Ultimate Makeup Guide to Beginners

Makeup is essential to every girls. they loves to put makeup. But putting makeup wrong way can give you ghost look. so you have to learn how to makeup yourself properly. 
 
How to Prep the Skin -
The most thing I get asked it "Why doesn't my make-up turn out right?" It's all in the prep!
Its important to apply your make-up on fresh, clean skin. There is nothing worse then "adding" make-up the morning after the night before!




Start by cleansing the skin - Using a cleanser to remove any dirt or old make-up on the skin. Any brand you like you can use.
Use eye make-up remover - Its important to remove those "panda eyes" with a water base eye make-up
remover, Water bases is used as oil bases removes can leave a residue on the skin which will prevent the make-up being applied correctly.

Use toner on cotton wool - Toners remove any left over cleansers leaving the skin smooth and ready for make-up!
Apply Moisturizer - If you do nothing else, apply moisturizer to your skin. It's a must, so spend a little time on finding the right one for you.
Optional step - Primer - Applying primer is the final step in our prep. It's always the final step before foundation. A little tip on saving money with primers is to use a face primer on lid and lips. Primer really helps the make-up last so is it some thing worth investing in.

Step 2.

Choosing the right foundation for you! 

Few thing to consider when picking the right foundation.

Shade - Which is the hardest to find, but what my video here to see my tips on getting the right shade.

Coverage - Whether you want full, medium or sheer coverage. Click here to see my foundation suggestions.

Finish - Matte finish (suited to oil skin) Dewy (suited to dryer skin) Satin (Suited to most skin types)


Top Tips:
Pick three shades - starting with a lightest shade then you think you are and work up from there. This will prevent you buying a shade that is too dark. (Which most people do)

Try the shades out on your jawline/neck where possible, otherwise your wrist or hand can help give a general guide.

Remember to stand in a doorway or outside to see if the colour matches, it’s also important to blend the foundation and let it set to see the TRUE shade.

A foundation with sunscreen is a safe bet, but you will still need to wear sunscreen under your foundation.

Foundation is totally optional, if you have blemishes or pimples, try strategically placed concealer instead. Or just wear the foundation on the parts that need it, around your nose, under the eyes and on the chin. Always make sure to blend properly.

Step 3
Applying Foundation

So many different ways to apply foundation. Each foundation has a technique that works best with it. Also the technique you choice will give you a different effects. I have list of my foundation suggestions and the best way to apply them.

So lets go through the different tools you can use -

Finger Tips are the easiest and cheapest to use (because they are always there) They can give you the best finish as the heat can bring the foundation to skin temperature and help it to blend evenly. No matter what tool I use, I always finish off using my finger tips.

Sponges are my favorite to use for many reasons, they blend really well. They can give you full to sheer(light) coverage. Cheap and disposable or you can be super cheap and wash them.

There are a few foundation brushes, Stippling brushes can be used to apply liquid and mineral powder foundation. It can give you a great flawless look.
When applying liquid foundation using a dabbing and swirling motion works best and using a swirling motion works best with mineral foundation too.
This has been my chosen tool as of late.

Flat foundation brushes were the most popular choice when I started making videos, They are still popular but being replaced with other tools nowadays. It can give you full coverage. I like using it to apply my primers.
Newer round top foundation can also give you a beautiful application.


Step 4.
Concealer

For so many of us concealer is over use or forgotten. (I have to admit I used to totally over use it) Concealer is a concentrated form of pigment used to hide some thing (hence the name conceal)
A lot of us focus too much on full coverage foundation and instead need to use concealer to hide our imperfections.

Even though concealer comes in so many forms - Liquid, cream, stick...However there basically two types of concealer that you need for your make-up bag.
One for under the eyes and One to be used on imperfections.

Under eyes
Under the eyes is slightly drier so the concealer that you use need to be slightly moisturising.
It can also be pink/salmon tone to neutralising the blue/dark hues under the skin.
Some concealer can also have highlighters, theses are used for under the eye area to brighten and lift the eyes. Some used these on blemishes but they are not designed for any real covering anything, they are designed to brighten the area.

The most famous out of all the highlighter is a Touche Eclat which is a highlighter, not a concealer despite what everyone believes.

Blemishes/Imperfection
When it comes to spots/pimples you need to use a concealer that is matte and full coverage. Its important that a concealer for blemish has no shine as shine can draw attention to the area you want to hide.

No matter that you concealer only use a small amount, apply it to the blemishes or discolouration only and blend blend blend!!


