How to Do Smoky Eye Makeup
0578 days
Isabel Anderson asked:
Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan and almost all of the hot girls on the block have done it. It will be just another hour and you wouldn’t wish to show up on the party with the cold, not-so-hot, old trick makeup you yourself wish to be over with. Learning how to do smoky eye makeup should be on the top of your list, unless you want to disappear in obscurity.
An eyeshadow application starts with a good eye base applied in the entire eyelid. Make sure that the eyebase is of good quality, one that does not melt and cakes into the creases of your eyelids. Apply a dark colored eyeshade sheer stick on the lower part of the eyelid, sweeping and blending the dark tone up to the crease line of the eyes. Place a little extended arch, as in a rainbow a little over the outer side of the crease, making sure that the application on the two eyes is on the same level and even.
Then using a medium sized eye shadow brush, dip on a deep purple pigment eyeshadow and dab it on top of the dark eyebase. Deep purple is recommended for green eyed or blue eyed gals, while dark brown suits the brown eyed women. The hue of smoky eyes can be achieved thru the eyeliner which need to be applied on the upper eyelash. A gray or a brown smoky eyes can be achieved using an eyeliner with those colors. Apply a thicker line in the middle part of the eyelash line. The key word in a creating smoky eyes is to blend. Smudge and blend this lighter eyeliner in upward motion for creating a smoky effect.
The next step is to apply a lighter based eye shadow color on the upper side of the eyelid. Sweep this light shade back and forth all over the upper lid to the browbone. Use an eye shadow brush to blend the color upward from the lash line. You will know that the blending and smoky effect is achieved when the eyeliner disappears with your upward strokes. Put eyeliners as well under the eyes for definition and smudge along with the upper eyelash line. Add a shimmering black shade by lightly sweeping the edge of the eyes, along the eyelined part with a soft edged brush.
Check whether the two eyes are evenly done and make adjustments. The good thing with smoky eyes is that you can never go wrong with over doing it. A well blended dark shade will have the right smoky effect when properly blended. You can always add a darker shade if you want more impressions. Just remember to blend along the way and keep the dark shade on the lower eyelid, not on the upper part below the brows. Needless to say, create your smoky eyes in a well lit room to save time and avoid mistakes.
Knowing how to do smoky eye makeup will not only raise your star quality, it will also save you a lot of money. For all you know, the smoky trend might linger for quite a while.

Eyelash Extensions – A Road to Fame!
0626 days
Sunny Suman asked:
Fame is one of the prime needs of all of us. We all want to be a known personality in this world, by whatever means we can. A few of us get this fame through the good means, but many others don’t and they walk the wrong path for achieving fame.
Looking beautiful is another legal road towards achieving fame and can be walked by anybody, specially the ladies. Beauty catches attention and in fact all the beauty contest winners have become famous through this path only. Almost all of the famous Hollywood stars like Nicole Kidman, Star Jones, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, Lucy Liu, Naomi Campbell and Liz Hurley to name a few. You don’t have to be a celebrity to wear them though they can help you become one. Women everywhere are catching on and becoming Lash Addicted! It has become increasingly trendy for women to flaunt their natural look with eyelash extensions. And the craze is well above any other beauty technique.
Whether you have desires for thicker eyebrows to bring beauty over your face, or the longer ones, eyelash extensions is a sure shot technique for both. Each human eye has about 200 lashes. The lashes usually grow in 3 rows and have a lifespan of 60 to 90 days.
Size, thickness, colours all are available in plenty providing enough choices to the people who want to look beautiful through this method. Short lashes are 6 and 8 mm; medium are 10 and 12 mm; and long are 13, 14, and 15 mm. The medium lashes are the most popular lengths. Lashes also vary in thickness from.10 mm which is thin to.15 mm which is thick and point.020 which is very thick. Demand is more of the black colour, but the other varieties too are able to attract enough attention as they enable any person to wear beauty of their own kind and in their own way. It may help a person to have an eyelash suiting to one’s own style and choice.
Though not everywhere, eyelash extensions centres are available in most of the cities like Brisbane, Queensland, Cleveland, etc.

