Archive for 'Make-Up'

Do men really wear makeup? It seems like some guys really do apply make up since the “Guyliner” and “Natural Lashes for Men product” are out in stock. The fake lashes are basically the same as the ones they make for women, but just a little more natural looking and with a virtually clear strip along the base, so there’s no tell-tale false lashline.

Instead of buying women’s cosmetic make-up, there’s an eye-liner especially made for guys. Which they named it “Guyliner.” I guess it makes the guys feel better for purchasing a MEN product, instead of a women huh?!  So, what do you think of these new cosmetic products for the men?  Guys, if you are reading this, would you really wear fake lashes and eyeliners? And, ladies what would you think if your man was wearing the same make up as you?

While enjoying a cup of coffee at a nice, cozy coffee shop, two girls sat behind me gossiping about their lives, boys, and most importantly how their new eyelids and nose has made them more attractive and confident. As I was listening to the two 18 years-old girl commenting on each other’s new look got me interested in this topic, “plastic surgery.” Eyelid jobs and nose job is probably one of the most common surgical procedures, and plastic surgery is growing in popularity each year! Not only women are having cosmetic surgery, men are also participating in it too! (Click Here To Read More…)

A lot of girls wish they had thick, full, sexy lips. You know, the ones like Angelina Jolies? Her lips are probably one of her greatest features and most recognizable trait that we all envy the most. Also, most men thinks that girls who has fuller and thicker lips are more attractive. Today, many models on ads has some what a similar lips like Jolie, or even better (maybe). Here’s a photo by Toni P. Farley. Check out the rainbow sprinkles on her lips! It is so creative, and imaginative that makes her so stunning. The makeup, and the lighting is perfect, it makes her looks really good for this successful advertisement.

Women every where are apparently lashing out! Eyelash extensions are the latest and greatest trend today to improve your looks. Women will do whatever it takes to have their eyelashes standout. Mascara is one way to extend your eye lash, however many women are tired of applying it everyday. The latest trend today is the eyelash extension of which will last some a couple weeks, or months! I’ve done it before, and really enjoyed my long lashes (since most Asian has really thin lashes). The procedure to attach the extensions is painless and can be done in just a few hours.

Now, lets here what the men has to say about women with fake eyelash extension

1. What do you think of women in fake lashes?

What is wrong with you?

- Rich, USA

I don’t like extension eyelashes, they make someone more fake. They say eye say a lot about a person and just by puttin fake lashes, just says the girl’s probably fake, materialistic, and stuck up!

- Tom, Taiwan

hmmm….I think it’s kind of hot!

- Jerry, USA

One time my girlfriend had it done, and part of her fake lashes were falling off. Some parts were long, and some parts were short. It’s a waste of money, and time. Natural beauty is the best

-Ray, Taiwan

I think its dumb and stupid.

- Chris, Canada

I don’t really care. Looks the same to me.

-Jason, Taiwan

Here’s a video process of what eyelash extensions look like:

I was just browsing on some fashion in Italy for their fashion week, and I thought most of the designers dress are just not something I’d buy. I mean, its over priced, doesn’t look comfortable, and bizarre looking! Maybe I will consider it for Halloween or a special dress up party, but definitely won’t wear in on a normal day. Here are some photos from the 2008 Italy,Milan fashion week:

This photo below, she looks like a panda wearing a fairy costume. I give it a thumbs down. What about you?

 This one here, looks like something growing out from her dress. Would you really wear this out on a normal day? What’s the purpose of the spike coming out of her dress?

 This orange funny look dress for Halloween too?Yeah, I am sure the color matches Halloween perfectly.

I don’t understand why all fashion shows has to be so complicated, and crazy looking clothing that most people wouldn’t wear in public. I guess fashion shows are competition to see who can make the most bizarre looking clothes. Whats your opinion on the run way designers? Do you think they’re wasting too much time and effort in designing fashion clothing that most people will not purchase? and most of us will not wear?

Ever wonder how to apply make like in the movies of “Memoirs of a Geisha?” No, Geisha are not prostitutes! But “Geisha” is a female, professional Japanese entertainer and hostess. It is believed that Geisha started wearing white face makeup to establish themselves in society. Just like here in Taiwan, a white face is a sign of nobility and wealth. Some historians believe that Geisha started wearing white because the beautiful women in the west had white faces.

Well, learning to apply a Makeup like Geisha isn’t too difficult, but it does take practice. Just like how it works with anything, practice makes perfect. Let me take you through these steps:

• Before applying anything on your face, you need to clean and dry your face and apply face moisturizer.( moisturizer helps protect skin from makeup and prevent from being dry.)
• Apply a white foundation or a cakey white face paint to your face. (You don’t want the makeup to be too thick or too stark. Remember, you’re trying to be a geisha, not a clown!)
• Use an ivory foundation and then covering it with a white powder. (This should help moderate the color.)
• Draw new, thin, dark eyebrows above your existing eyebrows.
• Wait for foundation to dry,then put red blush on your cheeks. You want your checks to look full. To achieve this look, apply the blush to the round part of your check rather than lightly brushing it over your check bones.
• Eyes: outlining your entire eye with a thick eyeliner.
• Apply a dark eye shadow from your eye up to your eyebrow line.
• Put at least three coats of mascara on your eyelashes!
• Apply a dark red lipstick to your lips and viola.

Here is a video of a Japanese girl applying make up of a Geisha, Check it out:

Many women avoid trying a red lip because they feel it can look too brash, but this depends on the way you apply it. I personally think girls who wear red lipstick are sexy. Who do you think look best in their red hot lips? Mischa Barton or Rebecca Romijn? You decide!

Tips: A matte red can make you look too done-up, so go for a glossier red instead. Line and fill in your lips with a lip liner that closely matches your natural lip color. Apply lipstick, blot with a tissue and lightly dust your lips with powder to give it extra-staying power. Since red lips are dramatic, you should keep the rest of your face bare or else you’ll look like you belong in the circus or something!

Oh just a reminder: if your teeth are yellow, wearing red shade with blue undertones will help make your pearly white looks a litter more pearly and white. The secret to wearing red hot lipstick is feeling comfortable. All it takes is confidence to back it up!

Talking about celebrities not being too creative with their Halloween costume, check this girl out. A big version of black Chanel purse! Talking about Chanel, I got a new perfume from Chanel as a gift.Coco Chanel is one of the most respected fashion designers in the industry. The style of this incredibly unique designer label was derived from the extremely popular fragrance Chanel No.1. This fragrance was rich, fresh and the first product in the collection to experience high levels of success. Since then, Chanel has released a number of popular clothing, handbag, accessory and shoe designs for consumers worldwide to enjoy. Chanel’s handbag designs are some of the most popular accessories on today’s market.  Anyways, so I really like the smell of my new perfume, when I wore it the other day many people have been complementing it! I think it is a very happy fragrance, because it makes me smile when I spray it!
