Celebrity Beauty Secrets

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.

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.

A little bit envious of those pairs of shiny celebrity legs? There’s a simple trick to it that I’m sure you’ll be able to use with very little cost. Just buy a bottle of baby oil! Put as few as small drops to generous amounts (it depends on how shiny you want it to be) of baby oil on your palms and slick down your legs. Rub gently on skin, until you have made sure that your skin has absorbed most of the oil. Do this before putting your (party) clothes on. We don’t want tell-tale marks showing after all. Try to apply standing up, so as not to ruin furniture with oil marks.

To make sure that your eyes do not looked washed-out and hollow after a hard night’s out, try applying foundation or a yellow-based concealer all over your eyes. Although you have to apply it on the lids, make sure that you start with small amounts of the foundation and blend it well with the skin. After doing so, don’t forget to set with powder to avoid creasing and sliding. You can now apply whatever eye make-up you wish to put on.

This is a great tip for Asian women or those who have a medium-toned or skin with yellow undertones. Like the previous post, try using foundation that is also yellow-based. There are lots of cosmetics lines that offer such hue in their foundation products. Most celebrity make-up artists simply use color that blends naturally with the skin as opposed to making the skin look pasty and doll-like. What you can do to make sure that you have the right tone of foundation is to test it on your jaw and look at in the mirror under daylight.

There are millions of toxins inside the human body—but only SOME are released through the different “holes” of the body (i.e. sweat glands etc.). So what about the rest?

Ashton Kutcher’s wife Demi Moore has a unique way of detoxifying herself with the aid of rather unique little creatures: leeches. She indicated that the leeches she uses aren’t the ones we normally see around the marsh but she specified that these are “medical leeches”, trained inside the laboratory to do such task: suck the blood of a person for detoxifying purposes only.

Demi indeed has her own definition of detoxification.

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!
