How to Get the Perfect Lip Look: Sure-Fire Tips to Apply Lipstick to Thin Lips

Most girls with skinny or thin lips dream of having fuller lips. And this year they are in luck! You can take two approaches to get the perfect lip look.

First, contour them with a liquid lip liner right outside of your lip line. Just, don’t go overboard! Blend it towards the lips to avoid any harsh lines. Then apply the color lipstick of your choice, preferably with a brush.

Now apply a dab of a lighter lipstick to the center of the lower lip. And finally, give them an illusion of roundness by applying a pearly color, glitter or gloss on the center of the lower lip.

For the second approach, draw your outer lip line with nude liquid lip liner, apply rose-gold or nude liquid lipstick. Now grab some glitter or shine and add a highlight right above your cupid’s bow and in the center of your bottom lip to really plump it up!

A lip look any bride would love to have.

Tip: If you have thin lips, avoid matte lipstick because it will make your lips look even thinner. Pick a glossy lipstick instead.

Makeup Tricks for Full Lips or Wide Mouths

The trick to disguise a wide mouth or full lips is basically the same. Apply a makeup base on the lips and then outline them with a color as similar to your skin as possible following the outline inside them. You can use any lipstick kind, but ideally go for more matte and non-glossy lipsticks. Gloss will make your lips look bigger.

Go for the gold!

How to Get the Perfect Lip Look for Irregular Lips

Irregular or asymmetric lips can happen when one of the lips looks much bigger than the other. To make them look the same size, delineate the outline of the smallest lip outward or the larger one inwards to make them look even. If the lip corners are dropped, the makeup trick is to draw the outline a bit upwards to give them the opposite look.

Apply glitter to your Cupid’s bow for a plumpier, glossier lip. Remove the extra glitter with some scotch tape. If it’s already pronounced, skip this step and add some shine to your lower lip!

This year, the fuller the better. Show off those plump lips!

The best makeup tips to make your irregular lips look fab.

Lipstick & Bold Makeup Trends for 2018 you can Pull Off

This year lips shine and the trend is towards frosted or glittery lipstick – it’s all about romantic sparkle and metallics – in your fav shade.

Gloss, gloss and more gloss (a la Rihanna!) in gold, nude, silver, peach, rosy or moody tones like burgundy and copper. Dare to mix deep reds with orange glitter. Keep scotch tape handy to remove the glitter that falls onto your skin.

How to get the perfect lip look for your lips.

Ditch brightly colored lipstick in favor of colors that closely match your lips. Avoid the perfectly lined lip look and go for liquid lip liner, hydrating lip tints, balmy lipsticks, and fuller, juicier lips.

If you love bold red lips, the only way to do it in 2018, is to have a very barely-there rest of the look makeup. Let your lips tell the story and be the center of attention.

You can also go for a cherrybomb lip look where the majority of color is concentrated on the lower lip, whilst the upper is given just a subtle stain and finish with lipgloss (obvs). There’s a lot of fun to be had on lips this year!

Bold makeup trends you can pull off. A touch of purple on your lips.

How To Get a Long-Lasting & Perfect Lip Look or How to Kiss-Proof your Makeup Step by Step

Ever wondered what to do to make sure lipstick stays on? Well then, write down this fab tip to apply lipstick and get a long-lasting lip look. This trick is guaranteed to last all day long!

How to kiss-proof your makeup step by step.

One of the best options to get a long-lasting and perfect lip look is to use a base. With practice, this process should take you just a couple of minutes. You will see see that in the end it’s well worth it.

Use the same base that you apply on the rest of your face and apply it gently on your lips. Let it dry.
Line the lips with a pencil or liquid liner. If you want a really long-lasting lip look, paint your lips completely with the lip liner.
Apply the lipstick (preferably with a brush) leave it on for a minute to let it dry and then reapply.
For an even longer lasting lip look, you may apply a little facial powder with a brush. This will make the color last a little longer but it will make your lipstick more matte. So, gloss it up!

