How to Fight Wrinkles
Tips on How to Fight Wrinkles
The skin is the biggest organ of the body. It is not only a protective cover for a person’s flesh and bones but a living breathing organ that requires taking care of and proper nurturing. The skin of the face is one of the most sensitive areas of this organ. Without proper care and nurturing, facial skin dries, wrinkles, develop crow’s feet and eye bags around the eyes, sure signs of aging that women want to avoid as much as possible. They say that we are what we eat. But our attitude towards life, our lifestyle and what we ingest in terms of ideas and thoughts to feed our minds in addition to the food that we eat shape the kind of person we turn out to be.
Wrinkles are natural signs of aging, but in some women, the aging process is accelerated not only with bad eating habits but also with bad habits in general. Bad eating habits such as a predilection for refined sugar and processed food and bad habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol are bad news not only for the health but for the skin particularly. Women who love refined sugar and processed foods and drink and smoke to boot are likely to have more wrinkles to show than women who are wiser in their choices.
Sugar makes skin age more rapidly. It affects the elastin and collagen in the skin that results in the skin losing its youthfulness resulting in sagging skin that makes room for wrinkles. While alcohol brings about facial swelling that stretches the skin and cause wrinkles on top of being sugar rich. The effect of cigarette smoking on the skin on the other hand cannot be reiterated enough. Smoking is bad for the health, and worse for skin. It ages skin faster than anything else other than sun damage. If you want to look younger and care about wrinkles then quit smoking.
Now we go to what is good for the skin. Contrary to common beliefs that the sun is bad for the skin, the truth is the sun is good for the skin as long as you don’t bake yourself under its punishing rays. Ten to fifteen minutes of morning sunlight provides Vitamin D and energy to the body. Food that contains antioxidant and essential fatty acids are what the skin need to avoid wrinkles. Vitamins A, B, C, and E are antioxidants and food that contains these vitamins are:
• Spinach, liver, sweet potato, mangoes, carrots, milk, egg yolks are some of the foods with vitamin A
• Vitamin B5 is a B complex vitamin that breaks down oil and promotes healthy skin so does Vitamin B3. Sources of Vitamin B5 are meat, vegetable and unprocessed and whole grains while vitamin B3 is found in poultry, fish, red meat, peanuts and fortified cold and hot cereals.
• Vitamin C forms collagen that is essential for healthy skin. It is found in great quantity in red berries, tomatoes, kiwi, green and red bell peppers, and juices from guava, orange and grape fruit.
Essential fatty acids or the good fats are divided into Omega 3 and Omega 6. The source of essential fatty acids is extra virgin olive oil, virgin coconut oil, walnuts, tofu, and ground flax seeds. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

1. Sleeping with the makeup on. Sleeping with the makeup on will not allow the skin to breathe. This would lead to clogged pores, thus, infection.
2. Wearing full makeup every day. Sometimes, a simple makeup would look great on a woman. Women should not wear full makeup on the daily basis. Just stock on the basic necessities with regards to your makeup, this would include concealer, foundation, lipstick, eyebrow pencils and mascara. When you do not have time to put your eye shadow, then don’t. It is better not to have it on than to look like a painted doll.
3. Go away with greasy concealers. These would only clog your pores around the eye area.
4. Follow the natural contours of your brows. Do not make pencil thin or too thick lines. These will only make you look older.
5. Do not put too much lip gloss. The purpose of the lip gloss is to make your lips shine and be a bit fuller. Do not look like you just have eaten a large piece of pork or you look like as if you have drooled. If fine lines are already showing on the edges of the lips, avoid the lip gloss. It would only emphasize it.
6. Lip color is important. Do not skip it. A splash of color on your lips will brighten your look. Don’t just stick with the usual colors you have in your kit. Step out of your comfort zones and try other colors.

2011 Party Makeup Ideas
Party Makeup Tips & Ideas for Spring, Summer 2011
Choosing makeup to wear to a party can be a tough decision. After all, you don’t want to look to overdone or too under-done. So the question is—how can you avoid this?
Party Makeup Idea Like Cameron Diaz
First of all, choose one thing to focus on. For example, if you plan on wearing super bright lipstick, then you’ll want more muted eyeshadow color. The same goes in reverse if you decide to choose a brighter blush or a brighter eyeshadow. Keep everything else muted and it will all come together nicely.
Second, choose waterproof or long lasting makeup so that you don’t have to constantly reapply it and also so that it doesn’t run down your face while you are dancing or participating in any other kind of activity.
Next, don’t leave out the option of choosing colored mascara or eyeliner. While it may seem a bit unusual at first, it can be a quick and easy way to add a little bit of pizzazz to your overall look without having to pull out the eyeshadow primer.
Which brings us to another point. If you plan on wearing a really bright eyeshadow, then try looking into eyeshadow primer. Eyeshadow primer is a good way to assure that your makeup will stay put as you go throughout the regular day, but is even better for when you decide to go to a party.
Lastly, choose a foundation that doesn’t contain SPF. You don’t need it and it will keep you from looking super washed out while you have your picture taken. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS
How to Prevent Smudgy Lipstick Job

