To start with, focus your attention on what exactly you want to highlight. Since the colors are so bright, it is important that only one part of your face is highlighted, either your lips, eyes or cheeks, but never all together, not to look like a clown.

Candy Makeup for Eyes

First of all begin with your eyes. Most girls highlight their eyes especially, since they are the most expressive and emotional parts on one’s face. In order to make the makeup last long, create a smooth and long lasting base. Use an under eye concealer on upper and lower eyelids. Then start applying the eye shadow. You can take different colors, using one on the inner corner of the eye, and then continuing with another color on the rest of the eye, creating a fresh candy mix. You can mix colors without fearing. Bright blue or mint green are the colors that match everybody, with any skin color. They are convenient for an evening look especially. For more emphasis you can apply blue eye shadow on the inner part of the eye then take pink or coral in the middle of the eye, and finally finish with purple on the outer corner. Feel free to use black mascara. For an evening look any other colored mascara can be perfect.

Candy Makeup for Cheeks

The next area to work on is the cheeks. Candy cheeks will look youthful, delicate and girlish. Again before passing on to the cheeks, first of all work on the base, for the latter to look smooth. Apply foundation on your clean face. The foundation should be exactly matching your face tone. A liquid or cream foundation is better than a powder one especially for dry skin type, since the latter are more moisturizing. Then apply the powder blush, again you can take creamy ones of any color you like: peach, pink. A dusky pink tone of a blush will instantly brighten up tired-looking skin. Do not put much blush onto your brush not to have an artificial look. Apply the blush on the apple of your cheek carefully. You can use a subtle touch of shimmery blush on the highest points of your cheekbones for a sexy result. Your cheeks become lively, hot and fresh.

Candy Makeup for Lips

Candy makeup looks amazing on lips. This way you can create a super-kissable, sugary pout that could hardly be missed. It is normally accepted to match the color of the lipstick with the blush, to have a more harmonious look. You can take pink, purple lipsticks. Nevertheless since the essence of a candy makeup is to differ from an every day one, do not hesitate to take any color you like. You can even use red for a sexier look. However keep in mind that if you have already emphasized any of the other parts of your face, be it your eyes or cheeks, then do not over makeup your lips, not to look vulgar. If you want your lips to be highlighted, then use a lip gloss at the end to create sweeter and tastier sugar lips. When using red lipstick better refrain from any base liners, especially if you are just starting to use this color. And no need to use a gloss afterwards. For pale pink or purple lipstick, feel free to use a base liner, so that the lipstick does not wear off fast.

Candy Nails

Last but not least, a nice idea of nailing down the candy makeup trend is to opt for a lovely candy nail polish. Here, you have less restrictions. You can wear candy nails on any occasion, matching your nail color with your outfits or contrasting it with them for a more creative look. Think mint green, sugary pink, lilac, lovely yellow or any other shade that comes to your mind. You can also create ombre nails, experimenting with your favorite candy shades.

With such a stunning candy makeup you are welcome to any party. You can feel safe since you will astonish everybody with your hot look. And be sure that many from the opposite sex will hurry to invite you to another party pretty soon. Think of wearing a candy like hot makeup in the same style.

Eyeliner Application Tips for Close-Set Eyes

Close set eyes are those narrower than one eye width. In order to make the illusion that the distance between the eyes is normal, emphasize the outer corner of your eye.

When trying to look even more glamorous, we start thinking of some additions that would make our facial features pop and create the look we are not gifted with. Some of us, unfortunately, weren’t born with long and thick eyelashes, which are considered to be the most enviable parts on a woman’s face. They make our eyes look bigger, more emotional and sexier. To fill the gap, you can consider using false eyelashes for added extension and perfection. Let’s study them thoroughly, examine their pros and cons, since it is believed false eyelashes have a negative impact on our eyes.

First of all, anything artificial naturally causes damage. Specialists strongly recommend those who are used to wearing false eyelashes to reduce their use, or at least take them off on a regular basis. There are types of false eyelashes that can be worn for days or even weeks. Never go for that kind, since it will damage your natural lashes.

It is believed, that when applying false eyelashes, your natural lashes get damaged. This may lead to the loss of your natural eyelashes. As a result, in our search for full lashes, we get even poorer lashes, which can hardly be repaired, in some cases unless we turn to surgical interference.

