7 Steps to Great Makeup 1.
Avoid wearing too much
Makeup is meant to enhance features not bring negative attention to you. That's what wearing too much makeup will do; it will bring you unwanted attention. Don't wear too much of anything such as: 1. Eyeliner: dark, thick eyeliner will make you look overdone and will ruin the rest of your makeup. 2. Mascara: too much mascara looks fake and will flake. It looks especially bad if worn with thick eyeliner or dark blue eye eye shadow. 3. Foundation: Make sure your foundation is the same color as your skin. Foundation is meant to protect and give the face a smooth look. The magic word is blend. 4. Powder: The same holds true for powder - not too much. Also, be sure to blend your makeup so there are no obvious lines. 2. Lips Apply
lip liner to completely
cover the lips, add color and your lipstick will stay on much longer.
Make sure your lip liner doesn't show. Also, your lip color should
match your skin tone; wear cool colors if you have cool coloring and
warm colors if you have warm coloring. If you want to make your lips
look smaller, keep your liner on the inside of your lips. However, if
you decide to make your lips look larger, going outside the natural
outline of you lips is a mistake. This can look quite messy and
unnatural.
3. Appropriate makeup Wear makeup that is appropriate for the occasion. If you are going to the beach you shouldn't wear the same or as much makeup as you would if you were going dancing. Also, when you are in daylight your makeup should be a lighter than when you are out for the evening. 4. Too little or no makeup Some women don't wear makeup because they are not sure how to use it and are afraid of being overdone. If you are unsure, start will light colours in your shade. Start slowly and add one product at a time. Maybe start with foundation, add mascara, blush or lipstick. If you are not used to wearing makeup, using a lot a first may be a little too much for you, so start slowly. The bottom line is a little is better than none. If you are still unsure seek professional advice. 5. Overall look When your makeup is completed it should look natural. That means avoiding colours that clash. If you have dark skin and hair you will look better in darker shades; light colours will make you look washed out. If your hair and skin tone are light, light colours will look better on you. Dark makeup will make you look older and harsh. If you have oily skin, first use oil control moisturizer and foundation. Then be sure to wear loose powder, keeping pressed powder with you for touch ups. 6.
Hair color
Your hair color should also be in harmony with your skin. If you have dark hair and you want to add color, keep it close to the same shade. If you have light hair, use light colors. As you age your skin will lighten, so should your hair color. One last thing about hair color - if you do color you hair be sure you keep it up, don't let your roots show. 7. One last thing Keep makeup looking fresh all day by doing regular touch ups. Don't let your makeup fade or crease. Smile!!! Sheila

Colour
& Cosmetics
by: Jane Thurnell-Read
Many people avoid artificial colours in their foods, but don't check out the colours in cosmetics and personal care products. It is only in recent years that cosmetics have started to carry a full list of ingredients on their packaging. Making sense of the ingredients can be difficult for the lay person. This is particularly true for colourings, which often go under the guise of numbers rather than names. In many countries colours in cosmetics are listed as colour index numbers. C.I. numbers are allocated by the Society of Dyers and Colourists. The scheme covers colours used in food, personal care products, cosmetics, household products and fabric dyeing. So, for example you will not normally see ‘tartrazine’ listed in your lipstick ingredients, but it may be there listed as C.I. 19140. Erythrosine will be listed as C.I. 45430, and so on. The USA uses a different system: the FD & C colors have been categorised by the American Food & Drink Administration for use in foods, drugs and cosmetics. So in this system tartrazine is FD & C yellow 5, and amaranth is FD & C red 2. The
‘E
Number’ system is used by the European Community (EC). This
is a
system of giving code numbers to food additives, some of which are also
used in cosmetics and personal care products. This system is also used
in some other countries but without the E prefix, so E102 becomes
simply colour ‘102’.
