Permanent Make-up Correction Options and Camouflage and Corrective Services are Well Received at Long-Time-Liner

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) April 15, 2013

The modern woman seeks effortless beauty, naturally defined features, and more free time. So she looks to permanent cosmetics to enhance her beauty and simplify her life. Luckily, the modern woman has many options when she chooses where to receive her services. Like any industry, there are primitive methods, cutting edge, state of the art techniques, and everything in between. Unfortunately, in the past, there were not so many options, and many were literally permanent changes.

Today, there are many women living with choices they made in the 80s and 90s concerning their permanent beauty. Methods consist of soft-tap, where a technician manually imbeds drops of color into the skin through a tapping method of a very sharp knife, and more. There is tattoo make-up, where a tattoo artist uses an actual tattoo gun to draw shapes into the delicate flesh of the face. Then, permanent cosmetic machines, developed to be gentler and more precise, have emerged and run the gamut of cheap and rudimentary contraptions to highly developed and meticulously engineered pieces of machinery. Whatever the method, some technicians, pigments, or devices can leave permanent damage to the skin, and the overall look of the clients' face.

These past mistakes have created a rise in demand for corrective services. Over time, a womans face will change, due to gravity, the aging process and exposure to the sun and environment. Permanent make-up also changes. The colors fade, migrate beneath the skin and blur. Strong pigments hang on, while weaker pigments exfoliate and metabolize from the skin.

Ageless Derma Launches Their Latest Mineral Makeup Line: Natural Anti-Aging Ingredients and Sun Protection Included

Anaheim, California (PRWEB) May 07, 2013

Ageless Derma has just added to their natural anti-aging bevy of products with a mineral makeup line. The makeup contains anti-aging ingredients in addition to providing protection against the ravages of the sun with 100% pure minerals.

In keeping with Ageless Dermas dedication to using natural ingredients in the anti-aging skin care trend, their latest introduction of mineral makeup more than lives up to their high standards. The makeup is manufactured using completely pure minerals of the earth in addition to other clinically proven ingredients that enhance the skin instead of camouflaging it.

The minerals used in Ageless Derma makeup are finely crushed minerals that work to provide the skin with comprehensive, all-over coverage. Some of the natural minerals of the earth used in this product line include boron nitride, mica, iron oxide, titanium oxide, and zinc oxide. These minerals allow the makeup to feel light and airy on the skin, yet the colors are intense. The pure minerals in Ageless Dermas makeup reflect light, contain rich pigments, and allow the face to glow with a renewed, more youthful radiance.

The sunscreen protective effects of mineral makeup are what actively help keep aging wrinkles in check. The sun is an enemy of the skin, its UVA and UVB rays attacking collagen, elastin fibers and causing free radical damage. The zinc oxide and titanium oxide in Ageless Dermas mineral makeup products will provide natural protection from the sun with an SPF factor of up to 20. Skin damage that is evidenced by fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven skin tone can be warded off with the application of mineral makeup. The pure minerals reflect light instead of absorbing it. They are also anti-inflammatory agents, helpful for those with rosacea or acne conditions. When applied evenly over the skin, Ageless Dermas mineral makeup will give the user sun protection in addition to the beautifying qualities of the various cosmetics used.

The mineral boron nitride gives Ageless Dermas mineral makeup its light velvety texture with a matte finish, and it will fill in fine lines as it also moisturizes the skin. Mica will reflect light, making the skin appear to glow with youth. The various iron oxides provide the deep, desirable colors of the makeup. Other minerals allow the makeup to stay put for a lasting effect, add moisture, and soften the skin.

In order to approach and correct the deeper causes of skin aging, Ageless Derma places powerfully effective, yet all natural, ingredients into their mineral makeup. Natural anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatories, wrinkle-reducing agents, moisturizers, vitamins and botanicals are placed within each of their mineral makeup products. Essential anti-aging ingredients such as green tea extracts and Vitamins A and E are found in most of these makeup products.

According to Rachel Goodyear, the Esthetician at Ageless Derma, Our mineral makeup products feel very light on the skin, unlike most other foundation makeups. Your skin is allowed to breathe while it is also protected against the suns aging rays with minerals that are incorporated right into your makeup.