How to Lose Weight Fast, Safely, and Right Now
0661 days
Melissa Leanne Davies asked:
If you are looking for how to lose weight fast, safely, and inexpensively then I have a solution for you.
This solution took me a while to figure out due to years of trial and error dieting. First I tried low fat diets and then I tried low carb diets. Both of which made me feel like I was missing something crucial in my usually healthy diet.
By cutting important fats or carbs out of my food intake I was feeling more and more irritated by the day. It didn’t feel natural, I was hungry and low on energy all the time and all the various diet programs were becoming very expensive.
As much as you are asking yourself, “how to lose weight fast safety”, I’m sure you asking yourself “how can I make losing weight enjoyable?” After all my dieting, I was asking the same question. Chances are you aren’t going to stay on a diet that is making you feel miserable or tired. I certainly couldn’t. So, isn’t there a way to lose weight fast, safely, and enjoyably?
Yes, here’s how.
All it takes is a change in your current eating pattern. Most of us eat three good sized meals a day. By changing this pattern to five smaller meals a day, you will be releasing more fat burning hormones (which are normally released after you eat). You will be boosting your metabolism and thus burning more calories. With the smaller portions you will notice that you won’t be hungry (because you are eating more often), but that your body won’t feel so bogged down with food. It takes our body quite a bit of energy to burn off calories, so if we can boost our metabolism with the smaller more frequent meals, we will have an easier time burning those calories.
Most diet programs won’t tell you this simple yet profound method for losing weight because they want people to continuous buy their product. When it comes to weight loss programs, I have only found one I trust. I trust what it suggests because I see results fast and it didn’t cost me much at all.

Try the Brazilian Blow Dry For Frizz-Free Hair This Summer!
0664 days
As the temperature hots up the last thing we want to be doing this summer is battling unruly locks with hairdryers and straightening irons. Even if your hair is not normally frizzy, the humidity of summer will definitely bring out the worst in your hair. The sun, sweat and the chlorine from the pool are all a recipe for disaster and could seriously ruin your holiday look! If like most women you have spent many hours choosing the perfect bikini and compiling your capsule holiday wardrobe, the last thing you want is for your hair to let you down.
If the idea of wearing little dresses and flip flops gets you all excited but the frizzy hair that comes with the humidity of summer does not then do not fear, you don’t have to put up with it. Neither will you need to pile on the products or spend valuable sun-bathing time straightening your unruly mane. The Brazilian Blow Dry will smooth, hydrate and straighten your locks and you will be left with not a bit of frizz. Sound too good to be true? Well it isn’t! The treatment will keep your hair frizz-free for up to three months and no matter what sort of humidity levels you encounter, you can be sure that your hair will remain smooth and sleek. This treatment is perfect for a summer holiday as you won’t need to worry about your hair at all, you can go from the pool to the beach to the bar with perfectly smooth glossy without a straightening iron in sight!
The Brazilian Blow Dry treatment is a favourite among a-list celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie and Elizabeth Hurley. You only have to look at pictures of them on the red carpet to see that this treatment really does work! The Brazilian Blow Dry works by using a keratin-rich product which is applied directly to your locks which can take anywhere from one-and-a-half to four hours depending on the length and condition of your hair. The solution is then sealed with a hot iron and styled to the preference of the client. The next three days after the solution is applied are critical as you must not get your hair wet, tie your hair up, use any hair grips or head bands or even tuck your hair behind your ears as this will cause the hair to set with kinks or marks in it. Once the three days are up you are free to do what you like with your hair and you are sure to be delighted with your new silky smooth tresses!
The best bit about the treatment is that for the first time ever, girls who suffer from unruly curls or frizz will be able to literally wash their hair and go! Even if your hair is naturally very curly, you won’t need to spend very much time at all styling it. This really is a godsend for those of us who face a daily styling battle with our unruly locks. The treatment is also none damaging as the keratin used is a protein that is naturally found in hair, skin and nails. The treatment can actually improve the condition of your hair instead of damaging it as some other traditional straightening or relaxing methods can.

