Sexy clothes at work, pros and cons
Posted By: joanwu on
What should you wear at work? Even if there's no dress code or it says you can wear casual style, it's still a big question what you can wear and what you should avoid. Even though these days we propagate free mind and the right to be individual, you know there are certain limits in office clothing that you shouldn't cross. If you represent a serious company, your clothing should be appropriate. What about sexual dress at work? If you want to express your femininity (or manliness of course) in your style, should you stop or should you go?ShopNBC
Sexy clothes attract an attention. Aren't they made for this? If you walk in your workplace in miniskirt and bold décolleté blouse, you will definitely be in the center of attention. Most of people like to hear compliments and revealing cleavage can surely bring you praises but sometimes you can put yourself in ambiguous position by dressing up provocatively. However you should know your rights: no matter how you dress, it's not a reason for sexual harassment. It's important to take care of your appearance, especially if you need to communicate with customers a lot. While you are at work, you should represent the ideas of your working place, not your own standpoint.
However we are not machines and we want to be individual. No company forbids sexual clothes as long as your appearance doesn't disturb your co-workers and customers.ShopNBC You can express your sexuality without wearing provocative clothing. Subtle accessories and outfit that highlights advantages of your figure can gain you more compliments than unfastened shirt or spike heels. As long as you keep you style balanced between too much and too boring, you will be successful.Of course you shouldn't be judged by you dress style, but it's not how it works in the real world. According to several surveys, if people don't dress properly for job, others assume that they don't take their responsibilities seriously. These results might be a little overstated, but there is other common opinion among office workers. If one dresses too provocatively, it can be a sign that he or she is looking for someone to date. And this behavior is often considered improper for business environment.aswechange
Even though a girl or boy who dresses and acts sexy is often considered to be promoted easily, the real life shows that it's the other way around. If you don't look like you are professional, people won't take you as a professional. You might be the most beautiful person on your floor, however you won't get promotion if you don't dress and act seriously.
After all, it's up to you. You can feel sexual and comfortable without looking sloppy. And you can feel professional dressed in too tight costume. Just think for a second what message your style sends to others and do you want it to be this way. Let's admit it; business environment is not suitable for lacy blouse and bright colors; however there are plenty of jobs that don't take dress code too seriously. If you are a bartender, an office suit might look boring. But if your office clothes looks like you have just left a night club, it looks unprofessional.

How to Make Up Your Eyes in 8 Steps
Posted By: joanwu on
1.Prep your eyes with concealer Concealer can be used to cover up undereye circles or just the bluish discoloration just under your inner eye. To cover dark undereye circles, apply three dots of concealer under each eye. Start at the inner corner where skin tends to be darkest, then under the pupil and the third on the outer edge. Pat, never rub with your ring finger (this finger tends to have the softest pad) until it disappears. ShopNBC
2.Apply eye base to your lid Eye base is the secret to keeping your shadow in place for hours. Without properly priming your lid first, your eyeshadow will likely end up a greasy line in your crease.
3.Apply shadow. It's great to use a three-toned shadow and build from lids to brow. ShopNBC
Allowing them to blend into each other like a rainbow is gorgeous, according to celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal. Start with a light color that almost matches your lid. Sweep the color across the lid and up to your browbone. Follow with a medium color across your lid only. Build on this with a darker color in the crease. Blend the colors well.
4.Follow with eyeliner Dark eyeshadows work great as eyeliners. Wet a slanted brush, then dip in a dark eyeshadow. Line eyes as close to the upper lashes as possible from the inner corner to the outer corner. Follow with liner on bottom eyes, but only line from the middle of the eye out. Smudge the bottom line with a Q-tip or your finger. You don't want a prominent line. For a smokey eye, use a brush to pat in a dark eyeshadow along the upper lid and below the lid.aswechange You don't want a stark line, instead you want to blend it so it's 'smudge-y.'
6.Highlight your brow Take the same highlighter and dab it on your browbone, concentrating on your mid-brow outward. Blend with your finger.
7.Curl lashes An eyelash curler will make even long lashes look more gorgeous. For added effect, you can heat the curler under a blowdryer for a couple seconds. Test curler before applying to lashes because you could burn yourself.aswechange
8.Apply mascara Place the wand of your mascara brush at the bottom of lashes and wiggle back and forth. Follow with another few sweeps of the wand. Apply to bottom lashes as well.

