Get Younger Looking Eyes With Makeup


Ever wondered how to achieve that "Eye lift effect" with your makeup? Well, today I am here to tell you how and I hope you enjoy reading.

Step One: DEFINED EYEBROWS 
Choose powder shadow the same color as your brows. Apply with an angled brush, using light strokes so the color isn't too heavy. What you are trying to achieve here is the illusion of hair. So, a light handed application will pay-off. This requires Patience.

Step Two: SCULPT LASH-LINE
Rim upper and lower lids with a black or dark grey powder shadow (a liner brush provides precise application). To really lift lids, be sure the top line is thicker than the bottom-- line it first, and use the leftover shadow on lower lashes. Both lines should meet at the outer corners and blend slightly upward. The softer you go here, the better. What you really want here are healthy looking eyes with elasticity, not painting. So, sculpt with intention of "effect" and not "colour"

Step Three: SCULPT LIDS
Think 'natural glow' here. Work with colours like brows, mocha, with just the right amount of shimmer. Blend, blend and blend more. When this is done... Use a colour that is very close to your skin tone on your brow-bone and blend into your lids. A little bit of shimmer would work here. But remember that the skin needs very little shimmer as it looses its elasticity.


Step Four: MASCARA
The key here is Lash Curler then apply 2 coats of mascara. Avoid applying too much here as it can look messy if it’s all clumped! Try not to get an effect immediately... Apply once and if it looks great to you... Stop, if you feel like you need more then apply another coat, but don't exceed 2 coats.

Below is what your eyes should look like. 


Hope you enjoyed reading.

    RADcollins Makeup Adventure: 'West Coast' meets 'Fashion'

    This was one of the most exciting shoots I had ever done. Reason is because... The photographer wanted to capture the beauty of "Exotic African Enviroment" and of couse the beautiful model from Germany was thrilled by the idea of the whole thing.... BUT! Here's the catch... I don't really do forests, mountains, scary animals and all that fun stuff because my perfume tends to attract some flies (In a good way). That being said... I do enjoy watching nature's beauties, and animals on 'National Geographic' channel and try to support when I can.

    After hours on the west coast, the birds having eaten all our food while we were on the top of the mountain... here is the result and I am HAPPY to share it with you!


    What do you think... She is beautiful, No? :-)

    What Guys Think Of Your Scent. Good & Bad

    From the scrientific evidence of what turns guys on. Here's what guys are really paying attention to.















    THE INGREDIENT HE LOVES
    Surveys have shown that Lavender is a floral fragrance that prompts relaxation and the effect can increase blood flow to his penis by 50 percent! "Cough! Cough!!"












    THE SMELL HE HATES: NAIL POLISH
    According to Cosmopolitan Magazine.
    The smell turns off approximately 52% of guys. The smell of nail polish really doesn't agree with a lot of guys. You don't neccessarily have to fence the use of your favorite nail colours... Just avoid applying nail polish when you're both watching TV together. (Some things are great with your Gay friends, Only")





    THE SMELL HE DREAMS ABOUT:
    GREAT-SMELLING HAIR
    Guys like walking beside a girl with great smelling hair and these days, even before your shoes... You hair is most likely the first thing he wants to compliment before your shoes.
    Studies show that smells like Vanilla gets a guys blood flowing






    HIS SCENT ON YOU
    Guys consider their perfume on a girl 'Extremely Sexy!' Think about it... It is known that men think about sex A LOT of the time during the day and the truth is... That scent he bought for himself most likely makes his think of Sex or Smelling SEXY. Wearing his scent will make his eat you up literally and figuratively... 'Cough Cough'

    Look Hot This Weekend: Megan Fox

    Megan Fox is a fierce lady with one of the most beautiful eyes EVER! So, this alone singled her out as almost every makeup artist's dream. Megan most of the time goes for 1 (one) colour gown and the gives it that punch with her makeup by either a deep red lips or a sexy smoky eye which makes you think of a "Black Sea" LOL! So, for this reason... She is my makeup inspiration to you for this weekend.

    (1st Process) Start with a "Traditional cream foundation" for an all-round matte look, a hint of peach colour blush, a natural shade of lipstick and top it up with gloss. Keeping face and lips Au Naturale. :-)

    (2nd Process) Use a shimmery, champagne shadow on your lid as well as highlighter or here you can use your foundation on your brow-bone and blend it down your shadow

    (3rd Process) Go fierce with your eyeliner I recommend SEPHORA KHOL WATERPROOF EYELINER because it can be smudged beautifully and last all day and it’s so easy to control. To get Megan's look, apply it very close to your lash line and smudge it all the way out, don’t do it once-off. "Build Gradually!" then finally use the same shimmery eyeshadow and place a dot on top and below the inner corner of your eyes and JUST LIKE THAT, YOU HAVE YOUR STUNNING MEGAN INSPIRED LOOK!

    Hey, Don't forget about her very naturally defined eyebrows :-)

    How to look Winter-fabulous with makeup.


    Winter for me is nothing but a dark. dark vampire season. A period of the year when you freeze your eyes black, your lips start to chap / flaky skin issues are not new topics.

    So, now let’s talk about what you mustn’t do in this cold, cold season!

    I hate to break it to you…. But the season of wanting to look like a ‘goddess’ is pretty much OVER! That shouldn’t make you not incorporate colour to your skin because if you ask me… Well, since people tend to look as pale as vampires do in the winter season because of the disappearance of ‘Uncle Sun.’ why not take matters into your own hands and give yourself that PUNCH of colour and dare to stand out!

    Here are my “AVOID & Dos” to help you look your best this 

         
         
     
                 
      AVOID “THE GODDESS LOOK- THE SUN IS OVER. You're gonna look 'Sick' if you do this.
      AVOID TOO MUCH HIGHLIGHT. Hmmm... BAD BAD BAD!!!!!
    You makeup sometimes has to change as like the seasons changes except you have a signature look that works for most season. FINALLY, GO FOR THIS HOT THAT I LIKE TO CALL "UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE" AND YOU WILL CERTAINLY LOOK 'HOT!
    XOXO
