5 tips to disguise a "tired face"

Sometimes we're so tired that we don't even have time or will to apply makeup. However, this fatigue is reflected in our face. Learn how to disguise a "tired face" by following these 5 steps:

1. Apply the right Concealer for your skin complexion. If possible, choose one that has sub tones of peach to balance the blue and purple of your dark circles.

2. Apply light eyeshadows. This is not time for a smokey black eye. Use colors like gold and extend it to the inner part of the eye to highlight it.

3. Apply the liner only through 3/4 of the eyes. It will make your eyes look more open.

4. Curve your eyelashes. You eyes will look prettier.

5. Apply lots of Mascara. Really!

How To: Thicken Your Lashes

We all know the wonders that the Younique's 3D Fiber Lashes can do, it's incredible! But today's trick is for those who still want to make the eyelashes thicker before applying the mascara, or even for those who don't like to apply mascara in the bottom lashes, but still want to make them look thicker.
So, here's how:

• Start by picking a black or brown waterproof kohl liner (it really has to be waterproof to avoid any smudging);
• Curl your lashes;
• All you do is to take the khol pencil and rub it back and forth in your lashes. This will give them darkness, and because it's a waterproof formula it will stick to your lashes giving them instant thickness, keeping the curl in place. Make sure you start right at the root of the lashes;
• Apply the 3D Fiber Lashes mascara to finish the look: from the root, wiggling all the way up.

The 5 Rules Of Amazing Lashes

Our makeup tends to change with the weather. When it's too warm, we wear less makeup. In winter, we go for more full coverage, but there's one thing that, no matter what kind of weather we're facing, we will do, we will ALWAYS go for big, beautiful and full lashes!

So here are the 5 rules of amazing lashes to follow all year round:

• Use a lash curler;
• Let lashes set between layers of mascara;
• Avoid spidery clumps by combing lashes after applying mascara;
• Don't layer different mascaras, stick to the same one. Try the Younique 3D Fiber Lashes, as they help create the appearance of incredible thickness and volume to your existing lashes. 
• Condition them. We're not saying to apply hair conditioner to your lashes, but with a cotton pad and organic coconut oil you can apply the oil and let it set, so your lashes grow and get some much needed hydration.

Voila! Big, Beautiful and FULL lashes ALL year long! You're welcome. 

Tip of the day: 3D Fiber Lashes

If you're looking for a dashing mascara effect, with more volume and length than a regular mascara, but without the discomfort of the false lashes, the 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique is the way to go.
It's the new favorite product by makeup youtubers and everyone is after this new formula that is putting all the other mascaras at a lower level. They are water resistant, but easily washes off with warm water and facial cleanser at the end of the day.

Make up essentials to carry on the bag

You don't have to carry your whole necéssaire with the whole range of eyeshadows and blushes that you own. But having some essentials in your purse can save the day, like when you leave home in a hurry without having the time to do any makeup whatsoever or when your colleagues invite you for that after hours drink at the new hip pub, or the party you totally forgot you were invited to.
Carry some wipes, there are brands who have small sized packages or pocket versions. Not only they will clean the oiliness and pollution residues but also will give your skin some moisture. Carry a BB cream, a concealer, a black kohl pencil, a mascara and colored lipstick like rose or red. The BB Cream is enough coverage for both day and night, it will even your skin tone. If you have that party after work that you had forgotten, apply some concealer under your eyes to make you look less tired. With a black kohl pencil you can draw a few lines on your eyelids and smudge with your own finger, and make another line on your lash line to give more definition to your look. The mascara will make the final touch by creating volume and depth to your look. Double the layers of the mascara if you're going to that pub or party. Last but not least: the lipstick. If you chose rose or red tones you can also use it as a blush, just smudge a little bit on your cheeks with your finger and you're ready to rock that party.

