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.

Looking Gorgeous In Your Picture: Sculpt your cheekbones. Emphasize you cheekbones with blush or bronzer to give more illusion, depth and height to your face. Apply your choice of blush or bronzer on each cheekbone in an inverted “V” to give your face more shape
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.

1. Never touch your face, doing so can lead to break outs.
2. Always wash and moisturize your face in an upward motion to help minimize sagging skin in the future.
3. Do not “pop” or squeeze pimples in order not to cause a tiny pit or scar.
4. The easiest way to freshen up makeup during the day is to blot oily areas (nose, forehead & chin) with a tissue then apply a thin layer of foundation.
5. Women of color DO need to protect their skin from harmful elements such as the sun. Be sure to choose a SPF formulated moisturizer to keep skin healthy.
Beauty Quickie: If you are prone to develop dark eye circles it is best to avoid using mascara on your lower lashes. Applying mascara on the lower lashes can cast a shadow causing the area under your eyes to look even darker.

Beauty Quickie: Get brighter, dazzling looking eyes by applying gold eyeshadow right above the lash line as well as the inner corner of the eyes. By applying a light eyeshadow you help open up your eyes bringing them center stage.
Beauty Quickie: Ever wake up in the morning and realize the little corner of product inside your tube of makeup was actually gone days ago? Running out of a beauty product can happen to the best of us but should not cause you anxiety. If you need to prime lids for eye makeup first apply moisturizer followed by foundation. These steps will help lock your makeup in place just like primer.
