Applying red lipstick can truly be an art and application is particularly crucial. Since red is a strong colour, it will definitely draw people’s attention. Use a lip liner that is close to your natural lip colour. The liner will act as a base to hold your lip colour. After lining your lips, fill your whole lips in. Apply the lipstick with a lip brush for an even application. To help your lips colour last longer, blot it then cover with face power, reapply and blot again.

You can expand your lip line for a fuller lip. Simply line with the lip pencil outside the normal edge of your lips and fill in with the red lip colour. If bright red is not suitable for you skin tone, you may try other shades of red that will work perfectly well.

How to have a flawless skin

2010-05-16T16:46:00.003+08:00

The secret to looking great in any outfit is to have great skin. In today’s environment, our skin is constantly exposed to extreme weather and toxic smoke chemicals which can be damaging and harmful. Having a good skin care routine is important. One of my favourite parts of taking care of my skin is to moisturize.

Moisturizers help to hold moisture in the skin hence keeping the skin plush and supple. Try Little Black Dress, a creamy body butter that includes moisture rich ingredients like jojoba oil and shea butter. Jojoba oil is known to be one of the best oils as it is similar to natural sebum and can penetrate easily to nourish the skin. Shea butter contains vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E are particularly helpful for sun damaged skin and helps to prevent wrinkles. Vitamin F functions as a skin protector and rejuvenator.

Get your moisturizer for a flawless skin now

The advantage of a cream base moisturizer over a liquid base moisturizer is a longer staying power. Little Black Dress is concentrated yet it feels light on the skin. It contains ingredients like black berry, vanilla musk and sandalwood which give it a really fragrant scent.

Apply some of this creamy body butter after a shower while your skin is damp. Tap with your towel instead of rubbing as it will strip you of your skin’s natural oils. Leave it to set as it penetrates deep to moisture your skin. If your skin is well moisturized, it should not feel tight. It should also not feel greasy and oily after and hour of applying your moisturizer.

For better results, scrub once or twice a week. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cell. Dead skin cells are the cause for dull and clogged skin.

Remember to always choose products that are suitable for your skin type. Not one that is too harsh or too mild.

These are some top selling body moisturizers.

If you need some courage before making this decision, meet some brides who have boldly walked this journey on off beat bride. If your parent or husband-to-be is not convince, read of some quotes that you saw on website.

Robert E Strong whose collections have been featured in publications like Style Weddings Magazine, Bride and Bloom Magazine, La Bella Bride Magazine, Ritz Carlton Magazine, Get Married Magazine, Western Mass Women’s Magazine, and Brides Magazine has presented black wedding dresses as one of his featured trend in his new fall 2010 line. His new collection was displayed at New York Bridal Market and has created a buzz. With this new rave in the industry, I am sure black wedding dresses will become more available in stores and also a more popular choice for brides.

Black dresses are not only for the gothic couples but for all who are willing to try and dares to be different. One tip to have a dramatic yet elegant look when dressed in a black gown is to go light on your make up. Avoid dark eye shadows and siren red lips. Try fresh pink neutral eye do with a light lip gloss. Choose your gown with laces, rhinestones and ribbons that can add a feminine touch. Complete your look with elegant accessories like white pearls and tiara.
If you are still unsure, try a white gown with black details instead of a full black dress. Accessorizing with black can be another alternative. Try black pearls, black gloves or black veil.

Most importantly, the choice is yours. After all it is your big day. Confidence and a big white smile is all you need to look stunning while your groom waits for you at the wedding alter.

Tip 1,
It is unsightly to see loose pieces of cloth. Neither is it tasteful to see bulges from bare flesh.
You do not need to go through months of gruelling diet to understand what is a good fit.
Some styles are meant to be baggy, keep it that way. Some are meant to be tight fit, not mini fit.
Go to the nearest tailor if you need to, they can make magic.

Tip 2,
Get inspired by your favourite celebrity and borrow her style.
Pick up the magazines while at the hairdressers. Since it is unethical to tear the page away, use your cell phone to take a photo of what catches your eyes. Well, you can also go online and bookmark the page for your inspiration.

Tip3,
Excellence is in the details girl!
Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!
Wear a huge gold bangle with loop earrings.
Pull up your hair in the loose chignon and tighten it with Lady Gaga’s inspired Big bowtie hairclip.
Stilettos are a head turner, so learn to put them on.