The Ageless Derma mineral makeup items include a wide range of shades of lipsticks and lip glosses. The company also offers mineral blushes, pressed mineral foundations, pressed mineral eye shadows, mascaras, loose mineral foundations, and eyebrow kits, all available in a variety of shades to suit every individual need. Some of the mineral makeup items include complimentary products, such as brushes or sponges, with specific purchases.

The Ageless Derma company is at the forefront of anti-aging innovations. They are dedicated to researching and providing the most cutting edge skin care products in current development. The ingredients used in their products have been developed, tested, and approved by dermatologists and scientists for their efficacy and safety of use.

TheBeautyPlace.com Features Beauty Trends in Skin Care, Hair Care, and Makeup for 2013

Miami, FL (PRWEB) January 10, 2013

TheBeautyPlace.com's lead beauty consultant, Rebecca, guides clients to beauty products that nourish soft skin and maintain healthy, shiny-looking hair. She recommends the use of mineral makeup with antioxidants and vitamins. "In 2013, the best beauty products accentuate a client's natural beauty! stated Rebecca.

For soft skin, applying a moisturizer after a shower or bath is ideal. A body moisturizer locks in moisture and, if applied consistently to rough areas like elbows, knees, and feet, a dramatic improvement in texture and smoothness will be noticed. Rebecca recommends a Body Firming Cream because it increases skin firmness within 15 minutes of application and can contain ingredients like Vitamin C, soy flour and oat kernel extract known for their ability to repair skin's DNA.

For creating a blowout hairstyle with body and movement on busy mornings, Rebecca recommends an Express Blow Dry Lotion. A blow dry lotion applied on damp hair contains micro-heat conductors that accelerate the drying process while protecting hair from damage. The hairstyling product seals the cuticle to prevent frizz and maintain a hairstyle that lasts all day without frizz or flyaways.

"If you are going to wear makeup, make it mineral makeup," stated Rebecca. Mineral makeup is popular for containing natural ingredients offering the desired coverage, antioxidants with anti-aging benefits, and ingredients that do not clog pores. Rebecca stated Glo Minerals Pressed Base, a triple-milled powder, is ideal for all skin types.

TheBeautyPlace.com is a leading online company of top brands at affordable prices. From skin care to hair care and everything beauty, TheBeautyPlace.com strives to offer clients and prospective clients excellent customer service and fast shipping of beauty products right to their door.

Makeup with Benefits: Anti-Aging Color

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) February 20, 2013

Women use makeup to enhance their natural features or camouflage discolorations and wrinkles. There are lots of excellent products to address those beauty needs, but why stop with simply covering up the signs of aging when you can simultaneously address the concern? As Cosmetics Cop Paula Begoun puts it, Why not use makeup to get younger-looking skin, too?

Research shows that using makeup with proven anti-aging ingredients can reduce signs of sun damage, smooth fine lines, and stimulate collagen for firmer skin. The trick is knowing which ingredients to look for and not falling for over-the-top claims.

Paula Begoun and her research team compiled savvy tips on what to look for, which kinds of anti-aging makeup really deliver results, and how to get the good stuff for less.

Knowing What to Look For:

Before shopping, know this: Expensive makeup isnt better for skin. Many inexpensive brands have developed makeup that include the antioxidants, skin-repairing, and cell-communicating ingredients that skin needs to look and act younger.

When it comes to anti-aging makeup, the most important factors are the ingredient list and how the product is packagednot the brand name and claims. Look for fragrance-free makeup thats formulated with a cocktail of cell-communicating ingredients and antioxidants such as niacinamide and vitamin C.

Packaging also matters: Delicate ingredients (like retinol) need stable, air-tight and opaque packaging in order to remain effective.

Avoid anti-aging makeup that comes in a jar or a compact, because any anti-aging ingredients will be compromised by air and light from the first time the container is opened.

