Make-Up Tips For Perfect Complexion

Foundation

This has several beauty benefits. It evens out skin tones,

smoothens the skin’s texture, provides a base for other

make-up, and keeps colors true.

Color Check

* Do not use the back of your hand to check the color
   because it is darker. Apply a little on your jaw-line
   and check.

* Check this in daylight.

Foundation Mixes

Foundation and powder in one handy ready-mixed compact
are the short-cut to a natural-looking complexion. They are
smoothed on with a sponge and suit most skin types, except
very dry skins.

FOUNDATION TIPS

* Keep in mind your skin type and needs when buying your
   foundation. It should not look uncomfortable.

* If you have dry skin, look for a creamy, moisturizing
   formula.   

* For oily and combination skin, an oil-free or water-based
   make-up is best.

* Water-based foundations give a matte finish.

EYESHADOW TIPS

* Pressed powder eyeshadows give excellent coverage and are
  useful for building up color intensity; the colors also keep true
  during wear.

* Loose eyeshadow powders tend to be pearly and slightly finer
   textures than pressed and are best used as highlights or for a
   soft sheen.

* Cream eyeshadowis by far the most difficult to use and it tends
   to sink into the crease of the socker-line after few hours.

slow healing of wounds, headaches, pale fingernails,
mental depression, and poor memory.

Causes

   in the bone marrow or an inadequate intake of iron, vitamins,
   and protein.

* Heavy loss of blood due to injury , bleeding piles, and heavy
   menstruation may also cause anemia.

* Anemia can also be caused by a variety of drugs which destroy
   vitamin E or by others which inactivate the nutrients needed
   in building blood cells.

* Other cause of anemia are intestinal parasites or worms.

How To Cure Anemia

* Diet is important in the treatment of anemia.

* Iron should always be taken in its natural organic form.

* Common foods rich in natural organic iron are wheat and wheat
   grain cereals, brown rice, cabbage, apples, tomatoes, eggs,
   dates, etc.

* A liberal intake of ascorbic acid is necessary to facilitate absorption
   of iron. At least, two citrus fruits should be taken daily.

A quick cleanse in the morning and a thorough cleanse at night
are important for every skin type.

Tips To Remove Eye Make-Up:

   your lashes for a few seconds to dissolve the make-up.

   and working up and out.

  circles with your index fingers around your nose and chin.

   piece of cotton wool.

Tips For Using Toner:

   and out, avoiding the eye area.

* Blot your skin dry with a tissue.
