Vanity shots. Bawal mag-upload ng 3 albums worth of photos na puro mukha mo lang! Feel kitang i-report! Nag-headband lang, 75 photos agad dapat.

After-jerjer cuddling photos. Wag mag-upload ng pics ninyo ng jowa mo kung saan obvious na wala kayong saplot! Hindi handa ang sambayanan sa bed…

If you are constantly catching yourself licking your lips it could be a sign that you’re dehydrated. Drink more water and exfoliate your lips every other night until your lips become soft and flake free.

485) Try using eye cream on your lips rather then a lip balm before applying lip product, unlike lip balm which tends to sit on top of the lips, eye cream absorbs faster and is packed with more hydrating ingredients.

Concealers.

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:12:00 -0700

Dark circles.

- SHADE/COLOUR: The best shade to correct dark circles is a pink, peach, yellow or orange base toned concealer that is a very similar shade to your natural skin tone. A shade lighter or two can be used to brighten dark circles however you will need to use a concealer with an exact match to your natural skin tone on top. This may result in cakey panda eyes though.

- FORMULA/FINISH: A creamy, lightweight, hydrating concealer should be used under the eye area for best results, preferably one with a slightly illuminating finish. Alternatively if you can’t find one with a illuminating finish use an illuminating pen under your eyes and draw a small upside down triangle and then blend.

- APPLICATION: Concealer for dark circles should be applied directly on the areas of darkness especially by the corner of the eye/side of the nose where their is the most darkness. It is best applied with a concealer brush and blended in with the ring or middle finger as the warmth of your fingers will help to give a more natural looking finish which melts in with the skin.

- ADDITIONAL: For extreme dark circles a corrector can be used underneath the concealer to, alternatively mixing a small amount of orange lipstick/cream blush or primer with a concealer will help to correct darkness. Finish by setting the area with a translucent yellow toned powder on an eye blending brush to avoid creasing and moving. For a full guide on dark circles click here.

Redness.

- SHADE/COLOUR: The ideal shade to correct redness is to use a green toned concealer as this neutralizes the colour. A concealer that patches your skin tone exactly should be placed on top to avoid having a similar appearance to the character ‘Shrek’. If you do not have extreme redness or if you have extremely white skin a skin toned concealer by itself should work fine.

- FORMULA/FINISH: The formula and finish for this is not to important but it really just depends on your skin type and the rest of your makeups finish. Oilier skin types should opt for a more matte version while drier and more sensitive skin types should opt for more creamier versions. Match the finish with the finish of your foundation. ie: Matte foundation = Matte Concealer. Dewy foundation = Dewy concealer.

- APPLICATION: Generally the best way to apply concealer to the area depends on the severeness and the largeness of a red area. Small areas should use a small concealer brush while larger areas should use a larger one, for best results pat in with fingers.

- ADDITIONAL: For redness all over the face use a green toned colour correcting primer to avoid looking cakey, just ensure you don’t apply to much or you will indeed end up having a similar resemblance to Shrek. For a full guide on redness click here.

Scars.

- SHADE/COLOUR: These really are the difficult ones to cover as they come in all shapes and sizes. So my best advice? Embrace them, they make you, you! However if you don’t want to I completely understand so the colouring and shading for this concern depends entirely on the type of scars. For raised scars use a concealer in the same shade as your skin tone and if it still appears raised use a shade darker on top. For scars that leave an ‘indent’ in the skin use a shade that matches the skin tone.

- FORMULA/FINISH: For raised scars any type of concealer works well especially liquids and creams. For ‘indent’ scars you are best to use a resurfacing primer and then a thick waxy concealer.

- APPLICATION: For both scars the best way to apply is to apply it directly on the area. A small concealer brush works best for this sort of application.

- ADDITIONAL: Set with a translucent powder and a blending eye brush to avoid creasing.

Darkness & Acne Scars.

