Moisturizer: it is not an option, it is a must, ’cause it makes your face ready to the next step - foundation - a light layer of foundation must be applied all over the face either with a sponge or fingers.

As for me, I use lipsticks not very often, it is so challenging to choose the right one, and everything is completely different with lip-glosses. They are amazing and if you don’t know what to choose, just take a pale pink or transparent one. In any case, your lips will look glossy and sexy!

I’ve always been dreaming about a lip gloss and a moisturizing creme in one product, and finally, I found something like this, dear ladies, Bourjois La Creme Lip Gloss is to your attention.

Advantages:

• possesses a luxurious texture with a large number of various nourishing agents;
• this gloss is not a sticky one;
• contains macadamia nut and sweet almond oils;
• ensures long-lasting and superior shine;
• goes in 6 colours (even a choosy client will be satisfied);
• take care about your lips the same as a lip balm;
• smells delicious;
• will shows signs of ending in a year or something near this date;

Disadvantages:

• actually, the shine isn’t superior (so, if you want your lips look wet and sexy, better buy “Glam Shine” from L’Oreal);
• the smell is too pronounced and sometimes even annoying;
• I don’t like rolls - it is not very easy to apply lip gloss from them in a shipshape manner;

But, this gloss really works, my lips are gentle, without any cracks and cuts!

Eyes! What can be more important to our friends, bosses, colleagues and just interlocutors. Never forget, while communicating, where do you look at? Yeah! At the face and then? Directly into someone’s eyes. They are capable of revealing emotions, attitudes, reactions. It is very important to pay due attention to them, their appearance and, of course make up. Knowing how to apply eye shadows and how to create a successful eye make up seems more sophisticated than make-up of any other part of your face because here we deal with a great number of colors, methods and ways to make our eyes look irresistible. And, one minor detail, eye make up is the most effective one. As your eyes are a mirror of your soul and heart, of your inner world and preferences. They are main part of your body and face. It is so necessary to keep your eyes in focus. No doubt, a perfect make up, made in accordance with make up techniques can make a Queen out of a Cinderella.

So, the following techniques can be called the most important in eye makeup. They are basic as well. So, you can gather with your friends and make experiments with them.

Create the Illusion of Depth!

First of all, pat attention to what you are applying. Powder and compact eye shadows are the best variant, they can be used either moist or dry, they never leek and don’t make combs. Pencils look beautiful and make your eyes bigger and wider, but if you can not make an even line, don’ even try, your face will look untidy and awkward. Cream shadows are difficult to control.

Be ready to experiment!

Well, you have green eyes, so the only one color of your eye shadow is green! It is a common mislead. Don’t afraid to make various experiments! Try different colors and you will see the difference and find the balance and an optimal variant! Try a technique of neutral eye make up, and in such a case people will look into your eyes and not at them. But, of course, neutral doesn’t necessarily means, to make nothing out of yourself, it means to use different eye shadows - blue, gold, brown, pink, vanilla, but soft colors.

Emphasize your natural eyes beauty!

There are a lot of techniques and tools to do this! But, first of all, pay attention to the shape of your eyes and their color, remember that you have to accentuate your beauty and minimize drawbacks. Be sure, you have an access to a magnified mirror, it will shadow you the most noticeable drawbacks.

Highlight your eyes!

Methods of eye shading and highlighting is used to emphasize shape of the eyes. It is necessary to apply both darker and lighter eye shadows, in such a case your eyes will look wider and you will look irresistible and just sexy!

Heidi Klum is a fashion diva. She is famous, she is brilliant and irresistible. Whenever we look at her, whenever an occasional paparazzi caught a glimpse of her, she is healthy, her make-up is perfect and her hair-do is excellent. There are a lot of people, who are jealous to her. She is not just a fashionable girl, she is a stylish one.

She doesn’t like excess in make-up, she likes to look natural. Her main tip – is glitter! She uses it twice or thrice a week, wheile shopping or going for a party. It is her helping hand in any situation. Actually, it depends on the occasion, if you are going out apply two or three sparkling layers and if you are going into office or something like that, noblesse oblige – use as small sparkles as you can. Now, Heidi’s favorite is a pink lipstick with gold sparkles. It will be available to us only in November. This lipstick is almost invisible; it perfectly matches her pink lips, except…. It gives them some additional sparkling.

Heidi is a super model and a star of the television project, but according to her own words – she is fond of applying and creating make-up herself. In these minutes she feels herself like a person, which understood the essence of life.

She is so kind and gentle, beautiful and always willing to help! She is ready to share her main tips with us. So, while applying eye shadows and doing your make-up use the following technique: take eye shadows of one color but different tones, apply lighter eye shadow over the first part of a lid and to the rest of it apply darker eye shadow. It makes your eyes look bigger, wider and brighter.

Always remember about plum-colored eye makeup! And if you think that it will not suit you, stop pulling my leg! This kind of make-up emphasizes any face, any eyes. They become brighter and wider. It will never spoil your appearance!

Wear colors that can be used both for day and simply transferred into night colors. For example, instead of applying the darkest lipstick you have, use a  lighter version in the same tone. Make one layer in the morning and in the evening just add two more layers. You will look like a Queen!

Put your lipstick in layers instead of making one stroke! It will make your lips either fuller or sexier!

Discover lip glosses with strawberry or fruit flavor. During our lives we eat more than 1 kilo of a lipstick or a lip gloss, so, it better to eat a lip gloss with an apple taste, yeah?