Martin Sanchez asked:
Celebrities … We know they aren’t ‘real’ people, but we can’t help being obsessed with their seeming perfection anyway! If you’ve ever craved a celebrity body, and wondered why wishing didn’t make it so, here’s the top secret of celebrities – get a personal trainer! Having someone waiting there for you at the gym, so you can’t skip out, having someone to encourage you when you feel like setting the treadmill at 7 instead of 12, and having someone to guide you through a plan and tell you you’re doing great make an enormous difference. If you’re either ready to push yourself to that level, enlist a friend or family member to drill you, or hire your own trainer, here are what the celebs do to get their sexy abs!
Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan uses the world-famous abs diet, which includes 12 ab-power foods … a fancy name for 12 sensible food group choices, rich in nutrients and monounsaturated fats, and low in empty calories! The diet includes six meals a day, which aims to balance your calorie intake and output, so that your body feels most secure and able to burn calories.
The Pussycat Dolls
These gals also favour the Abs Diet, and use the patented exercise plans as well as the diet. The exercise plan includes two sessions of abs-specific working out, two cardio workouts, three strength sessions, and one interval workout per week. However, this plan was designed by a male for males – if you are female, you may need to modify the plan a little.
Dame Helen Mirren
Yes, she’s hardly a traditional sex goddess, but she’s so fit and healthy for her age! At 63, Dame Helen Mirren is a picture of health. The energy balance concept of the Abs Diet is extended to her whole life by Mirren – she says that she has never done anything to excess – drinking, smoking, or eating. She also does plenty of walking, with her two dogs as company and motivation.
Madonna
She recently turned 50, but that hasn’t stopped her having awesome abs. Madonn’a workout is high intensity cardio, mixed with toning exercises. She uses the Tracy Anderson method, which involves plenty of dancing for motivation and core strength.
Jennifer Lopez
JLo favors interval workouts, where all different types of cardio are mixed up, going from cardio, to strength activity, to cardio, to strength activity. Jumping rope, the treadmill, and the slide are some of Jennifer’s favorites.
Britney Spears
Increase her lung capacity by singing her entire album while she’s on the treadmill! To be fair, this is actually a voice training technique as well.
Tips for getting movie star abs:
Make sure you balance your energy in and out. Don’t eat too much, or exercise so much that you?feel sick or dizzy. Do a variety of activities Cardio is the best way to train abs Do two ab workouts a week Pay attention to your superfoods!

