Beauty Tips For Eye Lashes

Mascara is a great invention. I don't really know what majority of girls would do without it.
There are only a few lucky girls who have long and voluminous lashes.
Others have to use plenty of techniques and various types of mascara to create a luxurious mysterious look men like so much.
However,there are women who suffer from thick, clumply, spider-like lashes and don't
understand what causes that.
The answer is simple enough - you applied mascara incorrectly.

Here are some useful tips for you to make the process of applying mascara easier and more
effective.
1. How to apply mascara




Step 1: Wiggle the wand left to right at the base of lashes.To create the illusion of length it is important to start from
the roots and not the tips.
Step 2: Pull the wand up and through lashes, wiggling as you go.
Step 3: To finish with, close the eye and place the mascara wand on top of lashes at the base and pull through to remove any possible clumps.

2. How to use a lash comb. For some girls lash combs seem to be too fussy. But makeup artists consider them to be a nice invention and keep lashes glob-free and perfectly separated. Apply mascara at the lash base. Then wiggle the lash comb through to the tips of your lashes.
In case you don’t like lash combs but want to get rid of clumps there is another way for you - remove excess mascara from the wand. Wipe wand on tissue, this eliminates blobs BEFORE you start.
3. Put at least two coats. This will create a boosting effect and lashes will seem more voluminous. But make sure to do it before the first coat dries, otherwise you’ll get clumps.
4. Powder the under-eye skin before applying mascara. Mascara sometimes smudges because it’s attracted to oily concealer or eye creams.
5. Zig-zag the wand. When you zig-zag the wand back and forth during mascara application you prevent the appearance of clumps.
6. Use an eyelash curler. Curling lashes makes your eyes look wider and brighter. You may curl your lashes both before applying mascara or after it. The only thing you should keep in mind when doing that is your curler must be dry.



7. To create a dramatic look, apply mascara only to the upper lashes. To make your eyes seem wider, apply it to the bottom, too.
8. Try a mascara primer. Primers coat lashes and separate them from each other before you use mascara. As it takes additional time for make-up procedure you may want to use the primer only on a special occasion.
9. Use a clean mascara wand. Sweep a clean, fresh mascara wand through lashes when they’re still wet. When you finish, clean the wand in a capful of eye makeup remover, then wash with soap and dry thoroughly.
10. Opt for thinner and shorter brushes. A thinner brush allows you to get into the corner of your eyes. Short brushes give you more control






11. Never pump wand in and out of the tube. It will introduce air into the tube and cause your mascara to dry out sooner than it should.
12. After using mascara wait for a few seconds before blinking.That if you don’t want to paint your lids of course!

To really make your lashes pop, curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. Stroke mascara on your lashes with a really good brown mascara and once they are almost dry, take a black mascara and stroke it just on the ends of your lashes. Or, apply a clear mascara first and then apply the black or brown mascara on top for some decent length without using false lashes.


What woman doesn't want Lashes to die for? Long eyelashes are considered a sign of femininity in many cultures.There are several ways to get thicker eyebrows and longer lashes. Other women have more complex problems such as thinning eyebrows and eyelashes or eyelashes falling out.Eyebrows often become an issue either being sparse due to heredity, falling out, or over-plucking.This blog discusses how to grow eyelashes and eyebrows, how to grow thicker eyebrows and longer lashes, and maintaining healthy eyelashes

There are several ways to achieve eyelash growth.One is to use an Eyelash Curler, and then apply a Mascara that either thickens or lengthens your lashes or both, depending on what you want to achieve.You can also use a product to improve the overall health of your eyelashes which can also encourage and promote eyelash growth, such as an eyelash stimulator. If your eyelashes are falling out and you know it is not due to poor health, then certainly a product such as an eyelash stimulator can improve your eyelashes.Or, how to get thicker eyelashes naturally; go the natural route and rub a drop or two of castor oil or extra virgin olive oil on your lashes every night at bedtime and leave on overnight. Wash off in the morning. A lot of women say their lashes grew considerably after doing it for several months. In the meantime, you can apply False Eyelashes for those special occasions.

You will need one brown and one black mascara. The brown causes the lashes to appear thicker, while the black causes them to appear longer. After curling your lashes, apply a coat of the brown mascara. After it has dried, either apply another coat (until the desired thickness is achieved) or apply black mascara just to the tips of the lashes. Repeat on bottom lashes if desired. The result: Extra-long lashes!




For an intense smoky look, line eyes thick with pencil not eye shadow and smudge. Your eyes will pop!

How to thread eyebrows

Intro: How to thread eyebrows
The art of eyebrow threading is a very old beauty technique. In a nut shell, it involves removing hair with thread. Some say it originated in the Middle East, others think it started in India. Either way, it's a pretty cool concept, but a little tricky to master.
step 1:
-First you will need to cut a piece of sewing thread about 11inches long (if you have big hands/fingers then you might need a longer piece of thread).
-Then tie the thread in a knot to make a loop.


step 2:
-Insert two fingers from both hands into the loop. Make sure to keep the knot on your fingers to keep it hidden.
-Twist the fingers on one hand to make an 'X'.
-Twist your fingers a few more times in the same direction (about 4 twists should be enough).
-Now, place your index finger and thumb inside the loop (make sure you don't lose the shape of the thread or you'll have to repeat step 2).
-Keep the fingers of one hand pinched together while you open the fingers of the other hand. This will slide the twisted part of the thread over. This movement is how the thread grips the hair and pulls it out. (kind of like when you rub a rubber band over your arm and it pulls out your hair...actually it hurts like that too when you are removing multiple hairs such as your upper lip).


step 3:
-What you want to do is make sure you pull the hair in the opposite direction of the way it grows.
So, place one hand above your brow and the other below. The hand that will be used to move the twisted part of the thread will be the hand below the brows.
-Place the hair you want to pull out in the 'V' part of the thread.
-Open fingers on hand below brow to move the twist over the hair. The hair gets caught in the twist and THUS will be pulled out!!! Do this movement fast. It will work easier and be painless

step 4:
Open the fingers of the other hand to place the twist back in the middle. Then you can repeat step 3 over again.
***MAKE SURE WHEN YOU DO THIS MOVEMENT YOU DON'T HAVE THE THREAD NEAR HAIR. It could lead to accidently pulling hair out.

step 5:
***TIP***
-When threading near hair you don't want removed, you can use the thread to push the hair out of the way. This will allow easier access to the one hair you want
removed

step 6:
***TIP***
I suggest practicing the movements first. Alternating between opening one hand then the other.
I also suggest practicing on your(or your boyfriend's) leg hair before attempting the brow. It is hard to control the thread in the beginning. If you don't practice first, you may end up with very oddly shaped eyebrows.
