The Perfect Blush For Your Face Shape

According to the make-up artist Jane Richardson, who works for Nars Cosmetics, the most important thing to remember is that make-up should follow the natural shadow lines on the face.

Also that blush should be applied to the most attractive parts of the face, ie, those parts of the face that we want to emphasize.Color is never applied under the cheekbone on the cheeks, below the upper half of the face, not too close to the nose.

Here are tips for applying blush for three basic types of face shapes.

Round face - This face, what has, for example, actress Kirsten Dunst, is mostly small and can look like it is covered with blush.

Use a fan brush for your blush (like this one in the picture above). It is excellent for precise applying blush on small faces. Apply blush in the shape of a boomerang, with one end under the outer edge of the eye, and central, below the fullest part of the inner edge of the eye.

Continue with applying with the same brush to complement the shape of the boomerang.

Use a round brush to complete the whole look, but don't apply blush on the cheeks below the cheekbone and the side, away from the end of the eyebrows.

Apply just a hint of blush on the chin to visually elongate the face.

Square face - this person is, for example, model Gisele Bundchen. They have excellent defined contours and may appear in some cases too dramatic and rough. Although they have fantastic cheek bones, when it comes to blushing, it is necessary to follow certain rules in order to highlight best facial attributes.

Use a small brush for powder so you can directly apply the blush on the tops of cheek. Starting from the position under the outer edge of the pupil, drag the brush to the outer corners of the eye.

With a bigger brush even out the color, not crossing the line below your ear shells.

Apply a bronzer or darker shade of blush on the outer corners of the jaw to soften the rectangular shape.

Oval face - oval face, like Rihanna, are very grateful when it comes to hair and makeup, because you can easily experiment. But just because your face is quite adaptive, does not mean that you can follow by everything make up tip. For best results read the next few tips.

Start with a medium size brush. Make circles on the top part of your cheek bone, the part which is furthest from your face when you smile.

Use the same brush to distribute lighter coat of blush slightly up to the hairline.

Use a larger brush to merge everything.

Just lightly apply blush to the center of the chin to contribute to the definition and visually highlight your correct face shape.

And finally, here are some pictures that may help when applying blush.

1. For lifting

2. For sharper edges


3. For lengthening

Beauty Read: Can You Get Hooked on Lip Balm

Here is the thing, while we love doing our own product testing and providing you guys with reviews, we were not the chemistry wiz like the writers over at The Beauty Brains. If you really want to know why a certain products works and get behind the marketing ploys by learning how exactly the ingredients work then you should really check their site out or buy their new book, Can You Get Hooked on Lip Balm?: Top Cosmetic Scientists Answer Your Questions about the Lotions, Potions and Other Beauty Products You Use Every Day

As soon as I started reading the book, I was hooked! That's probably because they start right out with hair care dispelling myths and even bashing some super popular brands. When I say "bashing" I really mean breaking down their marketing tricks and giving the real deal to consumers. The book is in a really simple and easy to read format that allows you to skip around, read things you want to know about, and skip others to read for another time. It's great! I highly recommend you check it out before you buy another cosmetic item.

Rock the Look: Chic Blunt Bangs

Long, face-framing fringe is in for spring and stars like Jennifer Hudson and Sandra Bullock are embracing the trend. As perpetual style chameleons, celebrities often go for bangs as a simple way to transform their look without a drastic change to their existing haircut. This bold statement look is dramatic, impactful and easy to achieve with a few scissor snips.

To Rock the Look, go for brow-grazing bangs that are slightly tapered at the corners. This way you can wear them down or sweep them to the side to quickly change up the style.

Celebrity hairstylist and Nexxus Creative Director Kevin Mancuso, who has worked with A-listers like Anne Hathaway, Abbie Cornish and Kristen Bell, offers his tips on how to style your bang look:

“Bangs are a great way to update your look without sacrificing length off your ends,” said Mancuso. “The addition of thick, blunt fringe immediately draws focus to your eyes and emphasizes your bone structure.”

PREP:
· Start by applying Nexxus Thermal Volume Volumizing Heat Protection Mousse directly to damp hair to create body and protect strands from the damaging effects of heat styling.
· Press mousse into hair from roots to ends for all-over volume and textured hold making sure to include the bang area.

STYLE:
· Pin bangs to the side and create a middle part. Then use a large round brush to blow dry the rest of your hair.
· Make sure bangs are still damp before styling. If they have dried a bit, mist them with water prior to blow drying. This will ensure there are no unwanted kinks in the bangs and also help set the style.
· Curl bangs over the round brush and blow dry on low, bending ends slightly under for a flattering, face-framing shape.
· Release the rest of hair from the hair tie.

FINISH:
· Place the round brush under the bangs and lightly mist hair with Nexxus Comb Thru Natural Design and Finishing Mist for flexible hold and glossy shine.
· Roll the brush slightly under as you remove it from the bangs to smooth hair.

Swimsuits For Every Body Shape

Summer is almost here and if you still don't have that perfect swimsuits were here to help you. Find out, which is the best swimsuit for your body shape.


Type 1

Small bust will be visually increased if you choose a top which is slightly wrinkled, shrunken, has two layers, flounces, strong patterns or strong colors. If you like clean lines it is best to choose a swimsuit that goes around your neck and has a lower neckline.


Type 2

If you have a large bust it is important to choose a swimsuit that has some extra support, preferably under wire tops. Choose simple patterns, dark colors or dark in combination with other colors.


Type 3

If you have a larger waist than you can choose a one-piece swimsuit in a dark color and distinct patterns on it because it will lose the contours of your waist. You can also opt for a one-piece swimsuit that is made of two distinct parts, as well as those that will emphasize the bust.


Type 4

If you have a shorter torso and want to elongate it choose vertical stripes or swimsuit with multiple shades of one color. Also a good choice would be combining two colors, which will create the impression of a longer torso.


Type 5

Long torso will shorten if you choose horizontal stripes. Also a swimsuit which has a belt in another color or a one piece swimsuit with a bra in a different color will emphasize the bust.


Type 6

If you have heavy hips and thighs choose a swimsuit that will provide a little more cover. You need a larger lower part, in the form of shorts or skirt, and preferably in the dark colors. A good choice is a swimsuit in a color combination where the lower part is dark and plain, and the top is different and has more colors.
