Combatting Lip Lines

Friday, August 27th, 2010

liplinesLip lines are those unsightly vertical wrinkles and creases that form on and near the lips, resulting from age, sun exposure and dry environmental conditions. Smoking and other factors may also cause them. They’re most visible on the outer edges of the top lips, extending upwards toward the nose. Anyone who has them knows how annoying they are, particularly when lipstick bleeds into them, leaving your mouth area a mess.

You can help fight lip lines by keeping your lips well hydrated and protected from sun exposure. Crinkly lips can also be plumped up by lip augmentation. Juvederm is an effective injectable that fills out wrinkles and creases, even increasing volume to achieve a more youthful pout.

Make Your Eyes Pop with the Right Eye Shadow

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Choose the right shade of mineral based makeup for your eyes, and they will look gorgeous. Honestly.

Brown: Blue, or anything with hints of blue. The darker your eyes are, the richer the blue.

Some pros think that anything looks good on brown eyes, but we think blue usually looks the best.

Blue: Brown eyes look best with blue shadow, so if you’ve got blue eyes, then brown shadow it is. Don’t like brown? Lucky for you – you don’t have to restrict yourself to chocolates and mochas. You can also venture out into oranges, golds and beiges.

Green: Forget browns and blues. Green eyes pop with plum or lavender.

Grey: Purples and browns really compliment grey eyes, as long as they’re in cool shades.

Dimensions of the Perfect Face

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

It was bound to happen. Researchers at the University of Toronto, led by Professor Kang Lee, have discovered the formula to create the “perfect face”.

While we all know that an attractive female face includes full lips, big eyes and a smaller nose, now there’s a formula. Perfection is about  the following measurements: the distance from the eyes to the mouth should be 36% of overall face length (which is measured from hairline to chin) and if you measure the distance between the pupils, it should be 46% of the width of the face (measured from ear to ear). This is for the average face only and hairstyles or makeup can be used to create the optical illusion of achieving these “perfect” measurements.

So who’s been blessed with perfection? Move over Angelina Jolie, Adriana Lima and Gisele Bundchen – it’s Shania Twain!

The study included students, who were asked to rate photographs of women’s faces. Photos of the same woman, but with different measurements for length and width altered by photoshop (not by cosmetic surgical procedures like facial implants and injectable fillers), were laid out for the students to be rated for attractiveness. Facial features, such as the nose or eyes, were not modified.

However, the study was only conducted on Caucasian (white) women and men, therefore it does not include a majority of the world’s population. And since it only targeted width and length, we think research still has to be done on the “perfect” size of lips, nose and other features.
