Moreover, they do not require much time and energy to be used. Another benefit of face masks is that they can also be prepared from daily household items, right at the comfort of your home.

How to Buy a Lip Liner?

It is very important that you pick the right lip liner, when it comes to your beauty shopping. Infact, cosmetics of any kind demand that we devote some time and have some idea regarding what we are looking for. Random shopping never helps, when it comes to picking products that are required to complement your looks. Moreover, with such a wide variety of cosmetic brands in the market, one tends to get confused as to which brand, shade or quality of lip liner will do the magic trick. A lip liner can accentuate your lips and give them the perfect precision and shape that you always desired. Similarly, a lip liner that doesn’t gel well with the shade of your lipstick can spoil your entire facial make up. Here are a few things that you need to keep in mind before you shop for your next lip liner.

How to Buy a Lip Liner

First decide which brand of lip liner you would like to go for. Different brand of lip liners are available in the market for different prices. You may take the advice of your beautician in this regard or simply choose a brand that you feel you can trust.

Next, decide if you would like to go for a wooded pencil type or a twist-up type liner. Twist-up liners are more convenient, as they do not require sharpening. Wooded pencils on the other hand provide a fresh and a fine point every time you sharp them.

Next understand if you are buying the liner to simply outline your lips, to fill your lips (like lipstick) or both.Choose a simple stick if you plan to use it in order to give shape to your lips. If you plan to use it like a lipstick, you can choose a liner that comes with a lip coloring stick and a brush.

If you are buying a liner to use it with a particular lipstick that you already have, see that its shade is similar to your lipstick or may be a shade lighter. Never pick one that is of a darker shade than your lipstick. You may also pick a neutral shade that goes with different shades of lipstick.

You may choose a long lasting lip liner that stays longer and is preferable if you have a busy lifestyle. You can put it under your lipstick for a long-stay effect. Otherwise, you may also go for a liner that might require some touch up every now and then.

How To Buy Lipstick

So, you think buying a lipstick is easy? Think again! A lot of women (including me!) find themselves completely lost and helpless when it comes to buying the perfect lipstick. Well, you may like that lovely shade of matt pink, but would it go with your skin tone? Maybe you love all those five shades of red-brown, but are you ever going to wear all of them or would they be an addition to your existing collection of ‘non-usable’ lipsticks? Sounds familiar? We are here to your rescue. In the following lines, you will provide instructions and tips as to how to select that perfect shade of lipstick for yourself. So, read on!

How to Buy Lipstick
Go to a store that sells reputed brands. You are likely to find a great selection there. Make sure you have a certain color or shade in mind before you start choosing. If you are looking for browns, then go through their collection of brown shades, and so on.

Once you have assorted a few shades out for yourself, open one and lift it up till your mouth. See if it suits your face complexion. Avoid using the lipsticks on lips, hands and palms, as it is very unhygienic. If they have testers, just dab a little on the skin behind your palm and check it in sunlight. There is a lot of difference when you check colors in natural and artificial light.

Check the ingredients that have been used. Since you tend to lick your lips often, you tend to swallow lipstick too. So, make sure what goes inside is at least harmless, if not palatable!

A good thought would be to go in for two different shades all together. It will favor most of your clothes. Buy a brownish or reddish-brown shade for clothes that are beige, black, green, yellow, etc. Get another shade in maroon, mauve or pink (depending on your skin tone) that will compliment dresses that are in blue, pink, white, etc.

Don’t buy a lipstick just because the sales assistant thinks it is good! Trust your instincts and love what you buy. In case your lipstick doesn’t stay for a long time or vanishes fast, consider buying a long lasting one.

It is better to go in for matt lipsticks than the glossy ones. They last longer and bleed less and even if you want a shiny look, you can always add some natural gloss after applying the lipstick.