10 Natural Skincare Tips for Brides and Great Results with No Toxins!

Today we are sharing our 10 favorite natural skincare tips for brides! We guarantee that the sooner you start taking care of your skin, the more stunning you will look!

Stand out on your wedding day. The healthier your skin the better your makeup will look!

We rounded up our 10 most favorite and effective natural skincare tips for brides and we are sharing them with you. If you are craving that glowing, spotless skin for your wedding day and you prefer to stay away from harsh chemicals, check out these natural masks and DIY beauty treatments.

For better results, pick the ones whose routine you can truly stick to. Beauty and radiant skin take work and dedication. Start early on and glow like the queen that you are. BTW, you can share these natural skincare tips with your better half. They don’t just work on women, you know. 🙂

Why is Natural Skincare Growing in Popularity?

There is a trend towards the more natural ingredients versus the ingestion of industrial chemicals. People are also more aware of the importance of protecting the environment and going green.

A growing number of people – particularly women – are rejecting chemical-filled treatments and cosmetics for higher priced, natural, plant-based alternatives. Besides being more effective, organic and natural skincare ingredients protect us from ingesting harmful preservatives, parabens, and irritants—found in their chemical counterparts. Nothing like the original, amiright?

We see it on the food industry with more farm-to-table and sustainable catering and in the beauty industry with the growth of natural skincare products. After all, the skin is our largest organ and powerful chemicals can be quickly absorbed through it.

We rounded up our 10 most favorite and effective natural skincare tips for brides and we are sharing them with you.

Our 10 Favorite Natural Skincare Tips for Brides

Your skin deserves that organic, DIY TLC. So, rocking that perfect makeup wouldn’t just cut it if your skin isn’t healthy and clean enough. Easy, relatively cheap and effective, DIY natural skincare is a trend in the business of looking good today, for those whose budget cannot afford natural, off the shelf products. Thankfully, here are our 10 favorite natural skincare tips for brides you can make at home.

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #1 Get a Good Night’s Sleep

First, the most important natural skincare tip for brides is your snooze. The best beauty treatments can remain ineffective when you binge-watch Netflix all night. A good 7 to 9 hours will really make your skin bloom and regenerate your physical and mental health before you say I do.

If you have a hard time getting a restful and uninterrupted sleep, there are some natural ways to induce it. Become lavender-friendly and spritz some on your pillow and bedsheets before going to bed. Aromatherapy works wonders!

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: Get a good night’s sleep.

Spritz your pillow with lavender for a more restful sleep.

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #2 Stay Hydrated & Moisturize

As you rest, don’t forget your water. Take about eight glasses per day! Cleanse out the toxins with pure water— and try to avoid coffee, soda, or alcoholic beverages, at least a week or two before your nuptials.

Getting plenty of water is one of the simplest yet effective natural skincare tips for brides. By chowing down on water-rich fruits grapefruits, watermelons, and even lettuce and broccoli, your skin will remain naturally hydrated and fresh.

One of the latest additions to the natural skincare line, is the biotechnology-backed Biossance ($58), a 100% plant-based that relies on squalane, a mega-moisture molecule that helps hydrate skin.

10 things that brides with perfect skin do.

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #3 Eat Right

For that youthful glow in your skin and hair, chow on some of these foods. Avocados, goji berries, dark chocolate are foods that contain anti-oxidants and protect you from free radicals. They will soften your skin and maintain it supple.

Carrots, kale, spinach, tomato and broccoli will provide the needed vitamin A to promote proper skin cell growth and will help keep your skin fresh and alive.

Foods rich in vitamin C contain anti-inflammatory properties. Eat fish—they are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids—and your body will thank you for it.

Keep your skin healthy and alive. Eat better, feel better.

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #4 Masks for Oily Skin

Oily skin breeds whiteheads, blackheads and die-hard pimples. An oatmeal mask (oatmeal plus honey) applied for 30 minutes will freshen your skin after you wash off the mask with warm water and a washcloth.

