How to contour and highlight narrow nose?

Bonjour à tous / hello everyone !!

 

Welcome back to FLAWLESS BEAUTY BLOG BY NAKIBA, I hope you all are fine. I’m great, I had a wonderful week, I’ve learnt such much. It’s amazing…  

This week’s topic is all about how to contour and highlight narrow nose. 

 

BALANCE YOUR NOSE SHAPE

Contouring and highlighting is the art of applying skillfully to create the trompe l’oeil effect of altered bone structure. I am here to give you give you my best beauty tips and tricks on to contour and highlight to enhance your nose. A narrow nose is considered to have very thin, narrow bridge.

For a narrow nose, the goal is to create the illusion of a widening effect, by doing this, the nose will appear more defined.

 

A corrective full-face makeup is like magic, contouring the nose helps achieve colour balance for the whole face. A nose is considered flat when the bridge is flat or undefined and a tip doesn’t protrude outwards. It also tends to be wide. 

For a flat nose, the goal is to create the illusion of a more sculpted bone structure, by doing this, the nose will appear more defined.

 

 

 HOW TO TELL IF YOU HAVE A FLAT NOSE

  • You have a very thin and narrrow nose  bridge.

CONTOUR

Contouring is the art of subtlety defining or reshaping features, like your cheekbones, nose, forehead and chin, using makeup. By using matte powder, cream, liquid or pencil product that’s two shades darker than your skin tone can enhance, define and even re-shape your features.

WHERE YOU SHOULD CONTOUR 

  • Apply to your contour color on the sides of the nose in a backward C-Shape motion, following the natural curve of the nose.

HIGHLIGHT

 Highlighter attracts and mimics lights, offsets contouring by accentuating areas of the face with light concealer or highlighter giving the illusion of higher, brighter features. To properly highlight, use a concealer shade that is two shades lighter than your skin tone or a highlighter that flatters your complexion to emphasize the areas of your face that naturally catch the light.

WHERE YOU SHOULD HIGHLIGHT

  • Apply highlight product on the bridge of your nose.

STEP 4

Starting from your brow bone, draw a soft dotted line down both sides of your nose, using a lip liner pencil.  Make sure the doted lines thin.

 

STEP 5

Now join the dotted lines to create more define lines. Both lines must end on your nostrils almost at the tips of each side.

Use an angle brush to draw the contour lines. They should begin at the brow and end to your preference.

 

TOOLS FOR THE JOB

ANGLE BRUSH

 

STEP 6

Lightly apply the highlight in a thin line starting from between the brow down the nose bridge and fill the space between the two lines. Keep the line steady and symmetrical, but feel free to play with the width (depending on how narrow you want your nose to appear). Blur the area where the nasolabial lines (commonly known as “smile lines or “laugh lines) connect to the nostrils by applying your highlighter shade in dots just besides the nostrils. Blend gently with your ring finger.

TIPS

The contour shade you choose for your nose must be lighter than the one you use on cheeks and the rest of your face and it should be matte. Whether you’re using a cream or powder it always must be cool tone. Cool tones mimic the natural contours and shadows of the face.

Avoid placing cheek color close to the nose. The closer together you place your contour lines; the slimmer your nose will appear.

If your skin tone is pale to medium, you’ll want to reach for matte, cool toned contour. Look for beige, taupe and greyish tones. If you have tan to deep skin, cool tones also work for you, but warmer shades can look great as well.

If you want the heavily contour Instagram look, or if you are more advance at makeup, try a cream. Cream will really sculpt your features. Powders give more subtle results. Liquid highlighters are going to give your skin a dewy, more natural looking finish.

Starting with a light hand, it’s easier to build product than to take it off.

The contour shade you choose for your nose must be lighter than the one you use for your cheeks and the rest of your face. Whether you’re using cream or powder it always must be a cool tone. Cool tones mimic the natural contours and shadows of the face. ORANGE IS A NO!

Remember to build gradually the shadow because too much foundation and powder will make your nose look dirty. Then blend, as it is the key to contour.  

Skip Moisturizer. Skip the nose when you’re applying moisturizer before makeup.

Mattify. Look for makeup primer or moisturizer that have mattifying property to keep shine off for longer hours.

