Eyebrow Arching 101

With such easy steps, its easy to create a work of art that frames the beauty of your face. Before we begin, lets go over the basics. When drawing your eyebrows, you first need to know where to start, where to end and most importantly, where to place your arch.

Step 1

To find out where to start from the inner corner, take your pencil or brush and place it against the outer corner of your nose vertically, making certain that the inner corner of your eyes straight up to brow line is included. Place a small dot on your brow to mark your starting point.

Next, again take your pencil or brush and line it up from the outer edge of your nose to the outer corner of your eye. Following this line, make a small dot on the outer corner of your brow. This is where your eyebrow should stop.

Then finally, looking straight ahead, take your brush or pencil and hold it from the outer corner of your nose and over your pupil. This is where the highest point of your eyebrow will be, your arch.

As you practice and get better you won't have to do this anymore. Thank goodness! You'll soon become an expert with flawless eyebrows. This YouTube video walks you through the remaining steps easily.

Make Up: BH Cosmetics - Go Nutts With Color!

I cannot tell a lie! When it comes to make up and beauty products, I will spend my last for a good quality eyeshadow collection. You should also know that I spent tons of cash on MAC cosmetics in the past because... well I figured because it said "MAC", I was good! While they have made their mark in the cosmetic industry, their prices have somewhat eluded many working class women. The only problem that I have with BH Cosmetics, is that I am overwhelmed by the vast selection of eyeshadow products, much to the point that I will literally spend hours on end trying to choose the right one. Well just so you know, my trip never ends so easily, as I just give in half way through shopping and just start adding items to my cart. If this were another company I could easily spend a small fortune on make up, by doing this. Luckily enough BH Cosmetics' eyeshadow palette prices are extremely competitive and I never have to worry about breaking the bank!

 
BH Cosmetics is a company that has rightfully earned their place among the cosmetic giants. They have a huge selection of make up for the eyes, the face, and the lips, as well as application brushes. I have checked out their eyeshadow palettes and prices and I am truly amazed! In comparison to MAC, BH Cosmetics' prices are a fraction of the prices of MAC. Everyone can now afford to look fabulous with gorgeous make up!

Another great thing about BH Cosmetics is that they offer free shipping on ALL ORDERS OVER $50 EVERYDAY! For women like myself who live outside the US, they also ship internationally by USPS. I am so excited about this company and I can't wait to do my eyeshadow tutorials. I have already ordered some more make up products and as soon as I get them I will do a video as I open my package and apply. Again, i'll say that the quality and selection is impeccable and I promise you that BH Cosmetics eyeshadow make up will be your new favorite forever.

They have tons of eyeshadow palettes to choose from. The 120 color eyeshadow palette collections include 4 color combinations: 1st Edition, 2nd Edition, 3rd Edition and 4th Edition. They also have 88 color collections in Cool, Tropical, and Color. With so many rich beautiful make up colors is hard to choose! But which ever make up products that you choose, you will be 100% satisfied with your purchase. I guarantee it. These are great gift ideas for the Holiday season and i'm certainly keen on giving the gift of glamor to my equally fabulous friends!

Lace Wigs: How NOT to look "Wiggy"

If you're like me then you already realize that because you're wearing a wig doesn't mean that you should like like you are. There is absolutely nothing worse that wearing a wig that basically looks like a hairy helmet! To avoid this fashion faux pas, I follow these guidelines. It doesn't always provide 100% coverage against purchasing a hideous wig, but at least it would be wearable.