4 Smart-Shopping Tips For Finding an Anti Aging Skin Care Product That Actually Works
0681 days
Ranae Pritchard asked:
Honestly, when it comes to choosing an anti aging skin care product, you’re in danger of being buried alive. It seems everyone is touting a new “miracle” product that will wipe years of your face in less than a week.
The fountain of youth is big business. Cosmetic companies realize that people will spend their life savings trying to look twenty again. Did you know that the average face-lift in the US is over $5,000? Yikes! Billions of dollars are poured into the cosmetic surgery bucket every year.
Can you afford 5 grand on a face lift? I certainly can’t (and do I really want to?). So in comes the anti aging skin care product line. For substantially less than 5K, you can “use our cream for stunning non-surgical results”. So, we shell out $60 dollars for an ounce. We “splurge” on the $100 dollar “Skin Sensation.” We cross our fingers, just hoping that this time it will actually WORK.
Sadly, most of that is money wasted. The majority of anti aging skin care treatments just don’t work. They are produced by unscrupulous marketers who are dangling the carrot of “youth” and milking millions from the average consumer.
Is this the end of the story? Are we, the more financially-challenged, doomed to wrinkles and sags forever?
In comes our hero: Knowledge. If you know what you’re looking for, it really is possible to dig out the gems from the rubbish pile. There is a anti aging skin care product that works. Indeed, there may actually be more than one!
That’s what this article is all about. Giving you some basic smart-shopping tips on how to be SURE your anti aging skin care product really is the “elixir of youth” you paid for.
Tip #1: Skip The Smell
First, avoid products promised to make you “smell like a rose”. You may smell like a rose, but with continual use, your skin won’t feel like one. The chemicals used to make those fragrances have toxins in them. Because skin is porous, these toxins enter into your skin and bloodstream, causing you (and your skin) long-term harm.
Naturally, you don’t want to smell like a horse. But choose to deodorize yourself in other ways. Use perfume, cologne, or body-spray.
But wait! I hear you say, Aren’t there toxins in those things as well? Yes, there are. The difference is that with an anti aging skin treatment product, you are massaging those toxins into your face, covering a large surface area. The fragrances used n perfumes and sprays are released in teeny-tiny droplets over small areas of your body. It’s a BIG difference.
Tip #2: Destroy the Collagen Deception
That’s right. Avoid any anti aging skin care product that touts “collagen” in the product label. Those manufacturers are searching for a sucker. Don’t be their stooge.
It’s common knowledge that one of the primary reasons our skin begins to age, sag, and get wrinkles, is because the collagen in our skin is breaking down. This is a scientific fact. Manufacturers would like you to believe that by using a product with collagen in it, you will “rebuild” those layers. Not only are these so-called “collagen” products bunk (meaning you’d get better results spreading yogurt on your face), they are also, usually, grossly over-priced.
Hogwash. Hooey. Fiddlesticks.
Collagen molecules are way too big to penetrate the skin when applied on the surface. Instead, of attempting to get collagen from the outside in, you need to encourage collagen to grow from the inside out. You do this by using an anti aging skin care product that uses specialized (and natural) products that are proven to stimulate your body to make its OWN collagen.
(Side Note: You can read about those proven collagen-stimulating ingredients on my website, hyperlinked at the bottom of this article.)
Tip #3: Become “Celebrity Tax” Exempt
In the billion-dollar world of skin care, marketing is everything. How else will you convince the masses to choose your particular brand of Ingredient X? Is it any surprise, then that most skin care manufacturers spend the majority of their budget on marketing, and not on researching and developing the best products?
Smart executives realize that if they can land a model or contract a well-known celebrity to do their promotion, it doesn’t really matter whether the product works (or if it is good for you in the long run). People will buy it on faith.
For example, can you think of a well-known celebrity currently promoting a “hot” skin care product? Think of the Proactive Solution products. They have spent millions hiring Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Vanessa Williams, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, P.Diddy, Alicia Keys…all have “endorsed” Proactive Solutions, successfully selling to over 10 million people.
Who do you suppose paid those millions for celebrity contracts? Proactive did, yes…but who gives Proactive their money? Normal Joes like you and me. Those marketing dollars are paid by the people who by the product. A “Celebrity Tax” on every bottle, if you will.
There’s nothing wrong with passing that cost on to the consumer, I understand the basic principles of business. My point here is that those are millions that could be spent on researching and developing better products. And if they had better products, would they have the need to spend millions on celebrities so you would buy them? Hmm, I think not!
Tip #4: Use the Road Less Traveled
This is why I am a firm believer that it’s actually the little, unknown companies that represent your best bet when it comes to finding a quality anti aging skin care product. In fact, I think those companies are your best bet for any so-called vanity product.
Here’s why I think so: Those smaller companies can keep their product cost lower (by not having to pass on a “Celebrity Tax”), and invest their profits into actually producing a better product. It’s more like…If you make it (well)…they will come.
Their products speak for themselves. That is how their bottom line grows and grows. Not through neat packaging and cool celebrity endorsements, but by happy repeat customers. The extra money they make from those happy customers gets plunked into researching and developing MORE great products to make happier customers, and the cycle starts over again.
My job (and yours) as a passionate skin-care enthusiast is to find products produced by companies that are just like this.
In conclusion, I urge you to out-smart the status quo. Find a fragrance-free anti aging skin care product that will stimulate your body’s own production of collagen. Avoid paying the “celebrity tax” on bogus products that do nothing but pay for more celebrity endorsements. Search for beauty products (including anti aging skin care treatments) that will save you money and your skin at the same time.
If you’re too busy to do all that (I completely understand), feel free to look over my virtual shoulder and peek at what I have uncovered in my own search for better skin care. You can see all this information (including several gotta-have-ingredients) on my website, which is hyperlinked below.

