Why do we need Vitamin C?
Everybody needs Vitamin C! From young growing active kids, to people who are over 50 years old. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant vitamin. It is important in forming collagen, a protein that gives structure to bones, cartilage, muscle, blood vessels and skin.

Certain fruits and vegetables like oranges, broccoli, spinach, berries, and watermelon are rich sources of Vitamin C. The recommended amount of Vitamin C for most people is 60 mg per day. Since our bodies do not make its own Vitamin C, we need at least one serving of fruit daily. To ensure that you get enough Vitamin C everyday, we recommend Bubble C!

When collagen is reduced it leads to skin dehydration and wrinkles.

Amazing isn't it? lol...

Smokieeee...

Smokey eyes have been a big style for quite awhile and there's no sign this particular trend is dying. Here we show you step-by-step instructions on how to get the perfect smokey eye.

The key to the perfect smokey eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly. Also, it's important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors. Nice mixes include: Soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue and peach base with green hue.

Difficulty: Average

Time Required: 10 minutes

Here's How:

Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called "primer"). Simply swipe the primer across the eye and let it dry before you continue to the next step.
Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If you're opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smokey eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.

Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smokey eye look) you'll want to use a eyeliner pencil because they're easiest to smudge. Once the line is drawn, run your finger over it to smudge the line. You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.

Apply light base color Again, the key to a smokey eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone.

Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it's time to get the smokey effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an  eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease. The key here is to blend, blend, blend.

Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if need be. 

Finish with several coats of mascara. You'll want to apply a few coats of mascara so lashes are thick and dark. If you don't have naturally long, curled lashes, curl them with a lash curler first.

Tips:

1. Remember to keep lips nude. When applying strong makeup (like smokey eyes or red lips) put the focus on either eyes or lips, never both. (Think Angelina Jolie: She either plays up her huge eyes or her huge lips, never both. If she did, she'd look like a clown).
2. For a bit of fun, try a blue or purple mascara. It will make blue eyes "pop."
3. Liner doesn't have to come in pencil form. Makeup experts know eyeshadows make some of the best eyeliners. To do this take an eyeliner brush, wet it, then dab wet brush into the dark shadow. This allows for a deep, precise line. You can also use the dark shadows without wetting brush first. Either way, eyeliner is necessary for smoky eye. 

 

What You Need

• Eye primer (you don't need it, but it's great for keeping shadow in place)
• 2 Shadows: One light, one darker
• Eyeliner
• Makeup brushes
• Mascara

EYE SHADOW TIPS

Ahhhh, eyeshadow. I'm a beauty editor and yet it took me years to figure out how to apply eyeshadow that:

1. Wasn't crooked (hello, mismatched eyes!).
2. Wasn't too dark or blotchily blended (yes, I know "blotchily" is not a word).
3. Didn't extend to the wrong, wrong, wrong upper reaches of my eyelids.

After years of seeing makeup artists in action and learning numerous eyeshadow tips and tricks, here are 10 favorite eyeshadow tips I wish someone had told me long time ago: 

Secret #1: Blending is key

Ok, well I sorta knew this, but I wasn't sure HOW TO BLEND. You use three different colors: The base, usually a very light taupe, a highlighter for the crease and a main color for the lid, but how to get them to look as if they merge into each other like the colors of a rainbow? My secret: Start light then go darker. Brush the base color to the entire eye up to the brow bone (base is the lightest color), apply the lid color (the medium color) and THEN apply the highlighter (the darkest color). Also, don't be too heavy-handed or you'll have to start over.
Extra tip: Practice makes perfect. Play with your makeup a few days before a big event.

Secret #2: Choose shadows that make the color of your eyes pop

Gone are the days when beauty experts advised against blue shadow. Matching the color of your eye with a shadow actually brings the color out (think blue shadow on blue eyes). At the same time, contrasting colors make eyes pop too (think a deep jeweled blue shadow on deep brown eyes or gorgeous golds with blue eyes).

Secret #3: Never apply deep color to your browbone -- unless you're doing a cover shoot for Vogue

You don't want the drama too much shadow brings. Apply shadow up to the browbone but don't apply shadow ON the bone unless it's a neutral color.

