It was the Roman Dramatist Plautus who wrote, "A woman without makeup is like food without salt". You do not need make-up to be beautiful. Makeup helps those of us who wish our cheekbones were higher, skin more evenly toned, or jaws more prominent. Makeup is also a way to celebrate features we love and want to draw attention. From an unusual shade of eyeliner and long, flirty eyelashes, to a brighter lipstick and a bit of sparkle across the cheekbones - make up is the grown-up equivalent of dressing-up.

The easiest way to change your look is through accessories, says Natasha Darras, 16, a rising star on the high school golf circuit in southern California."When it comes to fashion, clothes, jewelry and make up, shop inexpensive places and splurge only on important pieces," Natasha says. "I only buy expensive things that I can wear and use for a long time."Natasha offers some inexpensive ways to update a wardrobe for minimal cost and maximum value. -- Add scarves. You can wear them on your head, around your neck and they look great. -- One quick and easy look that really works is layering your jewelry. Bargains I find in vintage and thrift stores are my prettiest pieces and long necklaces look great layered. -- When wearing short necklaces, just wear one at a time. -- If you wear a uniform, dress it up with accessories and make sure you don't break the dress code."Makeup has been a hurdle for me," says Natasha.

A young girl cashed me out the other day wearing so much eyeliner I thought she was a quarterback. I was going to tackle her, get her in a half nelson, and buff her eyes down, but then she gave me my croissant and I became distracted. I have nothing against aggressive eye lining (Diana Ross's signature look) it was the rest of her naked territory staring me in the face… an uneven skin tone, dry lips and a couple of lonely cheekbones available for coloring. I see too much of this - an unfinished face. She looked like some poor soul was in the middle of a makeover and security walked in and broke it up. I'm not suggesting for a minute one has to be over zealous in front of the mirror at five thirty in the morning. But life is a balancing act and so is beauty! If you had three children, you wouldn't dress just one of them and send the other two on an outing. (That was my childhood). Your babies are your eyes, cheeks and lips. Dress all three and there will be no divorcees. Here's so
You can contour your cleavage just like these celebrities. This makeup will make your assets look extra voluptuous with just a couple sweeps of a brush. Arm yourself with a large powder brush, and a smaller cheek brush. Take a sweep of your bronzer and with the cheek brush, and apply in directly into the center of your cleavage in a v-shape. Then, take a lighter, golden highlight powder and dust a little with the powder brush on the pushed up part of your breasts. Don't overdo the shimmer. Subtle is best for enhancing your shape, and this little trick will surely enhance a night out on the town. I did this several times whenever there is a dinner.

This is just me playing around with my makeup. I'm just using the basic stuff. Foundation, concealer, eyeshadows, blushers and lipsticks.Putting on green eyeshadow to step out from my comfort zone. I like earthy tones make up. Also the fact that my element is earth.Trying out the smoky eyes effect. I think I've put on enough thick layers of eyeshadow already but the camera doesn't seem to compliment it. Not a pro. What can I do. Now don't go all judgemental on me. I know I'm not a pro so only constructive comments are welcomed. :) Cheers!
These fucking replicants get more and more convincing every day. I hardly know which ones to retire anymore.--NattyThat slut on the right is wearing plastic pumps, no pants, bad makeup, and still wants her parents to think she's putting herself through law school WAITRESSING. GET OFF THE POLE, BITCH-RöbynnIts pretty rad getting dropped off at your Grandma's house for the day. You get to hang out with your cousins and dress up in all her crazy old lady clothes, you rock her makeup and perfume like there's no tomorrow, and Grandma takes tons of glamour shot pictures. Then your Mom picks you up and its kind of a drag because she's muttering angrily about "dementia" and "alzheimers" and all this other boring adult stuff as she scrubs rouge off your face.

Do you know how to select the right color shades to cover up your acne skin? The key to success in covering up acne with concealing cover makeup is in choosing the right color shades that best match your acne skin.We've put together 3 easy steps you can use to choose the right color shades to successfully conceal and cover up your acne skin:Step One: Determine your base skin tone shade: The first place to start is to determine what your base skin tone shade is.

If you want your eyeshadow to last all day long simply apply a thin layer of concealer before applying your eyeshadow. It will usually last you for 24hrs.
Eye ShadowOn days when you are really pressed for time, apply the base color to the eye then skip to mascara and you’re done. When applying eye shadow to the crease of the eye, keep your eyes open and slightly tilt your head backward. This will enable you to better see the shape you are creating and allowing the shadow to go into the crease. For more mature skin use iridescent shades sparingly. If you have puffy eyelids do not use iridescent or frosted shadows in light colors or white. Use softer, matte colors.MascaraIf your mascara is new and the deposit on the wand is plentiful, tissue off the wand before applying to prevent smudging. To get more product on the mascara brush try twirling the brush. Pumping it will cause the product to dry out sooner. Try experimenting with different colors of mascara – maybe brown, navy or green. Always use less mascara on your lower lashes. If your mascara thickens when it reaches the end of tube, place the tube in warm water. This wi

I bought this product last year for my summer makeup the colors remind me of summer the shades work perfect for my skin tone. I loved it so much I use it year round given that it makes my eyes glow it is great of day and night makeup. What I like to do is mix some of color together to create my own shade. I love it best for night makeup since it has glow to it that works great with a nice tan, blonde hair and nighttime parties.It is a creamy type of makeup it reminds me of a cream texture but blends beautifully to a powder finish. Four matching shades of Megaeyes Creme Eyeshadow and one MegaGlo Face Illuminator is great to use to give a glow while contouring your face great for cheeks and lips. This product is great and affordable product along with an eye shadow accents your style to create truly wetnwild expressive eyes. - Shop for Wet N Wild Eye Expressions - Click here for eBay! - Prescription Eyeglasses for $39 Complete!
Good quality makeup brushes are just as important as makeup itself. Applicators included with most makeup kits are simply not right for the job. Poor quality blush brushes are usually too small and too coarse to enable you to properly apply makeup. This is why you see some women with unattractive stripes of blush that look like racing stripes across their faces.We cannot emphasize enough the value of good quality makeup tools. It is not an area to skimp on. When properly cared for, good brushes can last many years. You will get a more natural and longer lasting look, and have greater control of your makeup technique.If you have a limited budget, start with just three or four basic brushes, such as, blush, eyeliner, eyebrow and shadow. Then add on from there.

I highly recommend this little bag and it is only $16!
