How To : Smooth Eyeliner Pencil

A very neat little trick for your daily life which involves your eyeliner pencil.

Image Source : Google
Take your eyeliner and run it over a lighter for a a second or two not more than that to soften it up a bit.
Let it cool for a second and then you’re good to go to use it. Make sure that the tip isn't too hot.
The process of warming it will allow your eyeliner to apply in a smoother fashion and you’ll be able to get that perfect defined eye look.
( If you left the pencil eyeliner in the flame too long then remove any excess using tissue paper,let it set for 5-10 seconds and apply).


You can also use blow dryer instead of lighter. :)  Just be careful.
It also works to slightly waterproof your eyeliner, especially on the inner rims, as well.

How To : Get Lashed Up

Beautiful, youthful, flirty and effortlessly sexy, who wouldn't want gorgeously long, thick Cheryl Cole-style eyelashes? 
But it's not surprising that luxurious lashes are so desirable: they add instant glamour, and widen small, tired eyes to make you look instantly younger.

There is a catch: applying false lashes can be a hit-and-miss affair. So here's a step-by-step guide.



APPLYING LASHES ^_^



1. Remove the lashes from the pack and hold them against your eye to measure them against the length of your own natural lash line. False lashes are often too long for your eye, so ensure you cut the strips to fit. If you leave them too long, they will drag your eyes down - which will have the opposite effect of the youthful look you are aiming for.


I used Konad fake eyelash :

2 Now you have two choices: 

  • Either apply the adhesive on to the full length of the base of the false lashes or, 
  • Using a brush, place dots of adhesive along your own natural lash-line before pressing the false lash on to it.
I used first method/choice :

 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the opposite eye. It is very important to wait 30 seconds for the adhesive to become tacky before applying the false lashes.



4. You can use Using tweezers, hold the strip lash in the centre. Then place it in the centre of your natural lashes. Then, again using the tweezers, push the inner side of strip lash in place, followed by the outer side.

  • If you don't feel comfortable with tweezers then use your fingers to apply lashes by following same technique used in step 4.
5. Using a 'pinching-and-push' technique with the tweezers to pinch together the strip lashes and your natural lashes, then 'push' them towards your eyelids. Do this all the way across the lashes and repeat for the other eye.

  • You can also use ear bud to push lashes.


Eyeliner can be added if needed, or mascara, but this needs careful application to the natural lashes only. 

You can also use fake eyelashes without eye make-up. Try it. :)

Tinsel Your Nail Tips

Normal french tips are definitely overused, so why not put a new funky twist to an old tradition for the new year?
For this new cool look, the steps are simple! All you need is a plum purple nail polish and silver nail polish!


Firstly, apply two coats of the dark purple polish, and then accompany it with a strip of silver along the tip.
In order to get a perfect tip, apply the polish in one quick and clean sweep across the nail instead of spending hours trying to edge it brush by brush.
