Beauty Quickie: Mascara should only be found on your eyelashes but it always seems to find its way elsewhere i.e. on eyelids and the under eye area. Prevent this by making sure your mascara is set and dry. Set mascara by using the cool setting on your hair dryer and give lashes a quick blast of air.

Nude lips are basically a makeup look where the lip shade matches your skin tone. The key is to find a tint that makes lips appear nude or blends seamlessly with your skin color without having the lips go missing from the face. You still want your lips to look like they are there, it is just a more toned down or muted lip look.
There are some who believe darker skin tones cannot wear a nude lip, but regardless of your skin shade always remember that nude lips will not look right if you do not find the right color. In my own beauty escapades it took quite a few attempts in order to find a shade that I liked. For me, mixing browns also helped me to achieve the look that I felt came across “nude.” Here is how I achieve this look:
1. Exfoliation: Dry, flaky lips will be VERY visible with this look so be sure to use a toothbrush to gently massage away any dead skin.
2. Lip Liner: I like to line my lips with a brown pencil that is a shade or two darker than than the lip color I plan to use. The liner not only keeps my lip color from running away, but the contrast of light and dark makes my lips really pop.
3. Fill Em’ In: I use a brown lip pencil or even brown eye liner to fill my lips in so that the lipstick will have a good base to adhere to and stay put. Yes, I have many brown eyeliner pencils that I use for my lips, cheeks or you name it. I find some products work in a multi-purpose way so why reinvent the wheel especially if the color looks great on you?
4. Color: Apply the lipstick or lip color you feel matches your skin tone best making sure the color extends even to the corners of the mouth. The nude effect will only look natural if all areas are matching your skin.
5. Shine Like a Diamond: If your lip shade is not specially formulated to add lustrous shine a simple swipe of lip gloss will do the trick.
Beauty Quickie: Beauty experts agree that mascara should just be left to the top lashes. Nevertheless, if you want to give your eyes the appearance of being wider then apply mascara to the bottom lashes as well. Always seem to get mascara everywhere when applying product to the bottom eyelashes? Try placing a tissue under the lower lashes before application to cut down on any beauty messes.

Beauty Quickie: When applying mascara you should wiggle the wand as you pull it through from roots to tip. Wiggling separates the lashes making them look fuller and not all stuck together.

Beauty Quickie: To begin, most lengthening mascara formulas are made to give the illusion of more length. To get the most bang for your buck place the products wand right there the roots, not at the tips. Only applying mascara at the tips of strands will not give you the longer lash effect. It’s the mascara that is placed right at the roots that gives lashes the illusion of length.

Elle Mexico LOADING S.2 With Model Jessica Strother. We love this street pop art vibe of this spread. Strother is wearing street-wear the right way. A little slouchy but with a since of fun. The makeup is on point as well. It’s all about a clean face with a pop of fuchsia on her lips. The color looks great on her skin tone. It also shows that girls with thick lips can wear beautiful bright colors as well and look fab.
Like fashion, sometimes us girls can find ourselves in a bit of a beauty rut. The same colors, techniques and products are applied day after day till you look in the mirror contemplating if what you really need is a new fashion style or haircut. Therefore, we say mix things up a little and live life on the beauty edge here and there!
Giambattista Valli’s Giamba Spring 2015 Fashion Show highlighted a very daring eyeliner look. The eyeliner literally floated above the models’ eyes. To pull off this look in the real world it is important to keep the rest of the face quite natural.
The eyeliner is really the focal point and should be left to stand out alone. During the show makeup artist Val Garland used a creme liner by M.A.C. to achieve this beauty look but cremes are not always long-lasting which could cause your eyeliner look to do a disappearing act as the day rolls by. Prevent this by using an eyeliner pencil so that the design will stay all day.

Beauty Quickie: Jojoba oil is great for your hair and can also be used to remove eye makeup which is perfect if you ever find that you are out of your regular remover. Some may shy away from using it, feeling as though it will not thoroughly remove tougher cosmetics such as hardened mascara. You will be surprised upon using this product to watch it gently break apart and abstract any eye makeup. To use, massage the jojoba oil with a cotton ball over the eye area then wash face as normal.
