How to create a natural eye using 3 colours

2010-01-09T08:16:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wanted to apply eyeshadow but don't know how?
A website i have come across which i thought would be useful to all the ladies out there! I learnt it too. haha

It says a natural look is obtained by subtle blending of 3 eyeshadow shades.

- For a natural makeup, use a light shade of eye shadow. Apply the lightest shade as a base on the whole eye lid area up to the brow bone. Even the shadow out with a firm applicator.
- Next apply a medium shade to the eyelid area only. Blend the 2 shades.
- With another applicator, use a medium to darker eyeshadow shade. Apply along the base of the eyelashes, shading it off upwards at the outer corner of the eye.
- If you feel like trying something a little different or you want to experiment with colour, use an iridescent shade of eyeshadow and apply it to the centre of the eye lid. If you want to add colour, pop a bright onto your lid or frame your eye with blue eyeliner. This will intensify the makeup.
- Add mascara and voila, you have the perfect, natural, contoured eye.

For a darker smokey eye look, apply darker shades or more of your day colour to deepen the tone.

Here are some tips based on your eye colour!!

BROWN EYES:
Brown, Ivory and natural tones will always work for you. Shades of green and pink will make your eyes pop and blue will contrast with your brown eyes. With blue eyeshadow, my general rule is to use a hint of blue along the lash line and top it up with eyeliner. Blue shaded eyes seem to be hot on the catwalk right now.

BLUE EYES:
Try earth tones, brown, taupe, ivory and greys. Plums and Purples are great for blue eyes.

GREEN AND HAZEL EYES:
Purple eye shadow makes green and hazel eyes pop. Purple is great for a more dramatic look and it will make your eyes look even greener. Browns, gold, taupe and ivory work really well with dark purple tones.

Have fun in eye-shadow-ing, ladies!!

"Age is an issue of mind over matter." If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Do you mind?

I guess all ladies mind. Guys?

It says male grooming and cosmetics is now a US$44-million ($61-million) global industry. Market research firm Mintel reported that there were 500 new men's grooming products in the United States alone last year, up from 375 launched in 2007.
~ So men also want to look good! haha

Unless you are Benjamin Button, everyone ages!

Guys out there! Start taking care of your skin too, don't regret when your skin becomes too dry and or wrinkled like ...

Dress Smarter to Minimize a Big Belly

2009-10-27T22:44:00.000-07:00

Ever have the problem of that excess flab around the stomach area which makes skirts too tight?
Fret not.Here I have a few fashion tips to disguise a large stomach.

Jeans
Rather than making the effort to squeeze in,buying one-size up can actually make a woman's figure look smaller.For women with a large tummy,don’t go low waist even though they may be fashionable.A mid-to-high waist will avoid drawing attention to the stomach area.(High waisted jeans and pants are coming back into fashion)Squeezing into a pair of jeans which feels uncomfortable and tight will create an unsightly excess of fat.Darker tone also slims,compared to whitewashed or stonewashed denim.

Leggings
Wear a longer top or dress to cover the stomach,bottom and hips.Avoid wet look leggings.A great pair of look at-me-shoes works just as well.

Skirts
A high waisted pencil skirt will smooth out the tummy area whereas a full skirt with pleats tend to add bulk around the middle.Avoid prints and heavy detailing.

Discover the best style and shape that suits you so that you can feel confident and attractive.Create the effect you desire!

Ripped Stocking Street Style

2009-10-26T02:32:00.000-07:00

Who says torn stocking cannot be worn?
Hello dears, help is here! Save your stockings, save the earth, haha!

Ripped Stocking Style

Alexander Wang Autumn (Fall)/Winter 2008 Runway

Ripped stocking is one of the rarer trends to be far more popular on the streets than on the runways.

Looks good on girlish outfit

Eye-catching with streetwear, brightens up her overall image.

Despite the plain black outfit, this girl makes the ripped stockings trend feel fresh.

Feel like trying? But how to wear it?

