Steaming Your Face: Do's and Don'ts

You can steam your face at your own home without having to go to a spa or see a professional.

• When you are steaming your face, don’t do it over a pan. This can be dangerous and it can be hard finding a place to set it, and its difficult keeping the water warm.
• Do sit with a towel over your head over a sink and allow the hot water to run. Or you can try taking a shower as hot as you can stand it.
• Don’t get it so hot that it burns your skin, this is going to cause damage to your skin and you can get seriously hurt.
• After sitting for about 5-7 minutes, your skin should be softened and opened. Don’t go longer than 8 minutes, or then your skin will start to get wrinkly being in the steam directly.
• After you have steamed your face, wash it with your facial cleanser. Your cleanser is going to be able to get into all of your pores and clean out all of the dirt and oil.
• Pat dry with a towel after washing. Since steaming your face can sometimes dry out your skin, make sure that you apply a moisturizer after your face is steamed and washed.

How to Apply Makeup in 7 Easy Steps

It is best to get used in applying moisturizer about 10 minutes before beginning your make-up application.
Step 1 :Choose foundation that matches your skin tone exactly. Foundation may be applied using your fingertip or a makeup sponge. Blend it out until it covers your entire face.
Step 2: Use a loose or pressed powder to set the foundation on longer. Then use a large, soft powder brush to dust off any excess powder.
Step 3: Do your eyebrows next. Use powdered eyebrow shadow on brows instead this gives you an elegant yet natural look.
Step 4 :Choose three colors of eye shadow. On the eyelid on the left the colors should be blended and the ‘hard edges’ should be softened. This is the effect to be aimed for so as when the eyes are open, the softening effect of blending is clear.
Step 5: Lifting your chin while looking down, stroke the mascara through your top lashes, combing them upwards. Mascara applied to the lower lashes often smudges under the eye, and looks messy halfway through the day.
Step 6 :Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, and apply blush to the apples or below. To add definition to the cheekbone or to slim the face, the shading color is applied in a curved shape below the cheekbone.
Step 7 :Finish with a lipstick color that’s suited to your skin tone and that’s perfect for your night or day look. Your lipstick can make or break your look. Whether you aim for a natural or dark lipstick color, aim to achieve a balanced overall effect.

SIMPLE BLUSH TIPS

• Clean your brushes with baby wipes. If you don’t keep your brushes clean, they’ll gather bacteria and transfer it to your skin.
• For a sexy look, dab a little shimmery blush on the highest point of your cheekbone nearest your eye.
• Using powder blush? Always sweep it in one direction. Going over & over or around and around causes streaks & can hurt your brush.
• Cream blush is great for mature skin. It blends easily & therefore looks very natural. For gel or cream blush, dab a dot on the apple of the cheek and two smaller dots up the cheekbone. Blend the dots together up to the hairline.
• Dusky pink blush will warm up any tired-looking skin.
