      Make Up 1940s Face make up was in short supply and news of a fresh stock of well known branded lipsticks at the local chemist meant that the shop sold out within an hour. Munitions workers were encouraged to wear make up as a protective barrier to the grit and chemicals they worked amidst. Women working in dangerous conditions were helped to keep up their morale and Max Factor officials from America visited munitions factories handing out the new pancake make up and lipstick. Ponds cold cream, Vaseline and Vitapointe conditioning cream for hair were the few items usually available. Munitions workers often had skin that turned canary yellow if they handled lots of explosive materials. Hair 1940s There was never enough stock of anything, but women still did their best to look good and their hair was important to them. By day it was kept out of sight in a turban or knitted snood which stopped it getting caught in machinery. Generally hair still had some length as ...

It all began with an idea....... Several years ago a young artist called me frustraited. She recently moved to Los Angeles and quickly realized she had no idea how to promote herself. She felt that her school taught her the art of makeup well, but she still had no clue on how to start her career. Unfortunately, it was something I could relate to myself. I started my career in the mid-ninites on the east coast, and in 2000 I decided I to pack up my apartment and headed west. I left a studio job and decided to take a gamble with Hollywood. It was then I quickly realized I was going to have to start my career all over again and boy was it ever maddening! I went from being the department head for three shows on Discovery to working at a makeup counter in a department store. I didn't have any connections, the portfolio I had was not up to speed with this competitive market, and no one wanted to help me. I just kept thinking, "There has to be an easier way to do this." Ever...

Airbrush technology has been used in Hollywood for decades. Ever since the makeup artists of Ben-Hur in 1959 found themselves with thousands of extras in need of a quick Roman tan, airbrushing has continued to be an efficient solution for on-set needs, providing quick and hygienic tanning, fantasy makeup, temporary tattoos, body art, enhancement to prosthetic makeup and conventional makeup.

Natural Ways to Reduce Swollen Bags Under Your Eyes After Many people suffer from under eye puffiness, bags or dark circles under their eyes. There are many treatments to help you with this problem and like all things that concern your beauty there is a range from natural remedies all the way up to doctor specified treatments. Before What causes your puffy eyes? There are several causes for under eye bags, puffiness, or dark circles. Some of these are: heredity, water retention, toxin build up, a change in weather, hormones, allergic reactions, as well as health issues or complications from medications. Having allergies may cause you to wake with puffy eyes from time to time. Sleeping with your head elevated slightly can sometimes help alleviate this by helping the sinus cavities to drain. Preventing the allergic reaction by avoiding your known allergens will help you to avoid an occurrence of puffy eyes. You may also want to take...

Dark circles under the eyes tends to be a genetic issue and practically unavoidable if dark under eye areas run in your family. But for people whose genetic background doesn’t predispose them to dark circles, the easiest solution may be to get some sleep and drink a lot more water. One of the first signs of fatigue or dehydration is dark circles that appear under the eyes. The under-eye skin is thin, with a membrane that runs between a fatty layer and the outer layer of skin we see. When your body needs water, it shows up around the eyes first. Drinking liquor causes dehydration, as does over consumption of sugar and caffeine. Stress also causes under eye puffiness. Diet can impact your face too, especially if you have food allergies, and sulfites in wine can wreak havoc on the delicate skin around your eyes. So, once again, the answer nobody wants to hear: you might be able to banish undereye circles from within ...

Most women over thirty will at some point wonder how to get rid of under eye circles. There are three ways to attack the problem of dark under-eye circles: prevention, topical application and cosmetic restoration. Holistic prevention, while being the easiest solution for some people is also the least effective for most. Tips to Cover, Hide & Conceal Dark Under Eye Circles with Makeup But home remedies can only do so much. If your dark under eye circles don’t budge even after a long nap and eight glasses of water a day, it’s time to go the cosmetic or make up route. There are lots of options here, some more useful than others. Apply a Good Moisturizer Moisturizers are helpful mainly in that if you have lines around your eyes, the shine from the moisturizer will help lessen them and create a lighter look. Look for moisturizers with natural ingredients such as avocado oil, sesame, Vitamin K and Vitamin E. Moisturizer also works well as a base for under eye makeup like c...

