Face powder either pressed or loose gives glow as well as smooth look to the skin. Women with oily skin benefits most with face powder application as it conceals the oily look of the skin and makes your skin look perfect. It is used because it is the quickest and easiest way to cover up blemishes. Whether you use face powder to conceal skin oiliness or just to look fresh is not a question. The question now is how to choose the right face powder that suits you best?

It is important to choose face powder that suits your skin tone. Use a face powder that is 1 tone lighter than your skin. Personally it took me sometime to finally stick on one brand as looking for the right face powder that blends my skin and complexion is quite challenging. I went through hit or miss stage in choosing the right powder for me.

To help you decide, consider the following in choosing your face powder.

1. Your complexion - If your face powder isn’t the right shade for your face, it will look like you have dirt smudged on your face. You will likely have some hit or miss in finding the right shade, but in trying to figure out what shade you are, first consider, are you fair, medium, or dark skinned? That will winnow the choices down somewhat. From there, look at the undertone in your skin. Is it pink, peachy, or olive? In any given line of powders, you will probably end up with just two to decide between if you know those two aspects of your skin tone.

*** When picking your color, keep these tips in mind. White powder is best for the evening, since it adds luminosity. If your complexion is sallow, try a mauve or violet tone. Green and blue will tone down colors, pink gives a nice glow for pale skin and apricot works for olive skin that needs to some brightness.

Chapped lips - is a condition whereby the lips become dry and possibly cracked. It may be caused by the evaporation of moisture. Often the lips become dry because the layer of oil that is naturally produced by the body to coat the lips is removed or is lacking.

Lips have almost no melanin, the natural pigment in skin that helps screen out the sun’s harmful rays. Your lips’ natural tendency toward dryness and chapping is aggravated by the fact that they are more prominent than almost any other part of your body–and most of the time they are unprotected by clothing and fully exposed to the elements. While exposure to sun, wind and cold can obviously speed the rate of moisture loss, your lips aren’t even safe indoors. They can suffer from lack of moisture in centrally heated or air-conditioned rooms in which the relative humidity is low.

One of the greatest fun spoiler, poise wrecker and beauty killer is when ladies is experiencing a terrible TOOTHACHE. Oh yes! I can definitely relate to that! Having a toothache is excruciating, painful and a complete torture! It takes over your life at its worst!

Here are few home remedies that will help alleviate the pain.

Home Remedy For A Toothache #1:Ice

=========================================================================================
Ice can eliminate all kinds of pain and swelling in the mouth, just as it can help strains or sprains. You can use either ice cubes that are wrapped in a towel or wash cloth or you can use frozen food. If you use food, smaller items like peas are more ‘bendable’ and therefore adaptable to a painful toothache. Hold the cold substance directly against the tooth area that hurts. Just remember that if the food thaws you should either eat it or throw it away - don’t refreeze it. That’s a major no-no.

Home Remedy For A Toothache #2: Peeled Cucumber
================================================================================================
Get a peeled cucumber and then cut it into thick slices and hold these pieces in your mouth. You would feel that the pain is gone.

One of the many decision every women has to make is choosing the shade of lipstick to wear whether for a party or for everyday use. Well, I share the same sentiment! And yes up until now I can’t really stay loyal to one product or shade.

Check this top 6 tips in picking the best lipstick for you.

1. Thin lips
Colors to Try: Peach, pale pink, light beige, clear
Colors to Avoid: Red, dark red, dark purple, any shade of brown

If you have thin lips it’s better to avoid dark and bright colors and settle for softer, natural sheer ones. Start with outlining your lips with a lip pencil that’s close to the natural color of your lips and then fill them in with light pink or light coral or beige lipgloss. Try using Lip Plumping glosses to make your lips so much fuller.

2. Full lips
Colors to Try: Red, soft pink, berry, mauve
Colors to Avoid: None

With full lips, you have quite a few options. Obviously you don’t need plumping glosses, instead apply a small amount of clear gloss to the middle of your top lip for the same affect. I have naturally full lips, and find that I don’t need lip liner, and rose colours look the most amazing!

3. Daytime wear
Colors to Try: Pink, peach, berry, beige
Colors to Avoid: Anything too dark, as you will risk to look like a vampire

Your daytime look should be casual, so stick to sheer glosses or light colors, and simple eye makeup. If you are going somewhere special, glam up your daytime look with a bit more color on your lips - the right shades of pink and beige compliment everyone!

“Women tend to think smokey eyes should be dark, with lots of eyeliner and mascara. Achieving the perfect smokey eyes doesn’t mean you have to look like you have two black holes in a bed sheet. It means there are no harsh lines and that everything is very blended and beautiful. It’s very modern to do a smokey eye in pretty soft colors, especially for summer. Nix the eyeliner completely; use a deeper shade of the color shadow all around the lash line. Also, lighten up that tarantula mascara—go for a very feathery, fluffy lash look.”
