5 Fruits for a glowing skin



Banana: This is one fruit that's abundantly available in India all through the year. We know it's a good source of iron, magnesium and potassium and helps reduce menstrual cramps. The effect of banana on skin too is not something that can be ignored. Bananas are rich in vitamin A, B and E and hence works as an anti-aging agent. A fresh mashed banana facial can do wonders for your skin.

Lemon: Lemon juice is an important ingredient in most Indian recipes. This is also a fruit of all seasons and almost always finds place on your kitchen shelf or refrigerator. With its vitamin C content, its juice will keep your skin beautiful. A glass of warm water with a tsp of honey and a dash of lemon juice on an empty stomach every morning is a great skin cleanser. With its astringent properties, it can be used to lighten the skin tone and also diminish acne scars. Rub the inside of a lemon peel on your elbow remove dark spots. Mix lemon and honey and use it as a natural bleach on your skin.Apple: An apple a day keeps the doctor away is cliched, but its health benefits are indisputable. Apple's antioxidant property prevents cell and tissue damage. Studies by nutritionists have shown that apples contain abundant amounts of elastin and collagen that help keep the skin young. Applying a mixture of mashed apple, honey, rose water and oatmeal can act as a great exfoliating mask on your skin.

Orange: Rich in vitamin C that improves skin texture. Like apple, orange too contains collagen that slows skin aging process. Rub the insides of orange on your skin to tighten the skin. Oranges can be dried and powdered and used as a natural scrub. Like lemon, oranges too help clear skin blemishes.

Papaya: The benefits of this fruit on skin have perhaps been talked about since the time of our ancestors. Papaya is rich in antioxidants and contain a special enzyme called papain that can kill dead cells and cure skin impurities. A glass of papaya milk or just applying the flesh of papaya on your skin can do wonders to your skin.

Mango: Rightly called the king of fruits for not just its taste but also for health benefits. The soft pulpy fruit has an amazing effect on skin too. Rich in vitamin-A and rich antioxidants, it fights against skin aging, regenerates skin cells and restores the elasticity of skin.

PLAN YOUR OWN EVENT: 5 TIPS TO DO IT YOURSELF






Get Out The Whiteboard
No matter the type of event you’re planning, you need to map out a strategy. What’s the goal of your event? Are you introducing a new product or service to customers? Running a demo for analysts or prospects?

Whether your end goal is to get in front of key influencers or present before a group of executives, you’ll want to whiteboard a strategy. Look at your ideal audience, what message will resonate with them and how you are going to measure results. Remember, you’ll have no clue whether your event was a bust or boon unless you have the right metrics.

Bring Up Budget
Once you have your goals outlined, you need to consider how much it will cost to accomplish those goals. Personally, I make a checklist of every single cost item I need to make an event happen. This can include signs, invitations, graphic treatments for the website, food, beverages, music, giveaways, etc. Think back to events you’ve attended and imagine all the little things that were involved. What do you absolutely need and what can you live without? Make up a checklist and start developing an overall price tag

A Time and Place for Every Event
Are you hosting executives or managers? Is it a presentation or a mixer? Is this event part of your demand generation strategy or about brand awareness?

The answer to these questions should determine when and where your event is held. If you’re targeting busy executives, for instance, you’ll want to plan a fancy breakfast. A networking event is best served in the evening with cocktails. A presentation feels forced in a bar. Better to hold that kind of an event in a hotel or conference room.

Be aware of how our surroundings influence our attention spans and the type of message we expect to hear.
Iteration of an Invite

The invitation to your event is one of the most important aspects of the entire planning process. You don’t want to send out the first invite too early or too late. Three weeks out is a good rule to live by. But if you want to get on executives’ calendars, you might want to send it out even earlier. A more detailed, elaborate invite for a dinner event is appropriate, but you may want to be more simple and straight to the point if you’re presenting a demo. Include directions that include access to public transportation. Make it easy to be an attendee.

Also, you’ll want to segment your invite list. Marketing automation can help immensely in this case. An invite to analyst event will just junk up a CMO’s inbox. And you’ll want to follow up. Those who have RSVP’d should receive reminders that differ in timing and message than those who haven’t.

