                   A few common makeup tips which are often forgotten or ignored but makes a big difference if kept in mind.

* When lining your lips, fill up the whole lips with the lip pencil. It will work as a good base. If you just outline and don't fill in the color then after a couple of hours only the outline will stay.

* To make lipstick stay up for longer durations, apply the lipstick and then blot it with a tissue or dust a little loose powder over lips. Reapply your lipstick.

* When wearing dark eyes or smoky eyes apply pale nude shades of lipstick. Similarly wear deep lipstick with pale nude eyes.

* Eyebrows should be well groomed, never neglect or ignore them. If they are sparse fill in with a brow powder and give shape with a brush.

* Using an eyelash curler opens up the eyes. It makes the lashes look longer and eyes look bigger.

* Dust loose powder on your eyelashes before applying mascara to make them look thicker.

* For everyday makeup use neutral colors for the eyes. Pale shades like vanilla, sand and almond and mid shades like taupe, terracotta and peach look very flattering and soft.

* Best and most traditional way to apply blusher, even for novices, is to smile and place the blusher on the apple of the cheeks. Apply with a circular motion and then blend upward and outward. For a cream blusher use fingertips if you are not used to working with a brush.

* Always use a little foundation on your eyelids if you are not using wearing an eyeshadow. It will even out the skin and give your eyes a clean and fresh look. Set with a little loose powder using a big fluffy brush.

Final Look

                 I am obsessed  with green nowadays so here is another green and yellow nail art which is so simple and so cute. I love green on nails be it any shade, don't know when I will overcome it but till then I will keep coming  up with newer green based nail art.

                 First step is to use the base coat but I mostly use a nail hardener. After it dries off, I applied 3 coats of yellow nail polish and left it to dry.

                

Step 1

                  Then I took a very thin painting brush and drew vertical stripes with a leaf green color. I double coated it to make it bright.



                   When it dried, I sealed it in with a top coat so that it stays on for long without chipping.



                   Hope you girls like it and leave behind your precious comments. I think the shades- yellow and leaf green has a touch of freshness it them, perfect for the coming summers. What you think?

Final Look

               Hi Girls, I am in love with green nail polish these days and so I have done this green and orange nail art. The glittery look is so in right now that I cant avoid it inspite of my mom telling me it gaudy etc etc I have gone ahead and used silver glitter on top. So here are the simple steps to achieve this look.

             
                       As always I had applied my nail hardener/base coat and left it to dry for sometimes.

              
                       Then I applied Street Wear Orange Swirl on all my nails and left them to dry for 10 mins. Two coats were enough for full opacity. (step 1)


       
            

Step 1

                       Now I painted on green tips in a slanted manner and also did the same on upper part of the nails. (step 2)           

                       Then I used silver glitter on my nails and left them to dry for 20 mins.


                       Atlast I sealed in my precious nailart with a top coat.

Step 2

                       Hope you all like my nailart and bear with me. Please leave behind your precious comments and let me know your opinion. Thanks

  

             Hi girls, I had done these nails about a month back but  couldn't post it. I love trying out new nail art designs and this one is simple and I so love the color.

               Here I have used Avon Simply Pretty Nail Polish in Green Dream. Its a pale green with blue undertones atleast so it seems to me :D Its a new launch of Avon along with a couple of other colors.
             
                First I applied my base coat and left it to dry and then I applied 3 coats of Avon,s Green Dream one by one, letting each coat to dry before applying the other coat.

                 When my nails were dry I applied a gold glitter polish on top to finish the look. I quite liked it but did you? Please let me know and thanks very much for bearing with me :P
