5 Makeup Mistakes That Are Making You Look Older

MISTAKE # 1: Wearing foundation that does not match your skin color. Many women end up looking they have a floating head or they are wearing a mask because their foundation does not match their face and neck. When you go too light it makes your skin appear flat and lifeless. Instead of natural, it will look like the makeup is just sitting on your skin, which can add years to your face. But if you go too dark, you are not highlighting your features, but dragging them down and adding a dullness and heaviness that is just as aging.

Want To Get Rid Of Acne? Read How Rapper Eva Alordiah Won 6-Year Battle

 

 Eva Alordiah

Acne is one of the popular skin troubles that many people are desperate to be rid of, especially as it mostly affects the face which makes it very obvious. To help combat this, Nigerian rapper Eva Alordiah who many regard as one of the prettiest around while writing for myskinmakeuphair.com has shared the story of how she won a 6 year battle with the skin disease. Read her story below.

Who would have thought! Now I get the “Oh you are so fine” “Chai, God took his time to make you sha” “You are the girl I have been searching for” – Na so. Thank you gbogboyin! LOL. 

It would be really a waste of an experience for me to have gone through battling Acne and bad skin, finally getting through it and not be able to share it with you – Whoever you are, dealing with your acne issues one new product off the shelf at a time. I just want you to know, I have been there, done that, Look at me now! I may be clueless as to how severe your Acne is or isn’t, but as you can see from my progress photos, I battled with really severe acne. Goodness me, I literally could not step out of my house! I was home bound for weeks on end, forming “I’m an introvert, I don’t go out much”, when deep down inside I was in so much pain and stress, which obviously helped a few more zits pop out of every free corner of my face. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get it off my face.”

“Sorry for the not-so-clear before photos. We never get money buy Iphone that year hehehe. Bottle after bottle of toners and astringents, pills, dark bitter concoctions, soaps, creams of varying names and packet design, not to mention an ailing bank account that was deteriorating rapidly from my weekly experimental expenditures on the next big thing promising to clear my face. I bought every soap, every cream, every toner, the big brands, the small brands, the DIY Home made recipes, Chemical peels, the ‘bury your head in a bowl of hot water, wrap a towel around your head and cook your face’ therapy, ‘First urine of the day as a toner’ therapy, Facials and Facials and even more facials, all to no avail. It even seemed at some point that my face would get better and then all of a sudden get even worse again. Plus It almost seems like every one you know suddenly becomes a skincare specialist when you have acne. You get the “Ha, oma se ooooh! Who do you this kine strong tin na?” “Why don’t you try this and that product” “You should drink your urine, it would cleanse the toxins from your system” “Use the first instance of your next period as a toner, it has nutrients that will clear it.” I kid you not, i got all of these and more.  If you haven’t gotten these kinds of attention before, then E be like your face never jam better pimples.  LOL. And in all this time of worrying about myself and locking myself indoors, what did i do about my Acne? That question should be more like “What didn’t I do?” Ok now lets get real. The bigger question now would probably be “How did I do it? How did i get my skin so clear of Acne?” Truth is you might even be asking these questions now, without asking How long it took. That’s what happens with Acne, or any skin issue for that matter. We want it off now now. Unfortunately, the bad news is, It is not going to just up and leave your face like a visitor who came for lunch. As a matter of fact the more you worry about it, and disturb your face on and on about it, the more it lingers. So the first tip I am going to give you,’
1. Worry Less As much as you are going to care for your skin with hopes of getting better, you also need not worry about it so much. I didn’t notice any huge improvement on my face until I began to let it be.
2. Ditch the Astringents and Alcohol. Use an organic toner. This worked for me amazingly. As soon as I stopped the constant swirling of an alcohol infused cotton ball around my Acne eroded skin, I noticed a dramatic improvement with my skin. I haven’t bought or used Acne clearing astringents in the past 3 years and I am the happier for it. Pure rose water should do you just fine. What I use: A mix of Vitamin C serum in my Rose water. Vitamin C serum helps renew dead surface cells and fades dark spots left by Acne
Our skin has the unique ability to renew itself over time, replacing dead skin cells of the surface/epidermis. This is totally dependent on the activity of the epidermal stem cells. And you have the power to increase the efficiency of this process or cause a major decline, depending on what you apply topically and what you feed your body. Which brings me to food!
3. Change your diet. Or improve it. Instead of investing your hard earned money on drugs and skin care products over and over, how about adding fruits and vegetables to your diet.  The good news is that the foods that happen to be good for your skin are also good for your overall health. What I noticed was a huge change in the feel of my skin one particular week when I decided to increase my intake of Oranges and Citrus fruits. My skin felt smoother and seemed to glow, which was weird for me as i always had to wear foundation to get that before. Vitamin E is also very vital for the overall health of your skin and since the human body cannot produce Vitamin E naturally it should essentially be consumed from external sources. What you need: A diet rich in Antioxidants, this means More Vitamins, A, C and E and Omega -3:  oranges, grapefruit, papayas, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, strawberries, kiwis, red and green peppers, tomatoes, vegetables, broccoli, mangoes, oranges, Brussels sprouts, Nuts, fish oil.

