Have you ever wondered how to get the nice fresh look that many celebrities have? Well, below are some simple and easy techniques that help you give your makeup a natural, fresh, and beautiful look.
Technique Number One
For softer definition, just fill in the gaps between your upper lashes and in brow spaces. This gives you a nice fresh look.
Technique Number Two
Make the most of your mascara wand. Jiggle it at the lash base for more intense definition. Use the tip to build outer lashers.
Technique Number Three
Highlights and lowlights, intensified eye color, smoky eyes… the effects of a quad eye shadow are endless.
Technique Number Four
For a more natural look, apply lip liner after lip color, and pick a color that matches your lip tone.
Technique Number Five
Don’t be afraid to try a new shade or finish of lip color. Think of it as a mini vacation for your lips. You can always come home to your favorite color.
Technique Number Six
For the most irresistible, juicy pout, lavish your lips with a hi-gloss shine.
Technique Number Seven
Less is more. Apply your foundation before your concealer. You’ll use less makeup and look more natural.
Technique Number Eight
Before you clip, snip, smooth, and shape your nails, soak your hands and feet to soften your skin and cuticles.
Three Bonus Tips
Do you want lashes that last? Then replace your mascara every three months. This will help keep your lashes from drying out and breaking
Summer is almost here. Even with sunscreen, your skin tone gets deeper in the summer. Go a shade darker than you do in the winter for a more natural look.
You can have too much of a good thing – too much fragrance can drive people away. You’ll know you’re wearing the right amount of fragrance if only you and someone close enough to embrace you is able to catch the scent of it.
Eye products should be used as the last step in your daily skin care regimen after cleansing, toning, treating and moisturizing.
I hope you have enjoyed these tips and techniques. Having that look of natural beauty doesn’t have to cost you a lot of money and time.

Secrets To How To Look Younger, Skin Care Tips
The secret to how to make skin look younger can be found in very high quality skin care products containing powerful compounds that can stimulate the body to produce collagen and other skin proteins at the same levels as when you were younger. This is the most effective anti-wrinkle solution you will find, hands down.
Young and beautiful skin is what every one wants but this has become impossible due to climatic changes and exposure to stress and other natural factors like the ultraviolet rays of the sun. The question that everyone has in mind is how to make skin look younger. There are surgical procedures that are available to tighten the skin etc but this is not used by people because of the side effects. The other option is to go in for the use of anti ageing skin care products. This is a very good option if you know to choose the right products for your skin.
Dryness and dehydration are bad for your skin - you must combat these conditions to maintain your skin's elasticity, suppleness and health. Drinking lots and lots of water every day is the simplest way to keep your skin looking smooth and keeping it properly hydrated. Drinking water is easy on your wallet, too! An additional way to keep your skin soft is by using a good skin care moisturizer just after your shower; massage it gently into your skin to invigorate and rehydrate.
Choose a product that has well-researched ingredients. You can find many products saying they have collagen or elastin to reduce wrinkles. There is no scientific proof that skin collagen and elastin can be absorbed by the skin. The true answer to the question about how to make skin look younger, is using products that enhance skin collagen and elastin levels naturally.
The type of food we indulge in will be reflected on the appearance of our skin. If you are a fan of fried food and junk food, your skin will also look like junk – old, wrinkly and lifeless. Most of the junk food available in the market is filled with free radicals, which can be responsible for sucking out the moisture out of your skin and causing freckles and liver spots on your face and body.
Use a good quality cleanser and wash your face twice a day, perhaps less as you get older. Be sure to change your skin care regimen as your skin ages and it gets drier or changes texture.
Use a good quality wrinkle cream and be consistent in its application. Your skin will benefit from this regular boost of moisture.
Intake of Vitamin C
Besides its nutritional benefits, Vitamin C is known to give us energy and helps boost our immune and nervous system. The most important function, however, of Vitamin C is to enhance collagen production keeping our skin soft, healthy and young looking. It also deters the production of a chemical called arachidonic acid which is responsible for causing crow’s feet, and ageing of the skin. Most creams and lotions used as age-defying solutions have Vitamin C ester or topical vitamin C as an active ingredient

Sea Salt For Beauty And Slimming
Sea salt, although is widely used in cosmetic, gourmet and as bath salts, you would probably be amazed that sea salt has also found its way into beauty products.
Actually, it's not surprising if it does.
Sea salt, unlike table salt which we normally use for cooking, is obtained by evaporating sea water.
Since it's extracted naturally, sea salt has tremendous benefits on your skin. Therefore, it is now been used as a beauty agent as well.
Now, how does sea salt works on your skin?
Sea Salt As Antiseptic
Firstly, sea salt can act as an antiseptic. It kills germs very effectively.
Thus, if you have wound, applying sea salt helps your wound heal much faster.
Wait a minute!
Adding salt to the wound?
Yes, it maybe a little bit painful at first, but the fact is - your wound will heal faster, and it will leave no wound marks.
So, what bad is there to add salt to the wound, right?
High Mineral Content And Multiple Functions...
Secondly, sea salt contains high concentration of potassium, sodium, chlorine, magnesium and 92 other essential minerals.
These minerals help increasing your metabolism rate, cleanse your skin deeply, and act as anti-inflammation and antiseptic agents.
Proksch E, Nissen HP, Bremgartner M, and Urquhart C from the University of Kiel's Department of Dermatology in Germany have examined volunteers who bathed in the sea salt solution and found them to have improved skin barrier function and reduced skin roughness and inflammation.
Therefore, they concluded that there is positive benefits of bathing in the sea salt solution mainly due to its high magnesium content.
As such, using sea salt for your skin is likely to make your skin healthier, smoother and reduce inflammation.
It helps to reduce the size of the skin pores; removes oily skin, pigmentation, dead skins by boosting the function of your sweat glands and sebaceous glands.
These two gland systems function to help you remove aged and dead skins from your body, enabling the new skin to surface and breathe.
Imagine to show the world your new skin at anytime you want to...
Sea Salt Removes Fat Effectively!
Thirdly sea salt is known to also remove fat!
Although much researches are still needed to prove this, we have tested applying sea salt in tummy areas; areas underneath the arm; hip areas etc, and found that it does help to inch down the size in matter of days.
This is not a surprise, since applying sea salt on your skin also increases your metabolism rate. Increased metabolism rate means more fat will be burn in the process.
On top of that, sea salt has similar molecular structure as our blood cells, and when it is applied on your skin, it will be easily absorbed into the blood system and lymph through the skin.
It will then help to remove old cells, toxic and fat from the blood system and lymph, which leads to beauty effect as well.
