BEAUTY NEWS ; THE EYES HAVE IT

How to Use Corrective Make-up for Your Eyes

       I’m often approached by women who want to know how to make the best of their eyes, for good reason. We have placed a great deal of importance on the eyes and what they say about us. An old adage is that “The eyes are the window to the soul”, meaning that you can judge a person’s character by looking into his or her eyes. We have popular songs written about “Sad Eyes”, “Lying Eyes” and even “Bette Davis Eyes”, so as a whole we must think the eyes are a major facet of a person’s appearance.

       So, in an attempt to help those who want to troubleshoot some of the more common “problem areas” when it comes to the eyes, here are a few tips and tricks to make the most of what you’ve got:

       The most common problems when it comes to the eyes are the impression that the eyes are “too narrow”, “too round”, “too wide” or “too close together” to be appealing. The fact is that there are some cases where the shape or positioning of the eyes throws off the balance of the face, but most people see any flaws they may have as magnified. Try to remember that it only looks prominent to you because you see it every day. For most people, their wide, narrow, round or close eyes are only minimally so.

       The trick to enhancing these features to look their best is to use your eye make-up to create contours and highlights to bring certain areas forward and make them look larger, while making other sections look smaller and move to the background. The particular areas and techniques depend on the specific situation.

Wide-Set Eyes:

       With widely-spaced eyes, many women feel that their faces are too broad, and that overall effect is that their face appears too wide or heavier than it actually is. In order to create the illusion that the eyes are closer together, you need to minimize the appearance of the area between the eyes.

       This is accomplished by using a darker shade of eye make-up to create a contour on the inside of the eye. The contour should be sized approximately the width of the iris of the eye or at most one-half of the entire width of the eye from corner to corner. By darkening the area to the inside of the eyes, you make the eyes appear closer by making the space between the eyes appear lesser.

       Use a medium shade of eye color on the lids of the eyes and a light shade to create a highlight on the upper outside of the brow. The lighter shade here will make the area appear larger and seem to “move” the eyes inward to the center. Blend the colors softly to create a gentle, subtle effect.

Close-Set Eyes:

       For closely-spaced eyes, the goal is to create the illusion of more space between the eyes, and to minimize the space to the outside corners of the eyes.

       To do this, we apply a darker contouring shade to the outside of the eyes, using roughly the same proportions as we used on the inside of the eyes above. We couple this with a medium shade of eye color to tie the shading together, and finish it by adding a highlight to the inside corners of the brow.

Tak seperti pernikahan pasangan bangsawan lain, hanya akan ada satu cincin di pernikahan William dan Kate nanti.Pasca pernikahannya nanti, William sudah memutuskan bahwa dirinya tak akan mengenakan cincin.

GET LASHES LIKE THE KARDASHIANS AND THEN SOME

Even without sitting through an entire episode of “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” we bet you could guess which (above the waist) assets have helped the three sisters rise to fame: their thick, luscious and enormous eyelashes, of course. Lash extensions have been popular in doe-eyed loving countries, like Korea, for decades but they’re a recent and rising craze in North America thanks to lash-wearers, like the Kardashians and other red-carpeters. Yonette Joris, the founder of Winks Eyelash Boutique in Toronto, cites the sisters as the top requested sets to mimic, though we can’t help but assume that Elizabeth Taylor’s famed “double-set” lashes will climb in popularity after her passing last week.

Lash application at Winks.

Similar to a nail salon but specializing in lashes, Winks is an appointment-only spa where you widen your eyes in the name of a makeup-free face or some seriously amped-up glam.  Lash-artists working in the boutique are trained in-house and specially licensed to perform the treatment. Available as individual lashes, stripes or flares (a burst of length on the outer corners), extensions are made from silk, mink or synthetic materials. After Joris has customized a set based on your lifestyle, like how often you get sweaty at the gym, and face shape, extensions are attached to the tips of your natural lashes with medical-grade adhesive. You get to call the shots on how buxom you want ‘em⎯lengths range from 8mm to a Kardashian-esque 15mm. And here’s the best feature: they’ll stay put for up to 4 weeks if you’re gentle while washing!
Three weeks, a few workouts and plenty of face-washing after my set were applied, my 50 lashes-per-eye are in-tact and the compliments are coming in waves. Though they’re considerably pricier than mascara⎯prices range from $90 to $375⎯the fact that I look well-rested and, truthfully, younger means lash extensions are worth my investment. The fact that my makeup-free eyes afford me an extra 20 minutes in the morning? Well, that’s definitely an added bonus.