How to Remove Hair on the Jaw, Chin & Upper Lip What causes facial hair in women? The same hormones that cause it in men. Let’s face it: we’re a hairy breed. And in the all too human world of beauty, we value smooth, hairless skin. Our hormones create hair, even in the female of the species, and as women we spend a lot of time fighting Nature to please Fashion. Removing facial hair is an issue for women all over the world: even in ancient times, women used hot honey and tree saps to remove unwanted hair from the jaw line, upper lip, eyebrows and chin. Waxing Unwanted Facial Hair Today, waxing is still a popular hair removal option: it’s relatively inexpensive, more thorough than plucking individual hairs with tweezers and can be done any time. Hot wax kits consist of a “wax” made of sugar or honey, (this is called “sugaring”), beeswax or resin. The easiest way to do waxing at home is to buy a microwavable wax, apply with a wooden spatula, then spread with a strip of cotton muslin...

Have you ever wondered why some colors look better on you than others? There are many things that can go into various colors of makeup or clothing looking good on you. You may look great in the color red but your best friend might look horrible in it! Chances are you’ve heard of skin undertones in the past, but may not fully understand what they are, why they are important or how to figure out what yours is. Skin undertones are based upon the undertone hue of your skin and are broken up into cool and warm shades, with a few people falling into the neutral category. Those with bluish undertones are considered cool toned and those with greenish or yellow undertones are considered warm toned. Why Knowing Your Undertone is Important When you know what your skin’s undertone is, you’ll give yourself a few major fashion and makeup advantages. Knowing your undertone can help you choose to wear appropriate colors of cosmetics and clothing you might not typically choose otherwise...

Have you tried various products for oily skin but nothing seems to do the job? Have you heard about natural oily skin remedies but you’re too skeptical to try them? If you are desperate to find a solution to your oily skin problems, here are some home remedies that actually work. Lemon Why it works : It is rich in Vitamin C that moisturizes, softens, exfoliates and stimulates the skin’s collagen production. Lemon juice is a natural astringent and can be used as a toner for greasy skin. It removes excess oil, dirt and clears acne and helps to fade acne scars at the same time. How to use it: Mix lemon juice with water (or not) and apply on the face using a cotton ball. You can also mix it with Aloe Vera which is the best moisturizer for oily skin. Apply it on the face, leave it on for a few hours then rinse off or leave it overnight. Word of caution : Lemon juice is quite acidic; so, be careful not to let it get to your eyes. You should also apply sunscreen on your face because this ...

#1. Take a Less is More Approach with Eye Makeup When you were young, chances are you wouldn’t dream of leaving the house with throwing on your eye liner, brow liner, eye shadow and mascara. However, as you age there is less of a need for a multitude of products on your eye area. Instead, the main focus should be on keeping the eye area properly nourished to avoid the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Look for products with firming capabilities and use them every day! Always apply eye cream with your ring finger, as it offers the gentlest touch and avoids damaging the sensitive skin under your eye. After applying your firming product, dap a bit of concealer under each eye and blend it in until it’s virtually unnoticed. Apply a light coat of eye shadow, two coats of lengthening mascara and you’ll be ready for any event! #2. Keep Those Lips & Cheeks Rosey for a Youthful, Age Appropriate Look! Younger women often made the vital makeup mistake of putting on too much blush. As...

There has been an ongoing debate as to whether the products marketed as best natural shampoo in the stores are really organic or not. For those who want their shampoo organic and natural are likely to be disappointed as even those shampoos marketed as natural are not without a significant amount of chemicals. You will be compelled to come up with a homemade solution to enjoy a natural product without the synthetic chemicals. The chemicals in some of those commercial shampoos can be incompatible to your skin or even harmful at the extreme. This is one of the biggest disadvantages of commercial shampoos. The fact that homemade shampoo is also easy on the pocket is a real game-changer. Ingredients for best natural shampoo Anti-dandruff: These ingredients include lemon, ginger roots, sesame oil and the Indian shikakai (or acacia pods). The anti-dandruff is an irreplaceable component in any shampoo product. Oils: Oils come in the form of; rosemary, lavender, avocado, geranium, sesame, s...

No, not ALL sew in weaves are bad; the main thing you have to remember when wearing a weave is to TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN HAIR!!! Sew in weaves won’t give you freedom from your own hair, but if anything it kind of gives you more reasons to pay attention to your hair. Sew in, just like any other weave, has its ups and downs. They can protect your hair but if not “installed” correctly it can damage or break your hair. If you’re trying to grow your hair out it’s recommended that you install a “full head” of weave (which means none of the clients hair is left out.). Even though this may make it harder to shampoo the crown of the head, it keeps the hair growing at the same rate and it can be used as a protective style. Extracurricular activities such as working out etc may not affect this style as much. When doing a “partial sew in” the crown of the clients hair is left out, then flat ironed or “hot combed” to blend in with the weave and then used to cover the tracks, this gives the client a ...