Here are some tips:

A corporate skirt-suit and a pair of stockings with a little ladder or two just looks like an unfortunate run-in with a sharp fingernail.

Studded boots, a black mini and your shredded tights/stockings should make you the attention of all guys and girls.

For those who are into street style, can consider trying this one day!
Maybe on one glance without thinking, people would think that your stockings were torn. But well, people who know about ripped stockings trend will regard you as one of the in thing. (:::

Bracelets Fetish

2009-10-18T03:34:00.000-07:00

Headache with what accessories to match with your outfit?

Earings? Necklaces? Hairbands? Try using bracelets and bangles to spice up your image!

I am having fetish for bracelets and bangles lately!
One of my favorite accessories shop is Accessorize, it has all the accessories I need to match most of my outfits.

Every bracelet creates different style, different feelings, and the different YOU.

Love them all!

Jumpsuits

2009-10-17T23:45:00.000-07:00

Wondering if this trend is for you?I think it sure is - there’s a perfect jumpsuit out there for all of us!Just keep your eyes open and when you find it,be quick and go for it!

One way to avoid the short jumpsuit looking like a piece of pajama is to style it up with elegant accessories.E.g A trendy belt.I think large earrings and headbands as well as large purses would look great.If you are going to go for a comfy yet trendy look,you can opt for the longer version.In my opinion,satin jumpsuits are great for a night out!Sexy and elegant.What is your opinion?

Are you already the lucky owner of a jumpsuit and how do you like to style them?

---All the kinds of things... contrary to what the look is,... I could do a high heel with a jumpsuit,or I might do a gown with a desert boot.So it's,again,the contradiction.-Ralph Lauren---

The prayer of St Francis
Make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.

Lipstick Attitude

2009-10-08T21:39:00.000-07:00

Fashion is a big part of our society and of our culture. All women want to look their best from head to toes.Another thing that we shouldn't neglect is our lips.Which means it's time to get serious about lipstick.

Nude lipstick,to be exact.

Nude lips are about the same,or even slightly lighter than your actual skin tone.

Don't even think about reaching for the lip gloss for now!

What Color Lipstick Looks Best on Angelina?

Angelina Jolie has been rocking the nude lips look for some time with eye-makeup.With that pout,she doesn't need bright colors to draw attention to her lips!

Fashion Definition

2009-10-07T22:56:00.000-07:00

Fashion Fashion, what is fashion.

In wikipedia, Fashion refers to the styles and customs prevalent at a given time. In its most common usage however, "fashion" describes the popular clothing style.
Yes prevalent at a given time, do you all still remember baggy jeans, super bell-bottom and heavy platform we used to wear during school days. Fashion alive only for a period of time.

Nowdays i think clothes and shoes were designed in such a way that they won't easily go out of fashion, buyers willing to spend their money to buy that kind of designs so that they could wear or keep them for long.
Or perhaps it really depends on how well a person can mix and match?
I have tons of clothes in my wardrobe, some exist since my poly days til now, are they already out-of fashion? I threw most of them, but some(really some) can still be used to do pairing and matching. like a flower tube goes well with an off shoulder. just an example. haha

I was surfing net and came across this picture below. I suppose the picture was taken in Japan.

I was thinking if they were heading to some parties or events, geared up to fit to the theme. If not, do they normally dress like this to shopping in Japan? How cool!

Have been to Japan, not tokyo but one part of Japan named Nagoya, though this place is not the most busier city, but ladies there are still attractive. Big curls, thick long hair, golden hair, big buns, thick and black eyelashes, long stockings, many layers of clothings, long boots, colourful heels, fashionable clothes, lovely shoes... words to describe, daring, stylish, and hot!

My research says there are 5 countries which renowned for their major influence on global fashion and are headquarters to greatest fashion companies.

They are are Tokyo, London, Paris, Milan and New York.
Let's see..

Tokyo

London

Paris

Milan

New York

A small research to satisfy my curiousity about FASHION!

Keep-going!
