I was very thankful that I have a Belle De Jour 2010 planner! It's definitely a life saver for someone like me, someone who tends to forget almost everything hahaha! It's really a power planner and it even gave me an article to share here!
I was just browsing my BDJ this afternoon and I saw this page where it says "7 Foolproof Makeup Tricks". I read it and I really like it! I want to share it to you too! I'd be more than happy if you will comment on this post too :)
7 FOOLPROOF MAKEUP TRICKS BY BELLE DE JOUR
Makeup makes a world of difference. Putting it on is simple enough - but it takes some skill to do it right and keep it on. Here are some makeup secrets that'll help you look good all day long.
1. Foundation Basics. Start with a clean face. Then, apply moisturizer, sunscreen, or primer to hydrate your skin. Let the moisturizer, sunscreen or primer set for a few minutes. Get rid of any excess substance with a tissue. If you're using liquid foundation, use a makeup sponge or the tips of your fingers to apply dots of foundation on your cheeks, chin, forehead, and the tip of your nose. Blend the dots together. Pay special attention to your hairline and jawline to ensure there's no obvious line. If you're using powder foundation, place some on the same spots and then blend as well. Set the foundation with loose powder immediately after application.
2. Concealer Primer. Dab some dots of concealer on the blemished spots on your face. Next, place moisturizer on your face, then apply powder or liquid foundation. Blend it in with the concealer.
3. Eyeliner Notes. To prevent eyeliner from easily dissolving in a pool of sweat or tears, apply a think layer of foundation before you line your eyes. For a natural-looking eyeliner and the illusion of thick lashes, use a dark brown eye pencil and carefully press a series of dots between your lashes following your lash line.
4. Lip Service. Make your lip color last longer by placing a coat of lip gloss before applying lipstick and lip liner that matches the shade of your lips. Before drawing a line with the lip liner, begin by dotting it at various points along the outline of your lips. Then, drawing very lightly, use the liner to connect the dots. Then, top it off with another coat of lip gloss.
5. Glam Eyes. To get smoky eyes, use dark pencil eyeliner to bring out your eyes. Choose eye shadows in rich browns, deep grays, and dark reddish hues. You may opt to use brown mascara on your bottom lashes and black for your top lashes. For a little bit of a "cat's eyes" look, extend the liner just slightly past the outer corner of your eye, extending it upward. Apply a coat of black mascara to your eyelashes. If you want to attach fake lashes, you can apply the mascara to both the fake lashes and your natural lashes to help them blend together. You may choose shimmer eye shadows. You can also try jewel-toned or metallic hues such as gold or silver.
6. Best brow. Tame your messy brows brushing them straight up with an eyebrow brush or a dry toothbrush. Draw short, feathery strokes on the hairs around the sparse areas. use an eyeshadow, which matches your brows to make the desired shape. Press some powder lightly onto the area before you brush them back to their natural shape.
7. Touch up Tactic. You can freshen up your skin and touch up your makeup fast by lightly misting your face with toner and then patting with a tissue. Finish with a dusting of loose powder.