Walk a Mile
Visit the venue the day before your event. Envision how you want attendees to experience the event. What signs need to be in place to avoid confusion? Where should you station staff? Basically, you want to understand what your guests will see from the time they walk into the venue to the registration table to the actual event. Feel matters. And the only way to anticipate how your event will feel is to walk a mile in your guests’ shoes.

Makeup for Different Face Shapes

http://cdn2.stylecraze.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/makeup4.jpg

1. Makeup tips for Oval Face:

An oval face shape is perfectly symmetrical. The eyes are separated by an eye’s length; the forehead is wider than the lower face. This bone structure works with just about any makeup look. Women use highlight and contour techniques to achieve this look, so an oval faced person can skip heavy contouring as the face shape is naturally contoured.

So for makeup, all an oval face needs is a Bronzer in a “3”shape from the forehead to cheekbones and then to the chin in order to accentuate the ideal features that the face already has. This face shape can pull off latest trends and colours very easily.
  • Next comes eyebrows. Arched brows can give a more oval shape. So follow natural shape of brow bones and tweeze that way.
  • While doing makeup for eyes or lips, concentrate on any one feature, either eyes or lips keeping the other simple .

2.  Makeup tips for Round Face:

Round face has equal length and width. So when it comes to makeup, you have to create the illusion of length. Contouring is very important for this face shape. A bronzer can work as a contour when applied to the temples and beneath the jaw line. Doing so will create the illusion of an oval face. Also highlight the forehead, area under the eyes and the chin to draw attention to the centre of your face.

A blush can be applied just beneath the cheekbones in order to give them definition, or apply it directly to the apples of the cheeks to accentuate their perfect shape. Do apply the blush in upward strokes to give a slimming effect.
A little care needs to be taken regarding the colours as bright colours only accentuate the roundness of the face.

3Makeup tips for Oblong Face:
Oblong or long face as it is commonly known gives you plenty of surface area to play with makeup, so new things can often be tried but one has to be careful about the choice of colours. The face has length but lacks the required width. So contouring across the lower section of the chin helps to shorten the face length. Blush should be applied to the apples of the cheek to widen your face. A neutral palette works best for this face shape.
  • Make your eye lashes look bigger and more dramatic by using double curling (before and after use of mascara) or you may even experiment with darker false lashes.
  • Try to keep lips minimum and rosy pink, they look the best and wide, to make face appear fuller.
  • Coming to the nose, like for oval face you do a side shadowing. Here do a top shadowing technique, do not use shadowing on sides of nose, let it remain covered in foundation. Sweep the top of nose bone with a bronzer.

Blending Makeup with Your Outfit When Stepping Out in Navy Blue

Dress Colour codes

It is a bright sunny morning and you just feel like stepping out in that blue or navy blue suit. What else will accompany the chosen attire to crown off your merry mood? Blue attire suits both daily activities and your night excursions. It is now evident that people choose colours they identify with and feel comfortable in. I prefer wool due to the deep natural colour found in the fabric. Wool tends to last longer too.
The web reveals the existence of numerous colours that have been churned out by various communities from all over the world. A person’s choice of colour is closely associated with one’s geographical location, oreintation or adaptation. However, a universally acceptable code commands our choices of colour where appeal is detected by eyes from every corner of the world. A good fashion show cannot fail to appeal to any keen or casual observer. Your dress code therefore goes a long way towards enhancing your general image and social outlook both officially and casually. A careful selection of colour and fabrics in your dressing greatly improves the impression you create in the outer world. Suggestions and hints are given here to help produce an exemplary look in you to strike that desirable look that befits businessmen or women.
Men tend to apply colour codes conservatively but are advised to try mix-matching and experiment on new shades of colour. You never know what colour will do for you and to you.