4. Water. Water should become your best friend if it isn’t already. 8 glasses of water a day. I beg you to try this strictly for 1 week and see what difference you experience on your skin. It would help to flush toxins out and even do your kidneys and liver a favor. And when those babies are working smoothly, guess what happens on the surface? Your skin would literally smile! That’s when you notice a glow that you didn’t think was there before. What I do: 1 glass + 2 limes or 1 lemon first thing in the morning and last thing before I go to bed. In between 6 other glasses of water. 5. Enough with the Scrubbing!! Scrub your face morning, scrub again at night, wake up tomorrow and do it all over again like say I nor get work. Seriously, Stop. You are doing more harm than good by scrubbing and scrubbing ever so often. Your face needs time to heal, it needs time to renew itself. The more you scrub the more your pores stay open, increasing your risk of sunburns and more zits developing into spots held tightly together creating little communities and townships on your skin. I recommend a light touch exfoliation once a week and see how you can improve from there to twice a week. What I do: I use Honey + Sugar or Sheabutter + Sugar for exfoliating my ski
6. Cleansing. You should always cleanse or wash your facial skin with a soft touch. All that gra-gra washing doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to rinse off and have the acne falling to the floor. You are doing more harm than good to your skin. What i use: The good ol’ African black soap never seems to tire me.
Whether you get your soap from Lagos or Ghana, if it is traditionally made, it becomes my best friend. I do a mix of Black soap, Honey and Lemon till it becomes a sort of washing liquid. No water. Your honey and Lemons would be just enough to liquify the soap. I love this stuff!
7. Sunscreen Acne makes your skin even more susceptible to sun burns which it why it seems the spots get darker and darker no matter how hard you try. You should be wearing sun screen on a daily basis to prevent more damage. Choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 and higher. 8. Less Makeup This is a no brainer really.
You want to minimize your use of makeup as much as you can till your skin is in a better condition. Makeup clogs your pores and make it even difficult for your skin to breathe, let alone smile. Plus we both know you would be needing a hell lot of product to cover those zits up. So please bare for a while, do without it when you can. Your skin smiling days are only weeks ahead trust me. And if you do wear makeup, ensure to take it all off before going to bed.


9. It gets better with time! This is so true, well depending on how early you stop worrying so much about your skin. I used to have 4 big zits appear on my forehead and chin as soon as the monthly came knocking. In fact, I stopped checking my calendar and started telling it was time just by the acne popping out.
Now, I don’t even get them anymore. Not one pimple! My Mom says my body grew out of it, and my hormones balanced out with age and i would like to believe that. However depending on genetics and other hormonal factors this would likely vary from person to person.
10. Believe As queer as this sounds, it is probably the best tip I would be giving you. Just believing that your skin would clear up in no time is enough to calm your nerves, have the good vibes flowing, have your heart pumping nicely and reducing stress, and in all reflecting improvement on the surface. So be calm, sincerely believe that your skin is going to get better and begin to imagine all the beautiful pictures you’d soon be showing off of your Acne-less skin.

There you have it guys! I do hope this has helped you in some way. My skin isn’t perfect yet, a couple of fading spots here and there but I can sha waka without Makeup now and not worry about people looking at me funny.  LOL.