Anti-Aging Makeup That Works:

Wrinkle Fillers

Wrinkle fillers work to smooth skins surface and temporarily fill in fine lines and deeper wrinkles which help keep makeup from slipping into lines. The best ones give skin anti-aging ingredients, too. A silky, spackle-like product such as philosophy Deep Fill Fix Instant Line Filler and Long-Term Wrinkle Smoother ($ 34) is ideal, and the pen-style applicator is easy to use.

Foundation

When it comes to anti-aging foundations, the formula and the finish are the two most important things to keep in mind. The ingredient list of an anti-aging foundation should include plenty of antioxidants, and a cocktail of other skin-beneficial ingredients such as ceramides. For a fragrance-free option, try Paulas Choice RESIST Anti-Aging Foundation ($ 24.95); it blends easily and creates a smoother, more even skin tone while treating skin to antioxidants, resveratrol and anti-aging peptides.

Concealer

For fine lines and wrinkles, a lightweight liquid concealer with a satin finish is bestespecially if it has sunscreen. L'Oreal Paris Visible Lift Serum Age-Reversing Concealer SPF 20 ($ 12.95) cant visibly lift skin, but the thin liquid texture provides lasting coverage of dark circles or discolorations, which automatically makes skin look younger. Its fragrance-free, comes in a convenient pen-style applicator, and provides broad-spectrum sun protection an essential anti-aging benefit.

Finishing Powder

Research shows that sun damage causes most signs of aging, so its a good idea to use powder with sunscreen for an additional measure of protection. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Pressed Powder SPF 20 ($ 11.99) sets foundation beautifully, making it a great addition to an everyday moisturizer with sunscreen.

Lip Primer

The best anti-aging lip primers not only fill in fine lines on the lips to create a smoother appearance, they also help repair sun damage and stimulate collagen production for younger-looking lips over time. Mary Kay TimeWise Age-Fighting Lip Primer ($ 22) does all of that, is easy to apply, and works perfectly under lipstick.

Makeup Solutions for Those Short on Time

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) April 15, 2013

Ever wonder how some women manage to look pulled-together no matter how little time they have? Whats their secret for looking perfectly made up in under five minutes? Cosmetics Cop Paula Begoun and the Paulas Choice Research Team have the answer with a makeup routine that only takes five minutes to accomplish.

The first step: Transfer go-to makeup items into a smaller makeup bag. Since only five products are necessary for an everyday look (even for the office), the other items would just get in the way and waste time.

Stop the Makeup Mistakes That Age You

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) April 23, 2013

Theres no lack of makeup products claiming to make women look younger and more beautiful. But using the wrong techniques (or following well-meaning, but ultimately bad, advice) can make someone look much older than their years. Internationally-known Cosmetics Cop Paula Begoun and the Paulas Choice Research Team have a few tips and tricks to help women successfully achieve a more youthful appearance.

Botched brows: Whether brows are sparse due to genetics or overzealous tweezing, trying to correct this issue with a greasy pencil or heavy dark powder thats theatrically drawn on does not make things better. Subtly filling in brows with a powder or dry-finish pencil can change a dated appearance to a fresh one in seconds. Make sure to match the pencil or brow powder to the actual brow hair color, or, if brows are blonde, go one shade darker. A contrasting color sticks out.

On the other end of the spectrum are too thick, overly bushy brows, which look anything but soft. Our best recommendation for fixing this is to place a smooth arch at the back 1/3 corner of the eye. Not sure how to do that? See an eyebrow professional.

Erase eyeliner exaggeration: Smokey eyes can be sexy, but eyeliner thats too smudged can make eyes look sunken. Add definition around the eye using a small- tip eyeliner with a powder finish that stays put. Also, watch out for how much moisturizer is applied around the eyes. If its too emollient and placed directly under the lashes, chances are the liner will smear dramatically. Check out Maybelline Expertwear Defining Liner ($ 6) or M.A.C. Technakohl Liner ($ 15).

Lip liner lapses: Some people think lining past the natural lip line will add the illusion of volume, but actually it often makes lips appear smaller -- the opposite of what most women want. Also, avoid lining lips with a much darker color; thats a dated look that only serves as a distraction. Gorgeous, versatile lip liners are available from LOreal, Revlon, and Clinique.