It is really important to know how to use false eyelashes to avoid damage. First, do not keep them for too long, and secondly, be gentle when taking them off. The glue that sticks the falsies onto your own lashes is very harmful too, since it can cause eye irritation and even vision loss. Watch out when using them. Those who are allergic should refrain from the use of eyelash glue, since it may cause irritation and redness to the eye.

Even though false eyelashes can add an extra dimension of beauty and style, don’t overdo it. They should accent, not emphasize the natural beauty of your eyes. So use them on special occasions. Never borrow anybody else’s false eyelashes, since they can harbor bacteria.

Another thing that may be a reason for eyelash damage is the type of your skin. Different skin types have different signals to something new and artificial. For some, a small damage can soon be recovered. For others though, even the slightest injury may be catastrophic. So first consult a dermatologist to learn whether your skin type will allow you wearing false eyelashes.

Besides, some natural eyelashes have weak follicles that cannot stand the tension of the fake ones, which means you will have a lash loss. To avoid such a dramatic harm, do not hesitate to remove the false eyelashes before going to bed.

It is natural that having a dramatic look with long lashes, you look and feel more confident. Nevertheless, think twice about applying anything artificial onto your face. Keep false eyelashes for special occasions and not for everyday use. Your facial skin and eyes are so sensitive, that once you damage any, it will be difficult to recover your healthy look.

Apply a black eyeliner on both the top and bottom lash lines, slightly going out on the outer corners. With a blending brush smudge the liner, creating a smokey effect. As a final touch, apply darker tones of eyeshadows, using it a bit more on the lower part of your eyes. When it comes to your lips, leave them nude. Still if you want to dramatize your look a little bit, use a red lipstick.

There are some cases when people go for fake noses or chins to have a more witch like look. For this they use a fake greenish nose and chin that are attached to their faces with glue. But if you want to look a sexy witch, do not use these accessories.

Clown Makeup

If you are going to dress up like a clown, think about your reddish nose first. If you are not using a fake nose, then paint your nose red. Your face should be pale enough. Take a foundation lighter than your skin and apply it onto your face in a thick layer. Highlight your eyes by using bright colored eye shadows.

There is a very good saying, that states “our skin above 30 is what we are worth having”. That is, depending on what you did with your skin, how much care you have taken of it, then reaching the age of 30, you will get the expected results. Those who have experimented with their poor skin since early ages will be in need of a thorough care now. Yet, those who always kept an eye on their appearance, tended for organic means for use, will likely gather the “crops” of their efforts.
In today’s world full of inorganic products, with high level of chemicals added in almost every ingredient, it is difficult to protect our skin. We tend for expensive cosmetics, thinking they will be of higher quality. In some cases we are right, but from the point of view of their being organic, we may be mistaken.

In order to have natural looking skin, there are numerous ways to reach the result in home conditions. If you have shiny, oily facial skin, do not worry. You can soon get rid of the problem with an appropriate mask for oily skin. Or if your skin is dry and you get nervous every time you apply foundation on the unsmooth skin, we have what to suggest you.

No one will deny that in ancient times, before the existence of any cosmetics we are now used to, there were so many homemade remedies used by women for skin care. They were both natural and organic. So let’s have a look at a series of harmless natural beauty remedies that will help you look perfect without any harm to your skin.

Taking Care of Our Hands

Experts say that the skin on our hands is the first signal that tells us about a woman’s age. That is because the skin is very sensitive and when not taken care thoroughly, the skin starts to get harsher and soon wrinkles appear on them. Especially in winter, our hands demand greatest care. If your gloves or the creams have not been of much use to you and your hands seem to be damaged, here is a perfect recipe to bring back life to your hands.

Take a small amount of ground almonds; add a teaspoon of honey, sunflower oil and a little lemon juice. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together, get a thick paste. Then apply some part of the mixture on your hands. Keep it on for a couple minutes and wash. Dead skin of your hands will be taken away; your hands will get moisture, and will look soft and smooth like a silk.

Or, you can use any other ingredient you have at home. For instance, start massaging your hands with half a lemon, which will soften the skin, as well as will help you get rid of unpleasant stains and smells. It also strengthens nails. You can also use a natural paste featuring cucumber juice and a few drops of glycerin.

Another homemade beauty recipe is to take the same amounts of lime juice and tomato juice and blend it with a few drops of glycerin. Apply the paste on your hands and you will soon feel that your skin is as smooth as the newly born baby skin is.

There are still so many homemade recipes to make your skin soft. Simply choose whichever is convenient to you, or the smell of which is pleasant to you.

