One thing that makes a person attractive is his or her eyes. It’s not just the shape or the color. It could also be the way your eyes are ‘highlighted’ on your face. One reason why people want perfect eyebrows is to highlight their eyes. To making yourself beautiful and appealing ‘Getting Perfect Eyebrows’ is extremely important. Can you imagine when a person looks at you and sees only the bushy eyebrow that frames your eyes? He or she would not notice how beautiful your eyes are because of the distraction.
Now, then, here’s how to get those perfect eyebrows that you need to make your eyes stand out…
First, you need to always have an eyebrow brush around. Include one in your makeup case so that anytime you feel like it, you can groom your eyebrows in the shape that you want. If you can, keep a small vial of gel so that you can groom your eyebrows more when you’re meeting someone important.
Don’t pluck the eyebrows too much because it will take weeks for them to grow back. Also, plucking might lead to inflammation. Instead of a perfect arch, you will have to deal with pimples on your brows. Have a plan in mind whenever you pluck your brows. Get rid of the more bushy spots just below your brow bone and between your eyes, but don’t pluck almost everything off.
An eyebrow pencil is also great to have around, but apply a very light stroke. Think of it as writing on the hair strands rather than your skin. You also can use eye shadow instead of pencil if you just want to darken your brows. Apply from the center and stroke outward with fluid motions to get that arched look.
If you’re not fond of plucking and would rather shave your brows, you can start only with the eyebrows that stick out under the eyes. If you have big brows, the best grooming skills may not be enough, so you will have to go to a salon to have your brows shaped. If you want to lessen the pain of plucking, the best time to pluck is after a shower, as the skin will be moisturized and soft.
Your eyebrows must also be in sync with your body proportions. If you’re big boned, sharper eyebrows will not look out of place. If your build is delicate, make sure your eyebrows are not bushy.
The smaller your eyes, the less you should mess with the natural color of your brows. Don’t use eyebrow pencil because this will make your eyes even smaller.
Waxing leads to the trapping of hair right below the skin surface. Like plucking, you should make sure you clean your eyebrow area after waxing so that no irritation occurs. Dye your brows a shade or two darker than your hair.
If you’re like most people, you probably have a few skin care secrets. Everyone I know has a particular way of caring for their skin, and most of the time, the strategy is connected with a particular cosmetics brand. While I think that the popular skin care brands are there work great, I just cannot exchange my secret fresh fruit facials recipes for any of those popular brands.
What is this fresh fruit facial I am talking about? It’s a simple technique that involves using fresh fruit juice, pulp and even peel on our skin. The logic behind this is simple. Fresh fruits have enough minerals and vitamins to make anyone healthy, so why not directly use fruits on skin to make skin smoother? The antioxidants in fruits are extremely valuable, and it’s sad that humans usually take these for granted by not eating enough fruits every day.
So, let’s delve into my recipe box of facials that can be done using fresh fruit…
Peaches are gritty and can work well as exfoliants. Get a ripened peach, peel and get rid of the pit. You can slice up the peach for easier blending. Add egg white (from a single egg) to the peach slices in the blender and fire it up. When the mixture is well blended, you can scoop up a tablespoon of the mixture and apply it on your face. Allow it to sit there for 30 minutes before rinsing with cold water.
Apple mask is a good way to make your skin glow especially if your skin is not too dry and not too oily. Sometimes, you see all these products on the shelves of skin care stores and you wonder why there aren’t more products created for people with normal skin. Well, if you have this type of skin, I suggest you try this apple mask. Peel, core, and quarter an apple. Mash or chop the apple in your blender, and add two tablespoons of honey. Blend again until the mixture is smooth. Refrigerate the mixture before you apply on your face. Pat the mixture on your face gently and leave it on for 30 minutes. After this time, you can rinse with warm water until you can no longer feel the stickiness of honey.
While I’d rather eat strawberries than place them on my face, I love putting on my strawberry mask. Don’t use the type of strawberries you’d normally eat. Use the very ripe ones. Mash half a cup of strawberries with one fourth cup of cornstarch. Use a blender if you don’t want to waste time. Apply the mixture to your face, avoiding the eye area. After 30 minutes, rinse with tepid water.
If you have blemished skin, here’s a facial mask that you can use to reduce the blemishes. Chop one ripe tomato into small bits and blend with oatmeal (one tablespoon) and, lemon juice (one table spoon). Don’t overdo the mixing so that the mixture will stick to your skin. If the mixture is too thin and syrupy, add more oatmeal until it’s more paste-like. Apply the mixture on your face and leave it on for 10 minutes. Use a warm, wet cloth to scrub it off your face.