Powder Power. Powder helps to soak up excess sebum. Slap on more powder around the nose, but making sure the finish still looks natural.

CONCLUSION 

In this discussion, we have tried to describe to contour and highlight narrow nose, you also have an idea what tools you can use.

Best of luck!!

What are the methods of permanent hair removal?

Bonjour Flawless beauties!! 

Welcome back to FLAWLESS BEAUTY BLOG BY NAKIBA, I hope you all are fine and top health, I’m good; I spent the day with my sister in the city. I had so much fun. It was super amazing. The weather was great; we had to take full advantage of it!   

This week’s topic is all about methods of permanent hair removal…

Although permanent hair removal service are not offered in salons, it is useful to know the options that exist. Permanent hair removal methods include electoepilation (light-base hair removal), and laser hair removal.

ELECTROLYSIS

Electrolysis is the removal of hair by means of an electric current that destroy that growth cells of the hair. The current is applied with a very fine, needle-shaped electrode that is inserted into each hair follicle. This techneique must only be performed by a lincensef electrologist.

PHOTOEPLIATION

Photoepilation uses intense light to destroy the growth cells of the hair follicles. This treatment has mininmal side effects, required no needles, and thus mimimizes the risk of infection. Clinical studies have shown that photoepliation can provide 50 to 60 percent clearance of hair in 12 week’s. This method can be administered in some salons be cosmotologists and estheticians, depending on the state law. Manufacturers of photoepilation equipment generally provide the special training necessary for administering the procedure.

LAZER HAIR REMOVAL

Lasers are another method for rapid removal of unwanted hair. In laser hair removal, a laser bean is pulsed on the skin, impairing hair growth. It is most effective when used on follicles that are in the growth or anagen phase.

The laser method was discovered by chance when it was noted that bithmarkes treated with certain types of laser become permanently devoid of hair. Leader are not for everyone; an abousolute requirement is that one’s hair must be darker that the surrounding skin. Coarse, dark hair responds to the best to laser treatment. For some clients, this method produces permanent hair removal. For other clients, laser hair removal treatments simply slow down regrowth.

In certain states and provides, cosmetologosts or estheticians are allows to perform laser hair removal under a doctor’s supervision. This method requires specialized training most commonly offered by laser equipment manufacturers.

TIP

Laser hair removal is more than just “zapping” unwanted hair. It is a medical procedure that requires training to perform an carrieds potentional risk. Before getting laser hair removal, you should thoroughly check the credentials of the dotors or technician performing the produre.

If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal, you should limit plucking, waxing, and electrolysis weeks before treatment. That’s because the laser targets the hairs’ root, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking.

You should also avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and makes complications after treatment more likely.

CONCULSION

In this discussion, we have tried to describe to you methods of permanent hair removal. You also have an idea on which one would work best for you.

What is my skin type?

Bonjour à tous / hello everyone!!

Welcome come back to FLAWLESSS BEAUTY BLOG  BY NAKIBA, I hope you all had a great weekend and you all are fine. I’m ok, just here taking it easy. 

Alors, let’s continue, if you are not sure what is your skin type.

Choosing the right products for skin care, for your face and body, starts with knowing your skin type.  It is essentials to care for your skin’s health.

They are five common skin types: normal, oily, dry, combination and sensitive.

HOW TO FIND OUT YOUR SKIN TYPE

Blotting a clean tissue on your face in the morning is an easy way to find out your skin type.

 

NORMAL SKIN TYPE

A normal skin type is not too oily and not too dry and there will not any trace of facial oil on the tissue. Normal skin is soft, with a smooth, even skin tone.

OILY SKIN

An oily skin type will leave blots of facial oil on the tissue, particularly from cheeks, nose and forehead. This type of skin produces more oil than necessary. Oily skin can be caused by hereditary factors, diet, hormone levels, pregnancy, unsuitable cosmetics and stress, leading to flare ups and enlarge pores. It is vital to thoroughly clean the skin regularly with gentle, soap-free cleansers.

DRY SKIN

A dry skin type has low level of sebum and does not maintain oil easily. Dry skin is often flaky and feels tight after being wiped. Gentle cleansing and rich protective moisturizer for dry skin, it is essential to control that tight, uncomfortable feeling. It may be necessary to adjust your skin moisturizer for the changing seasons.