Facial Skin Care

If your skin is dry, you can fix the problem using avocado oil. Avocado oil’s fatty acids help to balance skin’s moisture levels, while vitamins A, C, and E contained ensure that no further skin damage is caused. What you have to do is combining equal parts of avocado oil and evening-primrose oil in a bottle and shake to blend. With a little amount of the mixture message your skin, and then cover your face with a warm washcloth, leaving ot on for about a minute so that the oils will thoroughly sink in.

Oily skin is shiny skin, from the forehead, down the nose to the chin. Of course women hate this problem, but while you may find this annoying, there is an advantage of this skin type: it ages better than dry skin. That’s something to be happy for.

For those with oily skin, the use of lemon and eggs will be of much help. Mix lemon with grapes and egg white. Apply the homemade facial and leave it on your skin for about 15-20 minutes. Afterwards rinse it off with lukewarm water. Lemon is known to be a great natural cleanser, while egg whites will ensure that your facial skin is tighter. As for the grapes, they are added for softening your skin.

Oatmeal also plays a great role in this respect. It contains beta glycan, which creates a moisture-retaining film on the skin. Create your facial by mixing egg white with oatmeal. Apply it on your oily skin and then wash it off with lukewarm water after 20 minutes. After this, your skin will become fresh.

Remove Unwanted Spots from the Face

If you have red splotches on your face, get rid of them by using a natural facial featuring one egg yolk and the juice of one lemon. Apply the paste on your face and leave it overnight for better results.
A mixture of apple cider vinegar can serve as a natural cleanser of your face. It removes dead skin cells in a natural way.

Our skin needs a rest from all the chemicals used in cosmetics we apply every day. Organize a skin cleansing session on regular basis. Follow all these natural beauty recipes, since each of them is worth trying. Choose the one that you like most of all and test it for several times. You will notice the difference at once.

All human beings are gifted with their personal, natural scent of body. Nevertheless all of us are apt to choosing a special fragrance to identify and highlight our personality, since a perfume complements our natural skin scent. If you want to be remembered, to surprise everybody with your unique taste and make memories about you stick to their minds, it’s important to know how to choose a signature scent best matching your personality.

History of Perfumes

Perfumes were used still in ancient times. For instance, a woman named Tapputi is known to have been the first ever recorded chemist, who created perfumes still in the 2nd millennium BC in Mesopotamia. She got perfumes by combining flowers, oils with other aromatics, filtering and putting them back in the still several times.

Distillation, the means by which even today perfumes are used to be made, was known still in Persia. Some chemists used the mixture of herbs with oil, which created a strong scent however. Later they started using such flowers as roses, which made the fragrance very delicate and soft. In addition to roses, almonds, bergamot, resin and coriander were also commonly used in the process of creating fragrances.
Different perfumes have different duration. It depends on the concentration, which in fine fragrance is typically ethanol or a blend of water and ethanol. The intensity and longevity of a fragarnce depends on the fact whether natural essential oils or perfume oils have been used. The more aromatic compounds prevail in a given fragrance, the longer its scent will last. For this reason, perfumes receive different names, like: toilets, extracts and so on.

Choosing a Signature Perfume

We spend years seeking the correct fragrance for ourselves. We can try one for some time and later coming across another fragrance, understand, that the previous one was not that harmonious with our nature than this very one is. One may spend all his life in the search of a perfume. Yet there are so many devoted people, who stick to one and the same scent all their lives. It is, however, very important to make a right choice, in order to avoid headaches that can be a result of bad quality or too strong fragrances.

It is important to keep in mind that one and the same fragrance should not be used throughout the year. There are scents which are typical winter ones, that add warmth to us, or light summer fragrances that give freshness in hot summer days. Always have at least two variants of fragrances for appropriate seasons. First you will not get tired of the same scent, secondly, you can surprise your sweetheart: with the slightest change, you will fill his heart with new feelings that will later change to sweet memories.

There are several things to take into consideration when choosing a perfume. First of all consider the nature of your job. Those who work with clients are not encouraged to use sweet or too strong scents, since it can serve as a barrier between the client and you. Who knows what types of people you are going to deal with. Maybe you have a very influential client who is going to sign a very important contract with your company, but the unwanted scent of the sales manager drives him away, since he is allergic. In order to avoid such problems, better use neutral fragrances in small amount or toilets that have less longevity.

Tips to Find the Fragrance Close to Your Nature

When it comes to choosing a signature fragrance there are some tips that should be followed to make the best choice.

