April 20th, 2010



Want to know the makeup and beauty trends for 2010? Discovering the makeup and beauty trends for 2010 will ensure you are fashion forward this year and looking your beautiful best. Fashions and styles trend in and out with what seems little sense to the uninitiated but the upcoming seasons beauty do’s are plain to see when you are keeping your finger on the pulse of the industry. So without further ado, let us take a look at what is to come for 2010.

Big Picture Beauty Patterns

Inspiration comes from a variety of sources for the beauty industry. Designers can often find design inspiration from nature, their friends, their city or from more intimate encounters. 2010 has inspiration coming from the individual, the beauty that comes from within, rather than without. So what does that mean for fashion and beauty? Behold…

1. The runway is being overrun by natural beauty inspired collections. Makeup is understated, and being used to call out the natural sparkle of the wearer. Designers are no longer calling for wild eye catching colors to call attention, but rather seeking warm and inviting looks that hold attention once found. As makeup is concerned, expect more beautifully bold eyebrows that are thick and youthful. There is no need for plucking and pain and instead spend your time puffing and colorizing. Textures will be light and used sparingly, highlights given just a flair of color to bring out the natural curves that can be found in the wearer’s bone structure. The real excitement with makeup this 2010 is going on with the eyes.

2. Eye makeup and shadow is your true chance to shine this year as the trending is making this the focus of your true understated beauty. Natural makeup to blend in, and bold vibrant, rich eye makeup to hold the focus of your attention. Dark smoky colors shades are in, and cats eye greens, grays and coal black eyeliner create the hint of allure and danger.

3. Beaded makeup used to add a touch of flair to offset the understated elegance of natural trends. Designers and models are falling in love with adding beads, typically reserved for jewelry, to their makeup tool kit. A well placed colored bead lightly placed high on the cheek bone or above the lip can create a beautiful brilliance that hints at all the personality held within the understated styles of the season. For the more gregarious, beading patterns set into wrist and top of the hand for special engagements is making a splash among celebrities as well. Think henna with beautiful light catching beads.

4. When it comes to lips this 2010, avoid bold colors and use the seductive classic colors of plum, wine dark reds, and lighter crimsons. The lips are being used to draw in your pray rather than to over power them. Attract them with the hints of the allures and emotions of she who resides beneath your strong and collected exterior.

5. The final beauty accessory making a comeback this coming season are the subtle custom jewelry pieces used to complement your overall makeup result. Highly personal unique pieces used to accentuate your style are all the rage, you can put your huge diamonds away this season as 2010 has custom self made jewelry with a style trumping expense.

February 10th, 2010



Those days are gone when a man entering a beauty salon was objectionable, or considered to be fatal to his masculinity.

So in present world, making the best of your looks and looking neat has become extremely significant for men. These beauty guidelines are for all those men who desire to look their best, and attract people more easily.

Men, similar to women, get concerned when they observe gray hair. For that reason, there are beauty guidelines for men who are going gray. If you are going gray, then cover them up as soon as you see them. Either snip them off or color them. Do not wait for it to turn into more noticeable one.

Use a good kind of sunscreen, and a moisturizer, to prevent the skin from drying out and looking leathery.

Electrolysis Laser Hair Removal is Science Fiction Beauty

January 26th, 2010



A notable difference between laser and electrolysis is that lasers only disrupt the hair follicle, while electrolysis completely destroys it. The major setback of electrolysis is that it treats one follicle at a time, while a laser can target quite a large area and disrupt hundreds of follicles at a time.

Technology is improving at a blistering pace. Ten years ago no one would have thought that lasers would be used to remove hair. That is right, the commercial application of laser technology as a hair removal technique is less than ten years old.

On the other hand, electrolysis was first spoken about 133 years ago. This means that electrolysis has a long tradition and can be trusted as we have had ample time to study the long term effects. As of present we understand more about the electronic processes involved in particles than we do of the other forces, energies and vibrations that keep this world together.

When you compare the prices of the two procedures it becomes apparent that laser treatment is not only the cheaper option in the long run, but also the quickest and most convenient. So why is electrolysis still around?

The first thing to note here is that in the immediate short term, electrolysis is more affordable. You can have one session a week, so your weekly expense will be around $50. If you had one laser treatment, it would set you back over $2,000. Very few people can afford that, but $50 is within the budget constraints of most people.

Another advantage with electrolysis is that it can be used around the eye area. The lasers used for hair removal is too strong to risk aiming it near someone’s eyes. So if you chose to have your eyebrows thinned, then electrolysis is your only permanent electrolysis hair removal option.

You might be thinking, ‘hey wait a minute, waxing or shaving is a lot cheaper and more convenient’. Well, is it? How much do you spend on wax, shaving cream and razors in twenty years? How much time do you spend each week with a razor in your hand or plucking hair from your legs? How much pain and discomfort does that cause you? There is only one viable answer to this personal dilemma.