Step 5.
How to Make Foundation/Concealer Last All Day
So here is a step that I think really might help a lot of you, its some thing I never did as a teen, mostly because I didn't know about it but its is to set your foundation with a powder or a setting spray.

Setting sprays can be used after a full face of make-up as been applied, its great if you use liquid or cream make-up and don't want to set it with a powder. Hold the spray back from your face and lightly mist the face, then allow is to dry. After that you should be all set!

Setting powders can be used after all cream and liquids have been applied. Loose or pressed powders can be used.

7 Most Powerful Things You Can Say to Your Kids

Effective conversation helps parents create lasting, meaningful relationships with their kids. These 10 powerful statements can get you started on your way.

The Pew Research Center recently showed parents across America a list of 10 skills, asking the question: “Which of these skills is most important for a child to get ahead in the world today?” The winner, by far, was communication. In fact, not only was it chosen as the most important; it beat out traditional favorites, such as reading, writing, teamwork and logic.

Perhaps this is not surprising given our over-connected, always-on world. Yet parents often don’t realize how large of a role they actually play in developing and nurturing this skill. In my book, “Ten Powerful Things to Say to Your Kids: Creating the Relationship You Want with the Most Important People in Your Life,” I stress that effective conversation—what you say, how you say it, when you say it—is one of the only tools parents have in creating lasting and meaningful relationships with their kids.

As the father of two adult children and a grandfather to 13 in my blended family, I know that parents must be conscious of what they say and how they say it. Negative comments can often shape a conversation in a way we don’t realize and it’s important to be aware. Your words and conversations create your reality, your future and your relationships. What you talk about—or don’t talk about—defines your relationship. The primary conversations that surround your children are your conversations—both with them directly and with others while your children are present. And those are the conversations you have the power to change.

And you can start by using my list of the 10 most powerful things you can say to your kids:

1. I Like You: This is a different statement from “I love you.” This statement says, “I like who you are as a person.” Use them both

2. Your are a fast Learner: Learning is natural. Young children are amazing at it. Learning is play to them. What you say to them early influences how they relate to learning later in life, when it can be more difficult or frustrating.

3. Thank You: Simple courtesies are a sign of respect. Social skills are critical in life, and the best training for tact and grace starts early.

4. How about we agree to…: This is about establishing a few basic agreements that set the stage for how you work together within the family. Having agreements in place helps avoid common issues and provides a framework within which to solve problems when they do arise.

5. Tell me more: This is a request for your children to share their thoughts, feelings and ideas with you. It also involves learning to listen, which is always a gift because it signals that you care.

6. Let’s read: Reading to your kids brings so many benefits. It helps them build skills they need for success in life. It enriches your relationship and instills a love of learning. And books provide a gateway to the world—people, places and ideas.

7. We all make mistakes: Problems happen. No one is perfect. Dealing with problems and learning from mistakes are vital life skills. When you have a moment in which you don’t live up to your own standards, it’s an opportunity to show your children how to take responsibility for mistakes and move on. Kids can beat themselves up over not meeting your expectations or not being perfect. Giving each other a little room around this is a gift for both of you.

5 Things We Still Don’t Know About Casual Sex

As Science of Us reported last week, a new study lends some empirical weight to a commonsense notion: Casual sex confers certain psychological benefits upon the folks who seek it out. Since psychologists are still early on in their attempts to shake off the puritanism that has draped conversations about casual sex in favor of actual studies and legitimate data, Science of Us asked Zhana Vrangalova, an NYU researcher and the study’s lead author, to name the remaining big unanswered questions about casual sex. Here are five of them.

1. How does aging affect the benefits of casual sex? Vrangalova’s study and many others focus on college students, and, as a whole, society tends to talk about “hookup culture” as being mostly about twentysomethings. “We know very little about casual sex past college age and how it’s related to mental health or anything else, really,” wrote Vrangalova in an email. When all your friends are married and your own sexual relationships are still casual, does the social stigma against sleeping around at an older age reduce the benefits you might otherwise accrue? Is it less enjoyable simply because of the biological effects of aging? We don’t yet know.

2. Are all casual-sex arrangements created equal? Casual sex can mean different things in different contexts. Sometimes it’s an ongoing friends-with-benefits arrangements; other times, it’s a one-time drunken hookup. Do different sorts of casual-sex encounters have different impacts on the participants’ well-being? It’s unclear.

