Gradient - StumbleUpon Blend the edges with a fluffy brush in small, circular motions - or just use your finger. Blend the edges into the lighter color. Blend the edges of the darkest color into the medium color - this should look like a seamless gradient. TIP: UD and MAC shadows (along with many others) have amazing pigmentation, but if you can't get the same intensity from your shadow, use a wet brush to apply. Go over the edges with a dry brush and dry shadow to blend. To finish, apply liner and mascara. I paired my eyes with a pinkish nude lip, using MAC Pink Plaid lipstick and a coat of Julie Hewett Biba over it. 101 Beauty Tips Every Girl Should Know In the world of beauty, there are endless tips and rules to keep you looking fabulous.

How to Grow Your Hair | hiphopsideproject When I was little, maybe 5 years old, my mum took me to the hair dressers and told them to give me what can only be described as a boy haircut. I’ve been scarred ever since. So I’ve been trying to grow my hair long for years now, I usually wuss out and end up getting a big chunk chopped off (never to the extent of the boy haircut that was surreptitiously thrust upon me!). Over the past 6 or so months I think I’ve added about 5-6inches of hair, and that’s with a few trims in between. Use a good shampoo/conditioner to keep your hair in tip-top condition. How you wash your hair is also important. Use shampoo on the roots only and give yourself a root massage as you apply it to stimulate hair follicles, washing it out through the rest of your hair will clean that part without drying the ends. Try and use less hair products so that you don’t need to wash your hair as often. Using a wide-tooth comb when your hair is wet or damp is essential, your hair is ridiculously brittle when it’s wet!
