Imagine this, over the past few months you have been searching for the man of your dreams. It seems impossible to find a good, perfect match in the crowd but one day, luck was on your side and cupid too. You are at a party and you meet this attractive man who seems to be the answer to your quest. He approaches you and begins chatting. The connection was great but there was only one issue. He seemed to be distracted by your lips. Generally, a woman would find this flattering, but every time he looked at your lips, a frown would emerge on his face. Before the evening faded into night, you excused yourself to get a glimpse of what was distracting him. The mirror reflected a drought that had cracked up on your lips. You felt betrayed by the expensive, branded moisturizing lipstick you bought the previous day. Nobody would like to be in this situation. It is very important for one’s personality to be physically well groomed; especially the face and its features, which are usually noticed first and can create an everlasting impression, positively or negatively. When we speak, focus is drawn to the lips and it is therefore essential to maintain healthy and good-looking lips. Moreover, supple, well nourished, and soft lips make you naturally and exceptionally attractive and sensual. Read on to know ways to get soft lips. 

Ways To Get Soft Lips
  •  Healthy, soft, and plump lips are obtained by maintaining and increasing the moisture content. The best way to ensure your lips are well hydrated is to ensure high intake of water on a daily basis (minimum of 8 glasses or 64 ounces).
  • Avoid the urge to lick your lips when they are dry as saliva acts only as a temporary moisturizing solution but eventually causes more harm as it causes dryness.
  • Products, which include ingredients such as cocoa butter or Shea butter and vitamin E, are good sources of moisture.
  • Exfoliating is very important in getting better results as dead cells are removed and the skin is clean and ready for moisturizing. You get lip-exfoliating products such as Body Shop’s Lip Scuff, which also have moisturizing compositions.
  • Exfoliation can also be done naturally by using a soft toothbrush (different from the one you use for your teeth) to gently, scrub your lips in circular movements. Another method is by first moistening your lips and then applying sugar or salt using your finger and moving lightly in small rotations. A word of caution is not to use salt if you have cuts or wounds.
  • There are many cosmetics such as lip balms (e.g. Carmex and Burt's Bees - Beeswax Lip Balm), chap sticks (e.g. Alba) or lip creams that are available to help you get soft lips. Here too it is important you apply these products by either using your finger, or gently dabbing in circular motions to get a good outcome.
  • Margarine (butter) and honey (only pure honey) are good products for moisturizing too. Take a small amount of butter or honey and apply it gently with your finger in tiny rotations. Leave it on for one or two minutes and wipe it clean with a soft towel or tissue. You could repeat this if required.
  • Butter gives your lips that sheen and lush texture while honey adds to the plumpness of your lips. You can also use coconut juice, rose milk, olive oil, or baby oil in a similar fashion to get radiant and healthy lips.
  • At night, before you sleep apply two layers of crème or petroleum jelly such as Vaseline. Gently massage a layer in rotating motions and then apply a thicker layer on top. The second layer will be absorbed during the night and will help increase moisture content.
  • It is important to note that products over a year old, cheap products or sharing of products may pass on bacteria to your lips, which may be harmful.

Not many women are lucky to have beautiful hazel green eyes, which can make one look absolutely beautiful and stunning with the right eye makeup. Although, the eye color options for women with green eyes are limited due to their unusual eye color, they can still make fabulous use of the available options to give a dramatized look to your eyes. It is important not to tone down the color of green eyes; it has to be enhanced in the right way. In case you want to know more about eye makeup for green eyes, read the article to find some useful tips.

Eye Makeup Tips For Green Eyes

Colors & Shades
The idea is to enhance and dramatize the green eyes instead of toning them down. Therefore, go for shades and colors that do not compete with the eye color. Those with a darker green shade of eyes should choose lighter colors. Similarly, darker shades are better for a light hazel green shade of the eyes. The colors should also compliment the occasion for which you will wear the eye color. Colors like peach, violet, purple, brown, bronze, mauve, khaki and beige should be chosen for makeup for green eyes. A combination of colors of eyeshadow and eye pencils can also be used, rather than using the same color for both. Eyeshadow in shades of taupes, coral, mocha and lilacs will give a dramatic effect to green eyes.