COMBINATION SKIN

With a combination skin type oil is produced around the ‘T-zone’ of the nose, forehead but not the cheeks, mouth and eyes areas. The best skin care for combination skin will involve treating each region differently.

SENSITIVE SKIN

Having sensitive skin type can mean different things to people. It can cause by skin condition such as rosacea, eczema or allergies. Sensitive skin can become inflamed and irritated easily. It is important to choose the right skin care for sensitive skin because many cleanser and moisturizers contain ingredients that can cause and adverse reaction.

TIPS

Tips for dry skin.

Take shorter showers and baths. Use mild, gentle soaps cleansers. Avoid deodorant soaps. Don scrub while bathing or drying. Smooth on a rich moisturizer right after bathing. Ointments and creams may work better than lotions for dry skin but are often messier. Reapply as needed throughout the day. Use a humidifier, and don’t let indoor temperatures get too hot.

BALANCE YOUR FACE SHAPE

The diamond-shaped face is wide at the cheekbones and narrower at the jaw line and forehead. For a true balance shape, you don’t need many makeup tricks; your face shaped is fabulous as it is. If diamond shape face is too dramatic with a pointy chin and a very narrow forehead – you can do some contouring to balance out your face shape.

For diamond-shaped faces, the goal is to add fullness to both your jaw and your forehead, while minimizing the width of your cheeks.

 

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR FACE SHAPED LIKE A DIAMOND

  • Your hairline is narrower than your cheeks.
  • Your chin is slightly pointed.
  • Your face is longer than it is wide.

Create the illusion with light and shadows in the blink of an eye!!!

But, first let’s review these makeup techniques before we get in to the magic making.

CONTOURING 

Contouring is when you use matte powder, cream or pencil product that’s two shades darker than your skin tone to shade areas you’d like to define or reshape, like your cheekbones, nose, forehead and chin.  

WHERE TO CONTOUR

Diamond shaped face.jpg

  • The area below your cheekbones starting from your ears and ending in the middle of your cheeks.

 

HIGHLIGHTING 

 Highlight offsets contouring by accentuating areas of the face with light concealer or highlighter. To properly highlight, use a concealer shade that is two shades lighter than your skin tone or a highlighter that flatters your complexion to emphasize the areas of your face that naturally catch the light.

 

WHERE YOU SHOULD HIGHLIGHT

  • Under your eyes in an upside-down triangle shape and along your brow bone to brighten your eyes.
  • In the middle of your forehead and the middle of your chin to help broaden these naturally narrow.

What are mascaras?

Bonjour!!!

Happy Monday flawless beauties! 

I hope you’ll are fine and also had great weekend, I’m good and I had a great weekend. So let’s get straight in to it !   

Mascaras.jpg

Mascara is a cosmetic commonly used to enhance the eyelashes. I may darken, thicken, lengthen and/or define the eyelashes. Mascaras can be found in one of three forms – liquid, cream, or cake form. Every mascara has a different formula and wand, so the results will differ depending on which one you choose; however, most contain the same basic components of pigments, oils, waxes, and preservatives.  Picking out the right mascara does not have to be overwhelming.

Even if you don’t know how to apply mascara, you’ll get all the information to make the best choice for your look, the ones that compliments your eyes and skin tone.

BLACK MASCARA

Black mascra.jpg

A universal rule is that everyone looks good in black mascara. Even on the fairest skin, it provides a dramatic frame for the eyes.

For darker skinned women, it adds drama to fringe. When in doubt, you know that good black mascara is always your best friend.

BROWN MASCARA

Brown mascara.jpg

Classic black masacra is all good, but there’s also a serious case to be made for brown lashes. If you have fair skin and prefer a natural look, rich brown mascara is your best bet. The softer brown tone harmonizes with blonde, light brown or lighter red hair, so that no one but will know if you have invisible eyelashes.

Sometimes it can be so hard to find mascara that blends in with the blonde so it doesn’t look like you wearing mascara, or clump up. I recommend a few that come in a variety of colours like taupe, brown, & golden (for those who like to stay close to their natural look). I think it’s important for albinos to note what suits them best.

