Makeup Tips For Women With Olive Skin

Women with olive skin are amongst the most beautiful in the world. They usually have dark brown or black hair and brown eyes which means that they can wear a large range of makeup color and look absolutely beautiful. If you’re one of these beauties and want to get some advice on makeup tips then keep reading for an all-inclusive guide to which colors will work for you.
The Skin If you have good skin and don’t see any sign of under eye circles or breakouts then you don’t really need to apply foundation or concealer. However if you do need a little help then the best thing to do is shop around. Make sure that you find foundation that blends seamlessly with your skin tone. The concealer that you use should be two shades lighter than your skin so that it covers any dark spots properly.

Eye Shadow Tips Because your skin is on the darker side and your eyes are brown you have the luxury of wearing any shade of eye shadow that you like. Choose from brown, pink, purple, green, blue and metallic colors to frame your eyes and look beautiful with your hair color. As much as you may want to apply it all at once it’s always a good idea to apply a little at a time so that you don’t overdo it and look clownish. Depending on how large your eyes are or how creative you want to get with your makeup you can mix two or more colors as well.
Eye Liner and Mascara Tips Your coloring also gives you the option of going as thick and bold as you like with your liner. Try an elongated cat eye and use black mascara to fatten up your lashes for a sophisticated look. If your eye shadow is a bold color then it’s a good idea to take it easy on the lashes. If your eye shadow is a neutral color however you can really go dark with your liner and mascara to add a little drama to your look.
The Cheeks Use warm shades of brown, pink and apricot to bring out your cheekbones. But if you want a sun kissed look try using a bronzer or highlighter instead. Not only will it look pretty but when applied properly they really work to bring attention to the angles of your face.
The Lips Use different shades of browns to accentuate your lips and get a natural looking pout. If you really feel like showing them off you can use pink or red but stay away from shades of orange and purple.

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...