Eye Shadow Application Tips
Choose any of the above mentioned shades and choose a light color as the highlighter for application. Lilac can be a good highlighter for green eyes. Apply a thick single stroke to the row bone and then apply it evenly on all over the bone. This is to be followed by a darker shade, such as deep purple, which is to be applied to the crease of the eyes. Blend well till it is uniformly applied over the crease. The combination of dark purple and lilac gives a stark effect to hazel green eyes. A combination of light brown and bronze can also be tried for a more subtle look.

Eyeliner/ Eye Pencil Application Tips
Once you have applied the eye shadow, you should apply eyeliner or eye pencil to enhance the look, though you can also leave the eye shadow if you want to keep your look simple. For green eyes, golden, dark gray, shades of plums and violets or shades of brown and bronze would be best suited. Apply the liner or the pencil by gliding it smoothly on the outer ‘V’ shape of the eyelid. Apply the liner or pencil on the lower eyelid as well, on the outer rim. Those who are using eyeliner should allow it to dry completely and avoid blinking the eye to prevent it from smudging.

Mascara Application Tips
Mascara for green eyes can be either transparent or in a shade of brown. After using an eyelash curler on the eyelashes, apply the mascara evenly and allow it dry completely by keeping your eyes open for a few seconds.

Every bride deserves to be the very special lady of the day and look her best. The hairdo, the makeup, the bridal trousseau and how the bride conducts herself is the focus of everybody's attention on this day and you will certainly feel much more comfortable, if you have already done the dress rehearsal first. Here are some useful tips for the bride:

* To cover the reddish skin, use sheer color corrector and apply tinted moisturizer of yellowish green or olive green shade to neutralize it.
* Pink color blush is not for the wedding day, generally speaking. Try bronzer under cheekbones instead.
* Bright lip colors may be warm such as orange-red, orange-gold, copper and warm beiges, creams and caramels or cool such as fuchsia, magenta, blue-reds, shades of lilac and pink and make lips look plusher and fuller.
* Deep warm lip colors such as yellowish and orangish browns; mahogany, deep warm reds and chocolate and deep cool shades such as cool brown, taupe, deep purple, plum and blue-toned burgundy underplay too much thickness of lips.
* The subtle look can be achieved by using the air-brush a lot and sticking to light shades such as cream, gold, lime green and brown for warm skin undertones and lilac, plums and soft pink for cool skin undertones.
* Neutrals are the safest choice to make you seem a bride endowed with natural beauty.
* Be sure to coordinate you overall look: all the colors should have either warm or cool tone while your hair, make-up, jewelry and gown should correspond to the carefully chosen theme.
* Hairstyle is usually chosen, after completing the makeup to suit the looks of the bride.
* If you are not used to wearing heavy makeup, keep your hands away from blue and green eye shadows.
* For olive and dusky skinned ladies, maroons and brown lip colors are the safest bet as well as the golden tones.
* Hairstyles are often adorned with pearls, rhinestones, flower buds, golden lace, satin ribbons, jeweled hair bands and tiaras among other hair ornaments and may range from the simplest French braid or bud to complex and elaborate hairdos.
* Bridal makeup includes all the attention to the minutest of details. Don't overlook them for the finished look.
* A timeless makeup look will keep your wedding snaps fresher forever, so try not to give in to the fads of the day.
* Cream foundation with a high pigment level is recommended.
* Don't forget to cover your neck, chest, area behind your ears with foundation and makeup too.
* Morning weddings need natural look makeup while evening weddings need more formally adorned brides with darker makeup shades.
* Lighting also determines your makeup. A well-lit area uses lighter colors while deeper tones are good for darker areas. Fluorescent lighting will add a greenish tinge to everything so avoid green shades.
* Try not to be too dramatic but there is a secret seldom revealed: red lipstick makes teeth appear whiter!