To bring more drama to your baby blue or green eyes, a high volume brown mascara can still have enough impact for night-time, just make sure your eye shadow or eyeliner isn’t darker than you your lashes. Deeper, blackened brown mascara is a good choice for olive and medium skinned women who want to increase volume while still achieving a makeup free look.

BLUE MASCARA

Blue mascara.jpg

Try out blue mascara for grey, brown, blue or light green eyes, or just to make a fashion statement! Turquoise might seem like it’s too close to blue to make an impact, but a few swipes of this bold mascara will accentuate bright blue eyes. For fair skin women with these blues will really pop on your skin. For darker skinned women, apply a base coat of black or primer, and glide on several coats of the blue after it dries. To make sure the colour shines, you can line your top lid with black liquid liner, or blend a pencil into the lash line.

If you’re shy about experimenting with colour, a deep blue will enhance grey, light brown and green eyes without being obvious. Navy blue is an option that will serve to brighten the whites of the eyes, either of these darker tones works well on women with fairer skin who want a subtle colour.

PURPLE MASCARA

Purple Mascara.jpg

Royal purple, plum and violet all fall under this umbrella. Purple mascara looks especially dazzling on women with green eyes and hazel eyes because the two shades lie opposite on the colour wheel or blue eyes. If you have undertones in your skin, select a shade of purple that has a warmer red under tones, such as plum.

Women with darker or cool medium toned skin will look fabulous with a purple that skews towards blue, such as violet.

GREEN MASCARA

Green mascara.jpg

Green tones look glorious on brown and hazel eyes. Green mascara and hazel eye combination will highlight the natural earthy shades of green in this eye colour. Green mascara can be complimentary to any range of skin tones, just opt for neutral tones in your eye shadows to let your lashes do the talking. If you prefer just a tease of colour, apply a coat of primer (clear) mascara or basic black, then swipe on the green from the mid-shaft tips.

TIPS

If your mascara starts to dry up, add 4-5 eye drop or contact solution into the bottle, close it, and shake it up. Your mascara will refresh performing like new again.

Soak your mascara tube in a cup of hot water to make the formula liquid-y instead of clumpy. This will make the formula thinner and easier to apply.

CONCULSION

In this discussion we have tried to describe to you what are mascaras, we have also tried to explain the different colours to compliment eye colours and skin tones.

Best of luck, and remember we’re all beautiful!

TIPS

I recommend leaving any major eyebrow shaping to the professionals. Better yet, bring a screenshot of the face shape that the closest to your own, and ask your technician to mirror the appearance.

For shorter eyebrow hair, trim off an additional 0.1 mm, starting from the ends to the front of your eyebrows.

SHORTER AND FULLE

If you like flaunting a fuller brow size, which is in vogue this season, you should stick to a shorter length. It creates the correct impact and the face looks perfectly maintained – neither wide nor short. You might not agree to the idea of eyebrow length justifying the

You can take a break from keeping the tail of you eyebrows pointed and extended out. Try the trimmed tail pattern on your face next time. This will definitely be one of the best eyebrow shapes for heart shaped faced. Go for for a subtle tail ends tht do not bulge out much. It creates a nice impact on heart shaped face and look different than usual. If interested in tying something new, that will transform your looks manifolds, go for this pattern for sure.

Eye shadow comes in many different colours and textures. It is usually made from a powder/pigment and mica but can also be found in liquid, pencil or cream/gel form.

Civilizations across the world use eye shadow predominantly on female but also occasionally on males, it is seen as a feminine cosmetic even when used by men.

Many people use eye shadow simply to improve their appearance, but it is also commonly used in theatre and other plays, to create a memorable look, with bright, bold colours. Depending on the skin tone and experience, the effect of eye shadow usually brings glamour and gain attention. The use of eye shadow attempts to replicate the natural eye shadow that some women exhibit, due to a natural contrasting pigmentation on their eyelid.

Powder eye shadow have been used for generation, but cream and crayon eye shadows are now being made by more brands, so it can be hard to decide which to choose.