All this confusion for the average consumer would not be important, but for the fact that some of these colours are known to cause problems in susceptible individuals. For example, tartrazine (also known as FD & C Yellow 5, CI 1914 and EI02) can cause migraines, itching, rhinitis and agitation in susceptible individuals. Many individuals avoid its use in food, but do not realise how extensively it is used in cosmetics, such as lipstick, and personal care products. The big worries in terms of colours in cosmetics and personal care products are lipstick, coloured lip balms, lip gloss and lip pencils, because anyone who uses these regularly ‘eats’ a fair quantity over their life time, but these colours also appear in skin cream, foundation, mascara and so on too. (Remember also that these colours can also be in 'natural' cosmetics and skin care products.) Another
worry is
that even the 'experts' cannot agree on an international 'safe' list of
colours, so that a colour may be allowed in one country, but banned
elsewhere. For example, quinoline yellow is allowed within the European
Community and in some other countries, but is banned in Japan, Norway
and the United States.
Fast
green FCF or FD & C Green 3 or C.I. 42053 As ever, the advice is: keep yourself informed and read the label. Here is a list of the different names and numbers that common colourings go under: Tartrazine: E102 or FD & C Yellow 5 or C.I. 19140 Quinoline yellow or E104 or C.I. 47005 Sunset yellow or E110 or FD & C Yellow 6 or C.I. 15985 Amaranth or E123 or FD & C Red 2 or C.I. 16185 Ponceau 4R or E124 or C.I. 16255 Erythrosine or E127 or FD & C Red 3 or C.I. 45430 Red 2G or E128 or C.I. 18050 Allura red AC or E129 or FD & C Red 40 or C.I. 16035 Patent blue V or E131 or C.I. 42051 Indigo carmine or E132 or FD & C Blue 2 or C.I. 73015 Brilliant blue FCF or FD & C Blue 1 or C.I. 42090 Green S or E142 or C.I. 44090 Jane Thurnell-Read researches and writes on health and well-being.

Model Posing Tips from a Professional Photographer By Bob Pardue Whether you are searching for a career in fashion
modeling or glamour modeling, it is very important for you to realize that there is more to becoming a model than just standing there looking beautiful. One very important factor in becoming a good model is posing, and in order for you to learn the different poses needed for the type of modeling career you are seeking it will take practice, practice, practice. Make Your Posing Look Natural When preparing for your photo shoot, there are numerous step you can take to ensure you are comfortable while posing and your photos will look more natural. Get Posing Ideas Before you head to your photo shoot, pick at least ten poses you really like from fashion or glamour magazines, or poses you’ve learned from previous photo shoots. Take time to practice each pose in front of a mirror until you feel comfortable and have the confidence of knowing you look great doing these poses. Hands and Facial Expression Also, focus on what to do with your hands and pay attention to facial expressions. A pose is virtually dead and unimaginative without a “look”. You should be able to close your eyes, imagine a thought, open your eyes and sell that thought. Practice this technique and your photos will come alive. Become an Idea Factory Unless you are shooting for an advertising agency or some other type of special interest session many photographers recommend that you bring some of your own posing ideas to the shoot. In addition to your ideas, the photographer may have his or her own idea of how the session should go. Rapport with Your Photographer Always work with a photographer you feel you can trust. This will make communication between the two of you easier and give you the confidence to express your own ideas. Always listen to what the photographer tells you. If you are really uncomfortable with the pose, let your photographer know how you feel, in a nice way. Remember, he is looking through the camera lens and might see something you don’t. If the photographer says she wants something different in the pose, try looking away from the camera or giving a unique facial expression. This is where your practice in front of the mirror really pays. Posture When posing you should always keep good posture unless the photographer instructs you to do otherwise. Hold your stomach in to give your abdomen a more toned appearance. If you have gained a few pounds stick out your chin a little to avoid the appearance of a double chin in your photos. Keep your fingers slightly apart and pointed away from the lens. Let your hands fall naturally into position whenever possible. Remember, you want to be yourself – on purpose. Now that you have learned what to do, consider these things you should try to avoid while posing. Things to Avoid when Posing for a Photographer Misplaced Body Language Body language and expressions come