How to Apply Mascara Like a Pro

Admit it – you've been known to harbor perfectionist tendencies on occasion. A touch of Type A personality here and there never hurt anyone but there are only so many times you can reformat your résumé. So put away your rainbow highlighters and set aside that stack of itemized lists for a moment to brush up on a skill you may think you mastered long ago: mascara application. Because as you very well know, there is always room for improvement. The proof is in these eight pro tricks that will have you applying mascara better than you ever imagined possible.

1. Apply mascara on the bottom lashes first. Then apply mascara on the upper lashes but start from the inside corner. I place the brush to the lid, curl the brush downward, then pull the brush upward.
2. Always go vertical and then flip horizontal to really get every lash and make them full.
3. Look down at the mirror to do the top lashes and you won’t get mascara everywhere.
4. Don’t lift the brush straight up; slightly lean it towards your eyelid to curl the lashes. Then brush up and out, towards the outer corner of the eye. This will create a more open, winged out effect.
5. Start from the root of your lashes and wiggle upwards. Wiggling your mascara wand through your lashes will give your wand that tight fit up against every lash.
6. Gently press on the eyelid to pop out the lashes to get as close to the lash line as possible when applying mascara.
7. Bend the brush so you can get a better angle when applying.
8. The biggest mistake women make is not conditioning their lashes prior to the application.

Makeup Tricks to Make Your Eyes Look Bigger

There's nothing like having a big pair of beautiful sparkling eyes.  If you'd like to make your eyes look bigger, there are several ways to go about doing that, and not all of them involve makeup.

Prep: You always want to prep your eyes first! Even if you're going without eyeshadow, applying a primer will even out your skin tone and fill in any wrinkles, which detract from your gorgeous lookers. I use Younique's Glorious.  It's 100% natural, gluten-free, free of parabens, oils, synthetic fragrances, and cheap fillers so a little goes a long way. 

Eyeliner basics: Don't apply eyeliner all the way around your eyes. When you apply eyeliner on your lower lashes, do it just below the lash line, not inside the rim. Don't let the line come all the way to the inner corner of your eye.

Extension: Extend the eyeliner beyond the outer corners of your eyes. This line should move upwards a little as well, mimicking a very long eyelash. This technique will make your eyes appear wider.

White: Add white eyeshadow or eyeliner to the inner corner of your eyes. This technique helps to bring more light into your eyes and produces the effect of larger-looking eyes. Use soft white though; a harsh white will look theatrical.

Eyebrows:  In much the same way a picture frame affects the way the picture looks, your eyebrows affect the way your eyes look. The simple act of removing stray hairs can make your eyes more noticeable.

Eyelashes: You want to make your eyelashes longer. A good way to go about this is a eyelash curler. I, personally, am still deathly afraid of them and prefer to use Fiber Lashes. It's a two bottle mascara system that uses the natural fibers from tea to extend your lashes & add  great volume, while still looking natural.

Bags: You definitely want to get rid of dark circles and bags as the puffiness makes your eyes seem smaller. The easiest way for me to do this is to splash a little rose water around my eyes in the morning. Other good ways are applying slices of raw potato or chilled tea bags for 20 minutes. 

Enjoy your big, beautiful eyes!

3D Fiber Lashes: Better Than False Lashes

What are 3D Fiber Lashes? 

3D Fiber Lashes are a two-bottle mascara-type system that increase your lashes (thickness AND volume) by 300x, while looking completely natural. The Transplanting Gel and Natural Fibers (100% natural fibers taken from the campanulaceae of green tea) are used together to enhance and magnify your OWN lashes. 

How to apply 3D Fiber Lashes: 

To prepare your eyelashes for optimal results, first apply one thin coat of your own regular favorite mascara and let it dry. Then apply Moodstruck Transplanting Gel (containing conditioning collagen) to your lashes. Immediately following and while the gel is still wet, apply the Moodstruck Natural Fibers. Reapply the Transplanting Gel a second time to secure the natural fibers onto your lashes.
