Make Up Tips: Making Lips Look Bigger

Digging through the net, I have found some helpful tips to create the illusion of bigger and full lips and I would like to share them with you.

Here they are:


1)Apply a light shade of foundation followed by powder on your lips to remove the color from your lips
2)Start with a lip liner in a color that closely matches your color of lipstick.
3)Make the outline just outside your natural lip line.
4)Now fill with lipstick and then blend.

(Tips seen HERE)

More Tips for Full Lips

*Always soften lips before applying any lip makeup. Allow to absorb for at least 10 minutes before applying makeup. This helps your lip liner glide on more easily and will help lipstick from bleeding outside the lines.

*Place lip liners in the freezer so they’re good and firm when you use them. If your liner crumbles or the points keep breaking off, your lines will go on too thick. Full lips should look natural and not take (too much) attention away from the rest of your face.

*Lip glosses make your lips look larger. Use clear colors or colored lip glosses to help create full lips. If you want more of a matte finish, apply a small amount of loose powder (or minerals) with a soft powder brush after you apply your lipstick and liner.

*Apply a light pearly lipstick (or gloss) in the middle of your bottom lip. The effect is fuller, plumper looking lips!

Make Up Tips: Eye Shadow

Many special events are coming and everybody love to look wonderful in these Holidays´ parties.

I´ve been researching and I found some nice tips that may come handy when you want to look gorgeous.

Eyes are very important, you can make them look elegant, sophisticated or mysterious.

Found in Free-Make up tips:

How to Apply Eyeshadow
1. The first rule when applying eye shadow is to blend it well so there are no harsh edges. Put the very light shade (high lighter) on the space beneath the brows up to the crease of the eye lid.

2. Apply the medium shade on the upper eyelid only. Use a lighter shade under the browbone to highlight the eyes.
3. And the darkest shade on the crease of the eyelid that is the place almost in the middle of the total eye area-above the lashes and beneath the brows. Blend both the colors well.
4. With the tip of a fine brush, apply a little shadow beneath the eyes, along the lower lash line. Smudge it lightly to give your eyes a subtle, glamorous look.

Found in Make up tip:

Creating the sophisticated look

1. Apply a light eyeshadow over your entire eyelid from lash line to eyebrow bone, but not beyond.

2. Define the crease of your eyelid using a medium or dark shade. The deeper the shade, the more dramatic look.

3. To open up your eyes so that they appear livelier, place a dot of a light shade in the inner corner of each eye.