From a young age girls start experimenting with makeup, the result of which is usually a smudgy lipstick job. The problem is that these blunders continue right through the years and become darn annoying. Here are some helpful hints to answer all your lipstick worries.

Lipstick on the teeth
You have all seen it, the girl who looks dazzling with a pretty outfit and seemingly flawless makeup, and then she smiles and there it is for the world to see, lipstick on her teeth. This often occurs when you put too much lipstick onto your lips, which then ends up smudging onto your teeth. The way to deal with this is to take a tissue, roll it up, and place it between your lips and gently remove it. This will get rid of the excess lipstick.
Bleeding lipstick
Lipstick has a tendency of bleeding into the lines that surround your lips. This is partly due to too much lipstick at the edges of your lips and also because there is nothing to keep the lipstick in place. To avoid this you should use lip liner. This will keep your lipstick at bay and prevent it from bleeding, and it has the added advantage of making your lipstick last longer. If you are going to do this then make sure the liner matches the lipstick.
The disappearing act
Lipstick starts to come off from the moment you put it on. While you are talking, eating, drinking, and laughing it will slowly be fading. There are a number of things you can do to ensure that it lasts longer. One way is to use a powder, which helps it to set and not smudge off so easily. The other option is to buy long-lasting lipstick, but always make sure you buy a reputable one.

Choosing a Lip Product
Choosing a Lip Product
Choosing a lip product can be purely up to what you want out of your product. It takes only a few minutes to determine the pros and cons about the certain things and also which product you want to use.
1. Lip gloss provides shine. It can also provide color and give your lips a more three dimensional look. For some, they might find this a bit too much. There are also quite a few lip glosses that are sticky. Unfortunately, quite a few also have the uncanny ability to attract hair. These are also really good for keeping your lips moisturized and there are a few good formulas that provide shine without the stickiness.
2. Lip stains are a more permanent lip color. They also are very drying, can be a bit garish, and look a bit over the top if you accidentally apply too much. However, a good lip stain will last with lip balm, provide good color coverage, and you can layer it in intensity.
3. Lipstick and lip color. These can be messy. They can bleed, fade, pill, and a whole bunch of other things. On the plus side, they’re pretty, intense, and you an layer them, and reapply later. If you put on a good lip liner underneath, you won’t have to reapply quite as often.
4. Long lasting lip color. These can also be drying, but hold up with lip balm very well. They usually have a very smooth texture. They do fade quickly with lip balm use, but if used a little less often, it can generally increase the amount of time it lasts.
Applying Lipstick, Makeup Procedure
Applying Lipstick, Makeup Procedure
Lipstick is the first item girls usually pick out of the makeup bag when it comes to looking fashionable. The problem is that nine times out of ten there is at least one mistake that wreaks havoc. If you are in this situation and just aren’t getting it right then here are a few simple steps you can follow to get the perfect lips.
1. Make sure you have everything ready. This will include tissues, cotton pads, lipstick brush, the right shade of lipstick, cleansing solution, lip liner and translucent powder.
2. The first thing you have to do is clean your lips. This will get rid of any previous lipstick, dirt and grease. Avoid using soap and rather use a special cleansing milk. This can be applied using a cotton ball or pad.
3. Use the lip liner to draw a line around your lips. Depending on how big you want your lips to be you can draw the line within or without the natural border of your lips. This will create the illusion of a change in size or shape of your lips.
4. You can then fill in your lips with lipstick. You can do so directly from the tube, but this does tend to create excess lipstick and you may overfill your lips. Using a brush to fill in your lips is preferred, as it can be applied more smoothly and you won’t have the hassle of excess.
5. Next, take a tissue and roll it up. Put it between your lips and remove it gently. This will help you to get rid of all the excess lipstick so you won’t end up with a smudge or lipstick on your teeth later on.
6. Lightly apply some translucent powder. This will help your lipstick last longer.
