‘Make up and skin care’ is generally regarded as women’s forte. Men seldom indulge in ‘Make up and skin care’. Many men do care for their skin but make up is really alien to most men. Treating make up and skin care as different topics wouldn’t make sense; after all, make up will work only if the skin is healthy. So how do you exercise make up and skin care, together? Here are some tips for make up and skin care:
* Always have skin care on mind, whether you are buying products for make up or actually applying them onto your skin after you have bought them. So what you are buying is a ‘make up and skin care’ product, not just a make up product. Check the ingredients to see if it contains things that you might be allergic to. Also check if it contains high concentration chemicals that can harm your skin.
* ‘Make up and skin care’ is also about testing the products before using them. So, apply the make up on a small patch of skin e.g. earlobes and check how your skin reacts to it.
* Keep track of expiry date on your make up products and never use them beyond the expiry date. In fact some products (e.g. vitamin C based products), if not stored properly, get spoilt much earlier than the expiry date.
* Cleanliness is an important part of make up and skin care procedure. Sharpen your eye-liners regularly and keep all your makeup equipment clean at all times. You might fix a date, each month, for overhauling of your equipment. As part of cleanliness, your make up and skin care procedure should also include keeping your hair clean at all times.
* Nail care is another important aspect of make up and skin care. Use a good quality nail polish and always keep your nails clean. Once you are done with cleaning and polishing your nails, you should rub in cuticle oil at the edges of the nail.
* If you have deep-set eyes, you should use a liquid eye liner instead of a pencil one. This will prevent smudging at the deep edges of your eye-lid.
* If you have a skin disorder e.g. acne, you should not apply heavy or chemical based make up. Consult your dermatologist if you are not sure about the make up products that you can use while you have acne or other skin disorder. Never try to squeeze pimples/ acne. Remember that make up and skin care should not conflict each other.
* Use a mild make up remover (instead of just washing it away).
* Another important ‘make up and skin care’ procedure is the following golden rule: “Never sleep with your make up on”
* While applying a deodorant, make sure that you maintain the recommended distance between the nozzle and your skin (as mentioned on the deodorant pack).
So, make up and skin care should always go hand in hand. Do not try to treat make up and skin care differently.

Make Up
Many women use make up everyday. Most will use make up during special occasions? If you are completely covering your face in make up or simply wearing some lipstick and eyeliner, it is important to use products that are safe for your skin. You should know that there are major cosmetic companies that make products made with chemicals that are harmful to your face. Learning how you can take out the dangerous products and use only good ones is important for your health.
You may wander way companies would use something dangerous in their products. It is simple, businesses have one goal and that is to make money. Cosmetic ingredients that are not safe are usually cheaper than the alternative make up that is being produced. Harmful ingredients are going to create a better-looking product in some cases. They do not tell you that after using the beautiful colors of eye shadow, your face may break out!
There are however, many companies realize that their customers are becoming smarter and want to know about their products before they use them. Our facial skin is very sensitive and it is very important to use the best products that you can. If you are looking for inexpensive or high end products, there are cosmetics, moisturizers, toners, and many other items that are going to be available out there for you so that you are not risking harmful consequences.
Some of the common dangerous ingredients to look out for when purchasing these items for your face are Methyl, Propyl, Butyl, and Ethyl. These are very well known toxins and can cause allergic reaction in many people. These chemicals are extremely cheap and are often used to kill bacterial growth in your products. Many companies are using them.
You should also be careful of Propylene Glycol and DMDM Hydrantion. These products are used in anti-freeze! Many of these products have been linked to abnormal kidney and liver function and can actually cause permanent damage to your organs.
You need to be very careful of what you put on your lips too. Most of the synthetic colors like C Yellow 6 can be dangerous to your skin and your body and when you put this chemical on your lips, you are eating poison to say the least. One time may not affect you, but after wearing the lipstick for a long period of time, you can start to feel the results. It is like smoking cigarettes on a regular basis.
So that you are safe, you should ask your dermatologist or doctor to recommend about what kinds of products to use. You need to be sure that your products are safe so that you can be safe and healthy. The healthier your skin is the younger you will look and you will be happier too.

Makeup Trend 2007
*This year it’s all about super-glossy skin and not too ‘’done’’ makeup. There is a darkness to this season’s fashion and beauty, from blood-red lips to distressed black eyeliner makeup.
BLUSH
The blush is essential for this year makeup. It will complement both your skin tone and the foundation type. Applying blush in natural tones is the easiest way to get a healthy and beautiful look makeup. Apply a light layer of blush to the apples of the cheeks and blend up back toward the hair line. Don’t apply too much blush otherwise it will look like a mask on your face.
LASHES
The volume lashes have always been fashionable and that’s the way it is and this season. The first thing you should do in order to achieve extreme volume is to curl the makeup lashes. Sweep the mascara, starting as close to the root of the lash as possible to create a dramatically full and even effect. Use combs to get rid of clumps and separate lashes. It’s best to use waterproof mascara, it will stay longer and won’t fade.
GLOSSY LIPS
Choose a lip gloss makeup in a shade that harmonizes nicely with the other colors. Concentrate the color on the centre of the lips to give the impression that you are very slightly flushed. Apply a high-shine lip-gloss with light-reflecting shimmer.
EYE LINER
Apply eye liner makeup in a tone that complements the shadows you will be using. Pastels work on all eye colors, giving blues and greens a fairytale feeling and darker irises quirkiness. Remember to choose kohl that melts onto the skin. Smear the kohl along the upper lash line, as well as the lower lashes, blurring it further with a sponge applicator. Always curl your top lashes before applying the eyeliner on the lower lash line, or it will smudge.
NATURAL EYESHADOWS
Choose natural eyeshadows makeup in a light, shimmering shade that makes your eyes more sparkle. Apply the eyeshadows all over your eyes, beginning at the lashline and working up just above the crease. Remember the light shades bring out the eyes and the darker shades give dimension to the eyes. The most fashionable color this year is the blue. Combined with eyeshadows of pink shade it will make you look like a doll. Mixing and matching neutral shades found in compacts is the key to achieve the best look.
EYEBROWS
Natural eyebrows makeupThin eyebrows are out moded. The natural eyebrows that is medium to thick and that requires minimal hair removal will look best for this season. The natural shape of the brows is the perfect for you. Don’t change the shape of the eyebrows, unless you really have to.
