Apply your Eye Make-up like a Beauty Queen!

I was watching the live telecast of Miss Universe 2010 Pageant Finals at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas and just wonder how they do those gorgeous makeup, specially the eyes! Love, love, love them!!! Ha... time to make this fingers scribbling again and share it w/ you folks. Here's how to apply eye makeup in only 8 steps. Be it in your wedding day, a special dinner, or just wanted to be pretty YOU all day! Doesn't have to be all expensive to look like a beauty queen! :)

1.Prep your eyes with concealer Concealer can be used to cover up undereye circles or just the bluish discoloration just under your inner eye. To cover dark undereye circles, apply three dots of concealer under each eye. Start at the inner corner where skin tends to be darkest, then under the pupil and the third on the outer edge. Pat, never rub with your ring finger (this finger tends to have the softest pad) until it disappears.

2.Apply eye base to your lid Eye base is the secret to keeping your shadow in place for hours. Without properly priming your lid first, your eyeshadow will likely end up a greasy line in your crease.
3.Apply shadow. It's great to use a three-toned shadow and build from lids to brow. Allowing them to blend into each other like a rainbow is gorgeous, according to celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal. Start with a light color that almost matches your lid. Sweep the color across the lid and up to your browbone. Follow with a medium color across your lid only. Build on this with a darker color in the crease. Blend the colors well.

4.Follow with eyeliner Dark eyeshadows work great as eyeliners. Wet a slanted brush, then dip in a dark eyeshadow. Line eyes as close to the upper lashes as possible from the inner corner to the outer corner. Follow with liner on bottom eyes, but only line from the middle of the eye out. Smudge the bottom line with a Q-tip or your finger. You don't want a prominent line. For a smokey eye, use a brush to pat in a dark eyeshadow along the upper lid and below the lid. You don't want a stark line, instead you want to blend it so it's 'smudge-y.'

5.Brighten your eyes with a highlighter This step involves only the inside part of the eye. With a gold or pink highlighter (white is too bright), draw a v-shaped shape that follows the inner corner of your eye from top to bottom. Blend with your fingers. This will help make eyes 'pop.'
6.Highlight your brow Take the same highlighter and dab it on your browbone, concentrating on your mid-brow outward. Blend with your finger.

7.Curl lashes An eyelash curler will make even long lashes look more gorgeous. For added effect, you can heat the curler under a blowdryer for a couple seconds. Test curler before applying to lashes because you could burn yourself.

8.Apply mascara Place the wand of your mascara brush at the bottom of lashes and wiggle back and forth. Follow with another few sweeps of the wand. Apply to bottom lashes as well.



Reminder:
When applying mascara and eyeliner, try and apply it just above/below the waterline (depending on whether you are applying to top/bottom lids, respectively) and not wear it can be blinked onto the actual eyeball. If you do end up with a line of string-like liner/mascara on your eyeball, don't panic. Simply blink until you see a small edge of the string on your lower lid or next to your tear duct. Then you can just place a finger on it and drag it out. It doesn't hurt (unless your eye doesn't agree with the actual product, in which case you need to change the product, unless having rashes and red-eye is your idea of a makeover). If you find that blinking and waiting for the liner to come out itself doesn't work, try having a few tears, and that should get it onto your lower line. If that fails, wash your face and use a bottle cap/eye wash cap to tip some water into your eye.

Doctors cannot clean behind your eyes, so, and this is only in a worst case scenario, if you do get some gunk behind your eye, wait it out. Natural blinking and tears will easily move the gunk toward the eyelids.

Butterfly Wedding - For an Exceptionally Unique Wedding!

Are you looking for a truly unique wedding? Why not consider a butterfly wedding? This is becoming a popular event at many weddings though it has yet to catch on with masses. Basically what happens is butterflies are released after the ceremony and do a wondrous “dance” before everyone’s eyes.

The way it works, is before, or even during the ceremony, each guest is given a release box, and at the appropriate moment everyone opens their boxes at about the same time to release their butterfly, and it is truly a wonder to behold! Those providing the service will generally give you the option to release butterflies individually, or they will also have a mass release option.

What you do is keep the butterflies packaged until it is time for release. The butterflies are hand-raised and they are fed before they are boxed and they generally arrive safely just waiting for the big moment. The butterflies are ready to spring forth at the proper moment, though you will want to do your research on this, as it has been reported that some companies offering the service delivered butterflies which have not yet hatched for their cocoon.creativeweddingideas.bestnewtips.com, Butterfly Wedding - For an Exceptionally Unique Wedding!, Feb 2009~read the whole article in the link above.

All About Wedding Traditions

What's your wedding tradition? I guess its different in your other part of the world huh?, not unles you are from the Philippines:-). Well if you're indeed not from my side of the world, let me back track and share to you some of our wedding traditions, i bet theres a lot but i can only pin point a few and maybe...add on it as we go along.

Growing up in an environment rich with this culture and traditions is interesting and thanks to those historians and writers who burn their midnight candles just to share this to the future generations. I could just read some of these practices now in my history and culture books rather than witnessing it in real time!

Nevertheless, i'm glad we are now in the 20th century! :-p, Not that i dont like it but its quite really awkward if it's still praticed nowadays. Phew! I dont need to let my groom pass through these traditions at all. I was even wondering how my fiance would think if i let him do the "paninilbihan", the egg offering or the "pamamanhikan"(this is still being practiced in some parts though)to name a few, not to mention that he is from a foreign land.:)But i'm sure he will do if needed be, right honey? hehe.. Well, they may even have their own traditions back in his country.

Moving on, among the most popular filipino tradition is called the "pamanhikan" wherein partners seek their folk's blessings for a happy and successful marriage. It is often hosted by the bride's family where the groom and his parents set to visit the bride's family to formally ask her hand in marriage and discuss plans for the upcomming wedding.

Another tradition is called the "paninilbihan" which is one of the oldest tradition of a filipino family. Through the "paninilbihan" the groom has to be in the brides house to serve the bride's family to impress them. he has to be there from sunrise till sunset for a couple of months before the wedding. Thats how the groom have to impress the family and prove to them how sincere his love is for the bride. Back in the old days, where life is simpler, imagine the groom gathering and chopping firewood no stoves then)for the family's cooking, fetching water from a distant well (a wishing well? hehe..), or clean the house, or even do farming for the family (how sweet!).

Another tradition is the "Alay ng Itlog kay Sta. Clara" or the egg offerings to Saint Claire. Catholic Filipino couples visit the monastery of St. Claire to offer eggs to the patron saint and request the nuns to pray that their wedding day be 'rain-free'.

These are just one among the many traditions of my folks in the early days. Stay tuned if you want to know more for i'll be adding more interesting facts about the wedding norms and traditions of my people.

See ya! :)
