OMBRE LIPS

Ombre lips (two toned lips) are quite easy to do! You don't even need a brush! For those that do not know, Ombre is a trend in the fashion industry, which simply means gradual lightening. From the darkest to the lightest. This trend is seen in hair, nails, clothing, cake industries. You can achieve ombre lips with two to three colors depending on what you want! Here are 4 simple steps on how to do Ombre lips: 1. Line your lips with the darkest color, preferably a lip pencil, starting at the peak. 2. Blend it by smacking your lips together 3. Apply the lighter lip color(s) inside the line 4. Blend the colors together by smacking your lips together, stopping when you get your desired effect. Finito....... Easy Right?!!

These are pictures from makeovers i did sometime back

Let's Talk Lippies!

Let me share little tricks on  how to achieve different textures with the same lipstick

***For a creamy finish, apply lip balm on your lips before applying lipstick all over it.
 ***For a matte finish,apply your lipstick without a lipbalm, and then blot it gently with a tissue (by the way, 'matte' means without gloss or shine). apply another coat, and then i blot again.
 ***For a sheer finish, apply lipbalm all over your lips, then  dot a small amount of lipstick across your lips and then smooth it out. This Gives your lip color a sheer look....like a tinted lip balm.
 ***Finally, for a glossy finish,apply your lipstick normally, then top it off with a clear lip gloss (not lip balm oooo!) for the glossy effect......Remember that too much gloss will make your lips look fuller, so apply with moderation.
 NOTE: Lipgloss is clearly different from lip balm. Lip balms are like ointments and have a 'vaseline-like' texture. On the other hand, lip glosses are in a thick liquid form and have an oily, glossy texture.
 Thats it!.......You're welcome.

9 BAD HABITS That Stands Between You and Great Skin!

1). Touching your face throughout the day: This habit is one of the major sources of breakout and rashes.
 2). Wearing oil-based makeup and moisturizers: These formulas tend to clog your pores.
 3). Sleeping with makeup: Make sure your skin sure is super-clean overnight so that it benefits from your body’s natural restorative work while you sleep.
 4). Using grease pomades and oily hair sprays-these can run onto the face and cause breakouts.
 5). Drinking too little water-dehydrated skin is dull,so drink 8 to 10 eight-ounce glasses of water a day to hydrate skin and flush out impurities.
 6). Skipping the sunblock/sunscreen -wear it any time you’re outdoors, even on cloudy days.
 7). Stressing out-stress causes worry and frown lines, and it produces hormones that wreak havoc on your skin
8). Not eating several servings of fruits and vegetable each day-they are the best natural source of vitamin and antioxidants, which protects skin cells by neutralizing damaging and ageing free radicals.
 9). Diagnosing and treating breakouts and rashes yourself: Always see a  dermatologist at the on set of any irritation to prevent further eruptions.

 Finally adopt a skincare routine and stick to it. *Drops mic*
