How do you define makeup? Is it a veil a covering for your face? Does it mask who you are? Or does it show who you want to be and not who you were? How you feel when you are yourself. Makeup should not cover the face to hide the person who you are. Do not hide the bumped nose and those exquisite features. You were made beautifully. Just like paint is not applied to cover the artwork that lies beneath but enhances the beauty of it. Your face is a canvas that hides the master creation within.

Skincare #Two
Hey guys, I'm back with my skin care part two and we are talking about the things that you should participate in to keep your skin healthy. Our bodies are 80 percent water so we have to drink so much water to keep our skin hydrated. To keep our body hydrated you should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. It is important to limit your intake of alcohol and other drinks containing caffeine as they are diuretics that remove water from the body and block the absorption of vitamins and minerals. Exercise is a skin care essential racing heart rate through vigorous exercise increases blood flow brings more oxygen to the skin and cleanses impurities from the body through sweat. Just 20 to 30 minutes of exercise a day is enough to boost your immune system reduce stress lower blood pressure strengthen your heart build stronger bones increase your energy level and improve your mood. Since the metabolism slows with age exercise is fundamental to weight management. Sleep is the time when the body cells have a chance to repair and regenerate. Sleep deprive can stress all the body systems including skin and can result in headaches, irritability, lack of energy, or inability to focus. The skin becomes less elastic and prone to outbreaks of acne or rashes.
♡tip: smile be positive breathe and take a vacation once in a while.
Excess sun exposure is skins number one enemy it causes premature aging, including wrinkles, loss of the skins elasticity and hyperpigmentation. Worst over exposure often causes deadly forms of skin cancer where broad spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (spf) or of at least 15spf in the winter and 30spf in the summer. You have to wear it in the winter as well because the temperature does get colder but the Sun does not go away its deadly raise can still hit your skin and cause all those horrible things.
Smoking also causes the skin to age prematurely. Nicotine impairs the blood vessels that provide skin with both oxygen and nutrients and rid the skin of impurities. It eventually robs the skin of oxygen, causing it to look dull and gray. With low levels of oxygen, the skin loses elasticity, which leads to sagging and wrinkling.
Skin problems can be caused by excessive alcohol intake. Alcohol can cause allergic reactions such as hives and rashes. Some people have allergic reactions to salicylates, which occur in such foods as berries, bananas, beans, grapes, and wine. If a rash appears after you eat these foods, it is likely that beer and wine will also cause outbreaks.
Stressed often shows up on the skin. Stress related hormonal fluctuations can cause adult acne and other skin problems. While healthy eating and exercise habits help to combat the systems of anxiety and stress finding mechanisms to deal with underlying causes of stress is important.
♡Tip: drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day will help flush out toxins and keep all skin types clear.
♡Tip: drink one glass of water each time you have a beverage that contains alcohol or caffeine.
I hope you guys like this. Let me know if you have any questions :)
Have Beautiful Day!

Because I reblog when i am bored...
Hyponotizing Lips
Hey everyone! I'm here with awesome look. I just used a bunch of fun colors and this is definitely not a day look so I don't wanna recommend wearing this out in the day time. But I think this is just a cool fun pink purple ombre look. I started off with priming my lips with chap stick and I just use Burt's Bees chap stick. Then I took my Maybelline lipstick in 635 Very Cherry and I mixed it with Wet and Wild 522 Dark Wine. I did a lighter application of both of these because I just wanted to have a tint of this color. Then I took Noise from the Vice palette it's a really hot pink eyeshadow. I placed that all over my lips and blended it out with the tint. I mixed two purples I took Vice from the Vice palette which is a true purple and it has a bit of shimmer.I put that on the outer corners of my lips so it would create a shadow. The next purple called Rapture from the Vice Palette and I blended it inwards from vice. If you want a true color you could repeat the steps until it looks perfect. You can use any colors that you want.
I hope you guys like this! If you can make this look more wearable during the day post a picture below! :)
Have a beautiful day :)

Be My Valentine

Hey everyone! I know <3Valentines Day<3 is coming up and a lot of you are trying to find a makeup looks for that special day for your Valentine. Even if you do not have a Valentine you can stay home and look beautiful. You can go out with your girlfriends and hang out with them. So in this look I just really wanted an Illuminating glow. Something that would really astound your Valentine. I think I succeeded so I use several eye shadows from the Vice palette and also some other things. I just want to let you know that I did my highlighting and contouring, foundation, and eyebrows all the same. I primed my eyelids with Two Faced Shadow Insurance and for the base color I used laced which is this really dull pink. Then I took Echo Beach and it's this champagne taupe brown color and I applied that all over the lid and right on top of that I took Freebird which is a baby pink. I took a Urban Decay eyeshadow pot in Woodstock and I applied that all into the crease from the inner to the outer corner. Then I took Provocateur which is a really cool glittery shadow and I placed on the outer corners and underneath my lash line. Then because I thought there was not enough dimension I took Nevermind and I put it on the outer corner of the crease. For the cheeks I really wanted a bright pink so I used Covergirl in 110 Classic Pink and I just applied on the apples of my cheeks. Then for my lips I really wanted to stick with the pink theme so I took my favorite lipstick by Sally Hansen in Perfect Pink 1030-04. Then I took this really hot pink eye shadow from the Vice palette called Noise and it's super bright hot pink with a bit of shimmer and I put that on the inside of my lips to give it glow. Then I took a lip gloss by Covergirl in Guava Splash.I really wanted to look the luminous and fresh so I took my Powder Lights by Chanel and I put a little extra on where my highlighted features.That will just give you a bright and beautiful glow. That's it you're ready for your date, for your night out with the girls, and I hope you enjoy this look and I hope your Valentine's Day is beautiful and full of love.
If you don't have a Valentine and I will gladly be your Valentine.:)
I Love You All :)
