How to select light eye makeup

Light eye makeup is great for every day and can create a stunning look. If you are looking to highlight your eye color or even your hair, it is great to have a makeup that helps you achieve a finished and sophisticated appearance. But there are some rules of applying eye shadows and if you are only used to doing your lashes and using eyeliners you need to learn how to apply this professionally and fast as well every morning.

The application and the shape of your eye makeup are going to depend on the shape of your face and eyes as well. You need to choose the color carefully to make sure it does not only match your eye color but your face tone and hair, too. Here are four tips to create a stunning light eye makeup any time without the hassle.

Choose the right color

You need to find a tone that matches your eye color and your image. The worst mistakes made are the ones when one likes a color and applies that freely around their eyes, but it does not match their eye color. I have seen many ridiculous looking women who used sparkly blue for light brown eyes. It is a no-no.

Choose the right shape

Depending on your face, you are going to need different shapes. The main rule is that you are looking to make any imperfections disappear, so if you have deep set eyes you will need lighter colors. But if you have close set eyes you can cover a larger area of the outer eye to make them look further from each other. Just test the different shapes until you are happy with your light eye makeup.

Never apply eye makeup before foundation
Many women make a mistake that they apply the eye shadow before the foundation. The foundation is the base, and you need to also prepare your skin to become in contact with the eye shadow. Also you do not want to mess up your creation with applying foundation or other makeup after.

How to make your eyes look bigger

The easiest way to make your eyes look bigger apart from fake lashes and extra expensive mascara is to apply this very simple technique: Make your light eye makeup be darker on the inner parts of the makeup and lighter on the outer eyes.Photos courtesy of  yboo.info

Organic Facts Cosmetics makeup


about Organic Cosmetics and Mineral Makeup. We have heard the words and have a hazy picture of what it is all about. I mean you walk into a grocery store and you can hardly ignore the organic apples, organic carrots and other items proudly displayed there.
Since it is such big news, organic makeup MUST be something truly spectacular. And just like the fruits and veggies, they are more expensive than their chemically enhanced cousins. Before we trust them with our hard earned money, it pays to do some research and know for sure just why we should use them.
Let us shed light on some of the essential organic facts.

      Organic Makeup vs Mineral Makeup.
      Before we go any further, let me clarify that Organic Makeup is NOT the same as Mineral Makeup. Organic makeup is made up of plant based ingredients. These plants are grown without any pesticides or insecticides clouding their purity. Furthermore, no toxic chemicals such as mineral oils, parabens or synthetic dyes etc are used in the production of these organic cosmetics. They are also rich in essential oils, vitamins and minerals.

      Mineral makeup, on the other hand, as the name suggests is made from natural minerals found in Earth that are crushed into powder form. These natural mineral makeup products are also free of harmful substances such as preservatives, synthetic waxes etc.

     Nurtures Sensitive Skin
One of the organic facts that is a sure winner is that it is great for women with sensitive skin. If you are prone to allergies or is you suffer from other skin ailments such as acne, rosacea or eczema; you will want to try out organic and mineral makeup to find the one that best suits your sensitive skin needs.

   Allows the skin to breathe
Your regular cream, lipstick etc tends to clog pores of the skin. That is always harmful to the skin in the long run. Organic cosmetics, however, allow your skin to breathe. Many also provide UVA and UVB sun protection.

   Available in a multitude of colors
At this stage of our lives, we are more or less set in our (cosmetic) ways. Many of us are brand loyal. We have our favorite colors. Moving away from the known and out of our comfort level does require courage and a hint of risk. This is not our age for experimenting. And yet, this is the best time to experiment. Our skin is undergoing subtle changes – we need to let go of the brands and shades of color we were used to.
Luckily our next organic facts lead us straight to the solution. Organic cosmetic companies are creating more and more color choices. Finding a color that matches your skin is simply a matter of time and careful evaluation.Source: naturalbeautifulyou.com
