How Do You Keep Your Eye Liner In Place

That is really a very good questions I was asked. One way is to use a water proof eyeliner. They have come a long way from the ones we used to have to heat on the end. Still your skin produces oils during the day or evening and will begin to melt the eyeliner. Here is a few tricks I use that work well.

First I cover my entire lid and lower lid with a light colored powder, usually one that is one shade lighter then my foundation. If you are more mature or have dark circles this is also a great choice as it helps to hide some of that. After applying the powder apply the eyeliner. You now can do one of 2 things. Apply a mineral eye shadow over the top of it or use a finishing powder to set all of your make up. That should keep it in place for at least 6 hours or more.

Bad Hair Cut Who's Fault is it.

How did you get that bad hair cut? 

It all starts when you first sit in the chair. I myself have had my hair cut not the way I wanted it. It seems that miss-communication is the culprit and it is easy to just not get what you want. How does this happen when you just said you wanted a trim but left with your hair 4 inches shorter than it was.
I have even made mistakes either because my client sat silent in the chair or I miss understood what they wanted because they made to many contradictory request.
For instance my sister tells me she wants her hair layered but not short. So I take off about 2 inches and layer it for her only for me to get finished and she tells me she wanted shorter layers. Was she watching me cut her hair? Didn't she see how much I took off? So I had to do it all over again.
When in the stylist chair be clear go into detail as to what you want. Take a picture with you. It's best to get an idea of what also will work with your hair type, face shape and your build. It all helps when trying to get that great hair cut. Communicate what you want and make sure you are decided on a style. Don't just think your stylist understand what you want when you say things like. " I want something new but not any shorter" Hmm what does that mean? Here is a site that can help you find just what you need for your face shape and lots of styles to give you and your stylist a great way to give you a hair cut that is best for you.
You can print out hairstyles to give to your hairstylist from this Great Website.
Also pay attention to what the stylist is doing. If you think were she is cutting it is too short have her or him go longer, it can always be cut shorter later. Remember to listen to what the stylist suggest. It is their business and they do know a thing or two about cutting hair. All these tips will give you a great chance at not only getting a good cut but one that is suited for your life style and your features. Then after you have that great hair cut, leave a tip. It is always appreciated. 

Looking Good in the Winter?

How on earth can you ever look good in the winter? 

The question of the day. It is so hard when you put your big heavy boots on long johns and heavy coat. Then it snows on your hair you just fixed so nice. If you ware a hat you have fly away hair. So your choices are flat hair or spiked hair. It is hard to imagine why we bother to comb our hair put on makeup and get dressed.
Your pants almost always get a big mud streak on them from the car or truck and it never fails that the bottoms of your pants have mud on them too. I am not a fan of winter as you can tell. Snow makes such a mess and we must endure it for many months. I find it easy to take it with a grain of salt and just look as bad as the next person. My cheeks will be red and hair flat just like everyone else.

I will be toasty because I have my body armor on and feel like a stuffed chicken. Today I am buying candles for more up coming power outages. At least then I look good Right? Everyone looks good in candle light. Best we all can do is make sure we drink plenty of water, and keep our skin in top shape. Be sure to buy some moisturizing lotion for the long winter months. Clothing and the inside air will deplete your skin of moisture. At least then when we are home naked our skin will look nice.

Christmas Un Wrapped Beauty

With the holidays just around the corner or oh wait they are here. Time just fly's by us and we forget to do those things that we need to do for ourselves. While shopping it's easy to grab a quick bit to eat then run more errands and wow don't forget we still need regular groceries before Christmas gets here. Be kind to yourself and your behind and leave the fast food alone. We get caught up in the hustle and bustle of things and grab what ever is handy. I am not say it's bad to have a treat but this time of the year we treat ourselves to 5 extra pounds ever holiday season only to have old man winter come in a ruin our regular exercise routine.

Eat before going shopping take a healthy snack if you are going to be most of the day. You will save money and your back side. It also gives you that extra cash to add to a special Christmas gift you thought might be out of your reach and maybe a little something special for yourself.
Drink plenty of water. This time of year we are indoors more than ever and have more clothes on. our clothing also sucks moisture out of our skin. Be sure to exfoliate and lather on the lotions. Dry air and running here and there, cooking all takes a toll on our bodies. Stress begins to sink in and if we don't take a time out for that relaxing bath or a nice facial we can make ourselves sick. For a little Christmas gift buy a nice lotion, bar of soap, or bath salts and take 20 minutes for you! It will re energize you and give you the strength to carry on. Besides I am sure you have a few friends and family that don't care if the gift is wrapped with ribbons and bow.
You don't have to wrap mine!