Mineral makeup messes: Despite the marketing mania surrounding mineral powder foundations, theyre not for everyone. Mineral powder foundations can make lines look more pronounced, and make dry skin look drier -- even with moisturizer underneath. Check out our top picks for other types of foundations here.

Choose colors carefully: Certain eyeshadow and blush shades look out of place and gaudy. Blue, green, purple, or pink should be completely avoided because they will draw attention to your eyes in an old-fashioned way. Looking dated or retro doesnt work for those looking to achieve a younger appearance. Instead, try eyeshadow in neutral tones like tan, brown, and taupe, and blush in soft pink or pale coral shades; these are universally youthful colors. Also be careful of shine, as it can make wrinkles and sagging around the eyes more apparent.

Fixing foundation folly: Heavy or obvious-looking foundation does not create a younger look, and the same goes for concealer. Go for sheer formulas such as Paulas Choice Barely There Sheer Matte Tint SPF 30 ($ 14.95) or Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 ($ 43), and blend, blend, blend.

Foundation advice to avoid: There is no one technique for applying foundation that ensures a younger look. Each person must find the method that works best for them, whether its their fingers, a foundation brush, or a sponge. Yes, that does mean trial and error, but it will lead to the best process for you.

Barely blushing blush: Too much blush can be aging, but not enough can make a person appear washed out or sallow. Try to achieve a happy medium by only using a subtle amount of blush that provides the skin with a warm glow. When applying blush, start on the apple of your cheek, which is where most of us naturally blush. A blush with a touch of subtle shine can be beautiful; we like NYX Cosmetics Blush ($ 5) and Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Cream Blush ($ 24).

TheBeautyPlace.com Features The Newest Red Carpet Tested Animal Cruelty Free Skin Care and Makeup

(PRWEB) June 12, 2013

Many of the products families use everyday are still being tested on animals. Cosmetics like toothpaste and mascara are characteristically tested on rabbits and guinea pigs. Luckily, times are changing and numerous companies are turning to humane alternatives in order to become cruelty-free products.

The good news is that there are a large amount of cosmetic and hair-care lines that produce products that are not tested on animals. TheBeautyPlace.com wants to give tribute to a few brands that PETA named cruelty-free. There are many cosmetic companies that are able to meet all of the cosmetic worlds demands yet do not test their products on animals. They offer a variety of eye shadow colors, bronzers, mascaras etc. that are all stamped safe and cruelty-free.

There are many ways to test products without the use of animals. Animal testing in cosmetics involves testing either a finished product or the individual ingredients of a finished product on animals. In many cases, the products or ingredients are applied to the mucous membranes of the animals including eyes, nose, and mouth to determine whether they cause allergic or other reactions. Brands like Bosley, Nioxin, Rusk and Tan Towel are all brands that should be noticed for powering against the fight of animal cruelty.

There are other avenues to gain the same results. For instance, Re-using existing test data obtained from previous animal testing is generally not considered to be cosmetic testing on animals. Contrary to popular idea, non-animal methods usually are less time consuming than the rough archaic animal tests that they replace. They also cost only a small part of what animal experiments cost and are increasingly more effective because the results are not affected by species differences; Which when comparing experimental conclusions to humans makes applying the test results s difficult or impossible.

There are efficient, inexpensive, and humane research methods. Just to name a few are in vitro, genomic, and computer-modeling techniques as well as studies of human populations, volunteers, and patients.

HomeThangs.com Introduces Six Tricks to Getting a Bathroom Makeup Station Without a Custom Built Vanity

(PRWEB) June 14, 2013

HomeThangs.com the Online Home Improvement Store has made their goal to deliver the right product to the consumer. With that in mind, shopping and home design tips, as well as special product selections are being introduced.

Typically, bathrooms with dressing tables are big bathrooms with custom made cabinetry. Most pre-made bathroom vanities, even larger ones, are made of solid continuous cabinets without the interruption needed to be able to sit and apply makeup comfortably. But not everyone wants or can afford a set of custom cabinetry, so HomeThangs.com has introduced a few simple workarounds to building a permanent dressing table from a pre-made bathroom vanity.