permanent make up
Posted By: joanwu on
Once we put on some makeup, we want it to stay on face, but what happens if the weather is rainy or it's a hot sunny day? How often you lip liner melts away? What if you want to highlight your beauty, but you have no time to put on make up every morning? Permanent makeup can be your salvation. There are many reasons why people choose this type of make up, but the main reason is always the same: people want to look good.ShopNBC
Permanent make-up (also known as micropigmentation or permanent cosmetics) is similar to tattoos, but it's not as visible and outstanding. It's meant to enhance natural facial features or to mimic regular make up. Most people think of pain and unnatural look when it turns to permanent makeup, but both of these statements are more myths than truth. Small amounts of pigments are injected into dermal layer and this procedure causes discomfort, but anesthetic drugs are used during the process, so the procedures are not painful. And the color palette is as wide as you can imagine, so it's not like they have only red color for lips and single black for eyebrows. Skin infection is another popular myth which can be true if you choose permanent make-up to be done by amateur. Specialists in legal beauty clinics use proper sterilization, so skin infections are not possible.
ShopNBCPermanent makeup might be the only way to highlight facial features for some people. If you are allergic to cosmetics, there are a few makeup means you can use, but you have a green light for permanent makeup. If your skin is extra oily, regular cosmetics won't do any good. And if there's nothing wrong with your skin, just think of how convenient it might be: with permanent makeup your face will be highlighted even without any topically applied cosmetics. If you're a busy person it might be difficult to take your time and look as best as you could.
Permanent make up can "fix" facial features that you find imperfect. If you think your lips are too thin or asymmetrical, permanent cosmetics can be used to add some fullness by inserting dye around natural lip line. If your eyebrows are very thin or light, a specialist can create a new look using micropigmentation. Eyeliner and change of lip color are other popular procedures.
aswechange Once you decide you want permanent makeup, there are several things you have to consider. Permanent cosmetics remain visible for several years, then the make up starts to fade away. Choose the color of make-up carefully: if you go for some seasonal trends, you may hate your makeup after just 5 or 6 months. Think natural: glorious red lips will stun everyone, but do you really want to look that way 24/7? Allergic reaction to pigments is pretty rare, but make sure you do the allergy test before those pigment are used all over your face. Choose reputable beauty clinic for this kind of makeup; if you choose cheap beauty salon and non-specialist person, there's much more possibility for things to go wrong. Remember that the permanent make-up will stay on you face for several years as the removal is quite complicated.

Spring 2008 makeup trends
Posted By: joanwu on
Spring is a great time to renew your image and try out new things. What items should you have in your cosmetics bag? Make-up artists and designers suggest a bold and bright image for the spring 2008. The colors dedicated for make-up are so playful and bold that you need to be a real fashionista to wear them. On the other hand: let the spring be colorful and bright!
Flushed cheeks is one of the loveliest trends of spring 2008. Soft and cute flush is recommended for both daytime makeup and evening makeup. Pinky peach blush fits even the most bold lip color for that special occasion; it also works well to enlighten natural looking makeup for the day. It's the best way to highlight face features and make you look fresh.
http://www.shopNBC.comThree big tendencies dominate the lip make-up area. Nude lips effect is still very popular, especially when combined with smokey eyes and natural-looking blush. The trend of nude lips does not mean you can't use lipstick or gloss; feel free to add some color and a bit of shimmer, but keep it natural. If you're not into natural look, you won't miss if you choose classic red. This color is right for every season, that's why it's called classic. If the image of fatal woman doesn't attract you at all, try sheer red lipstick. Be careful about other makeup details while wearing the classic red lipstick: it's a very strong accent and you really don't need black eyeliner or strong blush. The third tendency is the funniest one, because it suggests candy-colored lips. This trend won't look good on elder women, however if you're a teen or if you feel young forever, orange, pink, hot coral and even fuchsia are the hottest colors of spring 2008. A candy color on lips is quite a bold statement, so one shouldn't overdo other details.http://www.aswechange.com
Natural beauty becomes more and more trendy. Full eyebrows are the hottest look of spring 2008. They should be well groomed, but excessively thin arches are out of the question. You may even want accentuate them with dark colored liner because the strong eyebrows is going to be the most popular. Matte foundation is another natural-looking trend. You don't want your skin to be glossy on spring 2008. Even bronzers are matted especially if you use them on face.
http://www.shopNBC.comIf bold lips are not for you, bold eye make-up is recommended for this season as well. Both pastel and bright metallic eyeshadows are going to be popular. Pastel eyeshadow is meant to match trendy multicolored layers and floral patterns of clothing. Choose light green, lilac and eggshell blue to achieve the trendiest look. If pastel tones seem to be too boring for you, go for Crayola Colors. Choose only one color as this image is very bold and playful and you don't want to end up looking like anime heroine. Choose shiny metallics and liquid eyeliner for evening make-up. Shimmer on eyelids is the top look for evening as well as the cat eyes image. http://www.aswechange.comIf shine and sparkles don't attract you, remember the classic smokey eyes make-up; it's popular once again.
Eye makeup is not completed if you forget your lashes. Heavy and even fake-looking eyelashes are going to be the most popular. Remember that the longer, the better, but be moderate. Fake eyelashes are also acceptable, but use only a half of a strip and place it to the outer part of your lash line for the wow effect.
