Sometimes perfect make-up isn’t in the cards. It doesn’t matter how much time you allot yourself, or how slow or patient you are. Some days, your liquid liner is going to be wonky, your cheeks un-even, your mascara will smudge. And it sucks. And while sometimes, make up screw ups aren’t preventable, they can be fixed, and you can salvage your look!
It’s hot out, and it’s only going to get hotter. And while we shed our layers and don cute bikini’s, mini’s, and tanks, it’s important to be conscious of our skin. Sun exposure is the number one cause of melanoma, one of the most lethal cancer’s out there. And the majority of cases are preventable.
So while it’s great to get your Vitamin D on, letting harmful UVA and UVB rays penetrate your un-predicted skin is not so hot. Here are some amazing, MUST KNOW tips to keep your skin burn, and freaky-mole-free! [Read more...]
Remember the 90s? Yeah, me to. I think the 90s killed lip liner. You remember. White crop tops, jean jackets, flannel shirts on everyone, straight n’ stringy hair — and lip liner. And not just a little bit here and a little bit there. An outline. And what was it with everyone thinking their lip-liner color was mocha? I can honestly say I remember seeing more lip liner faux pas in the 90s than Furbys. And I owned 3.
Flash forward 10-15 years, and we’re still haunted by lip liner. But we need to get over it. For the sake of crooked pouts, and small lips everywhere!
I often get asked how to apply make-up. There are so many different ways and methods that I couldn’t possibly give them a step by step routine. Applying make-up is a very fluid process, that can change from look, to look. The most important part is to do what feels best, and looks the most flattering. But- even though my result isn’t a concrete process – here are some tips of the trade, to help you apply your make-up with a bit more of refined hand.
There is just something about the Pin-Up look. A Pin-Up Model is flirty and confident, but with a hint of naivety. Pin-ups can be fierce, or they can be cute, or sexy. Being a pin-up not only takes extreme confidence, a beautiful smile, and deep comfort in one’s sexuality, and can pull off the innocence.
There are hundreds upon hundreds of fake blood recipes on the internet. If you do a google search, you’ll come up with tons of runny, goopy, syrupy concoctions. But, with so many recipes how do you know, which will be good for what effect? There are many different style, themes, and feels when going for blood.
You may need something thin to drip from the corner of a vampire’s mouth, or to splatted around the walls of a simulated crime scene. You may need an aged, brown, chunky blood for around the corners of a long-dead zombies mouth, or to simulate decay on a body.
Whether you are creating blood to add to a costume, or to create a terrifying and gore-y slasher film, you are going to need the realism that only the right color and consistency can bring.
With that, here are my recipes for the most realistic home recipes for blood.
It’s somewhere between 6 and 7 am on Saturday morning. You alarm is blaring static loudly to wake you out of a drunken stupor. Your eyes un-fog to reveal the rest of your body slumped on the bed, still wearing [although disheveled] the clothes from last night. Inside your slightly damp [?] sweater pocket you feel around and pull out some mysterious items. Hopefully they clear up the haze that has replaced all memories of last night.
In your right pocket, 6 neon drink umbrellas, 3 plastic swords and a bus stub. In your left pocket- some loose change and 7 bottle caps from various beers. That would explain the throbbing headache.
You stand up, and stumble your way to the medicine cabinet, dizzy and lightheaded. Your body is dehydrated.
The girl staring back at you when you reach the mirror is not a pretty sight. Her hair matted and tangled, her mascara streaked and blotchy, her eyes puffy and sore, and her face is yellowed and pale.
You swing open the medicine cabinet in hopes of aspirin, when the mirror swings the reflection of your alarm clock into view. It flashes 10:30 – not 6 or 7.
SHIT! You instantly recall that you had to work / babysit /go to class / finish an essay at the library / party again / visit mom / help hot neighbor move / not look hungover !
With that revelation you dash towards your laptop, discarded early last night after a quick google search of the local bars in the area to plan a pre-drinking rendezvous. Pulling up your browser, you type w-w-w.-u-v-k-i-t-t-y-.c-o-m. You need some TST’s, and fast!
When she's not busy blogging, Kimmi can be found at local concerts, dyeing her hair, making a crafty disaster on the floor of her apartment, or burning things in her oven. [Read More …]