How To Buy Sunscreen

The sun spares nothing, whether it is a dense forest or your exposed skin. The notion is not new and perhaps all of us know that the sunrays can be harmful. Though you cannot stop moving out of your house, you can guard yourself with adequate clothing, a hat and glasses. However, such protection isn’t viable at all times, so all you can do is use sunscreen lotion which is quick and easy means to shield yourself from the Sun. Now the point is which sunscreen to buy since the market is loaded with many brands and to choose the right one is a big deal. Don’t worry, here we are providing some requisites of a good sunscreen to help you buy the correct one for yourself.

To start with, make out the distinction between a sunscreen and a sunblock. A sunscreen could be any form of product, having a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or less. An SPF of 15 indicates that it would take 15 times longer to burn the skin with the sunscreen than without. An SPF of 30 or more is found in a sunblock.

If you have fair skin, use a sunblock with SPF 30 or more and you need it especially more between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m, when you’re at high altitude, near the equator, or outside in a sunny day. It is essential for everyone, including kids. Throughout the life-span, skin mostly gets damaged before the age of 18. Fair-skinned people require more protection.

Ensure that your sunscreen is marked ‘broad spectrum’ as it will shield against, both UVA (ultraviolet-A) and UVB (ultraviolet-B) rays. If you are over-exposed to the Ultraviolet radiation, it increases the risk of basal-cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma.

Make out what protection you’re receiving. A sunscreen with SPF 15 provides you 94 to 95% UVB coverage, while SPF 28 gives you up to 96% coverage.

If you remain outside for longer duration daily, purchase zinc oxide or titanium oxide (or dioxide) to guard your ears, nose and lips. Such opaque and chemical-free sunblocks are perfect for sensitive skin. Z-Cote is the latest product that offers zinc-oxide protection. It is transparent; therefore you can evade that whitest look.

If you do swimming or sweat a lot, then but a water-resistant or waterproof sunscreen.

In case you’re allergic to certain skin products, go for PABA-free, fragrance-free and hypoallergenic sunscreen. Take a patch-test on your skin to verify whether the sunscreen is actually non-allergic.

If you’re prone to breaking out, choose a sunscreen which is noncomedogenic as it will not block the pores.

Based on your personal liking, select from the range of lotions, gels, ointments, wax sticks and sprays. Wax sticks are usually for lips. For restless kids, sprays can be an easy job.

30 minutes before going out in the Sun, sunscreen should be applied liberally to the exposed parts. Reapply the sunscreen in every two hours, or more frequently if you sweat too much.

How To Buy Bronzer

A tanned look to the complexion imparts a healthy glow. In fact, this glistening look has now become a part of the latest fashion. However, the actual tanning could be harmful for skin and thwart the preferred upshot. To evade such situation, bronzer is a wonderful provisional solution that also aids to conceal blemishes and enhance features. With a little patience and right knowledge, you can buy the right bronzer matching your skin tone. L'Oreal, Avon, Nivea, Olay and Revlon are some of the best brands for bronzer in India. Follow the steps and give your skin a sun-kissed glow.

Procedure
Check out the stores and explore your options. Make certain that you're not allergic to the bronzer you select, by reading-through the constituents mentioned on the packet.

Decide the kind of coverage you would prefer, because bronzer can be applied to your entire face (including neck) or simply over key areas for enhancing features like cheeks.

Select the type of bronzer that can do best with your skin. Bronzer comes in the form of spray, liquid and powder. Try to find one which has numerous different shades so as to provide a more natural tan look to your skin.

Match the bronzer anchored in your skin tone. It must create a natural tan look, without getting too dark. So, the bronzer must be just a few shades darker than your natural skin tone.

For application, take the appropriate applicator that goes well with your type of bronzer. A sponge-like applicator or fingers work fine for liquid, while a blush or powder brush work great for a loose bronzer.
Tips
Don’t go by the attractive packaging, but use your sense and refer the steps to land yourself in safe situation.

If you have fair complexion, go for a honey-colored bronzer and a rose-bronze or gold flecked bronzer in case of medium skin tone. For dark complexion, a tawny or amber bronzer is the best one.

