How to Treat Pimples

Summary: Although many people suffer from this condition only during the teenage years, pimples can occur throughout adulthood, depending on your hormonal activity, heredity and hygiene. Some people have more severe cases of pimples than others and might need to see a dermatologist for drastic improvements

Steps

1.Resist the urge to attack when these plugged sebaceous glands pop up. In other words, don't pop your pimples, this can cause infections and even scarring.

2.Keep in mind that a combination of hormonal activity, a buildup of bacteria and the shedding of dead skin cells causes pimples. Do what you can to prevent a breakout by establishing a skin-care routine appropriate for your skin type.

3.Have patience. It could take up to one month for a blemish to disappear completely. The less you poke at it, the better.

4.Buy an antibacterial, oil-free concealer that can blend the redness of the pimple into your own skin color. Green shades tend to offset redness the best. (This might not be an option for those who don't wear makeup.)

5.Try a facial mud mask. This may shrink a pimple.

6.Realize that despite the happy teens in the commercials, "zit zapping" solutions, medications you apply directly to pimples, don't do much more than dry out the top layer of skin covering the pimples. These medications don't provide a long-term cure.

7.If you are going to break the rules by "extracting the blemish," aesthetician-speak for popping your pimple, wash your hands, then lightly squeeze the top of the pimple with a tissue or cotton swab. Clean the area thoroughly when you're done. If nothing happens, leave the pimple alone until it's ready to pop.

8.Apply a benzol peroxide acne medication to the pimple and avoid applying medication to the surrounding area.

How to Trim a Mustache

There are many ways to groom a mustache. Decide how you want yours to look before following these instructions.

Things You'll Need:
* Full-length Mirrors
* Electric Razors And New Blade
* Mustache Combs


Steps

1.Wet your mustache slightly.

2.Use a fine-tooth mustache comb to brush the hair down.

3.Clip the hair on your mustache's outer edges with a pair of thin
scissors. Remember to clip conservatively.

4.Snip across the bottom of the mustache.

5.Trim the body of the mustache to achieve the desired evenness and bushiness, and to clip errant hairs.

6.Touch up the top of the mustache with a razor until you have the desired line. If you have an unusual mustache, such as a pencil-thin or handle-bar mustache, use more or less use of the razor as appropriate. Take care not to shave off the top of the mustache accidentally.

7.Comb again with the mustache comb.


Tips & Warnings * Work carefully. Clipping even a small amount of hair can change the appearance of a mustache greatly.
* A beard trimmer is an excellent tool for reducing the bushiness.
* For fancier styles, use mustache wax to shape or groom.

How to Apply Eye Shadow

How to Apply Eye Shadow



Summary: When it comes to bringing out your facial features, makeup is the most common way to go unless you want to go under the knife. For eye makeup, the eyeshadow is a key factor. Sweep a touch of shadow over your lids to accent eyes. You can define them, add drama and make them stand out in a few quick steps.

Application on Entire Lid

Steps

1.Prime the eyelids by dusting them with a small amount of loose powder.

2.Select a light base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line.

3.Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.

4.Contour the crease of your eyelid with a dark shade, using a smaller eye shadow brush. This color can also work as an eyeliner (see the next section for instructions).

5.Blend shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Don't use your finger, you could wipe off the shadow entirely.

6.Use a cosmetic puff and a little pressed powder to tone down heavy shadow. Shake any excess powder off the puff, then press it gently on your lid.

Eye Shadow to Line the Eyes


Steps

1. Choose a medium or dark shadow color to line your eyes.

2. Use a small, flat, angled brush for the application.

3. Stroke the brush over the eye shadow.

4. Start at the inside edge of your upper lid. Angle the brush so that the longest tip follows the shorter end as the brush moves across your lash line. Bring the brush to the outer corner of the eye.

5. Create a more dramatic line by wetting the brush before stroking it through the shadow. Mist a small amount of water onto the brush, or dab it into a few drops of water and proceed with the line. The shadow may feel wet as you draw your line, but it will dry quickly.

How to Apply Lipstick and Lip Liner

Lipstick adds the final touch to any makeupapplication.Lining the lips creates subtle definition and perfects the shape of the lips.

Steps

1.Consider your lipstick color and finish. You'll do well with colors that match the natural shade of your lips, opting for darker tones that complement your overall coloring. Matte lipsticks offer a muted finish complementary to workday makeup, while satin and gloss finishes offer appealing evening looks.

2.Apply all other makeup before putting on lipstick and lip liner.

3.Begin by dabbing on a very small amount of lip balm or petroleum jelly to give your lips a little moisture.

4.Draw a thin line along the edge of your lips with a lip liner whose color is one shade darker than your lipstick. Start at the center of the upper lip and work outward. Hug the very outer edges to open up thin lips, and line well within the edges to downplay excessively full lips.

5.Apply lipstick from the tube or by using a firm, small lipstick brush. Coat the lips evenly. Payspecial attention to staying within the lips' edges.

6.Blot to remove any excess color and to even out the texture.

7.Remember to touch lips up after a meal, as lipstick easily transfers onto coffee cups, water bottles and soda cans.


Tips & Warnings

*For longer-lasting lip color, shade both lips with lip liner after defining them. As lipstick fades throughout the day, the liner offers a hint of color before you have a chance to reapply.
*Balance heavy eye makeup with a soft lip color. Wear a rich and boldly colored lipstick to complement soft eye makeup.
*Give the illusion of a thicker top lip by lining its outermost edges and foregoing liner on the bottom lip.
*Chill lip liner for easier sharpening.
*Forego lipstick if you have a cold sore. Opt instead for a camphor-based lip balm to aid in healing.
