How to clean the makeup brushes

Hygiene is also very important in makeup. Even if we are not professionals and other people are not using our brushes, we have to clean them.

Of course we clean because we want the eyeshadows off. That way the new colours won’t be mixed with the old ones and we cannot achieve the result we want when applying them. Also we clean them as they touch our face and we don’t want any contamination. In fact, we don't just clean them, we disinfect them as well.

The brushes we use to apply foundation, concealer, eyeliner and lipstick must be washed at regular bases. We clean them well with soap or shampoo on our palm following the movements with which we use the brush during applying the makeup. We rinse with water. We repeat the process as many times as necessary until it’s completely clean. At the end, we apply the conditioner and we rinse. During the time that the brushes are under the running water, we keep them vertically downwards in the water as much as possible so that no water will penetrate the brush and get damaged. Then we let them dry on an horizontal surface.

We can use the same cleaning method for all types of brushes such as shadows, blush, powder, etc. However, because it is difficult to do this process very often, there are some special brush cleaning liquids on the market for easier and daily use.

We use a paper and poor a small amount of the cleaning liquid on it. We clean the brush with the movements we use to apply the makeup. It is a good idea to disinfect the lip brushes with alcohol after washing them.

We use 2 cups. In the first one we have all the brushes that have been used and we want to clean them up. In the second we place the brushes we have cleaned one by one. It's a good idea to store clean brushes in a closed case so they don't get dusty. It is practical to have a cup on our vanity to place the used brushes until we clean and store them again.

Hourglass Figure
The Mermaid wedding dress is ideal for you. It embraces your figure and it punctuates the breast, the narrow waist and your curvy hips.
Pear Figure
Choose an A-Line or a Ball Gown. Their line is narrower at the top and wider downwards hiding the difference of the hips.
Apple Figure
For this body type an A-Line or a Ball Gown is ideal as well. This time because it will hide the narrower hips and it will not punctuate the waist.
Straight Figure
For this body type we need a wedding dress that will give the effect of a narrow waist. So an Empire Waist wedding dress will help punctuate the waist. The Sheath line is also ideal for a straight figure as it is a straight line dress.
Baby Bump
If your happiness is double and you are expecting a baby then we recommend an Empire Waist wedding dress that is narrow right bellow the breast and it won't bοther your beautiful belly.
Petite Figure
If you are one of the "expensive perfumes that go with small bottles" then the Empire Weist is perfect for you as it parts the body into one and two thirds giving the effect of a longer figure.
Of course these advices you can use to choose any kind of dress, not only your wedding dress!!!

LFP - 7 Tips for Youthful MakeUp

If you wish to learn what are the characteristics of a youthful makeup all you have to do is take a look of a young girl's face before she starts beautifying herself. These are the characteristics you have to accentuate for a youthful makeup.
LFP - 7 Tips για νεανικό μακιγιάζ - youthful makeup- Makigiaz Com - taylor swift
MakigiazCom will share some tips with you on how to create a youthful makeup.
Tip 1 : Thick Eyebrow
The first thing a girl changes on her face appearance are the eyebrows. When we are little our eyebrows are thick and with no particular shape. So thick eyebrows is a key characteristic for youthful makeup. When you tease your eyebrows you should give them a beautiful shape but you shouldn't thinner them a lot. If you already have thin eyebrows fill them with an eye pencil or an eyeshadow.
Tip 2 : Bright Lipstick
The first thing little girls try on is a lipstick. That is why lips are the most important element in youthful makeup. Choose bright colours and add lip gloss  so that your lips will look more juicy. As an alternative you can use only a coloured lip gloss.
Tip 3 : Thick Eyelashes 
Thick eyelashes is a sign of  youth. Unfortunately as years go by the eyelashes become fewer and thinner. Use an eye pencil to fill your eyelashes.
Tip 4 : Light Blusher
Give a healthy sense on your face with the use of a light blusher.
Tip 5 : Natural Eyemakeup
Forget any complex eye makeup methods. Just apply a light eyeshadow all over the eye. Focus on your eyelashes, as mentioned previously, by filling them with an eye pencil and apply mascara.
Tip 6 : Smooth Skin / Exfoliation
Smooth and soft complexion is another youthful characteristic. Exfoliate your face before applying makeup. It will remove the dead cells and your skin will be smoothed and glowing.
Tip 7 : Radiant Skin / Moisturization 
Give even more glow and radiance to your face by using a moisture cream before the makeup. As your foundation shouldn't be very heavy you should take care of your  skin in order to be in a very good condition.

LFP-Tip MakeUp-Highlighting in Eye MakeUp

It is very important to highlight our eyes so that they radiate and bring the attention on them. Which are the parts of the eye that we have to highlight when we put our makeup on?
MakigiaCom is sharing the secrets of highliting eyes step by step.
Choose a very light shade of eyeshadow colour according to the other colours you will use on your makeup. For example if you have shades of pink or purple choose a silver eyeshadow or if they are shades of brown use a gold eyeshadow. Choose pearl or satin eyeshadows, generally anything sparkling. Place this eyeshadow to the following parts of the eye.
*Use a small pointy brush to apply the eyeshadow in the inner corner of the eye. For more illumination you can use a brush with humidity.
*Use a wider brush to apply the eyeshadow at the arch of the brow. Personally I prefer not to use humidity for this part of the eye.
*With your finger apply by tapping a small amount of the eyeshadow to the middle part of your mobile lid.

That way you can have extra curled eyelashes. You should be careful not to use the curler after mascara application as the lashes will stick on it and they will hurt you when some of them come off.