• First of all do not buy anything in haste. You will later regret about that. Since, perfumes have different scents throughout hours. A pure perfume passes 3 stages: the first one is the scent that comes right on the moment you use the perfume and it may last for 30 minutes at least. Later it changes its scent by mixing with your natural body scent. And only several hours later you can smell the real scent of a perfume. So take some time to pass all these stages. You can also leave the shop and see how the perfume works on you outside. It will get another tone when outside, see how it reacts to the heat. If the scent still continues to attract you then go ahead to buy it. If you have doubts, do not hesitate to leave without a purchase and come back the following day to double check.
• Also if you are testing several perfumes at a time you can get the wrong impression. Having tried more than 3 scents you will get messy and unable to judge any more. Most shops offer coffee beans to neutralize all the previous scents and go on with testing again. Keep a handful of the beans. Nevertheless, it’s preferable that you do not mix different scents at a time. Keep to testing those scents that belong to the same scent tone. This way you will not leave the shop with a terrible headache.
• It’s also important to know the different types of perfumes to determine which ones to choose. Ranked from the strongest to the lightest, there is Parfum, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne and perfume mist. Parfum is the strongest and richest one and has a more longevity, while Eau de Toilette is the most commonly used one. Keep in mind that Parfum is much more expensive than Eau de Toilette and it usually comes in a smaller bottle: you need to apply just a small portion of it and you will certainly smell good throughout the day. It’s recommended to have one Parfum for special occasions, and some lighter Eua de Toilettes for everyday wear, as the latter is much more affordable.
• Another tip to bear in mind, is – never tend to get the same fragrance as your friend or colleague is using. Of course, you may like it very much, but you do not know if it is the right one for you. Perfumes smell differently on different people, due to their natural body scent. Use the perfume on such areas where the blood flow is abundant, on your wrist or neck and wait for some time. If you think you like the scent then, hurry to obtain it.
• Another important aspect in the choice of fragrance is the popularity of a fragrance. Today’s fragrance houses release series of fragrances each season. You hear famous brands, such as Gucci, Christian Dior, and Chanel and feel them on other people all around you and cannot stand the temptation. However, taste them for several times and see if you need those fragrances. If not, stick to the ones you are used to. People, who have got used to your permanent fragrances, imagine you the way you are. A bad choice will create another impression.

Study a scent thoroughly before making it your signature scent, since the latter is going to tell much about you. It creates a special aura around you. If you do not need being isolated, think twice before choosing a perfume. Build your own scent and let people associate you with the tasty and fresh lavender, rose or vanilla tastes of your perfume.

Split hair ends make our lives unbearable. Whenever we notice these damaged parts on the tips of our hair, we immediately rush to panic. And, indeed, there is the need, since the tiny ends can then spread throughout the length of the hair and make all of our hair worthless.

Bad quality hair disappoints every girl. Regardless of the precaution means or the care you take of your hair, you may not still be on the safe side, since split ends may knock on your door as well. Indeed, these unwanted ends may appear even on such hair which seems to be healthy. If your hair is short, do not feel at comfort that this problem will not happen to you. Split ends do not recognize “limits”. They may appear on any length, though long hair is most likely to be the first victims.

It is very important not to just get rid of the split ends once from time to time, but rather prevent this catastrophe, which no girl is likely to adore. Poor quality shampoos, wrong way of combing, rough washing, the sun, so many hair styling stuff like hair driers, irons or alike cause our hair damage. In order to make your lives easier and dismiss this nervous situation you face every time the problem arises, follow the beauty tips below to help protect your hair.

How to Treat Split Ends

The first thing we will advise you is immediately trimming your hair. The sooner you get rid of them, the better. The right solution to the problem is not simply getting rid of the unwanted results of your hair, but also finding the reasons and preventing them. Once you get rid of them, the problem should not be closed at this point, since split ends have a tendency to grow fast. First of all, never trust an amateur hair dresser or think of removing the split ends yourself. This will even make the situation worse. There are girls, however, who are in the habit of always playing with their hair, whenever they feel free. Stop walking all around the house with the small and bad quality scissors and cutting off the parts that bother you. This way you will even add the number of them. Turn to a professional hair dresser only. And do this on regular basis.

Depending on the speed your hair grows, visit a salon: the time may vary from a month to some 6 weeks. A regular haircut will not only put an end to the damaged tips of your hair, but make your hair healthy and easy to grow. Even if you do not seem to notice any split ends at the time you are planning to visit a salon, do that anyways. An additional attention will never do you any harm.

