Beauty Queen Secrets

Another hot look for this 2008 summer season which all stars are after are blue shades for lips, cheeks and eyes that emphasizes more on your assets taking attention away from unsightly blemishes.
Experts suggest you ditch that black nail polish this summer for neon is in. Black has been a norm for quite sometime but for fun outdoors, neon is the in-thing for women. Give yourself the added bonus of attracting your own following of men as you highlight those previously dead looking fingers. The bright colors give you a cheerful glow, which if matched properly and wisely with your make-up can give you an entirely summer look.

Foundations are not concealers and should never be used as such for they only make you look older. All of us have blemishes on our faces and most of us simply want them to disappear. Experts say that using foundations to hide them gives you an older look than you should. Less is best as Lisa Elridge says when it comes to foundations. She also says that black and red dresses look best with well applied lipstick, berry cheeks and neutral eyes. Bronzing powders, pearls and creams will give you that bronze goddess look you have been wanting like your favorite stars from film and cinema.

There are myths circulating out in the thick that putting toothpaste onto an unsightly pimple tends to get it to heal faster. That might be a bit true for most toothpastes have menthol in them which can indeed get them to dry out faster but the many other ingredients you find in them can cause more harm than good so stick to that pimple gel you can get from your local pharmacy. They’ll work better than toothpaste and you don’t end up with your face having a hint of menthol. Over the counter pimple gels work best and can be applied without worrying about complications to your sensitive face but if you’re in a rut (say out in the wild on a hike you do not expect to get out of in the next few hours) dab it on.

Unsightly hair, wax it off. That is a common practice of today’s figure conscious women who have more hair than they would want. Blame genetics and hormones all you want but waxing does prevent the growth of more hair even delaying the growth of new ones (for a couple of years that is). So go on waxing those unsightly hairs for the clean and beautiful look you deserve and want. On varicose veins, most agree that crossing your legs increases the probability that one gets these unsightly blood vessels that show through the skin. If one is light skinned they show more prominently but crossing your legs does not in anyway contribute to their formation. Blame your parents or your job for you may have inherited them from them (genetics) or had them form due to long times spent standing up in your job.

There are new types of make-up that use natural ingredients such as minerals that have been ground so fine into powder form which not only make your skin look better, they also nourish the skin while you’re wearing them. Technique when applying make-up is what counts and not the price. As you do with your face (make-up), do the same with your hair and get a re-do of your style at the same time. Remember, the more up to date your do and your make-up looks the younger you are and it beats the old norm of having a look that is the embodiment of you. It brings change to you and to others who may see you even giving an extra spark to that decade old marriage of yours. Feel good about yourself which may be better than all the make-up on earth by thinking that you are who you are and accepting it all, beauty and flaws.
