Eye problems and their natural remedies - Puffiness

This is another common problem. It can be caused by ill-health, in which case an ophthalmologist should be consulted. If the puffiness occurs early in the morning, it may be due to water retention in the tissue. This happens we lie prone at night. For quick relief, a large glass of hot water should be drunk on arising in the morning. This will stimulate the kidneys which tend to draw the fluid away from tissue. It can be made a daily routine if it works.

Another effective remedy for puffiness under the eyes or lids is potato. A raw potato should be grated and a teaspoon each should be put in two square pieces of gauze to make an eye pad. The eye should be covered with these pads and left for 20 minutes. It should be followed with splashes of cold water. Another remedy for puffiness under the eyes is a fresh fig cut in to halves and placed directly under the eyes. This should be applied lying down for 15 minutes. In summer, a grated fresh cucumber can replace the fig. applying hot and then ice cold tea bags alternatively to the eyes for 10 minutes also help.

Golden rules of make up part3

Eye liner
To make small deep at eyes to look bigger and brighter use a white eye liner on the lower, inner lash line. This also brightens to tired eyes. Avoid using black/dark liners on the inner lash line instead use it only on the upper lid.Play around with grey or brown eye pencils instead of back to create a softer more natural look.

Lip Stick
For a natural look apply lipstick and smudge. Fow a more defined look line your lips and fill in colour Never use black or dark brown contrasting lip liners. Use a lighter pearly colour lip tick or eye shadow on the inner centre of the lower lip to create a sexy pout.

Correcting face shapes

Round faces-suck in your cheek bones and apply a deep terracotta coloured blusher in the hollows to create a slimmer face. Use this also on the sides of the temple and jaw line.

Square faces- Soften the edges of the face with a terracotta blusher (jaw line and sides forehead) to create a more oval shape.

Gently dust off the powder along with the spills after you have finished . Tit your head back and look down your nose and identify the crease on your lids and fill it ou with a deep colour (you can't go wrong with brown) Apply a light pearly colour under the brow bone to create lift and glamour.

Golden rules of make up part 1

None of us are born perfect and some times even the skin care has its limitations. So thank god for make up! Make up is an amazing tool that if used in the correct fashion can help us to enhance our natural features and cover up any flaws. Let's look at some of the tricks of the trade.

Foundation

The most important step is choosing the right colour that is as close to your natural skin tone as possible. As Sri Lankans many of us have a yellow based skin tone so stay away from pinky bases. When choosing colour apply a dab on the bridge of your nose and check the colour under natural light. Many ladies make the mistake of choosing foundations that are too pale for their complaxions and end up looking artificial and grey.

When applying foundations start from the centre of the face and work out words. For a perfect finish don't neglect the ears and neck.

When batting with under eye dark circles you may use your foundation instead of a concealer by patting is a thicker layer under eyes with the tips of your fingers.

Tricks to achieve a perfect mouth and tempting lips.

Condition your mouth

First, you must condition your mouth by using a simple exfoliation cream recommended to use on your mouth. At home you could ground almond mixed with a bit of honey and rub on the lips, taking special care of the corners of the mouth. Do not leave it for too long, but after washing off you could apply a nourishing waseline cream or lip balm.

Lipstick

The lipsticks and pencils we find in today's market provides you not merely the colour but nourishment and sometimes protection from the sun too. There are also some others that are long-stay lipsticks which you could keep on for quite sometime. Use a brush to apply teh lipsticks as it lasts longer.

Choosing your perfume

Most of us spend hours on selecting the best perfume/scent that would bring out the best in us. We thought of sharing a few tipa that would help you next time you go "hunting for your scent/perfume."

* It is that evening in the best time to go hunting for your chice perfume as this is the time your sense of smell is sharper.

* You must choose a scent or perfume that complements your body odour, as you know each person has a very different odour or body oils within.

* It is best that you go slone to buy the perfume of your chice as when you shop with friends you may just end uo buying a perfume that the friend may want instead of you.

* Remember skin oils change from person to person, so it you like the smell of a perfume worn by your friwnd, do not get carried away thinking that the same smell will suit you, instead find out which smell suits you better.

* You must remember to try on either three or four perfumes at a time (nothing more) as anything more will just make your nose numb thereby putting you is a position where you will not be able to mae your choice.

* In most stores you get blotters to test the perfumes, therefore test the different scents on thee blotters, before you test on your skin.

* From the three or four perfumes that you sprayed on the blotters, you can select two of your choice.

* Now, you can test these two on your skin, most recommended place to apply is the wrist, but remember to keep on for a few minutes before you make your final decision.