Make friends with clay masks. Check our Khiel’s rare earth deep pore cleansing mask formulated with Amazonian white clay, oatmeal, aloe vera and camphor will leave your skin clean, hydrated and super smooth.

Honey has antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that fight against acne and nourish damaged skin.

Keeping your skin smooth and clear can be tricky, but these organic hacks make it easier.

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #5 Scrubs for Dry Skin

Do you suffer from dry skin or is the weather too dry? Prepare this simple natural skin scrub, a combo of milk cream and honey. Start with a clean face, apply for 30 minutes and rinse with cold water.

Another magical scrub to improve your dry skin is a 20-minute application of milk powder and drops of lemon juice.

Oatmeal and shea butter are both moisturizing and nutritious to your skin.

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #6 Get rid of Blackheads

Dirt could find its way inside your pores and result in nasty blackheads. A 30-minute application of a homemade mixture of egg white, honey and fresh lemon juice can do wonders to your skin.

To get rid of nose blackheads, mix lemon juice and baking powder. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda, 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of granulated brown sugar in a cup. Beware: when you add lemon juice to baking soda, the last one will bubble, So, add it slowly and don’t worry, it’s expected. Stir until the ingredients are evenly blended. Dampen your nose skin and apply the scrub. Massage it gently with your fingers. Leave the scrub on for 10 minutes, and rinse with lukewarm water. Works like a charm.

The sooner you start taking care of your skin, the more stunning you will look.

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #7 Instant Glow

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #8 Away with Dark Circles

Get rid of the bags and circles under your eyes. Apply rose water with a cotton ball to the under-eye skin. Leave on for 15-20 minutes, remove gently and repeat daily. Another great and refreshing idea, slice a couple of cucumbers or potatoes and let them rest over your eyes.

One more simple technique to get rid of the dark circles: cold tea bags. Soak a tea bag preferably a chamomile or green tea bags in water. Let them cool off and apply over eyes.

Tea contains anti-irritant properties that help reduce swelling around your eyes.

Cucumber benefits for the eyes.

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #9 Exfoliation

All brides may want to up their exfoliating game. Do it regularly to improve your skin’s overall texture.

A sugar scrub is highly effective to exfoliate your skin. Mix a half-cup of sugar (white or brown) with olive or jojoba oil to make a paste and apply gently in a circular motion. Let it sit for 10 minutes and wash with warm water.

Natural skin exfoliant: sugar scrub formula.

Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells, help keep pores clean and improve blood circulation, which will give your skin a healthy, more youthful glow.

Natural Skincare Tips for Brides: #10 Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles

Did you know that Spanish lavender extract helps reduce wrinkle formation? Retinoic acid from rose hip seed oil ($48), instead of Retinol, reduces the appearance of fine lines. There’s a wide variety of natural skincare products like coconut cleansing oil, kale and spinach age prevention cream and we can expect the natural category to expand even further! Enjoy!

The natural makeup look is much better without wrinkles and fine lines.

The Best and Dreamiest Trending Wedding Hairstyles

We scoured the web in search of the most stunning bridal hairdos to bring you this collection of trending wedding hairstyles! Check them out!

Such a stunning hairstyle for a trendy bride.

Now that the hardest part (finding that perfect wedding dress) is over, do you know how you will complement it with the perfect hair style? We are loving some of the daring looks brides are trying out this year. Whether you plan to wear your hair up or back, you will look flawless in any of these styles.

Trending wedding hairstyles: Buns

Buns? Yes, a few variations of buns are on-trend this year. If you are looking for a romantic, ethereal look, a low braided bun might be the ideal look for you. For a more polished, modern look, ditch the braid and wear a simple low, side bun. This look pairs quite well with neutral makeup to show off the bride’s natural beauty.

Higher buns are also expected to be a top look amongst the trending wedding hairstyles. But not the tight, ballerina buns we have seen in the past. Carolina Herrera bridal show showed off top knots that were loose and frayed to give the bride a more relaxed look.

