How to Achieve Beauty

I am sure you have seen a transformation in either yourself or a friend who has found her colors. With her new found self confidence, she radiates good feelings about herself.

Perhaps she has made major life changes as a result: Changed careers, got a promotion, got married or unmarried or taken action towards accomplishing a goal. At the very least, she is simply happier, and that happiness spreads to everyone around her.

I believe that inner beauty comes from making the most of our god given gifts. By becoming our best and using our talents we achieve peace and satisfaction. With increased confidence in ourselves, we often uncover some of our hidden talents because we try things we were afraid to try before.

Let's take a look at someone's eyebrow. Having an organize eyebrow speaks a lot about a person. Pluck your eyebrows regularly to keep them in shape. To determine the natural length of your eyebrows, take a pencil and hold it vertically beside your nose.

The edge of the pencil will determine the inner extent of your eyebrow. Then, keeping the pencil's base in the same position, move the top outwards across your eye until the edge is aligned with the outer corner.

The tip of the pencil then determines the outer extent of your eyebrow, so do not remove hairs to make it any shorter. To pluck your eyebrows, follow the steps below;

Massage the area gently with some cleaner, wiping it away with skin tonic or astringent. Using a cotton ball dipped in warm water, wipe over the area. The warmth of the water will enlarge the pores, making it easier to remove hairs.

Pull the hairs out with tweezers, plucking them as close as the roots as possible. Always pull in the direction of natural growth, and wipe away with the warm damp cotton ball as you go.

You should never pluck hairs from above the brow, and you should certainly never try to shave your eyebrows with a razor.

Remember, eyebrows frame your eyes, so you want them to look balanced. If you have kept them well shaped through judicious plucking, you may not have to do anything other than brush them into place with your brow or lash brush. Some of you may need to fill in bare spots or compensate for short or unequal brows, or thinner brows that are extremely sparse.

Take your pencil or brush dipped in pressed powder and feather the color on with quick, short strokes, to simulate little hairs. Never draw it on a harsh line will be too obvious and will spoil the natural look you are trying to achieve.

Finish by brushing your eyebrows up and out with your brow lash brush. If your brows need a bit of coaxing, use a touch of facial wax on the brush first.

This takes practice but it is well worth the trouble. Once you learn the routine, you will be able to apply your eye makeup in three or four minutes, and with the right colors, you will have naturally stunning eyes every single day.
