whitening facial

One of the most important thing in our society, for all the people, is to feel beautiful again and because of that many of them try a lot of things, just like skin whitening facialwhitening, teeth whitening and a lot of stuff (trying to get rid of acne on their face and things like that), in order to fulfill their dreams and things that they really want to happen to them. There are a lot of people who want a darker skin (there are just to many people going to the seaside and solars in order to get this things) and there are also people wanting a ligher skin in order to get rid of all their problems and trying to feel good about themselves. One way to darker your skin is to literaly burn it (you can burn your skin easily if you go to the seaside and stay in the sun to much, but be carefu what you wish and do not have any more problems in the future because of this things – sun burn is also a complicated matter and you could have problems because of it, problems you may not really want for yourself).

   You also have to know that cosmetic industry in Asia is very big and the women down there are willing to give a lot of money in order to get rid of their problems – if they have it, or not. You also may want to know that the women there have already a pale skin complexion and you may be wanting to know how’s that going to be in the reality – why they need to be whitening their skin more if they already have it whiten? Women with blemishes on their face may look unhealthy and poor, or not beautiful and because of that they try to make and be as most as beautiful as they could – it’s also known that the beautiful women and not the one who were sclaves, have a beautiful white skin, but the sclaves have a brown skin because they could not protect from the sun and they get that on their face. So, it’s your choice what you want to have, and because of the evolution in the cosmetics today you can change everything about this in a second or a couple of days.  Continue reading »

Not that I think males shouldn’t be going for beauty treatments–it’s just that I have never thought such pampering was necessary for my less-than-glamorous face.

Occupying several lots on the first floor of Wisma UOA II in Jalan Pinang in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triagle, this studio is the second in the Klang Valley. The first, at Wisma UOA in Damansara Heights, has been around for more than three years, but its men’s facial spa studio was only opened early this year. Continue reading »

It’s high time you revamp your cosmetics and skincare products. Come this festival, gives your dressing table a makeover, and throws out the expired, the old and the ones you no longer use.

Hack, cough, and wheeze! Does this happen every time you use your makeup? Newsflash: food isn’t the only thing that can expire; your beauty products can too! That’s right, everything on your dressing table from that precious anti-aging cream to your daily beloved lipstick. Dermatologists are urging you to throw out old stuff because they not only cause breakouts and blemishes but can also lead to serious skin allergies and infections. Continue reading »

When you’re planning on doing makeup for a beach wedding make sure to know what kind of weather it will be during that special day, whether it will be during the time when the sun is up which can be sunny and humid or at night when it can be cool. If you’ll be doing makeup for a wedding during a sunny day make sure to wear either a light-weight foundation, a tinted moisturizer (See all facial treatments) or even nothing if you already have flawless skin, as the sun will melt a heavy makeup and can be unflattering when taking pictures. If you have blemishes and imperfections, you can apply concealer to those areas and as much as possible always keep the rest of the face light. And don’t forget to apply a face primer (See all foundation primers). If possible, wear makeup that is waterproof! Like waterproof mascara and waterproof eyeliner etc. These last long and won’t smudge easily compared to regular makeup. It is very important to wear waterproof makeup as you will be under the heat of the sun which can make you sweat, melt and ruin your makeup. Plus, you might not know if you will get emotional and cry. You wouldn’t want to end up looking like a raccoon during your wedding day, right? Do some tests with the look prior to the wedding day. Try going out with your makeup on and see if you like how it looks under the sun and make some adjustments if needed.

For those who would want a more neutral look during their wedding day, here’s how:

conceal blemishes & dark circles

If you have flawless skin, you may skip this part. First, apply any face primer (See all foundation primers) all over the face before putting on any light-weight foundation or tinted moisturizer. For me I used Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer (See all foundation primers). This is to make your foundation stay on longer. Next, cover any blemishes or dark circles with a concealer (I used the Youngblood Concealer in Medium) if you have any and keep the rest of your face light and more natural by putting on a light foundation or tinted moisturizer (for this I used the “Get a Tint” Tinted Moisturizer (See all skin protection) by Mark Cosmetics). Next, after you have applied your foundation/tinted moisturizer, set your face by brushing on lightly any translucent powderwith the use of a kabuki brush (See all brushes & applicators) orpowder brush (See all face brushes) to give it a more natural matte finish.

Using concealers

Concealers can be used to correct, camouflage and lighten imperfections, blemishes, and under eye circles. Using too light of a concealer will give you raccoon eyes. Applying it to the whole under eye area when you have a puff and a circle will just defeat the purpose. When you begin shopping for a concealer youâll find they come in stick, wand, pot, tube, compact and pencil form. Concealer comes in a variety of skin tone shades and several correction shades such as yellow to correct blue, green to correct redish areas, blemishes and scars and violet for sallow skin tones. Others have light reflecting, or brightening qualities. Continue reading »

Make-up-application-tips

First, wash your face. If you have oily skin, use an unscented bar of soap. If you have dry skin, use specially formulated face soap for dry skin, then lather your face with a thick moisturizer to prevent flaking. Next, dry your skin off, and allow it to “settle” for about ten minutes. If you apply the make-up now, it will get pushed out of the pores, creating the “cakey” look.

Now, apply a foundation that matches your skin, using your fingers. Rub the foundation in all over your face as if it was a wonderful cream. Check yourself out in a brightly lit room, make sure there are no streaks. Now, if there are any blemishes on your skin, leave them alone for now.

Next, use a large brush to brush powder evenly over your face. Put some powder on your fingers and rub it into your under-eye area, getting rid of any uneven skin color. Now take a Q-Tip, and put a little bit of foundation on the end of it. If you have any blemishes, lightly (very lightly) dab a tiny amount of foundation onto your blemish. If this conceals it, leave it alone. Otherwise, apply pressure with your finger tip to the foundation in this spot to even it out. Do NOT put powder back on over this spot, it will give it a powdery look. Continue reading »
