Getting your room organized will go a long way to maximizing efficiency. There is no single right way to do it: The trick lies in finding the way that works best for you.

I like everything organize, I store my bags , and my shoes the way I can see easy what I have …. is the way that works better for me ….

I like to keep my clothes organized by colours ……

10 Beauty hacks

/ Analucascardigos / 8 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

We always want to look cute, but sometimes, we genuinely don’t have the time. The majority of us want to have our makeup, hair, and nails done at all times, but this seems to be a somewhat impossible task ;

Here are 10 of the best beauty hacks;

 

  1. If you love winged liner but don’t have the hand-eye coordination to do it perfectly, no big deal: You can clean messy edges with a cotton swab coated with petroleum jelly.
  2. To make your eyes seem brighter, use a white eyeliner to line your waterline.
  3. Gently rub aloe vera on your face before bed to reduce acne scaring.
  4. If you want more voluminous hair, wash your hair in the reverse order; apply conditioner first, let it sit for five minutes, then add shampoo, and rise.
  5. Apply baby powder onto your eyelashes before putting on mascara for longer and darker lashes.
  6. For noticeably curled lashes, use a blow dryer to heat up your eyelash curler before using it.
  7. Put concealer on your lips before applying lipstick for a professional matte look.
  8. Repair your broken lipstick with match; simply place the broken pieces back in the tub e and use a lighter to heat it up for a few seconds. Place it in the fridge and it’s good as new again.
  9. Use red or orange lipstick to conceal dark circles;
    Apply the lipstick using a brush under your eye area, then reach for your concealer as normal and apply over the top, blending in with a brush or your fingers.
  10. Apply coconut oil onto your cuticles to strengthen them.

  3. Apply the liner that, matches either your lips or your lipstick exactly.
  4. Apply your lipstick with a lip brush, blending from the middle down to the corners of the mouth.
  5. Bolt with tissue. Now replay another coat of your lip colour, blot again and add lip gloss if required.

TOP 5 TIPS FOR LIPS 

  • If you decide a lipstick is too bright for you once you’ve got it on, but scrubbing it off will ruin your foundation, mix a bit foundation with Vaseline and smear this over the shade with your fingertip to mute it.
  • Dark, Matt lipsticks sometimes stain the lips. If this happens, rub the lips with olive oil.
  • Light shades , particularly shimmery or frosted ones , will make lips look bigger.
  • Using sheer lipsticks and lip stains is an ideal way for the nervous to branch out into deep shades like plums, raisins and reds.
  • If your lip gloss is too gooey, run an ice cube over your lips. it’ll keep the shine, but stop that sticky sensation.

Why do you wear makeup

/ Analucascardigos / 5 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back …..

If you ask different women the question “Why do women wear makeup?”  There is no one correct answer as women have their own reasons for wearing cosmetics.

For a Clearer Complexion

For women who have complexion issues, makeup can help disguise problem areas, although the main focus should be on a skin care routine to maintain clear skin. Concealers can hide dark under eye circles or blemishes. Foundations can smooth your complexion into an even-toned canvas. Makeup is great for creating the illusion of perfect skin if used the right way.

To Look Attractive or Glamorous

If you want to glam up your look, for a big night out or a special date, makeup will help you do that. You can choose whichever look you like best. One day may include smoky  eyes , shimmery lipstick, while the next might find you in the mood for thin black eyeliner and classic red lips.

Some women wear makeup to attract someone special. While men’s opinions differ on what kind of makeup they like to see on women, it’s better for women to wear what makes them feel attractive and confident.

Some  want to appear sultry and glamorous, others prefer a very natural look. They still use makeup to achieve it, but the idea is to have a polished look without looking like she’s wearing makeup. Done correctly, a woman may have on foundation, mascara and lip color without anyone even realizing it.

 Makes women feel more confident ….. 

It helps to improve your appearance and boost your confidence, and also improve your entire look. Similarly, the fact that we wear deodorant each day, so that we smell clean and fresh, women wear makeup to feel confident too.
