Eyebrow

How to Lighten Eyebrows
By an eHow Contributor
So you've finally found the perfect hair color, but now your eyebrows don't match well, or maybe your eyebrows are naturally just a little too dark for your tastes.
 Disharmonious Eyebrow










 Whatever the case, it's actually relatively easy to lighten your eyebrows at home, and there are several options available to make sure you get it just right.
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions.1
Apply a salon-quality facial bleaching cream to your eyebrows for about a minute. Unless you're looking to lighten your eyebrows dramatically all the way to blonde, you'll want to keep a close eye on the color when using this cream. Just one minute will turn raven black eyebrows to chestnut brown.

2
Try a tinted eyebrow powder to temporarily lighten your eyebrows. If you're looking for a subtle lightening effect, be sure to choose a matte powder, but if you're looking for a glam look, go with a shimmery powder or even glitter and sparkles.

3
Use a colored eyebrow gel for a temporary lightening effect with a styling hold. This is an especially good solution if you're looking for a sculpted look on top of the lightening for just an evening. Since most gels have a translucent quality, only a gel with a really strong tint will work for very dark eyebrows.

4
Call your favorite salon to have your eyebrows professionally lightened. Just like hair dying products, lightening kits for home use are very different from the formulas available to salons. Not only are the formulas different, but salon professionals are specifically trained to make sure that your eyebrows will come out just the way you want them. They can also provide waxing and shaping services as well.

5
Find the appropriate shade for your hair color. Contrary to popular belief, your eyebrows should not perfectly match your hair. Redheads should have auburn or reddish brown eyebrows to avoid having your face look washed out. Cool shades of hair should have cool eyebrows, but about one to two shades warmer than your hair. Blondes should go with a chestnut brown to prevent your eyebrows from disappearing completely. Black hair should go no darker than a charcoal gray.

6
Pencil in a lighter color for your eyebrows. You'll want to use a color a little lighter than you would expect since penciling usually colors the skin under your eyebrows instead of the brows themselves. The effect is that the dark color of your current eyebrows will visually blend with the extra-light color of the pencil, creating the combined impression of a lighter eyebrow.

I Love Smokey Eyes

Get Smokey Eyes

By Faith Lawless, About.com Guide

See More About:

 You should always only play up one feature (eyes or lips, not both), then why not throw a great gloss on your pout and make your eyes look hot by using these great smokey eyes makeup tips?
Here we will give you a quick and very easy guide to creating a great smoky look, without having to be an expert makeup artist. Plus, if your budget is virtually non-existent, we will help remedy this by supplying tips for affordable color as well as multi-use products.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 6-7 Minutes

Here's How:

  1. Apply your other makeup first. Skip adding concealer under your eyes though, since eyeshadow “fallout” will get trapped there and make your eyes look dark. Instead, apply your concealer after you finish your eyes. Also, make sure you get your blush in place before starting your eyes. When you have blush on your cheeks, it helps you to not overly makeup your eye area.
  2. Prime your eye lids. You should set a good base for the eyeshadow to lie on, so prime your eye lids by using an eyeshadow base, or in order to save money you can use an oil-free concealer or foundation. After applying the primer, allow it to dry before beginning your shadow.
  3. Apply a neutral colored base shadow. This should be applied over your entire eye lid, from lash to brow bone. Choose a good neutral beige that will basically blend in well. If possible, find one with a shimmer, not a glitter.
  4. Line your eyes. Using a black eye pencil, line the entire eye, upper lid and lower lash line. Get as close to your lashes as possible, and use your fingertip to move your lid around in order to get the liner into your lashline.
  5. Soften the liner. By using a small eyeshadow brush, or in a pinch you can use a Q-tip, gently go over the liner to help soften the effect.
  6. Apply black eyeshadow. Use either the sponge-tipped applicator that comes with eyeshadow, or a Q-tip, to apply black powder eyeshadow over the now softened eyeliner. Only do the top lid for now, since you have not applied your under eye concealer yet. Once you apply the eyeshadow, use the applicator, the Q-tip, or your finger to gently smudge the shadow.
  7. Apply your general shadow. You will need to choose a nice brown or gray shadow to apply to your eyelid area. If you can’t decide, go for one that is a combination of both, such as Max Factor MAXeye in Connoisseur. You should apply the color with either the applicator or an eyeshadow brush, starting at the lash line and going to the crease of your lid, and ending directly under your brow bone. The basic effect will look like an oval when you close your eye, more or less.
  8. Sweep under your eyes. Use a powder brush, or cotton balls, to sweep away any eyeshadow from under your eye area. With this done, you can apply your concealer and powder.
  9. Apply black shadow to bottom. Just as in step 6, apply a black powder shadow to the softened eye liner, with an applicator or Q-tip, then smudge.
  10. Encircle your eye with the general shadow. Using the shadow you selected for step 7, gently and gradually blend the eyeshadow into a circle around your eye area. This means applying and smudging the shadow under the eyes as well. Just make sure not to go too far under the eye or you will get the raccoon effect.
  11. Coat your lashes with black mascara. Try using a good black mascara, such as Maybelline Colossal Mascara in Black, and make sure to apply 2-3 coats on top and at least 2 on bottom.
  12. Check your work. Once your mascara is dried, check your work and blend any areas that stand out. Now is also a good time to gently sweep your powder brush, or cotton balls, under your eyes to remove any of the additional eyeshadow “fallout” from steps 9 and 10.

