This is in reference to the previous post, which means another tip on foundation. If you need to wear make-up the whole day and simply have no time to re-apply (unless you have your own make-up artists to assist you like your favorite celebrities), set it with loose powder when you apply it the first time. Use lots and apply with a powder puff if you’re the type to perspire a lot. Just brush the excess off with a large make-up brush. You may touch it up throughout the day with compressed powder.

Can you handle three times longer?

Not all people are gifted when it comes to the length of their eyelashes. The types vary: very short (they squint if they’re out in the sun to limit the sun’s rays), short (not really evident from afar), long (they look like they have mascara all the time) and very long (some require cutting).

People with long lashes do not have problems since all they should do is cut it or just leave it as it is. However, people with short lashes complain that they look like Mona Lisa.

Rimmel London Lash Maxxx provides an answer to those who seek longer lashes. Their mascara can make your eyelashes look 3 times longer than its current length. The brush of the mascara acts like a “hairbrush” (with bristles) so you could “style” your lashes the way you want them to.

Celebrity dermatologists and popular make-up artists have some tricks up their sleeves when it comes to repairing make-up, or even preventing damage. One of the most common problems when applying foundation or make-up base is when you find it sliding right off your face. What you can do is buy an oil-absorbing product. Apply this on the oil-prone areas of our face such as the nose, the forehead, and the chin. The most recommended product is Seban Solution Facial Oil Inhibitor produced by Cabot Labs. Use this before applying foundation.

Do you remember the celebrity model, Iman? She has this very popular and very good line of cosmetics that is very suitable for women with dark or medium skin tones. The shades of the cosmetics blend subtly with most skin tones as the shades are very realistic (especially the foundation). They also not give a pasty or an unnatural Frankenstein-paleness when applied to skin of a darker tone. Visit their website: ImanBeauty.com for the rest of this amazing cosmetics line!
