10 New Beauty Commandments,,,,

Since there's no much customer and I'm extremely free in the office. I've pick a mag and found the topic interesting as I'm really into beauty. Haha.... The 10 new baeuty commandments. Beauty commandments aren't set in stone. As skincare evolves, so do the rules. Your days of the following the old ones are over. Here are the 10 fresh commandments - revised and duly sworn to work for the modern age. Here goes the list......

1) Thou Shalt Forget The 3 Steps...

Pls... Pls... In the modern society, 3 steps is not working anymore. It's 7 steps now ! You can always remember the 3 step regime that your mum have taught you. But, as today's ladies we tend to know more and desires more for our skin. Now we need 7 steps ti keep our skin healthy and happy. We still need to cleanse, tone and moisturerise, but don't ever forget to add in these 4 steps. Apply eye cream to the delicate area ard your peepers; using a serum (or essence) before applying moisturiser help to boost the efficacy of the latter ( most serums also have beneficial qualities of their own); next please do protect your skin with a daily sunscreen or with a make-up base that comes with SPF and last but not least the foundation. Foundation now are being considered the last step of our daily skin care - especially those that offer skincare benefits, for eg. lifting, hydrating or with an anti-blemish choices. Why ? It's simply b'coz foundation, like skincare, is that means to an end in the pursuit of a flawless complexion. Well, we do need a good skin and an even base to start so make-up can go on smoothly.

2) Thou Shalt Wear Sunscreen All Over...

Sunscreen for the face is just not enough. In actual fact, we need it everywhere ! Y ? It's b'coz thr's no point in flaunting a radianf, bright complexion if the harmful rays are frying the rest of our / your gorgeous body. So, please do soothe lips with a lip balm that comes with SPF protection and slather on sunscreen on exposed areas such as the back or your neck, decolletage, arms, shoulders and even eye-lids. I'm sure you definitely don't welcome the dark spots anyway on the body.

3) Thou Shalt Go Nude...

As known, the bare-faced look has been popular since the 90s but please note that the new nude has been reinterpreted to mean a face with a hint of natural colors at all the right places. Blushers use on the cheeks are flushed with the softest hint, the puckers are pink and healthyadn our complexion shows enough skin that radiates with an even glow. It's not a good make-uo if the face is devoid with make-up and colors. It's a cardinal sin in the today's beauty bible if they walked out like that. Nude faces do need a lit'l help - cover uo with a base that corrects a dull, ashen complexion and also smooths out an uneven skintone. Try starting off with a tinted moisturiser or a liquid foundation that offers an ultra-sheer and dewy finish. Likewise, nude doesn't equate with a zombie like brown or boring earthy tones. The new nude make up colors include rose pink, apricaot and coral. Even the metallics shades like gold, bronze and copper fits tje look as long as we keep it sheer, natural and of coz pretty. Try making it interesting by mixing up the textures like shimmer with matte, or sating with gloss if you really like all things in brown.

4) Thou Shalt Use Foundation Only Where needed...

Don't be liberal but be prudent with liquid foundation. Most of the girls out there think that they've got to cover their entire face with it. Please don't treat the foundation as a war paint, expecting it to camouflage every pore in your skin ! Instead, investing in the one that not only matches your flesh tone, but it's very blendable. This will allow you to build the the coverage whenever necessary. It's a trent to treat your foundation like a concealer. This will show not only your real skin, it allows your skin to breath as well. By applying the foundation only where needed, such as spotty, uneven areas, or areas that need mattifying such as T-Zones, and by blending it outwards till it merges seamlessly in your natural skin. Yuor complexion looks smoother and better, yet less cakey by making up this way.

5) Thou Shalt Love Your Eyeliner...

Eyeliner can be worn as eye shadow apsrt from defining your eyes. Pencil eye liners are very easy t0 use, they do provide a deeper intensity of the sahde compared to eye shadows. The eye liners are great for creating bold eyes too. Simply slant your eye liner anf shade your lips with them. Do ensure your pencil eye liner is "moist" enough to shade smoothly. A blunt tip or rounded eye liners would also work better in this case. For hard pencil eye liners, do warm the tip with your fingers first to prevent too much tugging on your delicate eyelids. Layer oveer the liner with powder eyeshadow in a similiar shade to ensure that it doesn't snudge or crease throughout the day.

6) Thou Shalt Dress Up Your Hair...

We properly could afford an island now if we collected a tinggit everytime we saw a woman walk by with wash-and-go hair ! Is your hair colored ? That is still not qualify as dressed up tresses. Y u might ask ? It's b'cuz they're usually crying out for re-touching or a shine boost. Even with a fantastic hair cut, we do need a lit'l bhelping hand in the form of styling product to give it an extra uuummmp ! Do bear in mind that a low maintainece hair doesn't mean "0" maintainance. All you need is 5 mins and the right product to achieve a fab hair. For volume, just wash and spritz on a volumising product; to enchance curls, scrunch in some mousse; to jazz up the locks, shape sections of hair with moulding wax. Even a long, straight manes deserve a boost. To add lustre, just slick on a shine serum. Y not add a preety clip to licks, while you are at it. U'll be turning heads in no time.

7) Thou Shalt not overslept...

Enough of sleep is good as we need it to repair the skin and recharge our body. Snoozing too much is just as bad as sleeping too lit'l. A reserch has shown that people who rest more than 8 hrs a day are reported to be fatique, grogginess and lethargy. Extended hours in bed can stifle circulation too; your skin cud look all the more worn and puffy for it. So, wat are you still waiting for ?????? Get up from bed and go for exercise !

8) Thou Shalt Groom Your Digits...

Anthing that makes us feel more polished deserves to become a commandment. This is one instance where looking natural doesn't cut in ! Do get rid of chapped, dry cuticles. file nails into a neat shape and paint them in your fave color - be it sophisticated burgundy or understated pink. Ooooh.... don't forget your toe nails too, Feet look so much sexier in peep-toe heels when you've pedicure done.

9) Thou Shalt Treat Your Hands With Respect...

Hands are hardly glanced cus we are to obsess over evry line that appears on our face. But do you know or notice "how hands are the first to show the signs of ageing ? Age spots and wrinkly hands are uncommon before u hit 30. Before going to bed everynight, massage your hand with a hand cream to keep them smooth n soft. There are some anti-ageing and whitening creams specifically for them are being introduced by some beauty brands.

10) Thou Shalt Match Scent With Fashion...

Do you wear your scent according to your moods ? Yamn.. Double Yawn.. if you are sticking to the same scent everyday. The new commandment states that u shud wear a scent to match your threads. For mysterious, perfumes with slightly spicy or musky note. This scent is perfect with glamorous dresses. A a scent that are crisp n clean, like sth inspired by water when you are in athletic gear. When u are in a flirty skirt do spritz on a girlie scent and ooze confidence in a classic scent on days you don on your power suit.
