Kryolan Cosmetics
Woman tend to make a big mistake when shopping for eye shadows.
They tend look at the colours and seem to forget about the texture and what it will do for their eyes.
In my opinion, shimmers are great, but a basic palette of matte powders is essential.
Always have a neutral colour ( bone, cream, ivory ) in matte and shimmer/shiny.
The matte is for all over the eye area and the shiny is to ad a bit of life to the eye.
Use shiny powders sparingly as your eyes might just shine too much, unless that is the look that you want to achieve.
Taupe, dark brown, gunmetal and black is great to work with, in matte and shiny and very important to have in your palette.
Peachy pink is an ideal colour to use as a natural cheek colour. Always remember to brush lightly over the cheeks. You can always add more if you desire an intense colour.

Synthetic versus natural hair makeup brushes:
I always used to pull up my nose when someone mentioned the word "synthetic" in makeup brushes.
In reality, these are great fibers and better than natural hair.
This is explained below:
The process for making Taklon, in which polyester fiber is extruded and tapered to a fine point. It is designed to mimic the handling characteristics of natural sable.
Taklon brushes are more hygienic than real hair brushes. Natural hair has an irregular surface which traps powders, dead skin cells, bacteria and chemicals. Cleaning may not necessarily remove these particles. Because of this, regular cleaning with disinfectants is required to prevent skin irritation. Taklon lacks these surface irregularities, making it easier to clean properly. This decreases irritation. Because Taklon is synthetic, animal cruelty is not an issue.

NAIL OMBRE
How to do a beautiful nail ombre.
Step one:
Select 2 or 3 nail varnishes of the different shades or complementary colors.
Apply 1 to 2 coats of the lightest color and let dry thoroughly.
Step two:
Take your darker color and apply a drop on a cotton pad. The pad will absorb the product and will be just sufficient to dab a sponge tip applicator onto the drop.
Step three:
Dab lightly over the whole nail service. Repeat second application making sure that only top half is done.
Carry on with applications moving each time higher the the nail tip.
The finished look must have a faded effect. The side closer to the cuticles must be the lightest and becoming dark towards the tips of the nails.
Finish with a top coat for extra shine and protection.
Be creative and use any color scheme, even glitter, but make sure that it is well executed.

HAIR MASCARA
I know how woman...and some men feel when their hair color is growing out and the roots are showing, especially those awful grey hairs sticking out like a sore thumb!
Well, there is a quick fix if you cannot get to your hairstylist for a color.
Hair mascara is just one method of touching up your roots until your next salon visit.
Easy to use and temporary. Just apply with wand on the areas where you need to and voila!
Also great for eyebrows too!