Tip #4: Use the Road Less Traveled
This is why I am a firm believer that it’s actually the little, unknown companies that represent your best bet when it comes to finding a quality anti aging skin care product. In fact, I think those companies are your best bet for any so-called vanity product.
Here’s why I think so: Those smaller companies can keep their product cost lower (by not having to pass on a “Celebrity Tax”), and invest their profits into actually producing a better product. It’s more like…If you make it (well)…they will come.
Their products speak for themselves. That is how their bottom line grows and grows. Not through neat packaging and cool celebrity endorsements, but by happy repeat customers. The extra money they make from those happy customers gets plunked into researching and developing MORE great products to make happier customers, and the cycle starts over again.
My job (and yours) as a passionate skin-care enthusiast is to find products produced by companies that are just like this.
In conclusion, I urge you to out-smart the status quo. Find a fragrance-free anti aging skin care product that will stimulate your body’s own production of collagen. Avoid paying the “celebrity tax” on bogus products that do nothing but pay for more celebrity endorsements. Search for beauty products (including anti aging skin care treatments) that will save you money and your skin at the same time.
If you’re too busy to do all that (I completely understand), feel free to look over my virtual shoulder and peek at what I have uncovered in my own search for better skin care. You can see all this information (including several gotta-have-ingredients) on my website, which is hyperlinked below.

How To Be Skinny Like a Star

Faviano Torres asked:
This article will give emphasis to being star skinny at the same time provide details on how celebrities stay thin. Were you able to observe some famous people who had their poses on the red carpet? Big names such as Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Jennifer Lopez who all posses and is part of being star skinny. It is in here where an author of the newly published book “How Not to Look Fat” and is also a former big-size model Danica Lo said that these people are knowledgeable on how to maximize and bear their thinness at the same time maximize their level of fatness.
The said author is also an Asian girl, and according to her; there are many very slender Asians. If we are to compare it with the American size, Asian girls are on the regular and right size, but she has this feeling of being in the plus size category.
Danica Lo also added that girls who also share same sentiments could do Jennifer Lopez’s plan to have an “operation hand on waist.” By doing this, it will give focus the attention to the torso part, just step one foot forward to have a lean and long line with the legs.
What are the secrets of some celebrities? Below are the details:
1. Since Paris Hilton is already slender, most of her photos deal with her strategy to have her jaw up, chin down, and mouth open. According to Lo, it really makes a great difference when it comes to the jaw line.
2. We now go with Lindsay Lohan, who lost a big amount of weight, at the same time who has her style of doing the signature “half-turn”. It is in here where she does the half-turn on the side, with the leg out, toe pointing, the hands on the back, touching the spine to achieve the curve. According to Lo, it is by doing the arch that can really make a big difference.
3. Jewelries and accessories play a vital role in diverting one’s attention away from the body.
Hell-Bent To Be Thin

Lydia Ismail asked:
Walk into any high school or colleges, and there will be hordes of young ladies who are slim and dressed in clothes that revealed their figures.
Yes, being thin is in and many are dying to be thin.
They want to look like their stars – Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. These girls and their elder sisters are lulled into thinking that the pencil-thin or hour-glass looks are a “tribute to the female form”; that these clothes enhance their femininity.
Studies carried out by the British Health authorities found that girls, as young as 11, are concerned about their body image. And this is one of the reasons for a rising problem among young females – eating disorder. Millions of young girls the world over are not satisfied with the shape and size of their bodies.
In Singapore, A National University of Singapore (NUS) study of 4,400 female students in 2005 also showed that 7% of them were found to be at high risk of disorders like anorexia and bulimia. There was a six-fold increase in the incidence of eating disorders in Singapore in the last 10 years.
The two most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa ( when one engages in self-induced food restrictions and obsessive exercise although underweight) and bulimia nervosa (uncontrolled overeating or bingeing, followed by self-induced vomiting and purging via the use of laxatives).
Eating disorders are chronic conditions with devastating physical, psychological and social consequences when not given immediate attention.
In November 2006, Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston, 21, was reported to have died of anorexia nervosa. She was 1.74m tall and weighed only 40kg when she died. Many Tinseltown celebrities like Nicole Richie and Mary-Kate Olsen are constantly under the media glare for losing weight and looking unhealthily thin.
And these disorders are more common among women than men. For every 10 to 20 women with eating disorders, there would be one male with similar problem.
Symptoms Of Eating Disorders
Drastic weight loss in a short period of time Dizziness and fainting spells Abdominal stress Hypertension Constipation Exhaustion Loss of hair Dental enamel erosion Disruption of menstruation cycles Dry skin suddenly forming Social Interactions Easily agitated with people, even family members and friends Erratic behaviour and sudden outbursts Increasingly withdrawn from others.
Psychological Signs
Depression Anxiety Outbursts of Anger Moodiness Confusion Forgetfulness Sudden crying spells Grumpy demands Restless behaviour Sleeping difficulties
Specific Behaviours
Obsession with dieting Extreme limitations of food intake Fasting regularly Throwing up after meals or snacks Abuse of diet pills, laxatives and enemas Cutting food into small chunks Spending unusually long time in the bathroom after eating