Always keep in mind that a small part of the hair above the split ends, should also be cut off. If you are afraid that by having your hair cut at such regular basis, you will soon have short hair, you are mistaken. A frequent haircut makes the hair grow even faster.

How to Prevent Split Ends

Once you have got rid of the split ends, it’s time to think of a healthy care.

Things each girl should always do for her hairs are as follows:

1. Wash your hair correctly. First of all choose a shampoo that matches your hair type properly. Never use your sister’s shampoo or the ones offered at swimming pools since they may not be appropriate to your hair type and by doing so, you may unnoticeably harm your hair.

Apply conditioner every time you wash hair. In contrast to a shampoo, which is normally applied to the scalp or on top of the hair and it later flows down all length clearing your entire hair, conditioners should be applied straight on the hair itself not on the head. You may go for a deep conditioning once every 5 weeks.

2. Minimize the use of chemicals. The more natural your hair is, the more beautiful you will look. Limit the amount of hair dyeing stuff. If you are used to always changing the color of your hair, you are more likely to have lots of damaged hair. First, decrease the use of the chemicals, or if there is a high necessity use those with more natural ingredients, that will at least minimize the damage. Use only high quality shampoos as well. You may take professional ones.

3. Dry your hair naturally. There are girls who do not know how to dry their hair. Please, never rub your hair so roughly with a towel. You break your hair every time you do so and maximize the risk of having split ends. Better squeeze your hair gently with a towel, slightly massaging.

Try to use hair driers as seldom, as possible. Additional heat is number one enemy to your hair.

If you cannot stop using rollers, straightening and curling irons, at least use them from occasion to occasion, and not on daily basis.

4. Learn how to comb the hair correctly. It is strongly prohibited to comb your hair while it is wet. When being wet, the hair is most sensitive. Wait till it dries up and then only start the procedure. Start from the tips, not from the tops. Use a good brush, better a natural bristle one. Do not be too harsh and complete the procedure with patience. By pulling the hair, you will have a hair loss, and secondly new split ends. Too much combing is not a good idea. Do not back comb the hair as well.

5. Wear hair protection accessories, like hats or caps. Whenever you visit a swimming pool or go to the beach, do not stay in the sun with your hair unprotected. The direct sunlight is another factor that can damage your hair. It is necessary that your wear a swimming cap, to protect the hair. What concerns swimming pools, always wash your hair after swimming. Everybody knows that a large amount of chemicals is used to keep the water clean. If those remain on your hair, they will kill the latter. Thoroughly wash your hair and condition.

6. Use moisturizers. When the hair dries, it speeds up the growth of split ends. Do your best to moisturize your hair frequently. Use moisturizers on regular basis. Also make a daily routine to carry a special moisturizing spray with you to protect your hair from the sun.

Once you follow these tips, you will say good-bye to the split ends and will never again be disappointed when studying your hair in front of the mirror.

Following some easy beauty tips, you can instantly make your pale skin look perfect and show off your natural beauty.

Number one step is to find the correct under-eye concealer. Since your skin is pale it is natural that this area will need a special attention, since the blue blood vessels beneath these sensitive parts of your face will be vividly seen. For this reason, you should choose a concealer that is slightly yellowish. It will help you greatly.

The unwanted parts on your face are concealed, so next thing to do is creating a smooth background for the makeup, that is-choosing a correct foundation. A lighter foundation though should be chosen for this respect. Always match the color of the foundation with the color of your neck. You will look natural by doing so.

There is a tendency among girls to use darker foundations when dealing with a pale skin. Dear girls, please avoid this harsh mistake. The choice of a dark foundation makes you look unnatural, as if you are wearing a thick mask. It will also create the impression that you have applied a peeling or other cleansing mask and have forgotten to take it off or wash it away.

Once you have the desired foundation, pass on to your eyes. When it comes to an eye shadow, preference should be given to soft, pastel tones. Nevertheless, if you like dark colors, you can use both darker and brighter shades for evening look. Especially brown goes well with pale face. For special occasions, feel free to create the impression of smoky eyes, which is another trick for highlighting a pale skin.

Brown should prevail in your cosmetics. You can use this color for both in eye-shadows, as well as for mascara or an eye liner. If you do not want to have a harsh look when opting for black mascara, go for a brown one.