naturally but the language you are projecting might not be what your photographer wants in a particular pose. You need to conciously focus on ways to prevent these habits while posing. Don’t hold your breath during a pose. Stay relaxed and your photos will look as if you just happened to be sitting this way when the photographer walked up. In most pose situations you want your arms, legs, wrists, etc. slightly bent unless you are directed to do otherwise Most people don’t stand or sit with their arms and legs completely stiff. A good point to remember is, if it will bend, bend it. Mona Lisa Smile? Another posing tip to remember is that you don’t always have to smile. You should have a good variety of smiling and serious looks. But, sometimes you will want to give a large, open-mouthed laugh. If you are susposed to be happy, look the part! Your Eyes are the Windows to Your Soul Don’t always look straight into the camera. When you cut your eyes to the left or right, you create an air of mystery. When you look up and away, you are annoyed. Tilt your chin slightly down and look straight ahead for a sexy look. About Blinking Beware of the Blink! If you have to blink, try to blink between exposures. This is not always easy, especially if you are working in a photography studio. Some models get into a habit of anticipating the strobes and start to close their eyes when the picture is about to be snapped. Get into the habit of not paying attention to the flash and concentrate wholy on the pose, your body language, hand position, etc. and your images will come out as you expect. Be Bold!! Never be afraid to try out some of your own poses in front of your photographer. Most photographers are glad to hear suggestions from you. How do You See Yourself? When you look at your final images don’t be critical of yourself. Find positive ways to improve your posing. Discover your strengths and weaknesses and shoot for the stars. I am certain that Tyra Banks still works on her appearance and her posing artistry even though she has achieved a degree of stardom. Shouldn’t you?

sexy
under garments, or could even be fully dressed, somewhat scantily. Some
boudoir subjects are draped in a robe or soft, sometimes sheer wrap,
just enough to silhouette her shapely figure. The most important thing
to remember is that boudoir photography is not about nudity; it is more
about sensuality and romance.
Pose
To
capture the interest and imagination of the viewer, the subject's pose
is just as important as her wardrobe. This is where the experience and
expertise of the photographer is demonstrated. In composing a boudoir
photo shoot, the creativity and imagination of thephotographer plays an
important role in the success of the shoot.
An experienced boudoir photographer knows lighting affects the shot,
and can visualize the many different angles to shoot their subject, for
the utmost sensual, and sexy shot.
Another important fact to keep in mind is that in most instances, the boudoir client is not a professional model, so the photographer should have the uncanny ability to make the subject comfortable and at ease, while at the same time, making her feel sexy and sensual. The Set
Most boudoir sets are staged with natural and soft
lights and resemble a romantic, sometimes Victorian-styled bedroom. A
beautiful set, with soft colors and lighting helps the subject to
relax. Creating a "dreamy" atmosphere helps the subject feel more
sensual and beautiful, which ensures the success of the photo shoot.
Music is also a powerful tool in making a subject more comfortable in
their surroundings. If you chose to have music playing in the
background, pick something that is soothing and romantic, possibly
classical music. This will subconsciously help the subject relax and be
more at ease with the photo shoot.
The
premises of boudoir photography are love, affection, romance, and
giving. Female Boudoir Photography is almost always done tastefully and
using classy props to enhance the feeling of romance and richness; it
is a collaboration between the subject and the photographer, and the
more prepared both are, the more your subject will be able to enjoy her
day of romance.
Boudoir studio shoots makes a great sexy gift for someone you are romantically involved with. Many women, perhaps trying to rekindle the romance, get boudoir photos as a gift for their lovers. Others just want to give a fun and sexy present, either for birthday or anniversary. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Tony_Mandarich
 A Career In Fashion Modeling By Tony Jacowski
While surfing through TV channels, you probably have come across a
model in an ad or a fashion channel with a svelte and appealing figure,
and a great deal of poise. And, for the umpteenth time you may have
wished that you could be one. It's not just the attention that makes an
individual want to be a model, but also the money involved.
