Concealer Gone Wild-Application Tips for Flawless Under Eyes

Alicia Suggs February 4, 2019February 4, 2019Leave a Comment

Beauty Tip: How To Apply Concealer

At times makeup can be a little challenging, but with a little know how as well as practice you can be good to go. Concealer is the perfect product if you are concerned about lessening the appearance of under eye circles and/or bags. Therefore, when Saturday morning rolls around after a fun Friday night you will have no fear facing our dear friend the bathroom mirror.

Nevertheless, we are well aware that it’s not always a night out that may have us reaching for some beauty camouflage. Naturally, many women deal with under eye issues, making learning proper application essential. Moreover, concealer is one of the trickier products because applying too much runs the risk of it instantly showing in photos due to flash lighting or even worse giving off a caked on vibe. Both of which are not very cute beauty looks. Therefore, is there a fool proof method for applying concealer?

How to Apply Concealer

Yes ladies there is: Stare straight ahead in the mirror when applying concealer to cover dark circles. If you look up you will apply way too much. Also, apply the product in the shape of a triangle; with the base underneath the eye and the point going towards the cheek.

Applying it this way creates what’s known as the “triangle of light.” You are able to brighten under the eye; thus reducing the appearance of dark circles. All while you also give your cheek area a little lift. Simple right?

Well, that is our little tricks for a flawless concealer application. How do you conquer dark circles?

The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life!

ArianneUpdated on February 1, 2019January 31, 2019

Beyoncé put out one post and she already has fans shoveling in grass. Okay, that is a little drastic, but the point is that many are now willing to give a vegan diet a try. The GreenPrint Project is a “system” that was created to help people get healthier and in turn sexier by turning to a plant based diet.

As a result, Beyoncé and her hubby, Jay Z are challenging their fans to consume better foods. Both Bey and Jay have been apt vegan dieters and the results are in the vegan pudding. When Queen Bey slims ALL THE WAY down this is the diet secret she uses. Therefore, if it is good enough for the queen, now we all can finally have the body of a celebrity… without the knife or needle.

The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life

So then, how does this all work? Marco Borges, the trainer of Beyoncé and Jay Z; and the mastermind behind GreenPrint Project briefly summarizes it this way,

“The Greenprint is a program for a health transformation. It is also a blueprint for plant-based eating. And, yes, it is vegan, but with a difference.

You don’t have to change every item in your diet. Start with one change like meatless dinners and build on that. The road to well-being starts with making informed decisions that will help you shop, cook, eat and feel better.

Did you know? The best sources of protein are plant based; like beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Love food that loves you back. Love food that will give you health and vitality.”

Want to take the plunge so that you can win some Bey tickets? Well, to get started all you need is a positive attitude, determination, 22 days; along with Marcos Borges 22 Day Nutrition Program. Acook book that tells you everything you have to do.

Yes, you will need to be firmly dedicated for 22 days straight. Why? Well, Borges is utilizing the proven technique that it takes 22 days to make something a habit. So in 22 days you will be more in the swing of things when it comes to eating vegan. So much so you may never go back.

Furthermore, the online 22 Days Meal Planner (which comes as a $14 monthly subscription, so we are not referring to the book in this case); comes with meal plans, assistance and even a food delivery option if you live in certain areas. This will no doubt help you to stay on track and focused on reaching your goal.

Our next post will be pretty in-depth when it comes to the nutrition plan. So if you are really wanting to try this out be sure to read it.

Besides the 22 day plan, picking of The GreenPrint Project book itself will be very helpful. What’s inside? The GreenPrint Project page had this to say,

“The most revolutionary plant-based lifestyle is here! With meal plans, more than 60 delicious recipes; step-by-by guidelines; and inspirational success stories; the book will forever change your approach to food and your perspective on health.”

The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life (Continued)

However, one quick word on the free concerts for life. Yes, the contest is very real. To enter you must sign up online at www.thegreenprintproject.com and pledge to give the vegan lifestyle a try. Must be 18 years and older, plus be a U.S. resident.

If you do win you can expect one free concert per tour. Lastly, the free concerts will only be for up to 30 years. So kinda not quite a lifetime (LOL); BUT, that places Bey and Jay in their 70s-80s so you probably will not miss much.

Janet Jackson Hairstyle -Her New Curly Look for the New Year

At first glance, Janet’s curly do’ seems to be a modern take on an old classic. If you recall back when Got ’til It’s Gone, What About, Go Deep and I Get Lonely was ruling the charts; Janet rocked a head full of glamorous copper-red tone ringlets. The style is a look Janet not only used for her album cover that year, but in a plethora of videos and photoshoots.

Nevertheless, Jackson is back to performing and she seems to be back to one of her iconic hairstyles, i.e. VR days. Fans got a first glance and glimpse thanks to photographer, Solaiman Fazel. Fazel captured Janet backstage getting ready before she hit the stage out west in the United States. Janet was performing in the city that never sleeps, Las Vegas.

Now while there is a hard, fast rule that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Jackson’s new look broke that unspoken standard in all of two seconds. Janet Jackson posted a pic of herself posed in front of a mirror in all her curl glory with the caption, “New Year, new look.”

Will this iconic queen keep this look for the rest of the year? Probably not, because she is the master of reinvention. However, for now we love it and are glad to still she here switching up her chic hair game.
