Do Eye Colors Tell People Who You Are?

Did you know that no two people have the exact same eye color? Did you know that every person who has blue eyes comes from the same ancestor? Everyone with blue eyes has a very specific DNA difference.

Green eyes say that you are sexy, mysterious, and feisty.
Green eyes are very rare and instantly hypnotize anyone who gazes into them. Green eyes are classified as a feline feature. Felines are sleek, sexy, and spirited. Green eyes are classed the sexiest of all eye colors. Every eye color typically has just a hint of green mixed in with their main eye color, but having green eyes is extra special.

Nail Art For Weddings

The latest styles and colors for wedding nail art are pinks, frenches, and flowers. We hear that it is getting more and more popular for the bride on her big day, to ask the photographer to take a few distinct pictures, with her groom to show off her nail art design.





Acrylic flowers can be a great wedding nail art idea if you are looking for a relatively unpretentious nail design which would still give your nails rather glamorous look. You can opt for a pink and white combination as it makes your nails be striking but not garish.

Hair Coloring Ideas

Here's a little secret I love sharing with people: Even top beauty editors sometimes skip the salon for a little do-it-yourself hair color. Whether you are a future do-it-yourselfer or stick to the salon, here are the hair color tips you should know about:
You've heard the old adage that gentlemen prefer blondes. "Blondes are sexy, brunettes are sophisticated, and redheads are born attention-getters." I tend to disagree. I think blonde hair can be sexy, sophisticated AND attention-getting A sleek bob that follows the sharp line of the jaw on a woman can be incredibly sophisticated no matter the color, just as a platinum pixie can grab the attention of both men and women. What I do know for sure about blonde hair, is it is expensive to upkeep.
Blonde Hair

The rule of thumb to follow when it comes to blonde hair is this one: If you had blonde hair as a kid, you'll likely look good with blonde hair as an adult. You'll also look good blonde if you have pink skin that burns easily, and blue or green eyes. If your skin has yellow undertones, you may look jaundiced or washed out with hair that's too light. Contrast between your face and hair is important when going blonde. If you have fair skin, the biggest hair color mistake you can make is to go too light. I'm pale and have had my hair too lightened so that my face and my hair looked like one big wash of the same color. The best hair color allows for contrast and shows off the face.
  

Flat Iron Hair Straightening Tips

Some people swear by their GHD flat irons, while others are die-hard CHI advocates, and still others feel naked without their BaByliss. It can definitely be confusing, but if you find a flat iron you like that has the following qualities, you are made:

2. Trim toenails straight across the toe to help diminish your risk for ingrown toenails. Even if long nails look nice when perfectly polished, short nails are far less of a risk.
3. To keep corns and hard skin under control use a foot file, emery board or pumice stone. Don’t cut corns for yourself, or apply ‘over the counter’ lotions or acids unless prescribed by your Podiatrist or Healthcare Practitioner.

How to Get Rid of Pimples and Blemishes

Pimples, blemishes, and acne are the most universal skin care complaints and can be a huge source of embarrassment. Contrary to common belief, this problem is not exclusive to teens and adolescents. Adults often experience acne problems after years of clear skin. Treatment of pimples is somewhat tricky. While there's no quick, homemade cure for those blemishes, putting a stop to major breakouts will greatly reduce your discomfort and chance of scarring.




Prevention

Keep your face clean and don't overscrub it. This will only irritate your skin and make you more prone to breakouts. Wash your face gently twice a day with antibacterial or mild soap, perhaps three times a day for acne prone skin. Do not use harsh soaps and fragrances as they may aggravate pimples.

How to Get Rid of Dark Circles & Puffy Under-Eye Bags

Unless you have surgery, there's no sure way to cure or get rid of circles or bags. By taking some easy steps at home to minimize them, you'll improve the appearance of your eyes and your overall health.

How to Fade Freckles

If you have freckles, you probably either love them or hate them, but before you hate them consider the idea that they can be fun, and many guys are attracted to them. Some girls envy those with freckles! If you're not one to accept nature's cute little spots, you can reduce their appearance, or hide them with makeup. However, there are no easy ways to completely get rid of them.

Consult your dermatologist if you're willing to spend a considerable amount of time and money. There are several different techniques to fade freckles, such as freezing, acid, sanding and laser treatments. This can take several sessions and you're going to experience skin irritation, so it will probably get worse before it gets better.

Skincare for Different Skin Types

Normal Skin

Normal Skin usually looks and feels smooth, but can also react to changes in the environment: oilier in the summer and drier in the winter.

1. Choose foundations and powders for normal skin, or go for a water-based fresh feel.

2. Apply a layer of moisturizer underneath for dry, winter conditions or whenever you enter a parched environment.

3. Keep a pressed powder on hand for oilier moments or more humid days.
