Tips for cheeks! natural, rosy radiance


When applying blush, you want the color to look soft and natural, as if it comes from within. Read below for tips on how to put on make-up.

1. Tap or lightly blow on the applicator brush to remove any excess blush before applying to prevent a harsh and uneven application.
2. Apply your blush on the apple of the cheek and carefully blend towards your natural hairline.
3.
If you have two shades, apply the darker one on the apple of the cheek first, then use the lighter shade to highlight. Blend well so there is no visible line between colors.
4. Highlight your temples, forehead and chin.

Tip: To know "where to glow" bend over for 30 seconds, then slowly stand up. Where your cheeks are flushed is where you are meant to blush. Apply your blush there and it will be naturally rosy every time.

Tip: Cheek color should be used to enhance your complexion, not to change your natural skin tone. Use sparingly for daytime, then add more or a deeper shade for a more dramatic nighttime effect. For special occasions, dust a lightly frosted powder over your cheekbones for a subtle but alluring glow.
Tip: Make sure to blend your blush into your foundation well or it will tend to look unnatural and add the appearance of 5 years to your looks.

Wedding Hairstyle Basics


There are so many choices when it comes to wedding hairstyles and the process can seem overwhelming -- after all, your wedding hair will be highly photographed! Fortunately, we've got all the tips and tricks to gorgeous bridal hairstyles you need. The first step to choosing the right hairstyle is to gauge your hair type. Obviously, there are plenty of wedding hairstyles for long hair, like natural styles with romantic, loose curls and formal wedding updos. But there are also a lot of fun options for short wedding hairstyles, like sparkly hairpins or even trendy headbands. Next, you'll want to start collecting photos of wedding hair styles that you love (check out our wedding hairstyle photo gallery!). Once you have an idea of what you want, you'll need to find a wedding hair pro in your area, keeping in mind that the same person who cuts your hair isn't necessarily the best person to style your wedding hair. Do your homework -- once you've found someone you like, schedule a hair trial appointment. This is your opportunity to share the photos of bridal hairstyles you like and to determine whether your stylist's vision matches yours. This is especially true for wedding updos! When you go to your hair trial, make sure to bring along your veil or any hair accessories you're planning to wear so that your stylist can recreate the exact look you want. Once you've nailed down the perfect style, book their services, keeping in mind that wedding hairstyles for long hair often take several hours (so be sure to give yourself enough time to get ready before your wedding ceremony). If you plan on changing your hair before the reception, ask your hair stylist to teach one of your bridesmaids how to help you

CAN YOU MAKE YOUR HAIR GROW FASTER??

Q: Can I make my hair grow faster?

A: Realistically, no. But here are some hair-helper tips that certainly can't hurt. Give yourself at-home scalp massages, says L.A. stylist Philip B. They stimulate the blood flow to your scalp, which helps nutrients get to your hair follicles more quickly. While washing your hair, massage the scalp with your fingertips, starting at the back of the neck and moving around the hairline.

UCLA dermatologist Harold Lancer also suggests taking an over-the-counter vitamin every day that contains antioxidant blends and vitamin B derivatives to help increase hair strength. Dr. Lancer recommends the brand Marlan, available at most major drug stores.


WORDS OF ADVICE FROM BRIDAL HAIR NY:
DONT USE HAIR AND NAIL GROWTH VITAMINS. Not only does hair on head grow faster but so does all the hair on your body and thicker too which can cause ingrown hairs!

PROTECT YOUR LOCKS FROM UV RAYS!

The heat and the high UV rays given off by the sun during the hot season, can dry out and cause substantial damage to your locks, so protecting them is a must if you wish to keep your tresses looking soft and healthy. There are a variety of treatments, homemade or store products available to help you protect your locks from heat damage, all you need to do is select the ones that work for you.

These summer hair treatments help moisturize your hair, keeping it soft and healthy, so make sure you spare some of your precious time for pampering your locks.

Homemade summer moisturizing hair mask
Natural, homemade hair treatments can too have a positive impact on locks, and the great thing about these treatments is that they are often created using ingredients which are usually found in your kitchen on a daily basis. A hair treatment mask created using avocado, olive oil and egg yolk can do wonders for your locks, making them look luscious and soft. Peel an avocado and mash the pulp, then mix it with a bit of olive oil and an egg yolk.
Apply the mixture on your hair and massage it well. Allow the mask to work for about 30 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water then wash your hair as usual.

Professional hair repair masks
There are many professional brand products out there to choose from, products which can deliver amazing results, all you need to do is purchase the ones that are created to deal with your hair problems. Nutrition hair masks definitely have to be a part of your weekly hair care routine, so invest in a high quality product which features moisturizing ingredients. Experiment with your favorite brand and see if the hair mask rises-up to your expectations.
Hair repair masks should be applied at least once a week and the application instructions should definitely be respected for best results.

UV hair protection spays
Just like your skin, your hair needs to be protected from sun as it will dry out and fade your locks. To maintain the richness of hair color, apply a UV protection spray on your hair whenever you expose yourself to the sun. If you're on a tight budget, you can pour a bit of sunblock in a pump bottle and pour water over to obtain a liquid mixture which you'll then spritz over your hair to offer it protection. However, don't go overboard with your homemade hair protection spray to avoid your hair becoming greasy.
