Perfect eyebrows: I want to have them!

Hello my dear readers!
I`m really glad to make another post here.
And today we are going to talk about the perfect shaping of your eyebrows :)
Let`s begin!

First of all, I should say that I myself have a really thin and even eyebrows that is really hard to shape. But I`m going to share with you some tricks to make even such straight eyebrows like mine a little bit arched.
So...

Step 1.
Firstly, you should measure the nessesary proportions of your eyebrows. It is very easy, be sure! Just take your pencil or the brush or anything and measure everything according to this picture:

1-your eyebrow should start at the line where your nostrils are. I mean, just take your brush, pencil or anything, put it straight to your nostrils and make a mark where your eyebrow should begin.

2-the arch of your eyebrow should be placed on the line from the nostrils and the iris of the eye. 

3-the end of the eyebrow should be on the line from your nosdrils to the outer corner of your eye.

So, here we have a perfect proportion.

Step 2.

Now we should clean the area around the eyebrows. If you have a special eyebrow raiser, clean the area above and under your eyebrow. Plug loose hair.

And here is an interesting thing. You can plug your hair using a special tongs or using a thread. And if you want to learn more about this technique, you can watch this video down below:

Step 3.

Now comb your eyebrows (I use an old mascara brush). Comb them upwards to see how long are they. If they go further your natural shape , then you have to cut them.  Here are the pictures:

Step 4.

Now is the high time to fill in our eyebrows. The easiest thing here is to beging from the center of the eyebrows and then go right and left. It will decrease your chances to overshade your eyebrows. Use an eyepencil or eyebrowpencil or eyeshadows, but remember this colour should be several shades lighter than the eyebrow natural colour. If you use the eyepencil, try to fill it in with short strokes, it will make your eyebrows look quite natural. 

Don`t forgen to stick to the proportions! Create an arch using the pencil!

If you`ve made a mistake, use your foundation or concealer to hide everything.

Step 5.

And you are done! Just dont forget to follow the nessessary proportion of your eyebrow and everything is going to be ok! 

And if you want to fix the shape, use a special gel for the eyebrows, or even a wax.  

P.S. If you want to create an absolutely new shape of the eyebrow, then...Of course I know it is too extreme, but you can shave your eyebrow and draw a new one. But it is too risky. 

But here is one good video:

And that`s it! Have a nice day!

Modern pin-up models: What has changed?

Hello everyone!today I wanted to show you some pictures of modern-pin up girls and do discuss what has changed since 50-60`s. It is really interesting to know how the retro style has developed and how is it interpreted nowadays!
Let`s Begin!

 

First of all, the most interesting feature of modern pin-up models is that they are all tattooed. They have sleeves, the whole back and legs tattooed, and it is quite surprising how different tattoes can be combined with the classic pin-up style. It looks different, but facinating.

 

 

The next point is the pircing. Pin-up girls now have a lot of piercings, septums, madonna`s and monroe`s, and sometimes it looks great.

Then the hair. Now a lot of girls dye and bleach them and use the most incredilbe colours. Red is the most popular among them, but you can also see pink, lilac, blue etc. A few models use  thir natural haircolour.

 

 

 

Makeup became much brighter and heavier. Fake eyelashes are videly spread.

Dresses are different too. A lot of girls wear corsets, they are extremely popular. And really high highheels.

Summing up, we can say that the modern pin-up girl is more radical, I mean that her look became much more grotesque and more sexy. What do you think?

Want to have a perfect skin like a pin-up model has? Firstly, get rid of the blackheads!

Hello dear people! Today I want to discuss with you a very urgent topic, so urgent for anybody, that there is even no heed to explain. Blackheads. What do you think about them? I just really hate them, just because sometimes they can inflame! 

And besides, do you remember the skin of the pin-up model? It`s flawless. And we want the same. That is why today I`m going to discuss some important issues with you on how to get rid of the blackheads and how to get a perfect skin like this:

The main thing here is your patience! Lets begin!

1) If you think that the main cause why they are black is dirt, you are wrong. It is an oxydasation that is happening. That is why DO NOT scrub your face. It is useles if you want to remove blackheads. Why? Because it touches only the surface of your skin, but the blackheads are much deeper!

2) and you also do not need to disinfect the skin with blackheads! Because bacteria are not the issue here - instead focus on exfoliating the skin and more importantly the pore.

That is why, in order to get rid of the blackheads, you should use something that will go inside the pores and clean everything out. 

First of all, use something containing Beta hydroxy acid (BHA) (or sometimes it is called salicylic acid) , it will help to push the plug out. 

There are a lot of products containing this acid, just look for it.

But (!) there is a problem with such type of products and that is that they are pH dependent: it meant that if the pH level gets too high, they basically stop working at all. That is why you need to know such products, that are not pH dependent (they exist)

Here is a list of BHA products that have the correct pH level to actively work on the problem.

For people with very sensitive skin it would be better to use products from Clinique that contain 0.5% BHA at a pH of 4.5 (ish) ... These will be gentler on the skin than the other options which have lower pH levels and higher 1-2% BHA. 

Clinqiue Turn Around Concentrate

Clinique Mild Scruffing Lotion (no alcohol)

Use a gentle cleanser that doesn't strip the skin and UNLESS you have dry or combination skin you don't need to moisturise. And here are the possible products:

Proactive Solution - Clarifying Night Cream

Neutrogena - oil-free acne stress control hydrating acne treatment

BUT all skins require sunscreen and these are normally moisturising enough.

But there is another matter, it is called Retin-a. It  is a product you should look into as it can regulate how the skin produces new skin cells - making them healthier, smoother and less likely to breakout.

Not everyone can tolerate Retin-a (it has a lot of side effects!!) but it's worth trying.

All skins require sunscreen especially when using BHA and/or Retin-a.

Be kind to your skin and it will respond you!

Good luck!

How to make a shiny face like a pin-up girl has? Here is the tip!

Hello everyone! Today I`m going to show you the secret on how to create a really healthy, shiny look like a pin-up girl has.  

As you can see, her skin is glowing, and to get such a result, you will need just 3 foundations of different colours: the same colour as your skin, one that is much lighter, one that is much darker. And now, here is the secret:

Firstly, you should apply the lighter foundation on the zone under your eyes, a little bit higher on your cheekbones, on your chin and a litthe bit highter your jaw line + don`t forget about the area near your nostrils Here is the scheme:

Then, apply the darker foundation on the area of your cheekbone (you can also add here a bit blush), on your  tempels, on the jaw line, a little bit on the forehead and jy your nose. How to correct your nose shape using darker colour, you can find here, on my blog: http://oh-my-god-its-pin-up.blogspot.ru/2013/05/wrong-shape-of-nose-pin-up-girls-know.html. Here is the scheme:

Looks ugly, I know. But now we will change everything! Just take the foundation that matches your natural skin colour, take a big brush (kabuki, for example) and put some foundation on the brush. Then begin to blend everything together. Just blend, mixing 3 tones together. But don`t be to harsh and strong: you want to save the contours that you`ve created. Here is the result:

Now your face is glowing! It`s healthy and shiny, and that is the result that we were going to achieve. Your face should have an additional dimention, and this type of contouring and highlighting is absolutely perfect for such purposes. 

Hope you liked it! If you have any questions, comments, do not hesitate to ask!

Good luck!
