Natural Oils?

 Use Natural Oils To Remove Makeup

What happens if you see streaks of waterproof eye makeup under your eyes after you’ve cleaned? If you have sticky residue from long-wear makeup or stubborn mascara, you may need more than just a cleanser.

Rather than reach for a makeup wipe, try experimenting with natural oils. Oil dissolves oil, so they may be a good choice for removing waterproof, stubborn makeup, which tends to be oil-based. Oil can also remove oil, dirt, and grime. 

After you’ve cleaned your face, pour a few drops of oil onto a clean cloth. Cotton pads, cotton balls, or even your fingers will work, too. Gently dab at the waterproof mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, or any other waterproof makeup products that need to be removed. Then rinse with warm water.

Nine oils that can potentially help remove stubborn or waterproof makeup.

• Rosehip oil - Fragrance-free plant oil with a high amount of linoleic acid.

• Squalene oil - Light stable oil

• Hempseed oil - Non-comedogenic oil

• Grapeseed oil - Lightweight oil that can moisturize and balance skin

• Jojoba oil - Consistency is like the skin’s sebum

• Sunflower oil - Non-fragrant

• Argan oil - May help remove makeup without clogging pores or causing irritation

• Tea tree oil - Can help get rid of dead skin cells

• Sweet Almond oil - Gentle oil that may cleanse makeup without irritation

• Skip coconut oil as it is considered comedogenic and may clog pores

You may also try:

• Micellar water

• Rosewater

• Aloe water

You can use a natural oil in the same way that you’d use an eye makeup remover or wipe. If you’re trying to replicate the ease of a makeup wipe, keep a bag of cotton pads right next to the oil on your bathroom counter. Here are a few to consider.

Makeup wipes.....Good or Bad?

Makeup wipes are popular for a lot of reasons, here I will cover just a few:

• They are travel-friendly.

• They may be more affordable than your favorite cleanser.

• They are all-around convenient.

• You can use them while your head is already on your pillow and too tired to wash.

Are makeup wipes all they are cracked up to be? Here I will cover some of the cons of using wipes:

• Most makeup wipes are not biodegradably leading them to stay in landfills.

• They don’t really clean your skin, makeup wipes spread around the makeup while it looks like it’s clean. It can push the makeup and any other debris deeper into the skin

• The chemicals in the wipes can cause irritation, while if you have sensitive skin the action of wiping can cause irritation.

Lastly, I will go over a few reasons why you should always remove your makeup before bed, regardless:

• If makeup is left on overnight it can clog pores and cause breakouts. Sleeping in makeup can weaken your skin’s protective layer.

• Using facials can brighten your skin.

• Skipping a facial cleanse might make your skin appear dull.

Tips to make your eyes bigger.

Eyeliner Tricks To Make Your Eyes Look Bigger

Eyeliner is a workhorse of the makeup bag, and it can completely change your look when applied in different ways. Here are some tried and true techniques that can actually work to help make your eyes look bigger, brighter, and more open.

Cat-Eye

Try A cat-eye or a wing to make your eyes look more open. Both of these flourishes may help draw the gaze outwards and can make your eyes look bigger. 

For flattering cat eyeliner, draw a line across your upper lash line, and flick it out all the way up to your crease area. The angle should follow the natural line of your lower lashes. Creating this unbroken sight line may make your eyes look bigger. Map out the line, and fill it in with liquid eyeliner or pencil eyeliner. 

To do a wing look, line your upper lashes and continue the line slightly beyond your eyes. Draw a second line on your lower lash line to give the appearance of larger, wider-set eyes.

Apply Dark Eyeliner Just Below Your Lower Lashes

Rather than line your lower rim with black, bring your pencil down a bit and line the area right beneath your waterline instead. By drawing this lower line, you help create the illusion that your eyes are bigger than they actually are.

Keep Your Inner Corners Free From Dark Eyeliner

Heavy eyeliner all around your eyes can give a closed-in look and make your eyes look smaller. Rather than lining from top to bottom, skip the inner corners and focus only on the outer V. This draws the eye outward and makes your eyes look bigger.