PRESSED EYE SHADOW 

Pressed.jpg

This is the most popular type of eye shadow and most people are familiar with this type.  Pressed eye shadow can applied wet or dry, these eye shadows are usually a dry solid form. They are with combination of pigments and bonding ingredients.

MATTE EYE SHADOW

Matte eye shadow.jpg

Matte eye shadows refers to an eye shadow that does not have any kind of light reflectors and does not appear shinny when applied. Matte eye shadows are mostly used, this eye shadow have a higher concentration of colour and are an excellent choice for shaping and defining the eyes. 

POWDER / PIGMENT EYE SHADOW

Instasize_0306222409.jpg

If you have oily skin it is best to stick to the eye shadow which is drier and less likely to crease on your skin. Dry eye shadows are easy to apply and have a matte or pearl finish. Colour can be built up from natural to full coverage very easily. Powder eye shadow can also be cost-effective because they often come in duos, trios or quads in which colours complement each other.

SHIMMER EYE SHADOW

Shimmer eye shadow.jpg

Shimmer eye shadow comes in a virtually any colour imaginable, in warm and light, this eye shadow contains small particles that reflect light. Shimmer eye shadow in light colours often used to highligh the eye area, the eyelids, brow bone, and corners of the eye.

CREAM / GEL EYE SHADOW

Cream eye shadow.jpg

Some people prefer cream eye shadows for their shimmer texture and because they are generally longer wearing than their powder counterparts. Other people think they crease more easily than powders. Two colours can easily be blended together with cream eye shadows. Cream shadows are moist on application but dry to leave either a matte powder or shiny reflective look.

LIQUID EYE SHADOW 

Liquid eye shadow.jpg

Liquid eye shadows are similar to cream / gel eye shadows but are in a liquid form. The liquid can vary with thickness and viscosity.

STICKS OR CRAYON EYE SHADOW

Stick & crayon eye shadow.jpg

Eye shadow crayon offer vibrant, light to full coverage colour. They work as eye shadows or liners as well as full colour eye shadows. They are also easy to apply because you don’t need an applicator.

Often shimmer or glittery, loose powder eye shadow is easy to apply and long-lasting, they can also be used for subtle or intense colour. They contain ingredients to help them adhere to the skin which can be ideal for oily skin types. They give a great look for a night out. You can also use an eye shadow base to help your loose powder stay in place.

METALLIC EYE SHADOW

Instasize_0306192714.jpg

Metallic finish is quite similar to frost finishes, and can be found in both eye shadows and lipsticks. The main difference between frost and metallic is the tone of the reflective quality. Where frosts tend to have more of an opalescent or icy shimmer  to them, metallic seem to have underlying gold or silver shimmer to give a more foiled effect.

PEARL EYE SHADOW

Pearl eye shadow.jpg

In eye shadow, a pearl finish may or may not have glitter particles, but it will have a soft sheen and is often not as pigmented as other finishes.

SATIN EYE SHADOW

Satin eye shadow.jpg

As an eye shadow, a satin finish is somewhere between a matte and a shimmer. It is not as shiny as a shimmer finish, but not as flat as a matte finish. And the texture is usually not as dry as a typical matte finish either.

GLITTER EYE SHADOW

Glitter eye shadow.jpg

This one is pretty straight forward. Does it have obvious glitter packed in it?

MINERALIZED EYE SHADOWS

Mineral eye shadow.jpg

Mineralized eye shadow are the Marmite of the makeup world. You either love them or hate them. Mineralize eye shadows are baked rather than pressed, and they have a completely different texture than normal eye shadow. They tend to be sheered, and glittered. Applied dry, they aren’t all that great. Mineralize eye shadow come to life when they’re applied damp, using a foiling technique.

TIPS

There are a number of ways to make your eye shadow last longer. Firstly you could apply some loose or pressed powder to your eyelids before application to help set the eye shadows (this works particularly well for powder and cream eye shadows). Some brands sell special cream makeup bases which can be used to set all types of eye shadow. Another way to make your eye shadow last longer is to layer it by applying a cream or crayon eye shadow underneath a powder eye shadow.

The high arches work best for square-shaped face, since it helps to make the face shape appear softer. Women who are uncomfortable with high arches can alternately use soft angled eyebrow shape.