Secret #4: Highlighter can make or break your look

When applying dark shadow to the crease of your eye, be careful to blend only on the outside edge. Get to close to the eye and you'll cause your eyes to look teeny and beady.

Secret #5: Set shadow with a great base

Primers are super hot right now because they help set makeup that stays for hours. I've found the secret to keeping shadow in place for hours is a shadow base, or primer.

Secret #6: Shimmer is hot, but shows off wrinkles

Shimmer makes eyes really pop, but it also highlights heavy lids, lines and wrinkles. If you don't have wrinkled eyelids yet try this great look for shimmer: create a "nude" lid, but apply a bit of gold shimmer to the browbone. Gorgeous!

Secret #7: Smokey is great, but keep it to the lid

Making up a smokey eye? Keep color to the lid and just under the lower lashline. Don't extend color above the crease.

Secret #8: You should splurge on a good eyeshadow

A great eyeshadow like the Sleek pallets, would do the trick.

Secret #9: Make eyes brighter with white

A dot of white shadow or pencil on the inside of the eye near the tear duct will make eyes look brighter. You won't believe how eye-opening this is. It works so great, I use this trick even when doing my makeup for work.

Secret #10: Go for color

Consider mixing shades if you bought a color that's just too bold for you. Mixing an electric blue with taupe can turn out the most perfect color.

How to makeup for church...

Its another Sunday and a lot of ladies take extra hours on their makeup in the morning thereby causing a lot of husbands groaning in the car while waiting for them. Question is: is all that time wasting really necessary?

I have a couple of tips that could help save time and save our men the trouble.


Well, people at church really shouldn't judge you by your make up, but probably something light and soft. Light eyeshadow, (light pinks or blues), with a little mascara. (eyeliner if you want, just not too much) a light pink lip gloss, or clear lip gloss. Maybe a nude lipstick would be good too! Just remember to keep is simple, besides, its Church!

Makeup tips: LIPS

Makeup Tips: Lips

So you weren't born with Angelina Jolie lips. Neither was I, but I can show you how to make your lips appear plumper (perhaps not THAT plump) with these makeup tips.

How to Get Rid of Scaly Lips

If you suffer from scaly lips, a simple do-it-yourself trick to exfoliate them takes only a finger scoop of Vaseline and a toothbrush.

Step 1: Slather lips with petroleum jelly
Step 2: Use a toothbrush to massage in the jelly in a circular motion.
Step 3: Wipe off the excess petroleum jelly.

The toothbrush exfoliates lips while the petroleum jelly leaves lips extra soft. Repeat a couple times a day until your lips are no longer scaly. 

How to apply false lashes yourself!!!

False eyelashes have come a long way since the seventies when women wore huge, gaudy varieties that looked fake. These days many women wear them to enhance their eyes, whether they're celebs on the red carpet or women going about their everyday business. Here's how to apply false eyelashes so they look as natural as possible.

Difficulty: Average

Time Required: 10 minutes

Here's How:

1. You have several options when it comes to false lashes: A full set of false lashes or small clusters of individual lashes. If you buy a full set you can cut them into individual lashes.
2. If the lashes you bought are too long, you can trim them by cutting them at an angle. Make sure to cut each individual lash at a different length so they look more natural. Always reserve the longest clusters for the outside corners of your eyes.
3. To prep for the application, make sure your eyelid and lashes are clean of any makeup. Curl your real lashes with an eyelash curler. You can warm the curler under a blow dryer for about 3 seconds. Just make sure the metal isn't too hot for your eye.
4. Apply a liquid liner to eyes to conceal the lash roots.
5. If you are applying individual lashes, put a few drops of lash glue on a hard surface. Let it dry for a minute until it becomes tacky. Use a set of tweezers to pick up eyelashes and dip the root in the adhesive. If you are using a full set, apply a thin strip of glue along the base of the lashes using a toothpick or a super fine makeup brush. Avoid applying the glue with your fingers because it gets messy fast. Wait a few seconds for the glue to dry a bit.
6. If applying individual lashes, start at the outer corner of the eyes. Take the tweezers and wedge the glued lash into your natural lashes. Hold it in place for a few seconds so it dries in place. Stay as close to the root of your real lashes as possible. You'll want a couple clusters at the outer corner of the eye and one in the center of the eye or wherever your real lashes are sparse. Make sure to leave a natural space between lashes. The secret is to keep the clusters to five or fewer and stay away from the inside of the eye.
7. If applying a strip, use your fingers to hold the lashes and apply on the lid as close to the roots as possible from the outer corner of the eye in. If you notice the lashes are too long, take them off and trim them.
8. Use a Q-tip to press lashes in place.
   