Tight lining

Tight lining is the technique of lining your upper waterline – the line of skin between your eyelashes and the eye. This is sometimes called the invisible eyeliner technique because you don’t actually see the liner.

 Tight lining can make the base of your eyelashes look thicker. It defines the natural shape of your eyes, gives you a lift, and makes your eyes look larger. To try this yourself, gently lift your lids and trace the area with pencil eyeliner. 

Black eyeliner pencil is the classic choice for a bold or sultry look. A brown shade of eyeliner gives a more natural look

Try A Blue Or Brown Shade to Line Your Upper Lash Line

Using a colored eyeliner – especially after tight lining with black liner – may help your eyes appear bigger and brighter. 

Try this: find a shade that coordinates with the natural color of your eyes, and use it on your upper lash line.

Try A Light Shimmer Eyeliner In Your Inner Corners

Apply a creamy, pale-colored eyeliner to the inner corner of your eyes, with or without shimmer. This acts as a highlighter and makes your eyes look more open.

Apply Nude Or White Eyeliner To Your Waterline

Applying white or nude eyeliner to your waterline (that area inside your lash line) may make you look more awake. This trick helps make your eyes look wider and brighter by making it look like you’ve extended the whites of your eyes. 

To try it, gently pull down on your lower lashes and up on your upper lashes to expose your waterline. Trace that area with white eyeliner, or use a shade close to your skin tone for a more natural look.

Frame And Lift Your Brows

Grab a soft white eyeliner pencil and draw a line above your brow bone and below your eyebrow arch. This serves to highlight and lift your pair of brows, which can make your eyes look more open.

Clean Up Your Look

Mistakes happen. If you end up with a wobbly area or a smear, there’s no need to start over. Try dipping a cotton swab in makeup remover, and gently wipe the problem area off your skin. You can also dab a brush in a neutral shade of concealer and sharpen your lines that way.

Finishing Touches

People of all eye sizes can benefit from a crimp of a lash curler and a few coats of black mascara. 

For the most eye-opening effect, curl your lashes with a lash curler and add mascara.

Let's talk eye liner.....

Who here gets over whelmed with all the choices out there? And don’t get me stated on how to apply or what look to go for. That’s why I have created this series of beauty tips, to help figure what, some how to do’s, and don’ts. I will cover some products, help with just learning what’s what out there. Stay tuned for beauty tips.

Types of liner sold buy Farmasi.

Know your types:

• Liquid eyeliner is long-lasting and is useful for drawing thin, wispy lines for a winged eyeliner look. Because it can be slow to dry, liquid eyeliner does best on the eyelid and upper lash line, rather than the waterline.

• Felt-tip eyeliner is a type of liquid eyeliner that uses a felt tip instead of a brush for application. It’s the best choice for applying a wing or cat-eye because it’s easy to control and allows you to draw thick or thin lines depending on how you hold it.

• Gel eyeliner has a waxy consistency that does not smear or rub off easily. It works well on your waterline because it’s usually waterproof.

• Pencil eyeliner is versatile. It’s a good choice to use on the waterline, for tight lining, and for a cat-eye technique.

• Kohl pencil eyeliner has a creamy consistency that works well for a smokey eye.

• Eyeshadow applied to the eyelid with an angle brush can serve as a more natural-looking alternative to heavy eyeliner.

General Guidelines for Creating Illusion

For this technique, eyeliner is used to create the appearance of bigger eyes. You aren’t actually altering the size of your eyes, of course. It’s all about creating an illusion. To do this, you’ll want to understand some general rules about creating depth and dimension with eye makeup.

• White (or a light color) draws the eye in and calls attention to facial features.

• Shimmer acts as a highlighter, catches the light, draws the eye in, and calls attention.

• Dark colors can help minimize an area or give the illusion of a shadow.

• Using multiple colors over a uniform base can help add depth and dimension.