3. What are the long-term benefits or drawbacks of casual sex? “Thus far, most studies, even longitudinal ones, have examined relatively short-term effects: from a week to a year,” wrote Vrangalova, whose own study fits in this category. “More research is needed on what happens over several years or longer.” 

4. What accounts for the gender gaps in casual sex? Men desire casual sex more than women, “but whether that’s due to cultural or biological reasons remains a contested debate,” as Vrangalova told us. “Also, there’s a huge orgasm gap during hookups, with female college students orgasming about 40 percent of their hookups compared to over 70 percent of male students.” That, too, likely has to do with a combination of biological factors and socialized ideas about the “proper” ways to act and communicate during casual sex.

5. Are there big race- or class-related differences? For researchers on college campuses, there’s no easier, bigger group of potential study subjects than middle- and upper-class white kids. And while there’s nothing wrong with studying their sex lives, doing so, Vrangalova pointed out, provides only a limited view, and ignores early evidence of important race- and class-related differences. “There is some qualitative and a bit of quantitative research suggesting that class and race… interact with gender such that gender differences in desiring and engaging in casual sex are much greater at lower [socioeconomic status] than higher SES,” she said. “In other words, lower class and non-white (esp Black and Latina) women are less likely to desire casual sex than their higher SES counterparts, as if such desires are a luxury of those who are better off.”

How To Be Memorable Around Women And Create Attraction

How To Be Memorable Around Women And Create Attraction

Today I’m here in rainy London, what a shock rain in London this never happens right? Ah! Anyways we’re here talking to today, walking around and doing a little coaching, and one of the things I was talking about was how to be really memorable.

Most people are not memorable. Most people walk in the store to shop, and they walk in with an objective in mind such as to go buy a shirt, or a soda, a coffee or whatever it might be. But they don’t connect with anyone, and that’s one of the biggest mistakes you can possibly make. When I walk into a store, for one I always want to be memorable, because if I go back to that store I want to be greeted like an old friend. So when I walk in I slow down, and I walk really slow and look around, immediately making direct eye contact with the person behind the register or the person walking around. I say, “How are you today”, or “How is your day going”, and immediately begin bonding with that person.

The reason being is because they are in zombie mode, as in an “Oh God I have to work at this store, I don’t like working here, and all the customers are rude”. Yet all of the sudden you become that guy, and you ask them something, like “how’s your day going”, and they start telling you, so you listen a bit and you find out something about them. But here’s the most important thing, you go to the same stores every single day, most of them being the exact same ones, but yet you don’t engage with that person behind the register.

Today we went to a sandwich shop, and I looked at the woman behind the register and I had an egg sandwich, and I said, “Maybe I’ll get the bacon one, what’s your favorite”? So she looked at me and said, “Ah, you got the egg one right”? So we played around for a bit and we talked, and I’m sure you wish you saw the conversation, but I’m giving you the highlights anyways. And all of the sudden as I left I looked at her and said “Annie you have a great day”, and she said, “You too” back to me. 

So the next time I see her I can go, “Hey Annie how are you?” Meanwhile, Annie might be checking out somebody at the register who’s paying for food, and that might be the beautiful woman you always wanted to talk to. However it’s about creating attraction, and becoming memorable then creates attraction for all the customers in that store because you knew the store clerk or store manager.

That’s it, time to go enjoy the rain.

35 Awesome & Harmless but Easy April Fools Pranks Ideas



April Fool’s Day is one of the best days of the year. On no other day are you “legally” allowed to play jokes and pranks on your friends, family and co-workers and have a built-in excuse. Here are 35 pranks you can play on people with very little effort, yet still reap much joy out of the end results.

Salty Toothpaste
Sprinkle some salt on your victim's toothbrush. When this person goes to brush their teeth, he or she will get a salty tasted treat.


Wax paper+nail polish+workaholic=awesome(: Take wax paper and some nail polish you don't use anymore, pour the nail polish onto the wax paper and wait till it hardens, peel it off and lay it on an important document, it looks like you spilled it everywhere(: Your workaholic parents will FREAK OUT.

Rubber band+kitchen spray nozzel+poor family member=funny(: Wrap a rubber band around the handle on your spray nozzel in the kitchen, wait till someone turns on the facet and it sprays in their face!

