color is enough whereas during night, add little more color or glitz with light dusting of Sacha’s Satin Powders.

Start by brushing your brows with a brow brush. Then to measure the brows hold a pencil vertically along the outer corner of your nose to the inner edge of the brow. If your brows overlap into the bridge remove the excess hair. If the brows are small in length then extend it with a pencil. To find out the point where your brow should end, hold the pencil from the outer corner of the nose across the corner of the eyes to the outer edge of the brow. This is the point where the brow should end.

Brows can be altered or emphasized. For that, a brow pencil or brow powders can be used.

TIPS:

1. Always select a brow color, which is very natural in color. The main objective is to define the brow and not create it. To fill in the brows first comb it well and then use feather like stokes with your pencil to fill in. Combing it again after
filling it can create a more natural look. Sacha’s dark brown Single eye shadow is very effective in case of darker brows.
2. If you are using a powdered brow color, then use a hard bristled angle brow brush and draw tiny hair like strokes. The Brow pencils should be sharpened and use in the same way as a brush. A disposable mascara wand can be used to soften it. The technique is to comb, apply and then comb again.
3. If your brows are closer to your eyes or lower, then your face could be opened up by bleaching them.

Proper application technique is very important to apply mascara to get the required finish. Make sure that the mascara covers the lashes from the root to the tip. While you apply mascara on your upper lashes, wiggle the mascara rod back and forth at the base of the lashes to deposit color before rolling the brush through your lashes. The lashes should be coated from very base to the tip with full strokes. By this method the lashes will look much thicker with ends separated and base well defined.

While applying mascara on lower lashes, hold the wand vertically and run this from side to side. Be very careful not to make the under eye area dirty.

When you apply more number of coats, combing in between the coats will help to prevent clumping. Mascara can create a natural effect on eyebrows with some extra control.

TIPS:

If your mascara is new and there is more deposit on the rod you are using to apply, tissue off the rod before applying so as to avoid smudging.

To get more quantity on the brush twirl the brush. Pumping will cause the product to dry out sooner.

Try different colors of mascara preferably brown, navy blue or green.

1. Liquid Foundation or Cream Foundation

1. Epidermis is the outer layer i.e. the skin that we see and feel. It is the protective covering of our body. No blood vessels are present in this layer but some nerve endings are there and are made up of five layers of cells. The pigment melanin is found in this layer. This melanin protects the sensitive cells underneath from harmful radiation of sun. More melanin is produced if exposed for a greater time.

2. Dermis is the layer located just below the epidermis. This layer contains nerve endings and hence is extremely sensitive.  It also contains numerous blood vessels, lymph vessels, sweat glands, sebaceous glands and hair follicles and all these are held together by the collagen and elastic fibers and thereby giving strength and resilience to the skin.
Every hair follicle contains sebaceous gland, which produces sebum. Production of excess sebum makes your skin oilier. If the neck of sebaceous gland got blocked then the sebum accumulates there causing acne. If the production of sebum is insufficient then it causes a dry skin.

Teenage time can be the best or worst time in your life depending on the hormonal activity. In general puberty is considered as the bad time for skin.

If you were not a victim of acne and pimples during your teenage years, then it is more likely that your 20’s and 30’s can be trouble free. In your 20’s, your skin will be in the best form. But, it can be badly affected by other factors like
allergies, hormonal imbalance, stress and exposure to the elements.

During your 30’s the skin may begin to lose the glow of youth. You may notice dryness and fine lines on your skin. The skin seems to be over sensitive and needs much more care during this time.

During your 40’s the production in hormones reduces and the skin begins to lose its tone and elasticity and as a result of this, wrinkles and fine line starts to appear. While these things happen as your age increases, these can be controlled or minimized to some extend by properly caring for your skin. You have to do cleansing, toning and moisturizing your skin twice a day to rejuvenate and revive the skin.

By this time you will have better understanding of your skin and how it works and it is obvious that you will appreciate that it is the time to start caring for your skin.
