Make up is used all over the world by people to enhance their features ,hide imperfections , to look younger or just have a fresh look. There are many ways to apply makeup and in different categories.Here are a few suggestions.

First decide what kind of coverage you want if you have uneven skin,and even if you don't, it's best to start by applying a primer. It will make your foundation last longer. You have to decide what look you are going for-matte, semi-matte, or dewy. Some women like tinted moisturizer rather than foundation, unless you like a very made-up look.

Look for a shade that's a little darker than your skin, as your own color will still come through, but if you wear a shade that's too pale, it will give you an ashy appearance.

 If you ask me men’s colognes are the factor to either sweep a woman of her feet or either to make her turn around and leave the man stunned for being turned down besides the clothes and rugged features or lets say any features with a little stubble and a Tom Ford cologne a woman is sure to stay and share a drink with the man who has confidence to match his intoxicating smell.

Trend Factor: 8 / 10
Tom Ford is the menswear designer of the season, offering well-dressed gents suits, ties and shirts that are sewn to perfection and have a secured spot on the 2007 trend list. So why would his fragrance be any different? Tom Ford for Men has a classic masculine scent that’ll leave you feeling just as dapper as the designer threads you’re donning.

Practicality Factor: 8 / 10
Tom Ford for Men is rich in elegance and class thanks to such scents as lemon leaf oil, black pepper, tobacco leaf, and leatherwood. These notes invoke a smoky manliness that you’ll be proud to throw on every morning with your tailored work wear.

Longevity Factor: 9 / 10
One bottle of this stuff may not be enough. In other words, you’ll probably be rationing out the final drops of your new signature scent.

Wow Factor: 8 / 10
With infused hints of exotic and masculine aromas, this fragrance will have you smelling fresh and feeling manly -- especially when you notice that so many of your female coworkers have suddenly become such close talkers around you.

The extreme change in temperature, moving from centrally heated offices to the cold outdoor chills, all contribute to making skin feel dry, flaky and sore.

1. It’s tempting to take long, hot baths and showers during the chilly winter mornings and evenings, but try not to. Bathing in hot water strips skin of its natural acid mantel, which leaves it prone to dryness.

2. Winter means it’s time to switch to a richer moisturiser, but be wise when choosing your skincare products. What truly matters is not the price of your cream, but whether it’s right for your skin type. An expensive cream is not right for everyone, no matter how glamorous it looks on your dressing table. E45 Facial Enriching Day Cream (£4.99) and E45 Facial Renewing Night Cream (£5.99), are loved by savvy beauty types.

3. ‘During Winter’s low humidity, water is drawn out from the skin’, says Sally Penford of the International Dermal Institute. ‘To protect the skin’s natural barrier layer, avoid using soaps and alkaline-based products that can break it down. Try to avoid heavy, overly rich moisturisers, which can clog the skin. Instead, choose a product that will offer deep-down hydration as well as an SPF protection.’

4. Use Equazen’s Qarma (£7.99 for a month’s supply). The organic evening primrose oil supplement contains sources of GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid), an essential fatty acid that helps keep the skin smooth, hydrated and strong enough to cope with the hazards of the English winter.

Unless you have pain in your foot or have hurt yourself accidentally against something do not think of wearing a flip flop to an office this is a definitely no, no so wear leather shoes instead to the office.
Unless you get a pedicure regularly, your feet probably look much better clad in leather shoes than exposed for all the world to see. Why then must we address flip-flops as an office wear no-no? Because casual Friday became casual Monday-through-Friday, some think they're living in a Corona commercial and keep showing up for work with bacteria factories strapped to their feet. Spring break may be a state of mind for you after your school days have ended, but we’ll leave that for your therapist to resolve. What you need to understand first is that men wear socks and leather shoes to work. For ultimate comfort and versatility find a pair of leather loafers in a British tan -- they're just as comfortable as flip-flops and a lot less childish and underdressed.

Caring for Eye Care

Eye Care is an important factor in all of our lives. We sometimes take sight for granted but can you imagine not being able to see everyday things normally. Imagine not being able to see your kids, too watch TV, too take a walk and see all of nature is beauties. People with certain eye diseases are not able to enjoy these experiences to their full extent and sometimes not at all. There are several reasons for people to start learning more about eye health and how to protect our sight. There are not only personal reasons but financial reasons as well because the cost of eye care affects everyone. As the Baby Boomer generation ages and faces more eye problems, the need for eye care will be much greater.

Personal Reasons of Eye Care

Eye care is essential to maintaining the health of our eyes. People with eye diseases that greatly affect their vision face many problems. They are physically hampered by impaired vision. They are not able to perform daily activities like driving or working. Some are barely able to see or have lost their vision entirely. They are also faced with emotional stress. People with dramatic eye problems face many issues that can lead to solitude and depression. This strain also affects friends and families.

The first thing you should know before caring the skin is to know which type of skin you have. There are five kinds of skin:

Normal skin
Oily or greasy skin
Dry skin
Sensitive skinand
Combinational skin
A glowing, smooth skin is one of the first things that is noticed in an attractive, well groomed person. But this happens only when you are healthy.

