Halloween Makeup tips
This year, I was a zombie. Not just a "recently killed" zombie like the ones from the new movie Zombieland, but a genuine --- risen from the grave -- kind of zombie. I even attended a class on how to do zombie makeup to make it look "authentic".
For starters, skip the grease paint that they sell in the grocery stores this time of year. It just looks fake. You'll do much better with a base of very light, or even white grease paint, but then top it with a white powder. Then, start your shadows and bruises with black eyeshadow and a good brush. Put a touch of purple underneath your eyes, and fill in some of the "bruising" with green and purple in addition to the black shadow. Don't make the mistake of doing yourself up so that you are mask-like. Instead, be sure to get the makeup well into your hairline, and down your chin, and in fact all over your chest or arms or anywhere your skin is showing. Don't forget your ears too. Add some dried moss to your messy hair for a finished look.
If you top it all off with some fake blood, you'll be good to go scare!!
Sunglasses will Preserve your Beauty!
It’s not a good idea to apply sunscreen on your eyelids or very close to your eyes since it can cause irritation in your eyes themselves. So, you need some way to protect this very delicate skin. Eye shadow can help to block some UV rays, but in direct sunlight, you really need much more than that.
Proper UV sunglasses will actually shield the skin around your eyes from UV radiation, which is what causes most sun damage in the first place. Even more importantly, sun glasses will help prevent you from squinting in bright outdoor light which is what can give you those age-telling “crow’s feet”. Continued squinting causes more wrinkles than almost anything next to smoking, or sun damage.
Not only will sun glasses help preserve the skin around your eyes, but you can certainly take that fashion step that makes you look good wearing them!
Beautiful in Glasses or Contacts
Glasses can definitely be a fashion statement. They can come in handy if you want that sultry, sexy, studious look. You can change your frames and have different styles. Choose frames that fit your face shape. This is extremely important, and much easier if you bring a friend with you when you are choosing them to give and outsiders’ opinion. Or, rely on the experience of the frame fitter at the optometry office to help choose a frame to flatter your face. Sometimes it’s worth a little bit more money to get the frames that truly do look the best and are flattering so that you don’t get hung up and feeling like a “four eyes”.
One little known advantage to wearing glasses occasionally, is that they can help hide circles under your eyes when you are tired! Of course, if you get your beauty sleep, this won’t be necessary!
Contacts do help you see better overall though, especially your peripheral vision. You could have fun and experiment with different eye colors. It is a little easier to apply makeup when you are wearing contacts as well.
In short, you can be beautiful in either glasses or contacts. The important thing it to make the most of your options
Beauty Tips for Camping
Consider that you will probably have some big sunglasses to make yourself radiant and protect those baby blues (or browns as your case may be!).
I do recommend some long wearing lipstick such as Covergirl Everlast. This will also help protect your lips from sun.
Wearing your hair up in a pony tail or a clip is a good idea. It will help you keep cool and keep it under control. More than anything else, just do not let yourself get too much UV radiation. The damage will show up on your skin years later, not now.
Now break out your best swim suit and hit the beach looking your best!
Mascara Tips - How to apply it!
For the lower lashes, the trick here is to brush it more sideways onto the lashes than brushing in the direction they grow. If you do that, you end up getting mascara all over your cheeks.
Put eyeshadow and eyeliner on first, and the mascara on last to avoid powdered eyeshadow falling onto the lashes.
Don't just comb the lashes, wiggle the brush right at the base of the lashes to give them good coverage.
Don't let any skin show between your lashes and your liner. Smudge the line to fill in the gap if needed.
Quick Summer Pool Makeup Tips
Start by keeping makeup at the pool to a minimum, but that doesn’t mean you have to go bare faced. Skip the foundation and the blush. Use a waterproof eye pencil and mascara. Next, use some all day lip color that will not wash off in the water. These all day lip colors are the greatest beauty invention ever, in my book! A beautiful lady never goes anywhere without at LEAST her lipstick! Above all, be sure to put your sunscreen on before you leave the house because even a few minutes of sun exposure on your skin can cause permanent damage that adds up over time. Do not make the common mistake of waiting until you get to the pool to apply your sunscreen.
Blue Eyeshadow - Yay or Nay?
I saw a question on Yahoo Answers recently that asked guys if they would date a woman who wore blue eyeshadow. The answers were varied, but most guys really didn't care because all they really wanted was a date. Probably not the best venue for a good opinion.
OK, so ... blue eye shadow.
Counterpoint: This always seems to be the first color that young pre-teens go for when they are experimenting with makeup for the first time. They don't understand yet that the make up is not supposed to "look" like they are wearing makeup. It is also closely associated with the "trailer park" and in general can be associated with less educated or very young girls. Don't just slap it on there because the blue eyeshadow looks so pretty in the container. It has to go on your face!
Whatever you do, choose your eyeshadow color to enhance your eyes, not to match your dress.

How to Fix Broken Makeup
The main topic of this website is "free makeup samples", so one of the things I would like to start doing is offering ways to make the makeup and beauty products you already have last longer. A penny saved is a penny earned. It's practically like getting free stuff. Well almost. Anyway...
Let's start with the very frustrating problem of broken makeup, such as eyeshadow, pressed powder, and blush. Don't throw it away -- it can be fixed!
Empty the broken makeup into the corner of a plastic zip bag. Make sure to get all of it out. Then crush it into a fine powder and snip the corner of the bag to pour it back into the pan. You can skip the baggie step if you can crush it all to a powder while still in the makeup container.
Next, take an eyedropper (or a syringe or a small spray bottle) of rubbing alcohol. Add a drop at a time to the broken makeup powder and stir it with a toothpick until it becomes a thick paste. Then tap the container onto the table to level it out. You can also press the paste to get a nice shape again using a coin (or other flat object) wrapped in a paper towel or cloth . The alcohol will evaporate and leave your makeup solid again.
Makeup to Bring Out a Tan
A dark smokey eyeshadow look is not recommended when you have a nice tan. Instead, try a very bright light shimmery almost whitish color. Cover the whole lid with this. Then try a brownish color just inside the socket crease, and a very thin line of the brown under the eyes. Apply a little of the shimmery color toward the inside of the eyes as well. This will really make your eyes pop.
Peach colors for your cheeks and your lips will go well if you have a summer tan. Try a nice gloss on the lips with a peachy color, and even a little shimmer.
These tips will make your features contrast nicely with your tan. Be sure to double up on the moisturizer since your skin is likely to be try when you have been in the sun.
Smokey Eyes Makeup Tip
Three brushes: smudge brush, blender brush, flat shadow brush
Three eye shadow colors: Dark, light, and medium tone (use black for the dark)
You will also need an eyeliner pencil.
The only thing I don't recommend is the way the makeup artist is pulling and stretching the model's face to apply the makeup. That kind of treatment to her skin will end up causing more wrinkles in the long run. It's not necessary to do in order to get this effect. Be gentle on your skin, especially around your eyes. Skin is made to stretch, but be reasonable if you want to preserve what youth you have left!
