Contouring helps to define the face and creates a sense of balance. Contouring with makeup is usually applied on the temple area, nose, eyes, and chin areas. Select shades that are only about one skin tone away from your natural one.
To begin you need to cleanse, moisturized, and primed the face by applying concealer and foundation.
Nose
To make you nose appear slimmer, apply contouring shade on each side of the nose, then use your fingers or sponge to blend. Next apply the highlighter down the center of your nose, the tip will be brightest this way and will play down the size of the bridge
Cheekbones
Start by sucking in your cheeks, then apply a darker shade to the hollows with a soft blush brush and highlighter to the top of the cheekbones. Use a sheer coral or berry shade and apply that to the apples of your cheeks. Don't over due it!
Forehead
If you have a wide forehead then create the illusion of a more rounded forehead by applying a light bronzer to each temple and blend.
Chin
If your chin is small apply highlighter to the center of the chin ( the place directly below the center of your lip)
If you have a double chin apply the bronzer along the jaw line and blend it downwards towards your neck. This will creates depth and helps to strengthen the jaw line.
Eyes
Using a soft eyeshadow brush, apply your contour shade in sweeping motions across your eye crease to contour your eyes. Next spply highlighter to your browbone and the inner corners of your eyes for a brightening effect.
Lips
If you want your lips to look more slimmer, then apply a deep shade of lip color to the entire lip.
To make your lips appear fuller you can apply a light lip color with shimmer or gloss. Then apply highlighter between the peaks of the upper lip and below the center of the lower lip. This makes thin lips look full and gives a pouty appearance

How to get rid of blackheads
A blackhead is caused by excess oil that has clogged a pore. Blackhead if not properly treated can leave holes and spots on the face.
To prevent blackheads do not use creamy, greasy, and thick (emollient) products, or bar soap. As the ingredients that hold soap in a bar form can clog the pores in your skin. They can also cause skin cells to flake off prematurely and clog the pores. Also try to keep your hair away from your face, as your hair sometimes has oil that can clog the pores.
Natural treatments
1.Steam Face
Steaming your face will open up the pore making it easy to squeeze the blackhead. Steam face for 10 mins, either by placing hot towel over over your face, or holding your head over a hot water.
2. Pat your face dry
3. Place a piece of tissue on the tip of each finger to avoid slipping, which could tear the skin and cause further damage.
4. Gently apply even pressure to both sides of the blackhead by pushing down, then up around the blemish. You're trying to apply the pressure from *underneath* the blackhead.
5. Wash face with cold water to close back pores, then put on a moisturizer.
Other natural remedies
Toothpaste and baking soda paste
After you steam your face,as describe a above, place toothpaste and baking soda paste ONLY on the area where the blackheads are. Leave on for 15 minutes, Do this once per week
Almond paste
Mix almond powder or oatmeal with rose water and make a soft paste. Gently rub it on your face, leave it for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse off with cold water.
Tumeric/curry paste
Mix turmeric powder with lemon juice, apply the paste on the affected area, leave it for 15 minutes and wash it with lukewarm water
How to have a luxury wedding for less
Many girls dream of having a fairytale wedding, but this kind of ceremony comes with a very huge budget. What if you can get a beautiful luxury wedding for half the price? I watch Platinum weddings on the WE network, and who doesn’t want a wedding like that. Well here is your chance of a dream wedding on a budget.
The Décor
Centerpiece is a good way to make your wedding look chic and pricey, but this can be done on a budget too. You can do a simply stand with roses and carnations, put on a gold ball set in floral foam. Gold appear rich and luxurious which brings attention to the table. This can be done at average cost of $250.00. Add candles using continuing with the same theme of gold and crystal.
Invitation
For your invitation chose rich colors, example pastel shade paired with a muted metallic says “upscale” Do not stick to the boring white or cream, colors make a statement.
