Black Eyeshadow Makeup: Beauty Tips for Your Eyes

Black Eyeshadow Makeup: Beauty Tips for Your Eyes

Using black eye shadow to create one of the most popular looks in make up, the smoky eye look can be difficult, as there are many shades and tones of color that are used in the look, rather than just using black eye shadow to coat the upper lid. Black eyeshadow color is always considered the classic color.

When applying eyeshadow, remember that dark colors give a shadow of effect, while light colors are used to highlight. Eye shadow can be applied with a brush, sponge applicator, cotton wool or your fourth finger. Never compete with yourself! Eyeshadow should complement skin tone, hair color and eyes.

Many women like to experiment with eye makeup, and it’s perfectly acceptable to try different colors of eyeshadow. Black eyeshadow in combination with other neutral colors can create a sultry look. The key is to apply a generous amount onto the lower lid and blend a conservative amount towards the brow.

There are certain techniques that should be used while wearing black eye shadow to ensure that you are able to get this depth and dimension within the look and this comes from more than just the black Eyeshadow.

Things You’ll Need:

    * Black Eye line
    * Black Mascara
    * Dark Eyeshadow (Black, Grey, Dark Red, Brown, Dark Blue)
    * Pale Face Powder
    * Chap-stick

Useful Tips for Black Eyeshadow:

   1. Start with the Pale Face Powder. Cover your whole face with it including your lips. Cover some of your neck with it as well.
   2. Grab the eyeliner. Take the stick and brush the tip of the pencil onto the edge of the cap so the eyeliner will go on darker. Apply the eyeliner just under your eyelashes on the bottom eyelid. Make sure it’s not too thick, but still kind of thick.
   3. Put the eyeliner on the inside of your bottom eyelid. You’re not supposed to do this, but it makes your eyes stand out much better. There should be a thick line on your bottom lid.
   4. Take the black mascara and apply it to your bottom eyelashes. The upper lid should be thicker than the bottom lid.
   5. Take your dark eye shadow and apply it to your top lid just above the eyeliner. Rub the eyeshadow into the end line of the eyeliner using the eyeshadow brush. Don’t rub the eyeshadow over the eyeliner. Only on the end of the eyeliner.
   6. Apply the eyeshadow on the bottom eyelid the same way as the top except don’t rub the eyeshadow into the eyeliner. Take your finger and gently rub the bottom eyeshadow into your skin so it looks like your sick. Then the eyes are done.
   7. Get your Chap-stick and apply it to your lips, over the pale face powder.

Advice:

    * Be careful about putting a pencil near your eye!
    * Don’t fall asleep with the makeup on.

Unique Sushi Art on a Plate

An art duo from Osaka have combine sculpture, painting and photography to come up with almost lifelike forms where they have Japanese food on miniature trucks. The plates show you exactly how small the art is. Although expensive, these sculptures are popular among collectors. They have almost all popular Japanese food covered and all set, strapped to the mini truck. These sculptures from the Tomica series may look small but are priced at $270 per figure. The food on the tiny trucks look very real and even the garnishing is made with a lot of detail. It is obvious that the creator has a lot of talent and patience to be able to make something so lifelike. If kept with real food, they will no doubt fool any eye. Watch out next time you lunch with a prankster, not everything on the plate needs to be food.

Deal with Your Mother in Law: Improving a Loving Relationship

Deal with Your Mother in Law: Improving a Loving Relationship

Just the word, mother in law, fills the heart with trepidation and self-doubt. This woman has assumed mythic proportions wielding criticism, guilt and coldness. When she visits, you feel like the inspector general has marched into your home. When she interacts with the children, she is evaluating their manners, academic performance and fitness tracing it all back to you!

Sometimes when we get married we inherit more than just a spouse. We also get a new mother and that can be either good or bad. Most people get along fine with their mother-in-laws, and some even have enviable stellar connections. But when a relationship with a mother-in-law gets bad, it can be very bad. At its worst we start to wonder how we could ever fall in love with the offspring of such a thoroughly unpleasant person.

It can be the type of thing that tests the bond between husband and wife, and sometimes it even puts the marriage in jeopardy. Here are some suggestions to befriend your mother-in-law thereby making your husband and children happier.

Start by Talking About Your Feelings to Your Husband:

He is always your best friend and ally in life, and even though it’s his mother who is causing you stress, explaining to him how you feel is your first step. If he has trouble understanding, see if you can find a good intermediary: clergy, a counselor, a nurse, or just a friend who understands, preferably one who has been through this before. You need your husband in your court before you can get anywhere with this situation.

Have a Sense of Humor:

Look at it from a distance.You laugh at the TV comedy, Everyone Loves Raymond, particularly Marie and Debra’s relationship; try to see the humor in your own relationship with your mother-in-law. Humor goes a long way to defuse hostility.

Break the Pattern of Criticism:

When your mother-in-law criticizes you, listen calmly for a few minutes then distract her by changing the topic, pulling out some photos of the children, new makeup or a magazine about a subject she’s interested in like gardening, golf or shopping. Get her into grandma mode by having your children sing, perform or show an award they received.

Reinterpret Negatives into Positives:

Anything can be reinterpreted! Be creative and release the anger. Practice it so often that it becomes a reflex action. For example, if your mother-in-law doesn’t even refer to you by your name, if you don’t even merit a hey, you then reinterpret to, She’s being sensitive to my needs. It is awkward for her as I am not her daughter. So rather than confront me or offend me, she avoids calling me anything.

Affirm Your Mother in Law:

Compliment the qualities you want to reinforce. Wouldn’t you do this with your child or pet? You don’t want to comment on bad behavior and create the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Schedule One-on One Time:

Schedule one-on-one time around her interests to do something fun together: a day at the spa, lunch and shopping, visit the new exhibit. Get to know her on a personal level and bond. Ask about her dreams, her career and her past. Knowledge is power!

Be Patient and Lower Your Expectations:

Don’t envision an immediate transformation or a Kodak moment of love. You can expect mutual respect and loyalty. One step at a time. It took my mother-in-law twenty years to love me, but she finally came around. Where there is life, there is hope.

These mothers-in-law share the following characteristics:

    * They think they know more than you do. Much more.
    * As a result, they offer “recommendations.” A lot of them.
    * They don’t respect the laws of time and space.

Therefore, they offer their advice anywhere: In your home, in their home, at family gatherings, shopping malls, political rallies you name it.

    * Their voices usually carry from here to Guam. They like to give everyone the benefit of their unsolicited advice.
    * They actually believe they are helping you.
    * They usually have a need to control. Sort of like a combination of Catherine the Great, Atilla the Hun, and Roseanne.

A Few Advice:

   1. Mothers-in-law sometimes “lay in wait” until no one else is in the room (including their own husbands, whom they want on their side). Do not be alone with her. If you find yourself alone with her, immediately get up and go to the bathroom, take a walk, do whatever you need to in order to not be alone with her.
   2. It’s highly recommended that if you have a child, take them out of the room at the same time that you are leaving. If you don’t trust your mother-in-law yourself, you can’t trust her with your child. Don’t allow her to say poisonous things to your child, undermining your relationship with that child.
   3. If All Else Fails:

    * Relocate to another city. Many people swear their marriages have been saved by this solution!
    * If your partner does not support you, this is a critical sign! A sign not only in terms of, your relationship with your MIL, but, with your own marriage. You have to give serious thought as to whether this is a marriage you want to stay with.