Seran Rap+toilet+dad=messy! Wrap clear sticky seran wrap around the toilet opening, TIGHTLY or it will have little ripples and he'll notice. When he pees, well, you know(: put a note on the toilet seat, april fools(;

Computer mouse+sticky note=aggravating: Take a sticky note and tape it under your mouse where the little light is, write April Fools on it and watch whoever gets on the computer, the cursor wont move(: 



put tape on the sink spray nozel. when your dad turns on the sink he will get sprayed.... i do that one every year :)

 
Koolaid+Shower head+red water=FUN! Take a packet of powder koolaid and unscrew the shower head, pack the powder into the shower head and watch as a person takes their shower, theyll get prayed with red water for awhile(:

Bathroom+gotta pee=annoyed(: Stay in the bathroom for a while, knowing your family member needs to go REAL bad, make sure the toilet paper is all used up and there no more in the cabinet, the person who runs in wont notice till its too late(:

Shower+no clothes=OH MY GOD! While someone takes a shower, get all their clothes, towels, rugs, and anything they can cover themselves with outta the bathroom. When they get out theyll be stuck for quite a while(:




Quarter+Pencil+skill=Hilarious. Take a quarter and practice getting it to roll along your forehead, over your nose, and to your chin. Color the quarter with the pencil after you have perfected it, take another quarter and challenge your sister or brother or friend, show them you can do it (with the clean quarter) and give them the colored quarter, thell attempt to do it and eventually get it right, when they do, congratulate them and walk away. Wait for him or her to find out he or she has a bunch of black pencil lines all over their face(:
 

Stuck In The Bathroom
Remove the bathroom door knob and put it back on the reverse way so the lock is on the outside. Then push the button or turn to lock the door. Remember to leave the door open. Now, whoever is next to use the bathroom, will not even notice this and he will lock himself inside.

Shower Before Entering
If you know someone who turns on the shower before actually entering the tub area. Then before their next shower, turn the shower-head so it faces outside the shower area. Most people don't even look up before turning the nozzle.

Shampoo Shower Prank
Glue a bottle of shampoo to the shower shelf (to avoid damage, use clear caulk on a surface that can be scraped).

Bar Of Soap Lather Prank
Take some nail polish and coat a bar of soap with it. Let it dry. Then put it in the bathroom shower. When your victim tries to use it, he or she will go nuts trying to get it to lather up.

Unable To Open
Glue all the bottles of shampoo shut so they cannot be opened.

Terrible Aim
Sprinkle some water with yellow food coloring all over the toilet seat and floor. It will look like whoever used the toilet before you was a terrible aimer.

Cream Cheese Deodorant
Scrape off about an inch or so of your victim's deodorant and replace it with cream cheese. It will take a few minutes to sculpt the cheese in place to look like the deodorant. When finished, put the lid back on and back where you found the deodorant. When your victim needs to freshen up again, he will get a cream cheese surprise

Food Coloring In Hand Soap Dispenser
Put some food coloring inside the hand soap dispenser. When your victim tries to wash his hands, they will end up worse than before he decided to wash them.

Urinate Forever
Impress a buddy who is in a room next to the bathroom. Excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, but along the way get a large bucket with water and take it in with you. Then slowly pour it in the toilet. It will take forever to finish pouring it all in. Your buddy in the room next door will say, "WOW" as he will think you are taking a very very long pee.

So Forgetful
Tape some magnets to the bottom of a cup and the top of your car and drive away. It will look like you forgot to grab your cup off the top before driving off and people all around will try and get your attention and flag you down, while you just laugh and drive.

Cruelty To Animals
Attach a leash to the rear bumper of your victim's car. When he drives away, other cars driving behind him will think he forgot about his pet that he tied to the bumper.

Change Automobile Settings
While your victim is away from his car, go inside and turn stereo volume to max, turn windsheild wipers on, air conditioner to max, scoot seats all the way up and adjust mirrors.

Wrong Keys
Next time you are with a group of friends and two of your friends have the same type of car...for example both friends have a Volkswagon. Then chances are both Volkswagon keys will look identical. When both of your friends aren't looking...switch their keys.

Jack Up The Car
Jack up a persons car so the wheels are just barely off the ground, but not enough to be noticable.

Styrofoam Peanuts
Fill your victim's car with styrofoam peanuts then ask him to go to the store for you.

Bad Cop, No Donut!
You can usually find a bumper sticker at any Novelty Store that reads, "Bad Cop, No Donut!" If you can't find one, you can just make one yourself. Place it on your bumper and everytime you see a cop. Just drive in front of him. You might want to reduce your speed a bit to make sure he reads it.