Use thermography or offset printing, because letterpress printing is very expensive. You can use contemporary font along with artful motif to bring out the design, this cost can run you roughly about $14 each which includes printed envelope, reception card, RSVP and map, from(www.invitedelight.com)
Buy your invitations as package, which will include your thank you notes also. This is a good way to save on cost.
Table
Use inexpensive place card for guest. A cost effective way to do this, is by printing the guest names on fine papers and display in pretty frames. You can get nice looking frames at the dollar store.
Choose lines that are lively for the table, such as bright hue or with plenty of texture (stitching, beading) giving the appearance of luxury.
Use votives, tapers and lanterns which are inexpensive to add ambiance to the table. Place votives alongside your centerpieces to cast a soft glow, and add tapers to give the arrangements greater height. If it is an outdoor wedding hang lantern along the walkway, this will illuminates it.
The Cake
Using fresh flowers can drastically cut the cost of your cake and at the same time make your cake look expensive. Decorate your cake with fresh flowers, silk ribbon and faux pearls. Also gorgeous stand gives a cake a big presence

How to clean your silver Jewelry
After you wear your silver jewelry for a while they begin to lose sheen, and they look like so fake items. I had that problem so I had to find a way of making my jewelry look new again. I am telling you this really works
Things you will need
* Toothe paste - I used Colgate Baking Soda & Peroxide Whitening Toothpaste
* Baking Soda
*Old tooth brush
* A piece of cotton cloth
* Cotton ball
* Windex
Steps
Mix togather toothpaste and baking soda until they form a paste. Next put some of the paste onto the cotton ball, and rub the paste on whatever jewelry you are cleaning. The cooton ball should look dark in color when you are finished rubbing.
Next use the tooth brush with some paste on it and brush the jewelry , especially if you are doing a ring the tooth brush will get into places the cotton ball could not get in.
Then you scrub the item with the tooth brush while under cold running water. Make sure all the paste is washed away.
Used the cotton cloth with a little windex to do the final cleaning. Rub with the cloth until you see no trace of black on your cloth, so a white color would be better to detect the color.
Your jewelry should look bright and new. Make sure to clean your items regular to maintain sheen.
How to find the perfect swimwear for your body type
Rate: (7 Ratings)
You can find the perfect swimwear if you know your body time. Most people make the mistake of buying a swimwear that does not compliment their body type. Below are the diffeent things that will help you to choose the Perfect swimwear for the summer.
--------------------------
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
****INSTRUCTION****
Step1
* Long Body * Choose swim wear that have low necklines. Try horizontal stripes and nappy fabrics, such as stretch terry and velvet, and totally avoid vertical stripes, high necklines and solid colors. One-piece and Boy shorts are good choices for this boy type. Hop for colors, as they bring life to your swim wear.
* Short Body * A solid, one-piece suit with a plunging neckline creates a continual, long appearance and is gorgeous. A solid one-piece suit creates an elongating affect on the petite body type and doesn't break up the body. Avoid boy shorts and skirted bikinis as they draw the eye downward and can make you look shorter.
--------------------------
Step2
* Small on Top* Bold prints or colors will flatter this type of body. Try to find a top with adjustable straps at shoulders and around back so that you can tighten and adjust things, to help fill out the top line. Emphasising contours will visually enhance the bust-line. Avoid straight across bandeaux and tops with too much fabric
---------------------------
Step3
*Big on Top* Halter tops are a great way to hold up your bust and still flatter your figure. Look for one-piece swimsuits with some structure in the bust. Avoid tops which are low-cut, and avoid strapless tops.
---------------------------
Step4
*Hour-glass shape* Halter or triangle bikinis in a light color with thin straps are best for you. These show off your best features, your legs and upper half.To minimize your hips, choose bikini bottoms in a darker colors
* Large Tummy Try either a one-piece or a tankini,also patterns will camouflage your waistline while baring your arms and legs. Choose a suit in a darker color, which will minimize your belly to a certain extent, or you can choose a lighter color or a print