Q-TIP










9. Once the false eyelashes are applied, let them dry for a couple minutes. Now you can do your eye makeup. You can create a cat eye by lining the upper lashes with a black liquid liner, drawing a wing at the outer corner of the eye and then working back from the outside in. For a less dramatic look, apply a dark eyeshadow along the upper lash line. This camouflages the false lashes.

10.Apply mascara to lashes to blend them in with your real ones.

Makeup Tips: Eyebrows

When a woman has perfectly shaped brows, she can look put together even without a drop of makeup. This is why brow-shaping should be the one weekly beauty regimen you should never skip.

How to apply the eyeliner...

Eyeliner is one of the most important cosmetics and can give you a dramatic look without much time or effort. Whether you choose a soft line or a dramatic stroke, you can embellish the windows to your soul by spending just a few minutes in front of a mirror with an eyeliner pencil.
STEPS:

Choose an eyeliner that is appropriate for your eye color. Browns, gilded bronzes, and plums are great for lighter eyes, and darker eyes can pull off a more dramatic black backdrop. Forest greens can make brown eyes pop. Silvers and charcoals look best on green and blue eyes; rich red browns for green eyes and golds for blue eyes.

Note: Red tints make eyes look redder and blues make them whiter. Make sure your liner complements the color of your shadow.

Consider the type of look you're trying to achieve. Pencil eyeliners will give your eyes soft definition, while liquid versions offer precision and drama. There is a wide variety of powder liners available, and you can also moisten dark eyeshadow and apply it with a small, flat brush to double as liner.

Preparation

Make sure everything you need is handy (and ready to go) before you start.

• If you are using a pencil, sharpen it (see Warnings). Warm and soften the very tip of the pencil by heating it with a hot zap from a hair dryer. This will help it write smoother.
• A liquid liner should be checked for clumps or excess.
• Assemble your smudging pencil and/or brushes in a convenient spot.
• Prepare a cake (powder) liner or a dark eye shadow by applying a small amount of water (usually one or two drops) to your brush. Move the wet brush gently through your cake liner or dark shadow, holding the brush or pencil as you would hold a pen.

Applying the Eyeliner

• Rest the elbow of your dominant arm on a hard surface, and rest your wrist on your face.
• Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing you to see what you're doing.
• Use your left index finger (if you are right handed) or your right index finger (if you are left handed) and pull your eyelid gently to the side and slightly up, toward the far end of your eyebrow. This step is optional, because some people find it easier to draw accurately on a relaxed eye; also, stretching the eye may encourage wrinkling. Try both ways to see what is best for you. To prevent the eyelid from shaking if you do not pull it, focus gently but intently on your eyes in the mirror. If you are applying eyeliner to someone else's eyes, ask them to choose one spot on the wall to look at. Keep your arm steady.
• Draw a line across the upper lid on the lash line (as close to your lashes as possible while still on the lid). This creates the desired illusion of having thicker lashes.
• If you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your eye.
• Soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger. If you desire a crisp, straight line, as is the case with liquid eyeliner, do not alter unless it's messy. Any cleaning touch ups should be done with a cotton swab dipped in eye makeup remover.
• Remember that there are many variations on eyeliner looks . If this is your first time, you might want to start with a smudged eyeliner look
• Line the lower lids . Trace the outside of your eye (close to the lower lashes). Moving from the outside edge inward, draw a line lightly, but don't go for perfection, you can go back over the faint line and darken after the stroke. Your line should be slightly thicker at the outside corner, becoming thinner as it moves in toward your nose. Follow the shape of your eye. It looks more natural.
• For a natural look, apply brown or black/brown eyeliner to 1/3 of your top lash line, and 2/3 of your bottom lash line. Blend the line with a cotton swab.
• If you want a dramatic look, try double winging your liner. Or try a thicker line. Try different styles and find your favorite. But a classic line always works great.