For healthy skin, you should have healthy diet, a diet which contains proper amount of minerals, vitamins and proteins. Diet is not the alone factor, hygiene is also important factor for healthy skin. The most important factor is the cleanliness. Face should be washed regularly with warm water and soap removes oil, sweat, dirt and bacteria.

Tips for healthy skin:
You should wash your face as many times as you can.
You should avoid eating fried and cheesy food.
Rub your face with ice-cubes and you can also try ice water mixed with lime juice and wash the face with this mixture.
Ordinary washing of the face does not remove grease, dust, perspiration, dirt, stale make up and bacteria from the skin which cleansing do. Cleansing creams goes deeper into the pores and wash them thoroughly. Always apply a cleansing cream on cheeks, chin, neck and forehead. It should be done two times a day once in the morning and one before going to bed.

Aging of the skin occurs when collagen becomes hard and gets meshed with neighboring collagen fibers. This prevents the collagen from holding water and plumping up. Instead, it collapses on itself, binds with other collagen fibers, and forms a kind of fishnet below the surface of the skin, which is manifested as wrinkles.

Causes of Aging Skin

Research shows that there are, in fact, two distinct types of aging. Aging caused by the genes we inherit is called intrinsic (internal) aging. The other type of aging is known as extrinsic (external) aging and is caused by environmental factors, such as exposure to the sun´s rays.

Though other skin care experts have identified free radicals and cellular inflammation as key triggers to the breakdown and aging of healthy skin, there is a way to prevent these culprits from developing in the first place-rather than just treating the unwelcome symptoms they´ve caused.

   Times have changes now because of which some changes have also been noticed in men’s fashion also the surprising part is that men are now supposed to have their dress shirt colors  which have some do’s and don’ts. Move away from the white shirt and add a blast of color to your wardrobe by incorporating these fine colors to your sartorial repertoire. If you already know the various shirt styles every man should own. So let’s go a bit further and breakdown the must-own dress shirt colors for this year. Keep in mind, however, that adding color does not, under any circumstances, allow a man to ever wear a pink shirt. The pink dress shirt has had its time and there shall not be a 16th minute of fame for this silly-looking color on a man.

Classic blue
The classic blue dress shirt allows flexibility without the drollness of the white shirt. Best of all, the classic blue bridges the gap between formal and informal simply in the way you wear it. Pair it with a red tie and you’re ready for a political office. A dark gray or black tie lends formality and strength to your look. Go blue on blue with a sharp blue suit and tie for a continental look or leave it unbuttoned, sans tie, for a casually modern appearance. In short, this is the shirt you should always pack when heading out of town.

Gray
This sombre color outdoes classic blue in seriousness because it tones down any suit or sport coat it's paired with. If you thought a black three-button suit looked sharp with the classic blue, you haven’t truly entered a room until you wear this gray number from Ted Baker. The gunmetal black buttons also allow you to wear it with a neatly pressed pair of black trousers and modern lace-up Oxfords for a touch of casual elegance.The most underrated dress shirt color is black. No other dress shirt color besides black allows you to wear it with jeans, khakis, suits, and tuxedos while always looking your absolute best. By the way, let her wear it the morning after as you fix her breakfast and you’ll wonder why you’ve been wearing white all these years. In the end, however, this shirt was made to be worn with a muted charcoal tie under a gray modern-cut suit with black monk-strap shoes.

Mauve
OK, let’s get something straight right away: Mauve is not pink. The only time a man should ever have his hands on a pink garment is when he's helping a woman out of it. Got it? Good. Now back to the topic at hand; this is the perfect pastel-colored dress shirt and every man should have at least one of these in his closet waiting for that moment to subtly brighten any occasion. Now, once again, and all together now: Mauve is not pink. And this one is from Zegna, which makes it very, very good.

Black
The most underrated dress shirt color is black. No other dress shirt color besides black allows you to wear it with jeans, khakis, suits, and tuxedos while always looking your absolute best. By the way, let her wear it the morning after as you fix her breakfast and you’ll wonder why you’ve been wearing white all these years. In the end, however, this shirt was made to be worn with a muted charcoal tie under a gray modern-cut suit with black monk-strap shoes.

Men must be having their views how they want a woman to look who can attract them like a magnet towards “The Woman” in their life but has anyone asked how we women want to have in a man? Of course no question definitely a Heavy Stubble!

Heavy stubble
Though you may not think it counts, heavy stubble is an effortlessly fashionable facial hair style for winter; plus, it provides a trendy, low-maintenance alternative to those styles that require more attention. Also, heavy stubble offers a perfect strategy for guys who are constantly dealing with a heavy beard. With its no-fuss appearance, this rakish option creates a laid-back image that errs on the side of ease. But if you still need convincing, look to the rugged styling of Zachary Quinto; his heavy stubble puts a disheveled brilliance on his impeccable style. So, go ahead and augment your winter wardrobe with some casual elegance and sport the heavy stubble.

What this facial hair style says about you: Easygoing and unassuming, you own a masculine, dapper appearance that’s devoid of being overly invested in maintaining a pristine pretty-boy appearance.

1. Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!

2. Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!

3. Quit Smoking
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.

4. Reduce Stress
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.

5. Protect Yourself from Pollution
If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes'…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.
