What you must remember is that keeping it simple is the key for perfect nude make-up.

While foundation is not necessary, it is recommended for those who have dry skin
You must select eye liner that is the same shade as your lash colour.
While choosing a concealer, you ought to go for the one that matches the colour of your skin or foundation.
A lipstick with a rosy shade is recommended. A blush of the same rosy shade should also be used.

Prior to applying the make-up, thoroughly cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise your skin. Then with the help of a vanity mirror, apply the concealer onto your skin by dabbing it on gently. Then rub it into your skin.

Use a lip liner that is the same shade as that of the lipstick and then apply the lipstick with the help of a lip brush.

If you have excessively pale skin, you must use a rosy shade of blush and apply it onto your cheekbones in a circular motion. The blusher should also be applied onto the nose, chin and forehead. In case pink blush does not match your skin colour- peach is recommended.

Apply the eyeliner carefully and as close to your eyelashes as possible

In order to create a lip balm, you need to strike a balance between the solids and the liquids. Solids include butters and wax while liquids include essential oils. For the butters and wax, mango butter and bee’s wax are recommended whereas for liquid, almond oil, castor oil and avocado oil are recommended. Essential oils can be combined together to give the lip balm a unique smell. The most popular essential oils are tea tree oil, cinnamon, camphor, mints and ginger. However, care must be taken to avoid including citrus essential oils into your lip balm as this leads to photosensitive lips.

All the ingredients except the essential oils must be mixed together in a double boiler. The ingredients must then be allowed to melt. It is essential to keep stirring the blend after every few minutes. The essential oils must then be added to the mixture. If you add the essential oil into the mixture with the rest of the ingredients, they will evaporate and offer no use. Next, add the mixture into the lip balm tub.

Once you are satisfied with your lip balm, you must right down the exact measurements of each ingredient so that your recipe can be perfected and next time you can make it again with much ease.

Long, beautiful nails are desirable and can give you an edge in the grooming department both literally and figuratively. Strong nails not only give you a longer lasting manicure, they also make for great weapons in times of distress! Jokes apart, there are a few tips that can help you get nails that grow faster, longer and are strong too!

Please understand before anything else that the rate of nail growth and nail strength are hereditary factors and influenced quite a bit by your genetic make up. However, there are a few things you can do to aid nature when it comes to getting the nails of your dreams.

Vitamin supplements help keep your nutritional stock well equipped to gain nail growth and benefits. Consult your doctor before you go for vitamin supplements.

Protect your hands before you start any manual work. Wear gloves before washing dishes and clothes.
Get manicures done regularly, not frequently. Overexposure to alcohols in nail paints can weaken nails. Also, go for regular hand massages that promote blood circulation.

This one is easy, but many people forget it. Do not bite your nails! Biting your fingernails is bad for your nails and for your teeth. Chew gum if you have to keep your mouth busy.
