Best Hairstyles For A Long Face

If you have along face, you need a hairstyle that will make the face appear wider and at the same time add some body to the head. The following tips will guide you to picking the best hairstyle for your face :

• Avoid long straight hair styles as the only make your face appear slimmer and longer. Such hair styles also make your head appear smaller and with very little body.
• Go for bumpy, curly hair styles to make your head much bigger and to add body at the back. You can also go for weaves and wigs with curls or waves.
• You can go for bob styles with a length not more than your cheekbones. This will also serve the purpose of adding body to the back side of your head and to widen your face. Long bob styles with more body can also be used on a long face.
• If your forehead is long, go for hair styles that will cover a bit of the forehead so that it appears shorter and balances with the rest of the face.
• Balance the weight of your hair with the size of your head; if your head is small, do not use weaves with too much body as it might end up looking unproportional.
• Pony tails clipped high on the head might make a long face appear longer because they expose more of the face without making it appear wider and without adding body to the head. When clipping your hair to the back, you can use large clips that will make your head look bigger or clip the hair on the back instead of the middle of the head.

How To Wear White Make Up

White make up is very outstanding and requires a lot of care when applying. You can use white mascara or eye-shadow to achieve a smoky hot look but you have to also consider all other aspects of your dressing and accessories. Follow the tips below :

White and black make up

• White make up looks best on a smooth skin. Make use of foundation to smoothen your skin if it is rough before applying the white make up.
• If you have small eyes, white mascara or eye-liner make your eyes appear larger. people with large eyes should use as little white around their eyes as possible to avoid enlarging their eyes further.
• You can add some glitter to your white eye shadow to make it more lively. Silver glitter is especially great when you want to achieve a more metallic look. 
• If you wear eyeglasses, avoid glittery white make up as it will tend to compete with the shiny surface of your eyeglasses. Eyeglasses for long sighted people also have a magnifying effect on your eyes and will automatically make your white make up more visible; use less make up with such eyeglasses. Short sighted people can use some more white make up around their eyes because their lenses have a diminishing effect on their eyes.
• White make up tends to go with cool coloured accessories such as silver, white, sky blue and icy colors. You can also wear white make up with grey and black accessories because they are neutral.
• Darker skinned people can do a mix of white and black eye-shadow with the white being more than black. You can even do a gradient shadow starting with black from your eye-liner and gradually moving to white at your eyelids.
• If you have a warm skin tone such as olive or tan, you can mix white make up with other warm colored make up like brown, bronze and pastel colors to avoid having too much contrast between your eyes and the rest of your face.

How To Look Good In Black Make Up

Black make up has the effect of making your eyes smaller and making your face less screaming. When wearing black make up you have to consider the clothes you will wear, their color scheme, the accessories you will be using and your facial features. Follow the guide below :

Black and green make up

• If you have small eyes, avoid putting on too much black eye shadow around your eyes as it will only make them smaller. People with larger eyes can use black eyeshadow to reduce their size and balance with the rest of the face.
• Black make up will go with almost all colors because it is neutral. Do no however wear it with very dull colors to avoid looking dull as well. Pale browns and pale blues should be worn with more caution when using black make up. Bright pinks and reds or other screaming colors like luminous greens can balanced well with black make up.
• When wearing black make up with black clothes, you can break the monotony with some brighter jewelery or add some glitter to your make up. You can also wear sunglasses with a bright colored frame or with some glitter decorations. Alternatively, mix black eye shadow with eye liner of another color like blue, green or purple.
• If you wear eyeglasses or are planning to wear sunglasses, be very careful with your mascara. Excess mascara might end up smudging on your lenses which is unattractive. Make sure also that your eye wear is well ventilated at the nose bridge because any sweating around your eyes spoils your make up or worse, the sweat will trickle down your face with a black color.Padded sunglasses prevent sweat from trickling down your face.
• You can mix black make up with metallic make up to give more luster to your face. Bronze concealer and black eyeshadow would work out very well to give you a smooth metallic bronze finish.Remember to put the bronze under black.

How To Look Natural With Make-up On.

Look Natural With Make-up On.

A natural look even after make-up is desirable to every woman as compared to the plastic and sometimes cakey face we sometimes get from make up.To ensure a great natural look with make up on, follow the following tips :

Removing old make up :
Always clean and moisturize your skin before you go to bed : Remove all the make up  for the day by dabbing with a soft cloth wet with clean water or make up remover. After removing make up, rinse you face gently and dry by dabbing then moisturize with a natural moisturizer.
Picking foundation :
Foundation is the base of every make up. Choose foundation with a color that is most closest to your skin color so it blends completely with your color. Go for a wet foundation if you have a dry or mature skin. Cream- powder foundations re very good at covering up all the rough areas of your face. If you have relatively smooth skin with few imperfections, you can pick a fluid foundation which is light and quite translucent.See How to Prepare your skin for make-up.
Choosing the right concealer:
Go for a concealer that mutes imperfections without changing your natural skin tone. Yellow toned concealers are the best as they don't interfere with your kin color.
Keep make-up light :
Go as simple as you can with make up and if possible skip liner or shadow to avoid having too much bulk on your face.
Choose the right blush color :
Blush color should be as close to your skin color as possible to avoid making it too obvious that you have blushed your cheeks.
Keep your lips soft and glossy:
Apply lip pencil of your choice, and blend to make your lips appear softer and then coat with lip gloss. Lip gloss should be applied with a brush for a more glossy look.
Choose your brushes:
Always go for quality brushes with quality bristles for a better , smoother and more finished look after make up. the brushes should also be kept clean.