Navy Blue or blue outfits, moods and feelings

Outfits that come in navy blue or mid blue colour automatically strike a calm mood in both the wearer of the cloth and the observer. Blue is the colour we see in the waters of the sea (As a reflection of the sky in water) and the sky. The colour triggers a peaceful mood, a feeling of serenity, calmness or tranquility in the mind. The colour is claimed to have a calming effect on anybody who associates with it. There is an executive touch to this colour that makes it appeal to many fashion enthusiasts.

Make-up

Ladies are advised to wear rose-coloured makeup to blend with their blue outfits for that perfect match.



Lipstick

That classic look that you desire will further be enhanced if you wear a light shade of pink lipstick.

Ear rings

These should match with either your eye’s colour or your lipstick shade. The size and design of the earring is however left to one’s choice.

Eye Colour

A feint cobalt blue or gold coloured shade of eye make-up will go well with your blue or navy blue suit.

Nail Vanish

Clear nail vanish is recommended. No hard rules exist here which implies that experiments are encouraged here. There are models who look splendid with nail vanish that matches their lipstick.

Hand bags

Choose a nice dark or dark-brown leather hand bag or brief case. Leather bags tend to be classy compared to synthetic imitations while imitations give a myriad of colours to suit your wardrobe.

Shoes

These should be chosen in line with the colour of the handbag or brief case. Ensure a match between your shoe and bag.

Mix and match

Your blue suit requires a carefully chosen blouse or shirt to go with it. A poor selection of the two quickly waters down you general outlook. Take time to try out several shades from your wardrobe before you commit yourself. It is however suggested that you try wearing your Navy blue Suit with a Light-purple shirt or Blouse and a Red or navy blue stripped tie or scarf to strike that cool outlook.

MAKEUP TIPS FOR MEN

makeup for men


Yeah! I know most people will be surprised to hear about men makeup. Yes, men do apply makeup though it's rarely heard of in Africa. But think about it, when artists (movie/ music) are about to go on set, they apply makeup. Also, when male celebrities go out they apply makeups.

so how do we apply this makeup as men in order to be differentiated from women? Below are brief tips for male makeups

  • For men who have never cared for their skin before, start with deep exfoliation using the Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleaning System and cleanse with Elemis Deep Cleanse Facial Wash. 
  • Most men have more delicate and sensitive skin than women due to the aggravating effects of shaving regularly. It is also more often drier, so we recommend a thick, oil-rich cream like Crème de la Mer that forms a comfort blanket on tired skin.
  • Apply a nourishing lip balm (Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balm) all over the lips to keep them smooth and kissable!
  • To get brighter, more sparkly eyes, use eye drops (Visine, original formula).
  • Kanebo's Sensai Bronzing Gel can help men recreate a more healthy, tanned complexion.
  • Disguise bags and dark hollows under the eyes with YSL Touche Eclat for Men -- it reflects light away to get rid of the blue/dark purple appearance of circles and soft-focuses lines.
  • Eliminate blemishes and treat problem areas over time with Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Concealer.
  • Using chocolate brown and deep brown-grey eyeliner will make the look more subtle. Applied right in the lash line, a powder-based liner will be harder to detect but will instantly bring out the eye color.
  • Cleverly applied bronzer and highlighter can also completely reshape the facial framework and give you the masculine square jaw and defined cheekbones you have always wanted.

5 Steps to Melt-Proof Makeup



1. Prep with primer. For a fresh and dewy complexion that truly lasts all day, always prep with primer before applying foundation. Look for a primer that contains silicone (the key ingredient in most long-wearing formulas), which will act as a barrier between humidity and your skin.

2. Choose a silicone-based foundation. As with primers, silicone-based foundations are truly the longest wearing and the very best option when met with moisture.

3. Cream, please. Play off the heat and use a cream shadow and cream-based blush instead of powder versions. Cream products give you a nice, natural looking glow and they won’t get cakey. Look for long-wear versions for added insurance.

4. Use a waterproof concealer. If mascara is the only waterproof product in your makeup bag, then it’s time to do a little shopping. A densely pigmented, waterproof concealer will hide dark circles and blemishes, even in extreme heat.

5. Mind your lashes. For lush lashes and liner that won’t run, use a waterproof liquid liner and waterproof mascara. Raccoon eyes are never a cute look.