FASHIONABLE WITH GOLD FEVER

This season we have not so many colors. Grey tones are offered as a base for our wardrobe, classical black
is also actual, all shade of beige, some red and fuchsia

Some will say discontentedly . “Well, agani these vulgar beauties! When will designers finally enjoy themselves a lot of golden shine?!” But, it seems, we already have to get used to all this shine and stylishness, as materials with golden or silver sputter (golden thread) are among full-value favotites of Haute Couture every season.
This autumn is no exception. This is really a “Golden” autumn .
This season we have not so many colors. Grey tones are offered as a base for our wardrobe, classical black is also actual, all shades of beige, some red and fuchsia.
There’s also another bright trend of autumn-winter season , which provokes us to pay attention to a noble metal in our wardrobe. The matter is that designers finally decided to go back a little on an obtrusive image of a “real lady ”, which is characterized by restraint and elegance.

Today a real luxury in cloth comes back to us little by little -expensive materials,complex and pretentious cutting, incredible trimming, medieval images. Should we be surprised at golden flashes in an actual autumn stylish wardrobe?

As dress climbed the top of a fashionable Olympus at the same time, then it’s quite logically to suppose that, first of all, “golden” spirits will touch this detail of female wardrobe. These can be luxurious Hollywood attires in the forties style from romantic Giambattista Valli with open shoulders, slinky bodices and long magnificent pleated skirts. Unusual shade of goldenrod adds a special mood.

If you are used to spend your leisure in more democratic places, which require more reserved cloth, then you should think about traditional cocktail dresses one palm upper knee and with various silhouettes. As a result, Sophia Kokosalaki offers a light dress of thin jercey with shining thread, resembling our advanced ancient ancestors’ tunics, and Italian duet Dolce & Gabbana smartly transformed a magnificent brocade dress of Napoleon’s age in a sweet party attire with a high-waist line and round bouffant sleeves.
Max Mara offers to combine a straight short dress of smooth golden brocade with a real hit of this season - slinky thin leggings. In general, gold combines with black wonderfully, creating a strict and at the same time luxurious image of a self-confident woman. For example, a slinky polo-neck of black thin jersey looks good with a shining skirt of goldish lame.



We should say, that skirts in this color spectrum is as good this autumn, as dresses. Sophia Kokosalaki offers short-cut tulip skirts of golden taffeta with Leather short-cut black or dark-brown jackets. “Golden” skirts can compete with dresses, as for variety of silhouettes and cuts. For example, in Burberry collection you can see a streamy skirt of several layers of pleated satin wide frills, which is also offered to be combined with leather jackets . Probably, this is not the best variant for a strict business office, however, it will look quite ok in a student lecture hall.



You can find the same use for a quite unexpected trouser suits of a noble old gold color. While classic silhouette, unexpected coloring, resembling a flow of a melted precious metal, creates an effect of a suddenness, holiday and undisguised luxury. This will look elegant with silky  white or black lacy blouses both on a grand business presentation, expensive restaurant and a fashinable opera preem.
But you should also pay attention to another very democratic application of leather with golden sputter, brocade or soft lame. This autumn jackets in the eighties style came back in fashion again. For example, Paco Rabanne collection copies still popular form, and Max Mara models are slightly too much - longish and widish sleeves, big collar, exaggeratedly big plated pockets, wide placket for flypiece.



In general, don’t be afraid to experiment and don’t be shy of risky solutions. However, fashionable soft noble shades of old gold are so good today, thay, anyway, you won’t resist the temptation. And some detail - for example, a belt, handbag, gloves, shoes or boots will definitely appear in your wardrobe.