Pop!
Put a balloon over the hole of the victim's exhaust pipe. After he drives away...a few blocks later, he will hear a big POP!!

I Ran Over My Arm
Place a fake rubber or plastic arm under your tire after you park your car. Add a small puddle of fake blood. Then hide one of your arms. When people ask what happened, tell them the car brakes weren't working

Sorry About The Damage!
Leave a fake note on someone's car windsheild that reads, "Sorry about the damage i caused to your automobile. Call me and I will be more than happy to pay for the repair" Be sure not to leave a phone number...of course there is no real damage. But the victim doesn't know this. He or she will look all over for a dent or scratch or something. 


Move The Car
When your victim isn't paying attention. Get his keys and move his car. If he parked out in the street next to the curb. Then just turn the car around so it is now parked the wrong way.

Tire Blowout
Place a blown up balloon under your victim's tire. When he starts the car up and drives off, he will hear a loud POP!! and think the tire just blew out!
 


Fight+ketchup+sister=FREAK OUT! Challenge your sister to a fight, trip her or punch her or something and let her get your back, hide a glob of ketchup or red food coloring in your other hand and smear it on your self where she hit you while your on the ground away from her, shell freak out when she comes over.

Butter+clumsy=Laughable. Rub butter or margarine around the floor, leave a note somewhere nearby that says ''Ill clean it up'' and wait for someone to walk by, theyll read the note and walk forward, slipping on the butter and falling.

Car+little stickers=confused. Get those little sticky things for the windows, put a whole bunch of them all over your parents or your sisters car and watch as they try to remember how they got there.

If your a mischievous person, and your parents think you'll do something for April Fools day, buy them some flowers, chocolate, etc. and don't do anything. Just sit back and watch as your parents anticipate something. Its really funny

7 Reasons Women Fall Out of Love

Love is a beautiful thing, until it fades away. The ladies have spoken — and here are some main reasons why they lose that loving’ feeling…

The Honeymoon is Over

Some lovely ladies aren’t the most realistic – and expect life to be sunshine and roses 24/7. After the newness of love begins to fade, and the focus is often on paying bills, work or other responsibilities, they lose interest. Reality bites – just a little too much for some poor souls, unfortunately. It’s likely in these cases the women have some serious growing up to do.

They Stop Feeling Adored

Feeling appreciated, acknowledged and special is super important for women, who often balance and juggle so many things in life. Women are moms, housekeepers, cooks, businesswomen, caretakers, etc. While many women say they love doing it all and wouldn’t have it any other way – feeling adored by their partner makes it all worth it. Often times men will express their feelings of gratitude in the beginning, but get complacent after the novelty of the new relationship wears off. Compliments and recognition are two things women love … forever, guys!

We’ve Changed or (It’s Not You, It’s Me!)

The fact is, what women want in their twenties differs greatly with what they are looking for in their thirties, forties and beyond. While the hard-to-get bad boy is thrilling and a real challenge when one is younger, it is the genuine, loyal guy that most of us will fall in love with later on, when security is also a priority. There’s something to be said about waiting a bit to settle down – at least until you know yourself pretty darn well.

Emotional Disconnect

There is a common thread through many of these reasons, and it is poor communication – or none at all. It is crucial that partners remain connected and make each other a priority. Getting distracted by daily life does happen, but one should always seek to bring it back to what matters most – the love between the two people. We all need to feel loved and when we don’t, some of us will shut down and eventually the love fades away.

Loss of Independence

There is such a thing as “healthy separateness” in a relationship. It’s important that both women and men retain their own friends, own activities and personal interests after they get together. When your partner becomes the end-all-be-all, they also may make you incredible resentful at what you have given up to be with them. The best couples figure out how to maintain their own identities as individuals as well. We'd love to hear what made you fall out of love. Was there a defining moment or a gradual change in your feelings?

Boredom

“We’ve gotten into the worst rut. We do the same things every weekend. He never has any ideas or takes any initiative to plan anything.” We heard this several times from frustrated ladies who were sensing a complete lack of interest or passion from their mates. To keep a relationship thriving, you’ve got to keep it interesting and put some thought and energy into it. What’s that they say about tending to the garden? Well, it’s true.

Wherefore Art Thou Chemistry?

Some women get addicted to that initial stage – the warm feeling in the pit of your stomach when you know you are going to see your love. As anyone knows who has been in a relationship long enough, chemistry often fades, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but for some that means it’s time to move on. It may not be the most mature point of view – but it’s a choice women make when the sparks have dwindled.