Beauty Tips: How To Become A Professional Makeup Artist

 
You will be surprised at the amount of people who want to become a makeup artist, but are too afraid to take the big step to becoming one.
Since we always have your back at OnoBello.com, we have are giving you answers to a few questions that you might have been pondering over.
How to Become a Makeup artist, do I need to go to a make-up school?
Going to a school is a huge investment and not everyone is able to make the commitment because of different personal reasons. There are many talented artists who have never gone to makeup school, but it is a good idea to at least have a foundation in basic art. Try reading art books, makeup books, and definitely watch makeup videos.
Should I have a portfolio?
A portfolio shows that you're interested and makeup is something you love. If you can't hire professional models or a photographer, ask your friends to model for you and take the pictures yourself. Just remember, you want to have a good camera and lighting. Future employers need to see what you're capable of doing, and they need to see a variety of quality photos. Make sure every single photo isn't a natural look. A versatile artist appeals to more customers and managers tend to look for these skills.
What kind of experience should I have?
Coming with some sort of makeup is ideal, but don't be afraid to apply for a position if you don't think you have enough experience. It is important to at least know how to do someone else's makeup before stepping onto a makeup floor. Doing your own makeup is completely different from doing makeup on someone else. The best thing you can do is practice. Ask a family member or a friend if you can put some makeup on him or her. Another idea would be to team up with schools or community theaters. They usually look for makeup artists for various fashion shows, events, plays, or concerts. To build references, offer to do a job for a letter of recommendation instead of money.
How should I do my makeup for my interview?
Makeup for an artist interview is a little different than what you'd wear to a regular interview. It should reflect not only your own personal style, but also the brand's. Most brands have a type of look or demographic they target. Know about the brand you're applying to. The makeup you'd wear to an interview with BankeMeshidaLawal Pro (BMPRO) is not the same as what you'd wear to an interview with House of Tara. It's your job to research the brand and understand their aesthetic style.
What's the biggest piece of advice?
It may sound silly and obvious, but be as friendly and engaging as possible. Clients do not want to work with someone who looks disinterested, unfriendly, or even too shy. You want to come across as approachable and helpful. You can also make yourself stand out by talking about something unique you do, like making beauty videos or writing product reviews.

We hope the above tips has geared you into going into your dream of becoming a professional make up artist.

Adam Levine named as the s*xiest man alive by People Magazine

People Magazine has declared Adam Levine the S*xiest Man Alive. The singer was informed over the phone, but said he was shocked and it sounded unbelievable. "I don't believe you, it would be a lot of things. It's an interesting idea. I don't know" he said. Adam Levine is the lead singer of Maroon 5 and a coach on NBC's series The Voice.

CHECK-OUT World's Most Expensive Hairstyle For about N80Billion.!

Laurence Graff has spared no expense in celebrating his 60th anniversary as a diamond jeweler.
Recreating his iconic Hair and Jewel image from the Seventies -- which featured a model wearing an ornate coiffure decorated with $1million of diamonds and precious gems -- this time, the 75-year-old used $500 million worth of precious jewels.

Model Dalia Gunther had her chignon outfitted with 22 rare jewels created at Graff's headquarters in London, inlcuding a 52.73-carat vivid yellow emerald cut diamond ring.

The new hairdo also holds the Graff Diamonds Sweethearts earrings, featuring 51.53-carat and 50.76-carat heart shape diamonds; a 10.47-carat vivid blue internally flawless briolette diamond pendant; a 6.51-carat intense pink internally flawless oval cut diamond ring; and a selection of jewelry crafted from the 550-carat Letšeng Star, the 14th largest white rough diamond ever discovered.

The original image, the idea of which originated from Mr Graff's travels around the world carrying a suitcase of Graff diamond jewelry, received international attention and became a landmark promotion for Graff Diamonds, founded in 1960.

'I recognized the importance of establishing the Graff Diamonds brand globally,' he said at the time. 'Until this time, images showing fine jewelry were typically modeled in a more conservative style. This image broke the mold by using a younger model and created the idea of diamonds being aspirational to younger women.

'Hair & Jewel created an interest and excitement for the jewelry crafted by Graff, which continues to this day.'

Continuing to push the luxury envelop, Graff also unveiled a $100million Peacock Brooch, featuring a collection of colored diamonds totally 120.81 carats with a 20.02-carat blue pear shape diamond centerpiece.
He was also awarded a Most Excellent Order of the british Empire for Services in jewelry, one of the highest honors awarded by the British monarchy.