Trending wedding hairstyles: Flower Crowns

This year, brides are embracing their inner romantic, bohemian goddess by adding in flowers to their braids and up-dos. These looks were everywhere during this season’s wedding shows and are expected to be a big trend for next year. The flowers also perfectly compliment the natural look that is on trend.

Today we’ll show you some secrets to make your eyes dramatically stand out all by yourself.

Cat eye makeup: 2 tips to achieve the perfect cat eye shape!

For a successful application and a perfectly shaped cat eye makeup, take a look at your eye shape. If your eyes are turned up, follow the natural curve of your eyes and line along the eyelid and lash line.

Daytime Cat Eye Makeup: How To Do Cat Eyes Step by Step

First, let’s gather the materials we will need. A black kohl pencil and a black gel liner. You could also use a liquid liner, but we’ll be focusing on gel and brush in this tutorial. Arm yourself with an angled brush as well.
Next draw a line of black kohl along the lash line. This will help you have a seamless eye lash line. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect as we will fix it with the black gel liner.
Grab your angled brush and load it with product. Follow your top lash line as if it were to continue to your brow bone to find the angle for your flick. To find the perfect angle for your eyes, follow the natural line of where your bottom lash line would extend naturally up past your top lash line. This is where your cat eyeliner should follow.
Draw a line along that angle, hold the brush straight and push it out. Pull back the edge of the flick in along the lash line. Fill in any gaps with the excess product flipping the angled bush forwards and backwards in the liner to get crispier cat eye lines. Do not pull the lids while you are applying the black gel liner or your eyes will not look even. If you have made any mistakes, clean them up with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover.
Now, apply your mascara as usual.

Make sure to apply some cover-up make up under your eyes to hide imperfections and conceal dark circles, if you have any.

Voilá! The perfect daytime cat eye make up!

The technique for an evening cat eye makeup does not differ much from a daytime cat eye makeup but it can definitely benefit from the following tips (for applying liquid eye liner)

Evening Cat Eye Makeup: How To Do Cat Eyes Step by Step

Ok. We conquered the daytime cat eye makeup with gel liner. It’s time to tackle the evening flick with liquid liner! The technique for an evening cat eye makeup does not differ much from a daytime cat eye makeup but it can definitely benefit from the following tips (for applying liquid eye liner):

Always start with a regular pencil liner in a lighter shade first before applying the liquid. Not only it will make applying liquid liner easier but it provides a good base with more staying power making your makeup stand out even more.
Nothing says perfect looking like a primed eye. Make sure you apply primer to your eyelids. Your makeup will last longer and it will have a more vibrant look.
Make sure you have all your makeup done with the exception of mascara and concealer, It will make applying liquid eyeliner easier and will not mess up you cat eye look.
Don’t be bold and attempt to draw your line with eyeliner in one fell swoop. Connect the dots. Just like when we were kids. 😉 Then, brush forwards and backwards filling in the gaps for the perfect cat eye makeup!
If you want to add drama to your cat eye makeup look, wear some lighter color kohl liner on your lower eyelid. You’ll get a sexier look that is not overdone.
Should I remind you again of the best cat eye makeup tip? Use a cat eye makeup stencil template to get the perfect cat eye shape. Draw the cat eye with kohl liner first, then remove the stencil and go for the liquid eye liner.

Ok. Time to repeat the daytime cat eye makeup tutorial but this time, grab onto your cat eye makeup stencil and place it at an angle to create more of the winged look. Now, draw the cat eye with kohl liner. Remove the stencil, clean it and repeat the kohl liner application on the other eye.

Using an eyeliner stencil to create winged liner or cat eye makeup.

Once they are both even, get a hold of your liquid liner and fill in the lines. Make any corrections you need with the cotton swab dipped in makeup remover.

Now, draw a line with kohl liner in a lighter shade (like a mauve or green or turquoise for an even more dramatic effect) on your lower eyelid. Add concealer and mascara and enjoy your evening cat eye makeup look!