YouTube
If you are making an online purchase where you aren't physically able to try on a wig then the next best thing to do is take it to YouTube. Just type in the make and model of the wig you are interested in buying and you should get a good amount of videos that feature the wig and its pros and cons. Also, there are a lot of fashion and beauty blogs such as this one that are more than willing to help you choose the prefect one. Sometimes just by looking at the wig picture on its package, just doesn't justify the look of the wig. That's where the videos help. I have a brand new channel that features tutorials and beauty products called "Bella Beauty Channel". Check it out and subscribe. New videos added each week. Here's the link:http://www.youtube.com/user/keyotu80

"Is that your hair"?
My rule of thumb when purchasing wigs is that if it doesn't look like it can grow out of my scalp then its not going home with me! I wear my hair naturally and my specific preference is kinky or curly wigs. While I do like the straight ones as well, I won't purchase hair that looks like vinyl. That's a definite NO-NO! Choose a wig that is closest to your hair texture, whether relaxed or natural, it doesn't matter. If you catch other women staring at your hair with a puzzled look on their face then, Congratulations! You've found the perfect match! No one should easily be able to conclude that you are wearing a wig. Keep 'em guessing girls!


Synthetic or Human?
When the notion of wearing wigs outside of Hollywood first came about, human hair wigs reigned supreme; so did their price tags. I always own about eight to ten wigs at any given time, not because I don't like combing my own hair but because I love the options and flexibility they offer. In the time that I purchased my first lace wig to now, I have owned only three human hair wigs. These days, synthetic fibers have come a very long way in the natural look and feel that women desire. There are some synthetic wigs that can truly be passed off as human and the best part being that they are only a fraction of the cost of their human counterparts.They even have synthetic wigs that can be flat ironed and curled. Now if that isn't revolutionary, then I don't know what is.

Tweakin' It

What you see isn't necessarily what you get. When you purchase a wig, half the time you see a few things that can be improved. Some people even go one step further in taking the wig to their salon to have it styled. I don't particularly like wigs with full bangs because I just don't like all that hair on my face all the time. There are some wigs that have bangs that just don't lay flat and it just looks ridiculous! Like I said, it should lay flat like your natural hair. Then on the other hand you have some lace wigs that have a crazy thick hairline that makes you look like you're wearing a geisha wig! OMG! This is the worst thing that can happen where lace wigs are concerned. If you find yourself with a wig like this try taking a tweezer and thinning out the hairline to make it look more natural.When you think of it, NO ONE has a hairline like that on the planet! The whole idea of wearing a wig is for it to look like your natural hair.

Vixen Lace Wigs
In my natural-looking lace wig online hunt, I happened across a store called Vixen Lace Wigs.com and all I can say is FREAKIN' WOW! I am blown away by the selection of lace wigs that are styled with the hottest do's , they look like they grew out of your scalp and the prices are awesome! Among the many fabulous wigs there was two in particular that caught my eye. The first one is called "Karma" is a red curly wig made of Futura fibers and she is stunning! I call it Rihanna red because it looks like the shade of red frequenly worn by the pop star. The other fabulous wig I adore is called "Ebony", now this one is my absolute favorite because it looks more closely to my natural hair. I was on this website until nearly 2am the other morning because I couldn't decide what I wanted. I will be making this purchase and I will add a video review as well as blog post highlighting this beauty lady called Ebony so stay tuned!

Naturalists: How to Trim Your Ends

 The mere thought of trimming the ends of natural hair is a daunting task for many. It is a lot easier for relaxed women and women with naturally straight hair to trim because the hair lays flat. Kinky hair strands are several different lengths at any given time. So how do you get a clean trim to remove those annoying split ends? It is simpler than you think, and in a few simple steps, you can rid your hair of damaged ends and be on your way to having the best black hair ever!

Step 1

Depending on the desired precision, twist your entire head into a series of small to medium sized two-strand twists. When you do this, be sure to twist the ends all the way down to ensure a cleaner cut.

Step 2

Courtesy of blackhair.about.com

The biggest mistake many women make is using a scissors to trim their hair that they use to do pretty much everything else around the house. That is a VERY BAD idea. If you do not have a designated hair trimming scissors, you should probably invest in one. Black hair strands are very delicate and therefor you should only use a very sharp pair of shears used only to trim your hair. There are microscopic nicks in regular scissor blades that can cause more harm than good if you use them to trim your ends. Make a three-dollar investment and save your hair from further damage.

Step 3

Finally, tug lightly on each twist and trim off a quarter inch to one inch of damaged ends, and then you are done! It is that simple and the best part is that you do not need a second pair of hands; you can do this all by yourself.