Modeling is not confined to traveling to exotic locations, being pampered, attending celebrity parties and earning thousand dollars a day. Although most people like to be in the limelight, rub shoulders with the fashion circuit's who's who, and indulge in the best cuisines of the world, modeling is much more than that. Requirements
If you plan to take up modeling as a career, you need to acquire
demanding physical attributes. You need to first rate yourself. Gauge
your weaknesses and your strengths. Not everyone is perfect, but you
can work on your flaws and improve on your plus points. For example,
your height should be at least 5'8" or more than that, and your body
weight should be in proportion to it.
Fashion models are notorious for their unusual diets and exercise regimes that they need to undergo to maintain the exacting body proportions required by the profession. The skin should be healthy and without any, or very little, blemishes. Your hair should be in good shape without any kind damage or dehydration in evidence. Even your teeth should be straight and white, and not crooked or flawed in any manner. A million dollar smile would do half your job. Models lead a fun filled and exciting life. They have lavish lifestyles, and hop from one lovely locale to another. However, aside from all the fun, modeling demands dedication, commitment and genuine interest. The work timings can be erratic, and models are required to balance their work schedules, as well as their personal health. Models especially require ample sleep, good and nutritious food, and exercise to keep fit. Their profession demands that they maintain their health and complexion, and adhere to a good regime of personal grooming. Modeling
Once you enter the modeling arena, the next step is to get noticed by a
modeling agency. Don't forget that the agency needs you just as much as
you need them. They are always on the look out for fresh faces, and if
you are at the right place at the right time, you can land yourself a
lucrative modeling assignment. Don't expect assignments to just walk up
to you. You need to make an effort to search for them, and give people
a push. You will have to send out your portfolios to modeling agencies
that recruit models.
It is important to make your portfolio simple yet effective, however you don't have to spend a lot of money to create an expensive portfolio. Usually, agencies have open castings where newcomers have a chance of being selected. Experience in the related field, whether in print, ramp or television ads, is an added advantage. Movie and film extras agencies also hire models for their movies. You can also work as a live model at a local departmental store, or even make a public appearance at a local event. This adds up to your experience and helps you to familiarize yourself with the requirements of the profession. Entering The Fashion Circle
After being hired by one of the agencies, you may have to shift base to
another city, or always be on the move. This would also mean living
away from your family or traveling a lot. Since initially it may take a
while to get a major break in the profession, you need to be patient
and determined, until you succeed. Attend all casting calls and shoots.
Although established models are known to keep people waiting, but you
being a rookie cannot afford such antics. With dedication and
perseverance, you are sure to succeed.

What everyone doesn't know is how simple it can be! I won't promise you'll be the next Nikki Taylor or Kate Moss, but if you want to make a steady income through modeling, here are a few things to keep in mind. Genre work can be found for a wide variety of characters - from computer geeks, to stay-at-home moms, to plus-size clothing modeling. You will definitely find a wider variety of work if you keep your body healthy, but you don't need to be People's Sexiest Man alive to find work If you are serious about a career in modeling, contacting a modeling agency is your best first step. While it's possible to pursue your own jobs, an agency will find you work that you otherwise would have no shot at, in addition to streamlining the process on a professional level to ensure you don't miss any work that you might be right for. They generally take 10-15% of your final pay on jobs they find for you. Many companies only work with you if you have an agent. Also, many agencies require you to use their own photographers, or at least to follow their own particular format when making your final prints. ModelScouts, Newfaces, and FashionGates all have resources online to help you find a local agency that is right for you. One thing you'll absolutely HAVE to invest in is photographs. Photo's can cost anywhere from about $200 to over $1000 depending on how many choices you want and the format of your final prints. This might seem like something you can cut corners on, but it's important to find someone with experience modeling photography - don't ask your next-door neighbor just because he has a camera. Make sure the person who takes your pictures has a good sense for lighting, posing, and a critical eye for what types of "looks" you're trying to capture. There are plenty of places online to aid in your search - to name a few, ASMP, FindaPhotogrpaher and PhotographersIndes all have links to experienced professionals in your area. Fortunately, many advertisers have woken up to the fact that everyday people are the ones buying their products, and modern marketing trends reflect this ideal.