To bring life onto your face, you should focus on your cheeks. If your cheeks are pale, use pink and light peach shades of a blush. They look harmonious. If you want to have a more natural look, you can use cream blushes as well. Apply it carefully on the apples of your cheeks with your fingers. Avoid reddish shades, anyways.

And the last thing to do is complete your makeup with a lipstick. You can use lip glosses, which tend to add color to your face, yet let it remain natural. When using a lipstick for a day look, you can go for the same colors as were for your blush.

Any shades of pink, coral will be ok. For evening looks, however, you can take a red lipstick, which will look fantastic on your face. A red lipstick contrasts the paleness of your face and makes you look adorable. A red lipstick has always been the classics of makeup of all times. No one will stand the stunning effect on your lips.

The secret is the following: smudge the eyeliner and then blend it well on the outer corners of the eyes with the help of a damp cotton bud. Or else, with the help of a blending brush you can apply some eye shadow on your eyes.

Eye shadow Trick

Not all colors work for every woman. The key element is to experiment and find out which color works well and what is strictly prohibited. Laura Mercier thinks that no technique will make a woman’s eyes shine the way as the right color will do. She advises those with brown eyes to use gray, blue and brown eye shadows. Those with blue eyes peach, gray, blue, as well as green are perfect. Finally, those with green or hazel colored eyes pink, green, and gold are recommended.

Once you decide the color of the eye shadow, it’s time to choose the way of applying them. Those with close-set eyes are advised to keep the inside corners of an eye lighter than the outside ones. If your eyes are wide-set, do the opposite.

For strange reasons, many people, especially women avoid wearing glasses. They are of the opinion that glasses ruin their appearance, making them look ugly. Some say they are not used to wearing glasses longer than an hour, others simply do not want to carry an additional weight on their nose. No matter what the reason is, the only way to substitute glasses is either having an expensive eye surgery, to correct your eyesight, if it is indeed subject to surgery, or get a pair of lenses. Lenses are a favorite choice not only for those with eyesight problems, but also those who like changing the color of their eyes, by always buying a couple of lenses for different occasions. There are principle rules to follow when using contact lenses, not to harm your eyes. Below are several makeup tips for contact lens wearers that should be followed to avoid any problems in future.

First of all clean your face and wash your hands prior to your makeup procedure. Remove any applied creams or scrubs from your face. If any other substance gets in contact with a contact lens, this can cause a serious infection and irritation of eyes, especially if they are too sensitive. Wash your hands thoroughly with a mild soap and dry them carefully with a clean towel. Handle the lenses with your fingertips. Avoid contact with your fingernails. For safety reasons, keep your fingernails cut short.

Always put the contact lens prior to your makeup. It will be easier for you to start the makeup procedure with the lens already on you. Besides, you will see clearly, how you are applying the makeup.

Always pay attention to the quality and the date of the products. Low quality cosmetics, especially those for eyes, will create unwanted problems for you. Best choice of any smoothing substance is hypoallergic ones. If you are applying powder, then close your eyes, so that nothing falls into them and create irritation. When it comes to an eye-shadow, avoid powder ones too. You can use liquid eye – shadows instead. To finish the makeup of your eyes, apply waterproof mascara. Try not to get too close to the base of your eyelashes. Never apply eyeliner between your lashes and your eye. You can apply it on the area of your lashes that is away from your eye.

It is better to style your hair before the makeup. Since you may be using sprays or hairdryers, the act may be inconvenient and will require much care. You will have to close your eyes before applying the sprays. So, best do your hair first and then pass on to your face.

When it comes to removing the contact lenses, start from the first tip. Wash your hands again, remove softly the lenses first, and then only clean your face with special makeup removers. In order to remove the lenses correctly, look upward or sideways. Gently maneuver the lens onto the white of your eye with a finger, then gently pinch the lens together with your index finger, thumb and lift it off the eye. Do not forget to put the contact lenses back to their place. Keep the latter in a separate case, closed hermetically, so that no contact with any of your perfumes can occur.

It is also necessary that you take care of the lenses on regular basis. You should clean the contact lenses with a cleaning solution and rinse them carefully. Make sure that the cases you keep the lenses in are also cleaned thoroughly. If you are not going to wear the lenses for some period, put the latter in a special disinfecting solution.

If you follow our beauty tips, you will avoid any serious irritation of your eyes. You will have a stunning look without those glasses that always bothered you. Only keep in mind that your eyes need rest. So do not overuse the lenses every single day. Let your eyes rest at least once a week.
