Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that mainly occurs when the hair follicles become clogged with excess oil on the skin surface. Dead skin cells and bacteria add on to the condition making it worse. Anything applied on the face can end up clogging the pores. Sunscreens and cream foundations used for makeup that have oil as the base can also contribute to causing acne in adults. Acne is not dangerous but the treatment required will depend on its severity. 1. What causes acne in adults? Hormones in both females and males stimulate the adrenal glands. This brings about an onset of acne. As mentioned before, anything applied on the face has a chance of clogging the pores. It is best to use products that are oil-free, be it sunscreens or foundations and instead use powder-based cosmetics. Hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, and menstruation can also trigger excess oil production in women. People who smoke are prone to suffering from acne. For women, in particular, acne can remain for years, flaring up occasionally at least a week before menstruation and clearing up thereafter. However, a severe onset in older adults could have an underlying cause that requires investigation and attention. 2.

One of the crucial aspects of a great look is doing your eyebrows properly. However, if you are a beginner, it might get a little clumsy; but don’t worry, in the following, some essential steps to apply the perfect eyebrow makeup have been listed. Anatomically speaking, it is said that the head of the eyebrow should meet the outer edge of the nostril while the tail portion of the eyebrow should line diagonally with the (side) nostril. Hence, you can use a pencil or tweezer to identify the head and tail of your eyebrows. Identifying these lines can help set the boundary, like a canvas where you can proceed with your art. The next step would be to identify the perfect brow for your face shape. Read on to know more: 1. Square shape The goal is to soften the face.

Essential oils for skin and hair care are gaining popularity today as they are considered organic due to the very fact that they are extracted from parts of a plant like its leaves, barks, rinds, and herbs.

Most of us may have at one point wondered what’s the big fuss about an eyeliner; as all we need to do is draw two small lines until we realized it wasn’t. A minute shake of the hand, blinking of an eye, or opening your eye a microsecond earlier could completely ruin your makeup.

With patience and practice, anyone can master the art of flawless eyeshadow application. With the right tools and complementing colors, you can do it easily at home. From choosing neutral shades of shadow for everyday makeup and darker and dramatic colors for parties or special occasions, you can mix and match colors to create dramatic looks to amp up your look. Here are a few steps you can follow to master the art of applying eyeshadow. 1. Primer base Always apply a primer over the eyelid so that the eyeshadow stays on throughout the day. If you are going in for a fuller eyeshadow application, apply the base right through the brow; however, if you are limiting the eyeshadow to the crease, then use the primer only up to the crease. You can apply a primer using your finger, but it is recommended that beginners use a Q-tip or a brush. 2. Eyelids Once you decide on the color, you can use the blending brush and dip it in the shadow and sweep the color on your eyelid. You can then close your eyes and blend it across the eye simultaneously smoothing the rough lines. You can make it darker if you want to go for a dramatic look.

Once you have zeroed in on the type of foundation suitable for your skin, it is necessary to understand how to apply it. Quite often, after applying the foundation while at home, we are not satisfied with the desired effect. However, when we do a trial session at the store, and the makeup artist/advisor helps us choose a foundation and applies it on our skin as a sample, we find the final result to be amazing. The main reason for this disappointment could be improper application. First of all, your face should be clean and without any grease or uncleaned makeup. You should wash your face well and wipe it dry before beginning with your makeup routine. You can also follow this with another face cleanse using cleansing milk. After this, you will have to apply moisturizer and a primer to prepare the face for applying a foundation. In the following, a brief description has been given on how to apply different types of foundation: 1. Powder foundation You can simply pat on a powder foundation with a puff. If the foundation is a full coverage one, then you can apply it all over the face and press it onto the skin with a powder puff.