1. Table Style Bathroom Vanities

The simplest way to merge the functionality of a bathroom vanity and dressing table, especially in a small bathroom, is to opt for a table style bathroom vanity. These tend to be very basic, nixing cabinet storage in favor of wide open leg room that leaves enough open space to sit comfortably in front of it. Though this type of vanity is obviously a little short on storage, its the simplest way to get a make up station without any custom work.

2. Very Wide Vanity

Wider table style bathroom vanities work even better, especially ones with an offset sink. This layout leaves more room for hair care products, makeup, and toiletries, and allows for more storage space at either side without blocking leg room. Of course, this set up requires a much larger mirror, preferably a frameless one at least as wide as the vanity for the greatest ease of use.

3.More Traditional Cabinet Style

Though they tend to be few and far between, there are modular pre-made cabinets designed for a larger bathroom that include makeup stations. Though these are only a step or two away from custom cabinetry, because each piece is manufactured individually, large modular vanities can be much less expensive than the real thing.

4. Wall Mounted Vanities

Wall mounted bathroom vanities can also be used to create a makeshift dressing table, but doing so requires some care. Because these bathroom vanities can easily be mounted at any height, its not terribly difficult to mount one at a height thats comfortable both for standing and sitting. That said, this will only work with vanities that are relatively short, or that have very thin counters that extend from the main body of the vanity. Otherwise, they wont be comfortable to sit at.

5. Build A Bridge

For thicker wall mounted vanities, look for modular designs with pieces made to bridge two or more vanities together. Again, this will likely need a non-standard mirror to work well, but a simple bridge is a relatively inexpensive addition that creates just enough space to sit between two larger vanities. Essentially, this creates a wide double vanity with a dressing table in the middle, without the expense of having the cabinetry custom made.

6. Extended Counter Tops

Wall mounted vanities with counters that extend out to one side are ideal for use as dressing tables, as they offer not only a full sized vanity for storage but also a rather roomy dressing table. And again, because wall mounted vanities can be installed at any height, theyre easily matched to a preferred height without a whole wall-length cabinet built to match.

To see more bathroom vanities with makeup stations, or for more ideas on how to build one, read the full article here.

HomeThangs.com is not only a home improvement superstore, it also provides expert design tips and a comprehensive shopping guide, taking the ideas from professional interior designers, and offering tips to the consumers on how to pick the products to best suit their needs.

Top 10 Tips for Better Makeup Performance Presented by Beauty Research

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) May 21, 2013

Women in the United States spend roughly $ 7 billion per year on cosmetics, including eye makeup, foundation, concealer, powder, blush and lip color products. Despite the fact that most women have very large cosmetics collections, many are dissatisfied with the results that they receive from makeup, particularly in terms of how long the cosmetics remain visible during the day without the need for reapplication. The latest article by Beauty Research, Top 10 Tips for Better Makeup Performance, examines the issue of poor makeup performance and provides tips and suggestions to help women get more mileage out of their makeup.

Many women report that when they leave home for the day or evening, their makeup looks flawless, but that within a few hours time, they notice a big difference in the appearance of their faces. Cosmetics seem to fade away or wear off in certain spots on the complexion. Why do cosmetics seem to disappear so quickly? What factors influence makeup performance? Is it all a matter of environmental conditions, or is there something else at play? To find out, visit BeautyResearch.com or click:

Eye and lip makeup products can dramatically change a woman's appearance and accentuate her most beautiful features. Many women invest a lot of time applying cosmetics to their eyes and lips, but it seems that these areas are trouble zones when it comes to poor makeup performance. Why do cosmetics disappear from the eye and lip areas far more quickly than makeup applied to other parts of the face? Is there any way to extend the life of eye and lip makeup either through skin care products or the selection of cosmetics products? To find out, visit BeautyResearch.com or click:

As women age, they often find that their makeup fades more quickly than it did when they were younger. It can also be more difficult for women with mature skin to apply their cosmetics correctly in areas that are plagued by wrinkles, loose skin tissue or chronic dryness.