This teenage fashion silhouette is suitable for almost any figure and perfectly conceals the main problem areas - thighs and buttocks. Pay attention to a charming trapeze coat from Proenza Schouler, which can be bought at Target.

4 CLASSIC FLATS We’re not trying to convince you of relevance of shoes a la men’s style and moreover, we do not pursue a goal of forcing you wearing them. Naturally, you should get used to the idea, but your father’s weekend shoes are not so hopeless, as you thought! During NYFW, famous fashion brands and world-class designers (Wunderkind, Viktor + Rolf, Vena Cava and Sabyasachi) attracted worldwide attention putting on totally asexual flats on leggy models!

5 WAYFARER SUNGLASSES

The truth is that many of us do not remember Tom Cruise’s character in a sensational movie of 1980 «Risky business», but you still should remember Chloe Sevigny in Ray-Ban glasses!

7 BAGS - ENVELOPES
The last few seasons teenage fashion steadily preferred capacious functional bags, sometimes prohibitively large, which could contain half wardrobe, lunch, makeup, and some books. It is just natural that women are tired of heavy things, and fashion made a leap in the opposite direction. So fashion scene offered us a stylish pouch-envelope (previously considered to be an attribute of evening toilet) - light, feminine, elegant - as spring itself!

8. EVENING SHORT

One like them, others hate. Regardless of your addictions to plastic bracelets in particular, they set the tone for teenage fashion (see New York Fashion Week collection). So leading designers and stylists apparently noticed something in them, inaccessible to our understanding … while. In the end, even those fussy plastic pieces can be pretty! It is better wearing several colored bracelets at once - good mood is guaranteed!

GIORGIO ARMANI RANCANG BLAZER UNTUK KATIE HOLMES

Desainer italia , Giorgio Armani menciptakan ikon jackie Kennedy dalam setelan blazer Channel untuk koleksi the kennedy mini  series.



Di tengah kecaman pedas 30 juta jiwa terhadap review Kennedy, empat bagian dari film biografi yang dibintangi Katie Holmes dan Greg Kinnear sebagai Jackie dan Yohanes bakal tetap rilis minggu malam ini di saluran TV Show 'History'.

Meskipun pembawaan Holmes dalam memerankan Jackie Kennedy tak banyak mendapat sambutan hangat, film yang menggambarkan perjalanan Kennedy tersebut akan tetap diputar. Isu tersebut kedengarannya mungkin seperti sampah, namun penampilan busana Holmes dalam acara tersebut dapat mengisi kesenjangan episode The Only Way Is Essex dan episode lainnya.

StyleList.com menemui master wardrobe Christopher Hargadon dan menanyakan perihal tantangan yang dihadapinya dengan melibatkan ikon fesyen terbesar di dunia yakni keterlibatan Giorgio Armani dalam proyek tersebut.

Pada film tersebut, Holmes yang berperan sebagai Jacqueline Kennedy terlihat mengenakan replika busana pink Chanel pada hari pembunuhan John F Kennedy.

"Sungguh lucu mempertanyakan tentang setelan yang dikenakan Holmes. Justru sebenarnya Holmes-lah yang mengajak Giorgio Armani karena Holmes dan Tom Cruise memiliki hubungan dengan Armani sejak sebelumnya. Jadi ketika Holmes mendapatkan proyek tersebut, mereka meminta untuk dibuatkan pakaiannya. Kami diberitahu bahwa mereka membutuhkan 45-50 tampilan busana untuk keseluruhan episode yang syutingnya memakan waktu selama 72 hari. Mereka minta dibuatkan busana untuk keperluan sehari-hari dan gaun saat pelantikan. Sisanya dibuat di workshop kami di Toronto," kata Hargadon seperti dikutip Telegraph.

Dari semua tampilan ikon Jackie yang tampak, setelan Chanel berwarna pink tersebut mungkin yang paling direferensikan. Tentunya Karl Lagerfield, pekerja handal di bidang fesyen, diharapkan bisa menyisihkan waktu untuk membuatkan satu koleksi di sela-sela kesibukan yang dijalani.