Tips:

  1. To save even more money, find a black eyeshadow that works well wet and use it as your eye liner too, such as Max Factor MAXeye in Precious Metals.
  2. Don’t be afraid to use color, instead of brown or gray for your general eyeshadow. Dark blues and dark greens are always great to use for a smokey eye look, but also gives some fun color as well. Try to find one that goes with your dress.
  3. To add a little extra fun to your lashes, use a black mascara as a base and then apply a colored mascara to the tips.
  4. Adding a little shimmer to a smokey eye can be fun. So try a shimmer pod, such as Bon Bons, and add a little to the corner of your eyes, under your brow, and directly above the pupil on your lid.
  5. The biggest tip is to remember to play down your lips since you played up your eyes. Try putting a neutral, lip-toned, liner on your lips and then a little gloss.

What You Need:

  • Eyeshadow base or an oil-free concealer or foundation
  • A neutral base shadow (a slight shimmer is okay)
  • Black eyeshadow (finding one you can wet can take the place of the black eyeline
  • Black Eyeliner (see black eyeshadow first)
  • A general eyeshadow, such as brown or gray (for fun use a dark jeweled color)
  • A good mascara
  • Sponge tip applicators, eyeshadow brush, or Q-tips

Make up : Bronzing Powder

Bronzing Powder
Bronzing powder is a multi-purpose item since it not only gives you that tan look but can also boost your mood!
Feeling the winter blahs already?  You glance in the mirror and there’s a pale little face looking back at you.  Gone is the summer glow, and the lilt in your step that goes with it.
What else is missing?  That’s easy.  This is the ideal time for your Bronzing Powder to go to work.
Whether you prefer a lightly frosted, tinted powder to give your skin sheer, natural color effects, or a powder that creates the sensual glow of a sun-kissed complexion . . . it’s all there in the bronzing powder of your choice!
You might enjoy having several different bronzing powders to choose from . . . one to match your mood; one for special occasions, or one that creates an all-over warmth just to chase the blues!
When you’re making your selection of bronzing powders, remember to look at your complexion with a discerning eye.


Are you fair skinned?  Does your skin have a slightly “olive” tint?  Maybe you have a hint of permanent blush to work with. Is your skin very dry, or somewhat oily?
It’s important to know that different types of skin react to different colors, as well as to the formula on which your bronzing powder is based.  Does an oil-free formula, or a mineral based formula work best for you?
For another important test of the bronzing powder you choose, simply put it on and view it outside in the sunlight.
Are you delighted with how it looks?  Now, test it at night.


Night time is a real good test for your bronzing since night time is when a lot of people date or meet that special someone.
So, looking your best is very important at times like those. But, feeling your best is even more important. Knowing you look great helps boost that self-esteem that gives you the “attractive” quality.
