8 Make Up Tips to Look Older … Make up is used by many to alter and enhance appearance and so many of us use it to look younger. You may be thinking the desire to look older is ludicrous, unless you’re talking stage-make up with drawn on wrinkles and colored-in liver spots for a grandma costume. However, for some women having a naturally youthful face can actually be a curse and make up tips to look older are a boost. It may be something as simple as wanting to be able to get into bars or it might affect your work.

It seems to be in everything all-natural-eco-awesome (that isn’t vegan, anyway), from face masks to smoothies to a replacement ingredient to create more healthful recipes. When I began hunting for do it yourself face masks, I kept seeing it: oatmeal and yogurt face mask . Yogurt honey mask . Yogurt: the key to a DIY life. The problem is that every time I buy yogurt, plain or otherwise, it goes bad. If you’re like me, you have a similar problem: the “best” DIY skincare recipes , which are supposed to use “things you already have at home” aren’t actually made with things you have at home . All Skin Types Homemade Cat Litter Mask : Hear me out. Yogurt and Honey Face Mask : A classic that I can never remember to make when I actually have plain yogurt.

6 secrets I learned at makeup artist school - StumbleUpon total-beauty TODAY Style TODAY Jan. 12, 2012 at 9:50 AM ET Totalbeauty.com / By Sharon Yi, TotalBeauty.com You could say that I have a love/hate relationship with makeup. But then there are those days when my liner refuses to go on straight, my bronzer makes me look like an Asian Snookie, or my lashes refuse to curl. I had one of those days last week, and after walking into work wearing two very different winged tips on my eyes, my editor assigned me a new story: Go to makeup school and write about it.

Image by Psoup215 on flickr If you know nothing about makeup and cosmetics, having to step into the shiny cosmetic halls of myers can be daunting and scary.

Painted Ladies Doe Deere Blogazine: musings of the Unicorn Queen 10 of the Best Drug Store Beauty Buys I have an apology to make: I used to be one of those girls behind the makeup counter of a big, fancy department store selling you over-priced beauty products. While I won’t say which brand I worked for, I can tell you that my uniform consisted of all black and way too much makeup. Hey, it was the 90’s, after all. Well, I’m here to make amends. The beauty industry is full of people pushing products that they don’t stand behind 100%.
