    Meri bhi oily skin hai...

    The first basic rule for oily skin care is to keep it clean so as to kill acne-causing bacteria. It is essential to unclog the pores with exfoliation to prevent breakouts. Washing your face with warm water and cleanser is preferable to using harsh soaps. Warm water helps in keeping the skin oil free. Antibacterial cleansing lotions can also be used to keep the skin acne-free. Mild acne medications have a drying effect on oily skin.

    Treatment for oily skin
    There is no magical cure for oily skin. Regular care and appropriate treatment of oily skin can go a long way in keeping it clean and blemish free. Massage your face with upward and outward motions when cleansing it. Using warm water to dissolve skin oil while washing it is a good treatment for oily skin. But do not use very hot water as it can strip the skin of essential oils. Do not expect results overnight. What is required is a holistic treatment of oily skin - internally and externally.

    # White or pink clay masks gently cleanse oily skin of excess oil. The darker brown clay masks are stronger and more effective on very oily skins. Apply a clarifying face mask couple of times a week.

    # Aromatherapy oils such as lemon, rosemary and cedarwood are said to be effective in treating oily skin. A few drops of any of these oils combined with lanolin can be massaged into the skin.

    # Topical Vitamin derivatives with ingredients such as tretinoin and isotretinoin are prescribed by dermatologists to tackle sensitive oily skins.

    # Products containing Benzoyl Peroxide also form part of the treatment for oily skin. They unplug pores and reduce bacteria.

    # Antibiotic creams and lotions such as erythromycin and clindamycin are effective in treating blemished oily skin.

    # Lotions containing AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) can help oily skin become softer and smoother.

    Home remedy for oily skin
    Fruit acids have shown a positive effect in oily skin treatment. They remove oil from the skin and yet retain the moisture. Home remedies such as cucumber juice, lime juice and yogurt are effective in keeping oily skin under control. A mask of Aloe Vera, crushed strawberries and yogurt is an astringent for oily skin. Keep it on for about 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water. Some simple home remedies for oily skin:

    1. Puree 1 egg white, 1-tsp. Lemon juice, 1-tsp. Mint and ½ cucumber and apply it on the face for about 15 minutes.
    2. A puree of fresh tomatoes works wonders on oily skin.
    3. A facemask of tomato, lemon juice and oats must be applied on the cheeks, forehead and chin. Scrub your face with warm water. This home remedy for oily skin is ideal for blemishes.
    4. A clay mask is yet another home remedy for oily skin since it draws out excess oil.
    5. If your skin is excessively oily, mix in a few drops of eau de cologne. This not only helps keep oiliness away but also helps in refining the pores of the skin by acting as astringent, thereby preventing acne.

    Take a diet that is rich in proteins, with plenty of leafy vegetables and fresh fruits. Restrict sugar and high-fat foods and junk food. Supplement your food with wheat germ, nutritional yeast and whole grains, beans and nuts. Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated and flush out toxins.

    Make up for oily skin
    Choose cosmetic and facial care products specifically designed for oily skin. Use oil-free moisturizers for a shine-free complexion. You can use an antiseptic day cream before applying makeup to oily skin. This will keep sebaceous secretions under control. Makeup for oily skin hinges on creating a matte effect.

    You must use foundations that block out shine and non-pore clogging formula. Use concealer to hide blemishes and spots. Loose powder can keep you looking fresh all day long and absorb the excess oil too. Most women with oily skin cant do without this makeup item. Powder blushes work well on oily skin than cream blushers.

    And...lime juice is an important natural aid for healthy skin!

    Lime Juice Formula
    Squeeze lime into a bowl. Add a glass of boiled whole milk and a teaspoon of glycerin to it. Stir well and let it stay for half an hour. Apply this mixture on the face, hands and feet before going to bed at night. This treatment every night will help you to look young and beautiful. It will also help cure pimples.

    OOppz...sorry i forgot hehe... here it is:

    Applications of applying Eyeshadows

    The following steps are followed in the application of eyeshadow shades:

    1. Using a fine, blunt-ended brush, gently apply the base colour to the entire lid from the inside to the outside comer and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease

    2. If the eyes need extra definition,a deeper shade is blended into the crease line. This gives depth to the eyes

    3. The brow bone is highlighted with a light shade. This gives the eyes a wide, open look., The colour is applied to the most prominent area and blended up towards the brow and down to' where the contour curves down, toward the eyelid creases

    Before using them on the lids, always test the colours on the back of the hand to see the intensity. You can use even 3-4 colours, provided. they are blended well. Remember, pale tones emphasize, while deep sooty shades de-fine.
    Tips on how to apply eyeshadow in three easy steps

    1. Select a light color base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line.
    2. To apply eyeshadow: Use a long handled brush and use your hand or a cuff to hold it. Watch out for dark colors because they can can end up looking too theatrical.
    3. Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.
    4. Then blend eye shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Don't use your finger'you could wipe off the shadow entirely.
    5. High quality powder eyeshadows can be used wet for heavier application by dampening your applicator a little.
    6. Lighter shadows help the bigger while darker shades make them look smaller. For bigger eyes, sweep a light shade over lid and darker shade on the outer corner of the lid and the crease. Outline the eyes using the eyeliner on the outer side of upper and lower lids while tapering a bit on the outside the eye to elongate it. Dab a white or cream shadow in the middle of the brow bone as a last step.
    7. Use a cosmetic puff and a little pressed powder to tone down heavy shadow. Shake any excess powder off the puff, then press it gently on your lid.
    8. To add definition to your eyelids, apply a medium-toned shade across the lid and brow bone and dust the under brow area with a light highlighter shade. Use a very fine pencil liner of natural color to line the upper and lower lash lines.

    How to put on eye shadow? Feel the magic of applying eyeshadow!!

    * Eyeshadow's accentuate eyes, making them look bigger and brighter. Use an eyeshadow that compliments the color of your eyes.
    * To create the new round eye, apply a soft, neutral brown across the eyelid and slightly above the crease, creating a round shape.
    Blend, going upwards towards the brow..
    Apply the same color shadow underneath the bottom lashes..
    To create a dark eye without the hassle of black eye shadow, take a black pencil inside the lower eye to create the new smoky eye look.
    * Apply eyeshadow right over the eyelid. Draw a thin line of eyeliner on your upper lid, close to the lashes. Use a soft tipped eye pencil over the line for a smudgy effect.
    * Neutral shades like browns and beiges look natural while brighter shades like blue and green look dramatic and artificial.
    * On mature skin and puffy eyelids, avoid using iridescent, frosted, light colors and white eyeshadows and opt for soft matte colors instead.

    ** TIPS OF THE TRADE: Use a pink eyeshadow on the whole eye area and a brown eyeshadow on the lid. Brush a darker pink along the socket line and blend.

    Types of eye shadows:

    Dark: This is applied only to the eyelids from the lashline to the crease in the eyelid.

    Medium: This is applied from just below the eyelid crease to the browbone. You can, and some techniques do, shade the entire lid with this medium shade first.

    Highlight: This is the lightest of the three and is applied to the browbone and extends a little past the outer end of the eyebrow. This usually gives a pearly finish.
    Application Tips on How to apply eyeshadow:

    * Don’t test shades on the back of your hand as the color is different from your eyelids.
