Cosmetic Talk

Are you a beauty trend follower? Do you love to try new products and new colors? If you are, then 2012 and the newest trends are sure to excite you. What are some of the hottest trends this season?

According to Harper’s Bazaar, some of the trends this season, which were seen on the runways, include a mix of some of the old and the new looks. This includes rouge lips that some of us may remember our grandmothers trying to perfect, glittery eye accents that gave off a futuristic look, as well as natural tones and the smoky eye look that many of us have come to love.

This may mean that the overall look will be pairing some vintage looks with some natural modern twists. Some of these trends may be doable for most women.

However, the rouge red lipstick look won’t be a trend that will work for all of us women. For example, this writer has pale skin and reddish blonde hair. When she tries to pull off red lipsticks, all one ever sees is the red lipstick. It is too bold for her features. However, she feels she looks better in mauve colors and she loves the look of lipstick and hates leaving home without it.

Now on some women the rouge lips would look marvelous. It would make them looks sexy and give their lips the pouty look they may be craving.

The smoky eye look is one many women love. This is a look that looks especially good on women with brown eyes or eyes that they want to pop. It makes the eyes stand out and it gives them a sexy, almost cat-like look. Yes, it does take a little practice to create this look.

Natural and neutral shades are shades that most women will agree looks the best on them. They help hide their imperfections and help accentuate their best features. They also do this without people actually noticing the makeup itself. Most women feel like these are qualities that make every type of makeup a winner in their book and will gladly want to keep close at hand.

Finally, those glittery eye accents are fun to wear, especially at night. They make a woman feel young, vibrant and sexy. They also make a statement that says "look at me!" Once in a while, every woman wants to have people look at her and what better way to say this then through their makeup?

Yes, spring is here. The new spring trends are here, too. Yes, some will be misses and some will be hits. However, you have to admit they all are fun to try.

Spring is in the air. This means many women will be changing their makeup colors. Many women will be choosing some lighter shades. Some women will be switching out their red lipsticks for pinker shades. Some women may even choose lighter shades of blushes. What else may they choose to revamp their look now that spring is approaching?

As the weather warms, the sun will be shining more. Since women know that it is a no-no to lie out in the warm sun and it is a no-no to lie in the warm tanning beds, women have found a new way to get that sunny glow they love. They have found that bronzers can give them this glow, without any sun damage. For this reason, many are adding these bronzers to their makeup routine.

Some women may be adding bronzers all over their faces and skipping the usual the pink blushes. Some women may skip the full face bronzers and just add a touch of bronze to their eyes or lips. However, most women will choose to add a touch of bronze to their makeup routines off and on, especially on those warm spring evenings.

Another makeup trend that is getting some attention is the look of orange. Yes, orange is appearing on the lips in the form of lipsticks and lip stains. It is showing up on some cheeks in a new shade of blush and even on the eyes in an eye popping eye shade.

This writer finds some of the orange lipsticks and lip stains doable. They especially look nice with those with light colored hair. However, the orange eye shades are a bit much, in this writer’s opinion.

What do you think? Could you see yourself in orange lipsticks, eye shades or will you still with the bronzers and the pink shades?

The claim sounds like a simple one. Physician’s Youthful wear claims to make one look ten years younger. Now think about the claim. It really isn’t simple. It is just simple sounding.

How is it supposed to make one ten years younger? The foundation formula is supposed to melt into the skin and instantly even out one’s skin. It is supposed to glide on effortlessly. It is suppose to help hide those tiny lines and wrinkles that can make all of us look older. Over time, it is also suppose to help firm the skin and improve elasticity. Does it do all of this?

This writer hasn’t really been using it long enough to know if it will make her look ten years younger. She did try it a couple of times and agreed that it goes on smoothly. However, she did use the brush that came with the coverage/foundation formula. She used one of her favorite, clean, foam, sponge, wedge applicators.  It was easy to apply. It did glide on like the package indicated. It also helped to hide those small lines that were beginning around her eyes, without any additional eye concealer being used. It also helped to hide most of that one annoying parenthesis type wrinkle that had also began forming near her mouth.

She also liked the color. She choose the light formula since she has a fair complexion. She definitely liked the fact that it had a SPF 15 mixed into the ingredients. She keeps hearing how important it is to use daily sunscreen protection on one’s face.

She plans to continue using the makeup and see if these wrinkles do improve. She is hoping for the best.

If you wish to try this brand of cosmetic, it is located at most department stores, such as Wal-Mart.

Makeup can make you look more vibrant. Makeup can make you look more alert, when you are sleepy. Plus, makeup can make you look younger? How?

First, you need a little knowledge. Then you need the right tools.

What are the tools? You should begin with the right primer? When painting a house, a professional painter uses primer. A professional makeup artist also uses primer on the face of his muse. Primer can make one look as if they are standing in the perfect light, all the time. It helps to even out the skin and even smooth away the appearance of fine lines.

The next thing one may want to think about is the foundation they use. The foundations that state that they are illumination foundations are the best ones to use if one has dull looking skin. The reason why is that these newer foundations actually contain tiny light reflecting particles. These particles aren’t big enough to make a woman look show girl flashy. However, they are big enough to hide those tiny flaws one may have and help make the skin look radiant.

There are even things that one can use on the eyes to help make those fine lines seem to disappear and help the eyes stand out more. One definitely must use eyeliner. This is a magical tool to keep the eyes from looking so droopy, which is the first sign of aging eyes. One can even smudge the liner a little in the corner with a Q-tip. One should always smudge in an upward movement. This will give the eye an added little lift. Plus, one may want to experiment with eye liner colors. Many women say that the beige eye liners brighten their eyes best.

The last tool in the woman’s cosmetic bag that can help her look younger is her lipstick. That shiny tube can actually draw attention away from those tiny lines that may be developing around her beautiful lips.  One can use any shade that they like. However, one may want to skip drawing in the full crisp borders with the lipstick. This can call more attention to those mouth lines. One can try dabbing her finger slightly around the lip line to soften the edges a bit, once the lip stick has been applied. The smile will look juicy and the look will be softer.

Once she is complete, she will be more beautiful.  She will feel more put together. Plus, she will look years younger.