Hydroquinone – Why Even Celebrities Use it For Skin Bleaching
1740 days
Arman Hansen asked:
Hydroquinone is a solution that is used for skin bleaching. It is mostly used by women who want to bleach away facial imperfections such as freckles and sun spots that can cause an uneven complexion. This solution is used by both younger women who want to get rid of freckles and an uneven skin complexion as well as older women who may want to get rid of sun spots. There are various kits on the market that employ the use of hydroquinone.
Years ago, if someone had sun spots or freckles, they often covered them up with makeup. However, this is pretty ineffective and temporary at best. The freckles would often show through and older women should not wear too much foundation as it tends to accent lines. For this reason, many women switched to hydroquinone to bleach their skin. This allowed the brown spots to go away that tended to interfere with the smooth and even complexion.
You can use hydroquinone by going to a salon or by using creams and solutions that you can use at home. Many women prefer to go to a salon because they have less of a chance of skin damage this way. While skin bleaching is safe to do in moderation, it should not be overdone. This can cause skin damage and more discoloration.
Many celebrities with freckles and uneven skin tone are using hydroquinone to bleach their skin and eliminate freckles. Lindsay Lohan is one who is said to have undergone this treatment. Once a charming redhead with freckles, she transformed herself into being a blond with no freckles. Other older celebrities have undergone this type of treatment as well. Years ago, camera lenses would filter out freckles from viewers but today, stars are using this solution as a way to rid themselves of what they see as an undesirable trait in exchange for an even complexion.
Using hydroquinone to rid yourself of unwanted age spots and freckles is safe in most cases. You may want to try just a bit of the treatment on a small part of your skin to make sure that it does not cause an irritation. This is similar to if you are dying your hair. If you can tolerate the treatment as most people can, then it is safe to use on your skin. It will take a few treatments before you start to notice the brown spots start to fade away and eventually, go away completely. By then you will have what you have searched for by using hydroquinone, which is even toned skin.

Curling Iron Advice
0749 days
Endy Wong asked:
Recently I’ve been thinking some advice for hair curlers, since my friend Kelly wants to create very soft curls at the bottom of her hair, similar to Jessica Simpson or Lindsay Lohan do their hair (her hair almost down to her tail-bone). She told me that she went to the hair salon before and the hairstylist said a 2 inch barrel wouldn’t hold a curl in her hair, but she wants medium to large soft curls, not small ringlets.
She asked me that could this styles be achieved with curlers instead of a curling iron and what the size of the barrel should her goes with?
It depends on how straight the hair is and how well it holds curl. The curly hairstyle of Jessica Simpson or Lindsayin Lohan are layered, so if hers isn’t, it will look a little different but still beautiful. For example, my sister’s hair is straight as a board.
I like using sponge rollers on her hair (it doesn’t hold heat curling much at all unless I use a ton of hairspray). I put them in while her hair is damp and she sleeps on them and I take them out the next morning. The curl lasts all day.
Another, she could achieve the style with hair rollers. It will actually be easier to do than with a curling iron. Large curls are tricky to achieve with one. She could either use hot rollers or velcro rollers and just apply some heat with her blow dryer. The rollers would have to be large because her hair is so long. Or medium and just roll them up half way up. Apply a heat protectant first like Redken heat glide. Just a tiny bit on the ends. Make sure it really rubbed between the hands before applying. It will protect the hair ends and add tons of shine.
Before taking out the rollers, lightly spray hair with a light hold hair spray (hold the bottle several inches away and just mist the hair with it). Let it set. Then remove the rollers and do not brush. Finger style and shape the curls with your hands. Lightly spray again if necessary. She can get the velcro rollers at Target. They have a pack that contains about 3 different sizes. It will take some practice to achieve perfection but it will happen.
