Complete Skin Care TherapyCarol Belanger (30)    Carol Belanger   Making the Most of Brown EyesPosted Monday, October 26, 2009 (29 days 8 hours ago.) Viewed 48 times. Although you may think your brown eyes are common and plain, you are actually blessed to have brown eyes. Brown eyes can wear so many shades of eye shadow and go from smoky eyes for evening wear to a light and natural finish for day wear. Not all brown eyes are created equal. There is different color of brown eyes ranging from deep dark brown to a lighter brown. Additionally the specs in the iris can vary from yellow to copper toned specs. When selecting the perfect color for your brown eyes, pick colors that complement the specs in the iris of the eye. Colors that complement the specs in your eyes will blend with your complexion and accentuate your eyes. Again, while most brown eyed girls can wear a wide variety of eye colors, skin tone is an important factor. For instance those with a warm skin tone (yellow tinted) should avoid yellow tinted eye makeup while those with a cool skin tone should avoid red based or rosy hues. As a general rule, women with fair complexions should use earthy or pastel colors, while women with darker skin should choose darker colors that enhance their eyes. Tpo enhance the eyes, brown eyed girls should avoid brown eye makeup that matches the color of their eyes. Consider a shade lighter or darker to add depth to the eye area. Colors such as beige, tan, taupe, dark brown and chocolate brown are better tones for brown eyes than just plain brown. Additionally, amber, mahogany, copper and gold will enhance your eyes but only when used lightly as a highlight or accent for other tones. Other colors that work well on brown eyes are: Brown - preferably one that is a shade lighter or dark than your eyes, mocha, beige, tan, gray, charcoal, khaki, olive green, hunter green, bronze, gold, violet, lavender, pink, rose, and blue. Usually silver should be avoided. Plum, burnt orange, coral, aqua and burgundy compliment brown eyes. Again take into consideration the color of the specs in your eyes and your skin tone. Chances are you will be able to tell if a color just isn't working for you! Application The first step in your eye makeup application is to apply a base coat of a neutral or matte color over the entire eyelid. If you are over 40 consider a primer to help hold you eye makeup in place. Consider colors that range from beige to champagne. Secondly, contour your eyes, by using a darker color or contrasting color in the crease of your eyes and blend into the base color. A darker or contrasting shade will create depth. Lastly, highlight just below the brow with a shimmery color or a light contrasting color that will blend with your base color. A good tip to remember is to use lighter matte colors as your base color, darker colors as your contouring color, and lightest colors as your highlight.

Permalink Comments (0) DIY Microdermabrasion - Bringing Beautiful Skin to the SurfacePosted Saturday, January 17, 2009 (311 days 13 hours ago.) Viewed 46 times. Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure in which the outermost surface of the skin is partially removed by light abrasion. This form type of cosmetic procedure is to remove or lessen the appearance of scars and dark spots on the skin, smooth away leathery sun-damaged skin, and stimulate the production of new and healthy skin cells. Additionally, microdermabrasion can even out skin tone and diminish the look of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. In essence microdermabrasion is a form of advanced exfoliation, or skin resurfacing, in which the surface layer of the skin is removed and new skin cells are brought to the surface. There are various methods of microdermabrasion: they are crystal microdermabrasion, diamond microdermabrasion, and at-home microdermabrasion. Crystal microdemabrasion is much like sand blasting the skin. It involves spraying the skin with the crystals. This method can be somewhat uncomfortable around the nose and mouth due to their sensitivity. After the spaying of the crystals, the technician or dermatologist will vacuum away any remaining crystals. Diamond microdermabrasion uses an exfoliation tool. During the treatment the technician or dermatologist will rub the diamond tool against the skin to slough off the top layer of dead skin cells. The diamond machine will then vacuum the surface. This type of microdermabrasion stimulates collagen and elasticity which promotes stronger skin and it stimulates blood flow to give a healthy glow to your complexion. At-Home microdermabrasion kits are widely available and range in price and effectivness. What once was a spa procedure can now be done in the comfort of your home. Spa treatments would range from $75 to $200 per treatment. Most at home kits use the same crystals as used in the spa. Depending on the kit; the crystals are applied to the skin with your hands or a cloth, or applied with a massager. At home kits are available as a full body treatment or kits just for the face. Naturally the facial microdermabrasion kit will offer a much gentler exfoliation. Home systems contain active ingredients that are focused on skin renewal, and to acceleate the rebuilding of collagen skin cells. The benefits of microdermabrasion are many. This non -invasive treatment will gently remove the epidermis - the outmost layer of the skin, and bring new skin cells to the surface leaving a more even toned complexion. Additionally, microdermabrasion will stimulate blood flow, and reduce the signs of aging, eliminate white and blackheads, reduce the appearance of large pores and provide visibly brighter skin. Microdermabrasion however may not be for everyone. If you suffer from Roseacea, open sores, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and/or other skin conditions. Additionally, for those that suffer from diabetes, skin cancers, broken capillaries or are using blood thinners should not use a microdermabrasion skin treatment. Do not use if you suffer from Vitaligo, Lupus or hypopigmentation and if you are using Acutance, Retinol, Retin-A, Glycolic or Salicylic Acid or other topical or prescription medicines. Note that the above warning list is not inclusive of those that should not use a microdermabrasion skin treatment. As with any new skin care product always do a patch test first.
