Keep it Clean!

Make sure you wash your make-up brushes, cosmetics sponges and applicators every week and leave to dry thoroughly to keep them clean and clog free.

Otherwise you risk introducing bacteria into your make-up.

If your brushes go frizzy and straggly then its time to renew them.

If your cosmetics sponges become hard or even slimy then again, throw them away and invest in some new ones.

At Cosmetics4less we have Cosmetics sponges from only £0.99 so it’s not worth risking spots and blemishes by using ones that are past there best before date.

For the Perfect Eyebrow Shape.

Filed under: Cosmetics Advice — admin @ 8:15 pm

At Cosmetics4less one of the questions we are most commonly asked is “how do you know where to draw in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil“?

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil with Brush.

For a natural, shapely look it’s most important to get this right as nothing looks worse that unnatural, false looking eyebrows which distort your face.

So what you do is hold a pencil vertically alongside one nostril. Where the pencil meets your brow line is where you start to feather in your eyebrow.

To discover where to end your brow, imagine a line from the outside of your nostril to the outer corner of your eye. Extend this line to your brow line and this is where your eyebrow should end.

 

At Cosmetics4less we have eyebrow pencils from only £0.99 right up to £8.99 so why not experiment, for natural shapely brows.

Never Smile While Applying Blusher!

Filed under: Cosmetics Advice — admin @ 4:12 pm

Never, Ever smile when you apply blush, it ages your instantly, yet almost every women I know does it!

The reason you should keep a straight face is that when you smile your create lots of tiny wrinkles, however young you are. The blush cannot penetrate into these lines so when you relax your face you are left with little lines that look just like wrinkles.

Also, when you smile the area that protrudes is not the best place to put blush. It’s too close to your mouth on a relaxed face. Cheek colour needs to be high and closer to your eyes than your mouth.

Look at a summer shot of a model or film star and you will see the sunkissed glow really high up on the cheekbones.

Wrinkle Facts

Filed under: Cosmetics Advice — admin @ 5:39 pm

We all hate wrinkles and scan our faces daily to check for new ones. But did you know that there are four different kinds of wrinkles? They are Fine, Deep, Static and Dynamic.

Fine wrinkles, around the eyes, occur gradually due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Deep ones, like forehead lines, start in the muscles below the surface. Dynamic lines are those seen only when your face moves and static wrinkles are there all the time.

A good moisturiser will plump out wrinkles and prevent dry skin.

To prevent wrinkles keep out of the sun. Use a foundation with a sunscreen so you are protected all the time. Wear sunglasses to prevent screwing up your eyes. Wear prescription glasses if you need them, as this also prevents you screwing up your eyes. Give up smoking, this is one of the biggest causes of wrinkles and sallow skin.  Avoid frowning  or other similar facial expressions as this will prevent wrinkles.

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and get plenty of sleep as your skin reflects your general health.

Don’t Confuse Skin Dryness with Wrinkles.

Filed under: Cosmetics Advice — Tags: , — admin @ 8:22 am

Dry skin can appear more wrinkled, but actual wrinkles are not due to dry skin. They are caused by damage to the under-layers of the skin due to aging, sun exposure and smoking.

So a good mosturiser and drinking plenty of water will hydrate and protect your skin but make sure you use a good sunscreen if you are out and about, even on cloudy or winters days, and give up smoking!