Tips On How To Slow Down Ageing Of Skin.

Wrinkled skin is a dread for almost everyone and it has no advantage (not one I've heard of). Ageing cannot be avoided but can be slowed down to give you a look younger than your actual age. Consider the following tips :

• Be gentle with your skin :Whether you are cleaning your face,applying make up or oiling,avoid being too rough. Use a soft cloth to clean and mild soap. When oiling,avoid applying too much pressure especially at the eye area. Oiling using your ring finger instead of your palm is a simple way to avoid too much pulling of your skin.
• Have enough sleep : Experts say that enough sleep is healthy for your skin. Get at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep daily to relax your eyes and avoid eye strain during the day. Eye strain causes you to keep raising your brows and frowning once in a while which will result in a prominent and permanent wrinkle on your forehead when prolonged.
• Sleep in the right posture :You should lie in bed on your back instead of burying your face into the pillow. The constant pulling of your skin as you turn your head accelerates loosening and wrinkling. If you are unable to sleep on your back, use a soft silk pillow to minimise pulling of skin.
• Avoid substances that add toxins to your body : Tobacco and alcohol should be avoided at all costs if you mind an aged look.They cause a lot of free radicals in the body which speed up ageing. Smoking also causes the skin around your lips to get ageing lines which are unattractive.
• Quit all your bad drinking habits : If you are thirsty,go for pure water and not soda or juice. Water should also be taken regularly during the day even when you are not thirsty for re-hydration. Soda has a lot of phosphates which accelerate ageing. Intake of other drinks with a lot of caffeine such as coffee and tea should also be regulated.
• Watch your diet : Go low on fatty processed foods and high on natural grains, vegetables and fruits to increase on your vitamins. On top of that you can also take vitamin tablets if you don't have enough vitamins in your body.
• Minimise your exposure to the sun : Sun causes you to keep squinting and dehydrates your skin which are great ways of adding wrinkles to your face. If you can't avoid the sun, always have you sunglasses and sunscreen with you. Large wraparound sunglasses that cover most of the eye area are the best to keep off glare that causes eye strain.
• Go for natural skin products such as moisturisers and cleansers. That is a sure way of safety from any unsuitable chemicals.
• Massage and exfoliate your skin regularly: Exfoliation removes dead cells and unclog your pores which gives you a fresher look. It also allows for growth of new cells.
• Do enough exercise :Exercise crowns all your efforts by managing your weight and helping your body to relax. With enough exorcise (at least three times a week) you will eliminate all the excess fats and toxins that clog your skin.

How To Dress for The Gym.

Besides the work out,being at the gym needs you to make an effort on your looks because you are not the only one there.When choosing your gym outfit remember the following tips :

• You should be comfortable and confident at all costs.Don't pick clothes you are not okay with.When your confidence is down,you tend to avoid movements and your gym session becomes another boring place to be.
• Pick clothes that allow good air circulation during the work out especially if you sweat a lot.Clothes made of cotton ,polyester, spandex, or with mesh ventilation panels are a good choice.Jeans and nylon clothes trap moisture in your body and cause discomfort.
• Avoid baggy T-shirts and oversize shorts.They make you look too effortless and sometimes give the impression of you being a reckless person.Whether in shorts or trousers,go only for well fitting ones.
• Invest in a well fitting sports bra.The gym is not a place to move gently;you do a lot of jumping around and moving from one machine to another.If your chest is not well supported you will find it uncomfortable to do your work out especially in the presence of many people- coz hey,they can't keep their eyes shut for your sake.
• Tie your hair in a neat ponytail or a braid.You can add glamour to that by using a nice ribbon with clear beads or even you high school tie.Long hair should always be tied for a more comfortable work out.
• Leave your jewellery in the changing room or at home.Things like rings,bangles and long chains will limit you when it comes to handling machines.Some rings and bangles can even cause you injury if they get entangled with the machines.Besides that,it is very uncomfortable when you are jumping or running and a chain keeps hitting your face.
• Choose gym costumes with colours that are not easily stained.Grey and white T-shirts should be avoided especially by those who sweat a lot.It gives a very bad impression of you after the work out if you have yellow circles of sweat around your armpits.Blue and black shades are the safest to go by but if you are not much of the sweating type,you can opt for vibrant colours such as yellow,pink and green.