While using powdered bronzer, buy a large and soft brush. Select a wide and fluffy powder brush, having a rounded top. A very small and stiff brush can lead to blotchy results.

How To Apply Eye Shimmer

How often have you envied those celebrities in Page3 parties looking absolutely stunning with those ultra-glamorous eyes? Well, you can definitely have such lovely eyes in less than 20 minutes! All you need to have is appropriate eye shimmer, make up brush and patience! Follow these tips and guidelines given below that will tell you the correct way to apply eye shimmer. So get set, make heads turn and hypnotize people as you confidently strut in that club with those glamorous eyes.
Wash your face thoroughly and tap it dry with a towel. Apply some moisturizer just in case you have dry skin. Blend it nicely around your eyes and make sure it is evenly spread.

Apply concealer/compact all over the face and blend it evenly around the eyes to conceal dark circles, fine lines, moles, etc. Apply make up to the rest of the face before proceeding to the eyes.

Apply a bit of eye shadow to define the color and match it according to your attire. If you have an eye pencil of the same color, you can line the lower lid of your eyes with it.

Now very carefully take a bit of the eye shimmer on a brush. Apply it gently over the eye lid in one direction, preferably from inside to outside. If you are not confident about the powder shimmer, just wet your brush a bit and squeeze out excess water with your fingertips. Now, ‘draw’ a fine line with it over the eye lid.

Dip the tip of the brush in the powder and gently drag it over that wet line. The powder will stick nicely to your eyes. If you feel you have taken a bit too much of eye shimmer, just blot it out carefully with a tissue.

Cream based eye shimmer is easier to apply. You need to have a spongy flat brush to apply it evenly. Dust it with a hint of translucent powder for a glamorous look.

If you want to be innovative and not use the shimmer on eye lids, follow this. Sprinkle some eye shimmer on your mascara brush and apply it on your lashes. It looks fabulous and lends a distinct look to you

How To Choose Eyebrow Pencils

An eyebrow pencil gives your brows a well-defined shape and makes them appear uniform. If your eyebrows are very thin or very pale, eyebrow pencils help in giving them the perfect contour that brings the focus of the onlooker to your eyes. It also lends a vibrant touch to your face, making your face look more expressive and bright. Eyebrow pencils are available in different brands, colors and types. So, it is necessary that you understand how to choose the right eyebrow pencil for yourself. An eyebrow pencil that does not go well with your face might make you look like a frowning mask or give you the appearance of an ugly mannequin. Learn these quick tips that will help you to pick the right eyebrow pencil for yourself and do full justice to the beauty of your face.

How to Buy Eyebrow Pencils
First decide which brand of eyebrow pencil you would like to go for. There are various options for you to choose from. Don’t go for cheap brands, as you might easily get allergic to them. Pick a good brand that you trust.
Decide if you would like to go for a wooded pencil or a twist-up eyebrow pencil. Generally wooded pencils provide you a sharp point and hence fine lines. The twist-up pencils glide more easily and come with a brush.
Next see that the tip of the eyebrow pencil is not very hard and has a dry finish. It is difficult to draw fine strokes with a hard pencil. Continuous strokes with a hard pencil will make your eyebrows look very unnatural.
Eyebrow pencils come in different colors. Choose a one that is closest in color to the color of your hair. Pick a soft black pencil if you have dark black hair. Ask the salesperson to guide you, if necessary.
Some bold colors are also available in the market (like metallic green, purple and sapphire). You can try them if you have a bohemian sense of dressing and generally prefer the unconventional look. Avoid otherwise.
You can buy an eyebrow pencil that has a shimmering effect or simply buy a gold eyebrow pencil. This will accentuate your brows during the night and make them ideal for parties.
You can also choose a long lasting or waterproof eyebrow pencil, if you don’t find time for frequent touch-up. Try eyebrow pencils from Christian Dior. They sometimes last for 2-3 days.
