Shimmer Makeup Tips !




Going to an evening party ? Wanna have a glowing model look?

U can achieve it by wearing shimmer makeup or even simply with the dusting of a shimmer powder over the entire face. This will give u a softer and radiant effect where light hits your face.


Why Use Shimmer?

If u use a shimmer over your face with fine light reflective particles it gives a glow to your skin that seems to come from within.
Regarding eyes, If your creaseline  is defined with a dark color eyeshade and shimmer towards middle side, it will give more depth and texture in your eye makeup.

Overall, You appear younger! :),  as the shimmer deflects light off your skin and make any wrinkles less noticeable.

When to Use Shimmer?

Shimmer makeup gives very harsh look during the daytime, it's perfect for evening when you want a glowing, eye-catching look.



Applying Shimmer



Highlighting the face:

The areas of face that need most to be highlighted include the tops of your cheeks, forehead, tip of your chin and tip of the nose. These are the areas where sunlight normally hits.





Highlighting the Eyes:

Add shimmer to your eye makeup by brushing a light shimmery shade over the center of your already made up eyelids.

Slick on some mascara.

For night, slick on a shimmery eye liner in a deep or bright color. The contrast between the black and the shimmer will be noticeable.


Highlighting the
Browbones:

Highlighting the brow bone helps your face look more structured and overall beautiful. Apply a light colored highlighter just under your brows and the inner corners of your eyes. 

It is a great way to make you look healthy and glowing, and to make your eyes pop and look bigger as well.


Lip Gloss:

Apply a shimmery clear lip gloss over your regular lipstick or use a lipstick with crushed crystal like particles in it.


Keep in mind:

Sweep the brush lightly .
Use a light hand when applying shimmer powder.
Too much powder will make you look glittery and artificially shiny.

Beautiful, Strong, Silky and Shiny hair tips !


Hair are an important part of your personality , so keep it secure and healthy. Make it more beautiful, strong, silky and shiny , just lyk dolls and following the tips below.



  • When your hair grows, the spilt ends appear and damage the hair. So it is best to trim your hair regularly in every 8 to 10 weeks.
  • If you plan on growing your hair out further you should trim your hair once every 3 months, if not split ends will cause your hair to break off and your hair will begin to lose it's beauty, if you plan on just maintaining your length, a trim once every month and a half to two months should suffice.
  • Don't rub your hair dry with a towel, instead blot the water out of your hair, when you rub, it'll cause your hair to tangle.
  • Don't use a brush to detangle your hair, this will stretch your hair and may cause your hair to break off. Instead use your fingers, a pick, or a wide tooth comb to detangle your hair.
  • Hair can get caught on cotton pillow cases and break when you are sleeping especially if you toss and turn a lot when you sleep. Using a satin or silk pillowcase where your hair will make it so that hair will slide across the pillowcase without getting caught.
  • Brushing your hair is important because it spreads the the hair oils out across the length of your hair and increases blood circulation. Use long strokes starting from the roots of your hair when brushing and stroke your hand over your hair after you are done brushing to get rid of static.
  • Always use smooth and soft hair accessories and avoid metal parts that may damage your locks.
  • Do not use hair dryer regularly that will damage your hair.
  • Well diet is very essential for hair. Consume fat rich food like omega-3s which will keep your hair healthy, strong and shiny.
  • Always keep your hair clean and put natural oil on your scalp. It will help to grow your hair.
  • Avoid sleeping with tightly braided hair or hair in a tight ponytail. The stress can cause breakage and/or hair loss.

4.Light base color: Again, the key to a smokey eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. A nice cream shade for base is highly recommended. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone.
5.Dark color( below the crease) :Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it’s time to get the smokey effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease. The key here is to blend, blend, blend.
6.Check : Make sure eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if need be.
7.Mascara: You’ll want to apply a few coats of mascara so lashes are thick and dark. If you don’t have naturally long, curled lashes, curl them with a lash curler first.