- SHADE/COLOUR: Acne scars and darkness require a similar type of attention as dark circles. The best shade to correct dark acne scars is a pink, peach, yellow or orange base toned concealer that is a very similar shade to your natural skin tone. A shade lighter or two can be used to brighten the darkness however ensure you use a skin tone shade on top.

- FORMULA/FINISH: A thick waxy type concealer with a finish similar to your foundation should be used.

- APPLICATION: Try to only apply the product on the acne scars or discolouration/ darkness themselves rather then over the entire area. For best results a small concealer brush will work as you can add more if needed. It should be applied directly onto the darkness and blended with a brush or your ring finger depending on personal preference.

- ADDITIONAL: For extreme acne scars or discolouration a corrector can be used underneath the concealer. Alternatively mixing a small amount of orange lipstick/cream blush or primer with a concealer will help to correct darkness. For a guide on fading acne scars click here.

Pimples.

- SHADE/COLOUR: This concealer shade should exactly match your skin tone to avoid highlighting the pimple. However if after applying concealer your pimple still appears raised apply a concealer one shade darker onto the raised area. If your pimple has redness use a green toned concealer underneath and finish with a skin toned concealer on top.

- FORMULA/FINISH: The formula and finish of this concealer should be different then your under eye concealer. A concealer which has a thick/waxy formula which dries to a powder finish is the best option, however some liquid concealers work great to. For the best results and an added bonus use a concealer which contains salicylic acid, these treat pimples while covering!

-
APPLICATION: A very small fine tip brush for a precise application, blended with the brush or very lightly with your finger, insure not to spread the concealer to the surrounding skin. Try; Manicare concealer brush, Benefit Cosmetics concealer brush.

- ADDITIONAL: Set with a translucent yellow toned powder on an eye blending brush to avoid creasing and moving. For a full guide on covering pimples click here.

Broken Capillaries & Sun spots.

- SHADE/COLOUR: This concealer shade should exactly match your skin tone to avoid highlighting the area. However if your sun spots are extreme you can opt to use a shade lighter and then a skin tone shade on top. If the broken capillaries are very red then use a green toned concealer then follow with a skin toned shade.

- APPLICATION: A very small fine tip brush for a precise application, blended with the brush or very lightly with your finger, insure not to spread the concealer to the surrounding skin. Try; Manicare concealer brush, Benefit Cosmetics concealer brush.

- ADDITIONAL: Set with a translucent yellow toned powder on an eye blending brush to avoid creasing and moving.

Back to the basics - Cleansing your skin.

One of the most basic rules when it comes to skincare is to remove your makeup before you hit the pillow at night.

Here are the basic facts about why you need to be removing your makeup:

- Sleeping with your makeup on can clog the pores; resulting in acne and breakouts.

- Sleeping with your makeup on can cause skin irritations such as contact dermatitis, redness, eczema and lots of other nasty skin conditions.

- Most makeup contains pore clogging ingredients and other nasty chemicals, leaving them on for long periods of time is potentially dangerous to your skin and your health.

- Sleeping in makeup which contains mineral oil (a petro chemical) can increase skins photo sensitivity and cause acne. (photo sensitivity is where your skin is more sensitive to the sun, shows up wrinkles faster and absorbs more UVA/UVB rays)

- Most makeup contains some SPF even if it’s only a very small amount, and if your makeup didn’t; your skincare used to prep for your makeup would. Normally at least one of the products you are using will contain SPF. SPF is normally Zinc oxide or Titanium dioxide based, when these products are on your skin the skin cannot properly repair itself as these ingredients create a barrier.

- It can cause the skin to come under stress and produce excess oils.

- Your skin needs to be able to breathe.

- Skin needs to be replenished and packed full of nutrients and moisture at the end of each day as it is subject to environmental damage.

- None of your serums, or moisturisers will work to their full potential if you’ve got a layer of makeup between them.

- Wrinkles.
