
  • Take up an inexpensive sport: running, swimming, hiking, frisbee, basketball... (require almost nothing but the clothes you're wearing and a decent pair of shoes).
  • Plan walking tours of nearby areas: Get exercise while you learn about the place where you live. You can even expand your local knowledge by taking out books of local history or local flora and fauna from the library and learning to identify the historical sites and plants, birds, and creatures you find along the way. Bring your digital camera to make it a photo safari.
  • Thrift shopping, coupon-cutting, or going to garage sales: Fun ways to spend time and save money!"
READING THIS i have the will to do all of them i just wish i had the time :)
