How to do make up in 20 minutes

If by chance you have 20 minutes time with you then you should try a funky party look. You should slick on a lip color that you have never dared to wear. The twenty minutes time is also enough to vamp up your fingertips with a festive red polish.

Eyes:

• This time you have got some time therefore you should line both your top and bottom lash lines with the help of a soft-brown pencil.
• You can also extend the liner just beyond the corner of your eyes using the smudging technique.
• Then you should swipe on a golden-brown shadow from lash line to crease, blending upward.

Cheeks:

• You should apply the same ultra-blend able cream-blush formulation to the apples of your cheeks.
• You may want to pump up your blush to balance out your strong lip and eye colors, depending on your skin tone.

Lips: 

• The 'Red-alert lips ' are a classic holiday custom so why not go for them.
• With this pink-gold-brown color combo, you can choose a red with warm berry or gold undertones to keep your colors from clashing.
• You should forgo the lip liner.

Nails: 
You can give a couple of minutes to those sexy, well shaped, red painted nails as they are worth the extra few minutes of careful application time.

Guide on How to Wash Your Makeup Brushes

Dirty makeup brushes are exactly that—dirty. They transfer old makeup, germs, and bacteria each time you use them. Want to avoid this? Give them a weekly bath and they will be good as new.

Things You Will Need

Baby shampoo or mild hand soap
Warm water
Small towel
Olive oil (optional)
A jar to let the brushes dry in (optional)
Brush cleaner (optional if not using soap/shampoo and oil)

1. Run the bristles of the brushes under warm water. If you have bamboo handled brushes, take caution not to get the bamboo wet.

2. Put a drop of baby shampoo on the bristles. Put a heavy drop on for blush, foundation, and kabuki brushes, and small drops for concealer, eyeliner, and other small brushes.

3. Rub in the shampoo, gently, until you have a bit of a lather forming. Depending on the make up. you’ve used, the lather may be a bit colourful. Create a nice lather, and make sure you get to almost every bristle. Try to avoid distorting the shape of the brush. Be careful not to get shampoo in the ferrule, or the metal part that holds the bristles and the handle together.

4. Rinse thoroughly. Rinse until there is no more visible lather, and keep rinsing. Get into the middle of the bristles, not just the outside.

5. Blot the brushes dry on a towel. Try not to change the natural shape of the bristles. It may seem fun to fan them out as far as possible, but that fun will end when you have a hole in your coverage.

6. Lay the brushes flat on a towel overnight. Rotate the brushes or flip them over after a few hours if you desire.

Tips:

• Wash your brushes, at most, weekly or biweekly.
• A mild hand soap or facial cleanser can be used instead of baby shampoo, although some hand soaps may irritate sensitive skin.
• When air drying the brushes, let them lay at a slight downward angle so that water will not pool where the bristles are gathered.
• Using conditioner on brushes with real hair will make them soft and keep the quality of the hair, but make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid sticky brushes.
• Try adding a bit of olive oil so your brush bristles do not dry out, but be careful and only add the smallest drop so your brushes don’t stay oily.
• Wash the brushes in warm, not hot water. Hot water can loosen/dissolve the glue holding the bristles together, making them fall out.

Warnings:

• Be gentle while washing your brushes to avoid the bristles changing shape or some falling out.
• If you are washing a kabuki brush, do not soak the handle, as it may loosen the glue that holds the hairs in place.

The art of chic lip liners

Application of good makeup is an art. Many of us do makeup but if you do not know certain tricks of application of makeup according to your facial features then there is no benefit of this makeup, because it will not give you’re your desiring results. So here are some professional tips for the application of chic lip liner.

Every lady has different features which require the difference in application of the makeup.

For starters it’s best to start practicing with a lip liner with a color that is close to the lip stick you usually apply. For beginners it’s important that they start off with more neutral and natural colors so that the mistakes are not prominent. Before the application of lip liner while you are applying makeup, make sure that you clean off the lip balm or other oil based products before the application of the lip liner.

The best way to put on the liner is by making a few dots on the outline of the lips, one at the upper edge of the lips and a few along the lips, when you have made the dots, work through a light smooth line that isn’t too straight along the lip line. Use the makeup sponge to remove the liner that has spread out of the lips.

One makeup tip that all the ladies have to be careful about is that they need to apply the lipstick after they have already applied the lip liner and it would be better if they apply the lipstick of almost the same shade as the lip liner. When the ladies have already applied the lip liner and the lipstick, they can use a lip brush to blend in the lip liner line along with the lipstick. This is done to avoid the harsh line of the lip liner.

If the ladies want the lipstick and the lip liner to blend properly then they should choose the right shades and try to buy the two makeup products together.