Things You'll Need

• Eyeliner
• Cotton swabs
• Makeup remover
• Soft shadow brush
• Makeup remover wipes
• Eyeliner brush (if using gel eyeliner)

MAKEUP TIPS AND TRICKS...

Our best makeup tips in one spot. Once you learn the basics, applying makeup isn't as daunting as it seems when you're standing in the midst of a makeup aisle. There are many tried-and-true tips and tricks that the experts know and we're sharing with you. Get these basics down, and you'll perfect a daytime and nighttime look.

  HOW TO PROPERLY APPLY MASCARA


Ace your mascara application with a 3-step process:
 Step 1: Wiggle the wand left to right at the base of lashes. It's the mascara placed near the roots -- not the tips -- that gives the illusion of length.

Step 2: Pull the wand up and through lashes, wiggling as you go. The wiggling part is key because it separates lashes.

Step 3: In this final step (which I always skip), close the eye and place the mascara wand on top of lashes at the base and pull through to remove any clumps.

Basic Steps to Applying YOUR Make-Up

Step 1: Clean Face; ALWAYS start with having a clean face. It is important that your skin is clean to prevent breakouts, clogged pores, rashes, or any other allergic reactions. This way you can start off with a clean slate. Or as I like to call it...a clean "Canvas"
Step 2: Moisturizer; Make sure you start off with having a good moisturizer. This way you can prevent any flakes from having dry skin, as well as protect your skin if your moisturizer includes a sunblock. If you want to make sure your moisturizer is being applied correctly or all over you can use a specific foundation brush to make sure you don't miss a spot.
Step 3: Foundation, Concealer, Pressed Powder; Now these steps will not apply to everyone. Especially if you are between the ages of 11-15 your skin may not need a foundation. However, even those with clear skin will apply a foundation in order to have an even skin tone and have that flawless look. It is important when choosing a foundation that you choose the color that will not make your skin look lighter then what it is. A good way to test foundation is to do a swatch on the outside of your hand. Rub it in, and this will show you if your foundation is the right color or not by how it blends out. As for Concealer make sure it is one shade lighter then your foundation, in order to apply under your eyes for dark circles or any blemishes.
DIRECTIONS: Primer - (if you choose not to use a moisturizer) Get a primer that works best for you, that will not make your skin oily. This way you can have that fresh all day look. 

