Chic-Shuk Secrets

Its amazing how many cosmetics experts, make-up artists and beauty products consultants recommend using makeup brush while applying any make-up products. Including all makeup types, as liquid foundation, eye shadows AND lipsticks, it seems like this is the right way to go. However, recent beauty research shows that using our fingers is a better way to go… While using your fingers, you basically naturally smooth in the makeup powder or liquid deeper into the skin. That human touch helps in keeping all make-up applications last longer, blend in nicer and prevent an over do. Next time, before spending a fortune on some makeup brushes, simply try using those fingers of yours. Just like old times. Trust me- you`d get the best natural look!  

I`m probably gonna write many post about her since I admire her beauty and since she is one of my most favorite celeb! According to the little Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets, Cameron Diaz uses her lipstick make up as a blusher, especially for the on-the-go touch-ups. The beauty benefits you get from wearing lipstick as blush:

1. Gives your cheeks a youthful, healthy looking glow.

2. The color coordinates your cheeks with your lips, which create high fashion photography look.

3. Matching cheeks and lips can set off other features such as long, dark, thick lashes, or great bone structure.   

In order to make sure her entire make up applications such as eye-shadows and blush is applied smoothly Cameron Diaz uses the Sonya Dakar Hydra-soft lotion, which is a great oil free moisturizer. More to that, her basic foundation smooth and clear skin maker which is the Sun-forgettable 30SPF mineral powder, helps smooth and clear skin. It is one of Diaz`s favorite duel cosmetic application: an amazing mineral facial healthy foundation make up application plus an anti wrinkles protector at the same time, thanks to its 30 SPF powers, against the aging UV rays! Two birds in one stone… mmm.. not bad!

If you ever wondered what is the most versatile shade that can be bright, playful, sultry and subtle then the answer is: Purple!  Experts say soft shades like lilac and violet are an easy way to add some pleasing color to your eye lid or when used as liner, especially if you’ve been wearing lots of neutral shades. Purple eye shadow makes green eyes pop, brown eyes brighter, and gives blue eyes a cool iciness. It is the latest hue to make an impact on the trend list. Top makeup stylists suggest that the most flattering purple is bluish lavender and that Fuchsia is the least flattering one. Always combine purples with other neutrals (golds, tans, taupes, browns) to avoid overkill.