Concealer - Use your concealer as a camouflage for under-eye dark circles, blemishes, or acne. Apply lightly
Foundation - Start off with shaking your bottle, this way the foundation is mixed well and ready to be applied. Pour just a small amount onto the back of your hand using your middle finger, make-up sponge, or foundation brush. Apply to the center of your face, cheeks, and T-Zone ( across forehead and down nose). It's important to watch out for how much you are applying and how you are blending, in order to create that flawless look. Lines to be cautious of are your hairline and jawline. Also pay close attention to how your blending around your nose and mouth.
Pressed Powder - Your pressed powder is used as just that...pressed powder. These are good to have when away from home when in need of any touch ups. Be sure to apply this immediately after you have applied your foundation.
Step 4: Eyeshadow; If this is your first time with applying your eyeshadow DO NOT worry about doing all the extra steps that come with it. Eyeshadow can be used in 3 different steps. Lid, Crease, and Highlight. Now a days there are eyeshadow applications that you can get at your local drugstore that have every step written down in order for you to create a look. The dark shade is used to line your upper eyelid, in a very thin line along the upper lashes. The medium shade is for your crease, and the ligther shade is for the area that is under your eyebrow. However, do not get discouraged if you want to use a shadow as an all over shadow you can do that as well. If this is your first time with applying make-up, I suggest doing just an all over eyeshadow and gradually teach yourself how to do different techniques as you gradually become familiar with the product.
DIRECTIONS
Lid, Crease, and Highlight - The easiest way to apply all of these and merge them together is start from light to dark. Use your eyeshadow brush to apply your lid, crease, and highlight. BE GENTLE. Their are several different eyeshadow brushes, but if you are a beginner then pick one eyeshadow brush that you are comfortable with and gradually graduate to the different brushes.
*5 Easy Tips* -
#1. A secret to making those beautiful eyes pop, is to choose a eyeshadow that matches the color of your eyes. OR! be different, try a contrasting deep dramatic color on a brown, blue, green, or hazel eye.
#2. Keep your day look different from your night look. If you work in a professional setting such as myself, remember to keep it natural during the day and dramatic for the night. If you want to apply shadow on your brow bone for a day look remember to use it as your highlighter or use a natural tone.
#3. Shimmer and Smokey Eye's are fun, however one can cause wrinkles, as well as create a heavy lid and line. While the other can just simply make you look like a clown. If you want to create a shimmer look use a nude lid, and apply your shimmer to the brow line. Color of your choice! With your smokey eye, just don't over do it, and remember your smokey eye can be used with many different colors from pinks to purples to golds. Keep the color applied to your lid and lower lash line DO NOT apply the color above your crease.
#4. Pairing your shadow with your lip color. A well known beauty rule is "Thou Shalt Not Play Up The Lips AND The Eyes" Unless your a super model, try to keep one darker then the other. If your going for a dramatic lip keep your eyes light.
#5. If you want your eyes to look brighter, apply a dot of white shadow or pencil on the inside of your eye near your tear duct.
Step 5: Eyeliner; Eyeliner is a good secret to enhancing your eye. Making your eyes POP! Black eyeliner is usually the most common color that is used to pull looks together, or a color that is close to black. You can either use an eyeliner brush or your typical eyeliner pencil.
DIRECTIONS: When applying your eyeliner start from the outside corner of the eye, create a slant, moving in short slow strokes towards the inner corner of your eye making sure that your line is as close to your upper lashes as possible, you can also line the lower lid that is below your lashes, be sure to line only half way thru unless you are wanting to create a darker eye look then you can line the entire lower line. Also remember that eyeliner is exactly what it's called..eyeliner NOT lid liner. Your eyeliner should be applied with a nice thin line, to give your eye's that extra accent it needs to stand out.
Step 6: Mascara; ALL mascara works differently. Most people may not be aware of that, but it does. Each mascara comes with a different trick. Regardless if you like long eyelashes, thick eyelashes, etc. You can find a mascara that works differently for you.
DIRECTIONS: With Mascara it's important that you DO NOT clump it on. Use your wand wisely, treat your eyelashes nicely but carefully in order to prevent a mess around your eyes you want to apply 2 thin coats. Brown mascara is known to work best for a fair natural look, but both brown or black work well for darker looks. I would not suggest wearing a pink or blue mascara within the work place, I would only suggest those colors for fun. Also, now a days, fake lashes are another accessory that is added to a make-up routine.
Step 7: Lips; Your lip color will also make a difference in how your canvas looks when complete. Be sure to choose a lip color that fits your skin tone and fits your everyday look, also try mixing colors to get that perfect look that's right for you. You can start off with a pretty lip gloss, or lipstick. Either way be sure to get something that is long lasting.
DIRECTIONS: I find it easier to apply my lip application with my finger, wand, or just straight from the tube more so then with a lip brush b/c brushes can be a bit too thick or too hard. You can also apply a lip liner, but apply this after applying your lip application not before in order to prevent a dark circle of lip liner once your lip application has worn off, remember that your lip liner should match the same color as your lip application if not close to it. Also, it is important to choose a good chap stick for your lips in order to prevent dry chapped lips. That's definitely not a good look.
Step 8: Blush; Blush is exactly what it's called. Blush. A secret essential to your look. Do not over do it!! It does NOT need to be blended if so then you have applied too much.
DIRECTIONS: With your blush all you need to do is apply it softly on the bones of your cheeks with a cheek brush that suits you. An easy way to make sure your applying it correctly is to smile so that the apples or pillows of your cheek bones are visible giving you an easy on application where all you need to do is dab it on. You can choose anything from a pink blush, to a nude blush. In order to create that fresh look for your canvas.
I hope these steps will help! Stay tuned for more..
