Black Eyeshadow Makeup: Beauty Tips for Your Eyes

Black Eyeshadow Makeup: Beauty Tips for Your Eyes

Using black eye shadow to create one of the most popular looks in make up, the smoky eye look can be difficult, as there are many shades and tones of color that are used in the look, rather than just using black eye shadow to coat the upper lid. Black eyeshadow color is always considered the classic color.

When applying eyeshadow, remember that dark colors give a shadow of effect, while light colors are used to highlight. Eye shadow can be applied with a brush, sponge applicator, cotton wool or your fourth finger. Never compete with yourself! Eyeshadow should complement skin tone, hair color and eyes.

Many women like to experiment with eye makeup, and it’s perfectly acceptable to try different colors of eyeshadow. Black eyeshadow in combination with other neutral colors can create a sultry look. The key is to apply a generous amount onto the lower lid and blend a conservative amount towards the brow.

There are certain techniques that should be used while wearing black eye shadow to ensure that you are able to get this depth and dimension within the look and this comes from more than just the black Eyeshadow.

Things You’ll Need:

    * Black Eye line
    * Black Mascara
    * Dark Eyeshadow (Black, Grey, Dark Red, Brown, Dark Blue)
    * Pale Face Powder
    * Chap-stick

Useful Tips for Black Eyeshadow:

   1. Start with the Pale Face Powder. Cover your whole face with it including your lips. Cover some of your neck with it as well.
   2. Grab the eyeliner. Take the stick and brush the tip of the pencil onto the edge of the cap so the eyeliner will go on darker. Apply the eyeliner just under your eyelashes on the bottom eyelid. Make sure it’s not too thick, but still kind of thick.
   3. Put the eyeliner on the inside of your bottom eyelid. You’re not supposed to do this, but it makes your eyes stand out much better. There should be a thick line on your bottom lid.
   4. Take the black mascara and apply it to your bottom eyelashes. The upper lid should be thicker than the bottom lid.
   5. Take your dark eye shadow and apply it to your top lid just above the eyeliner. Rub the eyeshadow into the end line of the eyeliner using the eyeshadow brush. Don’t rub the eyeshadow over the eyeliner. Only on the end of the eyeliner.
   6. Apply the eyeshadow on the bottom eyelid the same way as the top except don’t rub the eyeshadow into the eyeliner. Take your finger and gently rub the bottom eyeshadow into your skin so it looks like your sick. Then the eyes are done.
   7. Get your Chap-stick and apply it to your lips, over the pale face powder.

Advice:

    * Be careful about putting a pencil near your eye!
    * Don’t fall asleep with the makeup on.

Unique Sushi Art on a Plate

An art duo from Osaka have combine sculpture, painting and photography to come up with almost lifelike forms where they have Japanese food on miniature trucks. The plates show you exactly how small the art is. Although expensive, these sculptures are popular among collectors. They have almost all popular Japanese food covered and all set, strapped to the mini truck. These sculptures from the Tomica series may look small but are priced at $270 per figure. The food on the tiny trucks look very real and even the garnishing is made with a lot of detail. It is obvious that the creator has a lot of talent and patience to be able to make something so lifelike. If kept with real food, they will no doubt fool any eye. Watch out next time you lunch with a prankster, not everything on the plate needs to be food.

Deal with Your Mother in Law: Improving a Loving Relationship

Deal with Your Mother in Law: Improving a Loving Relationship

Just the word, mother in law, fills the heart with trepidation and self-doubt. This woman has assumed mythic proportions wielding criticism, guilt and coldness. When she visits, you feel like the inspector general has marched into your home. When she interacts with the children, she is evaluating their manners, academic performance and fitness tracing it all back to you!

Sometimes when we get married we inherit more than just a spouse. We also get a new mother and that can be either good or bad. Most people get along fine with their mother-in-laws, and some even have enviable stellar connections. But when a relationship with a mother-in-law gets bad, it can be very bad. At its worst we start to wonder how we could ever fall in love with the offspring of such a thoroughly unpleasant person.

It can be the type of thing that tests the bond between husband and wife, and sometimes it even puts the marriage in jeopardy. Here are some suggestions to befriend your mother-in-law thereby making your husband and children happier.

Start by Talking About Your Feelings to Your Husband:

He is always your best friend and ally in life, and even though it’s his mother who is causing you stress, explaining to him how you feel is your first step. If he has trouble understanding, see if you can find a good intermediary: clergy, a counselor, a nurse, or just a friend who understands, preferably one who has been through this before. You need your husband in your court before you can get anywhere with this situation.

Have a Sense of Humor:

Look at it from a distance.You laugh at the TV comedy, Everyone Loves Raymond, particularly Marie and Debra’s relationship; try to see the humor in your own relationship with your mother-in-law. Humor goes a long way to defuse hostility.

Break the Pattern of Criticism:

When your mother-in-law criticizes you, listen calmly for a few minutes then distract her by changing the topic, pulling out some photos of the children, new makeup or a magazine about a subject she’s interested in like gardening, golf or shopping. Get her into grandma mode by having your children sing, perform or show an award they received.

Reinterpret Negatives into Positives:

Anything can be reinterpreted! Be creative and release the anger. Practice it so often that it becomes a reflex action. For example, if your mother-in-law doesn’t even refer to you by your name, if you don’t even merit a hey, you then reinterpret to, She’s being sensitive to my needs. It is awkward for her as I am not her daughter. So rather than confront me or offend me, she avoids calling me anything.

Affirm Your Mother in Law:

Compliment the qualities you want to reinforce. Wouldn’t you do this with your child or pet? You don’t want to comment on bad behavior and create the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Schedule One-on One Time:

Schedule one-on-one time around her interests to do something fun together: a day at the spa, lunch and shopping, visit the new exhibit. Get to know her on a personal level and bond. Ask about her dreams, her career and her past. Knowledge is power!

Be Patient and Lower Your Expectations:

Don’t envision an immediate transformation or a Kodak moment of love. You can expect mutual respect and loyalty. One step at a time. It took my mother-in-law twenty years to love me, but she finally came around. Where there is life, there is hope.

These mothers-in-law share the following characteristics:

    * They think they know more than you do. Much more.
    * As a result, they offer “recommendations.” A lot of them.
    * They don’t respect the laws of time and space.

Therefore, they offer their advice anywhere: In your home, in their home, at family gatherings, shopping malls, political rallies you name it.

    * Their voices usually carry from here to Guam. They like to give everyone the benefit of their unsolicited advice.
    * They actually believe they are helping you.
    * They usually have a need to control. Sort of like a combination of Catherine the Great, Atilla the Hun, and Roseanne.

A Few Advice:

   1. Mothers-in-law sometimes “lay in wait” until no one else is in the room (including their own husbands, whom they want on their side). Do not be alone with her. If you find yourself alone with her, immediately get up and go to the bathroom, take a walk, do whatever you need to in order to not be alone with her.
   2. It’s highly recommended that if you have a child, take them out of the room at the same time that you are leaving. If you don’t trust your mother-in-law yourself, you can’t trust her with your child. Don’t allow her to say poisonous things to your child, undermining your relationship with that child.
   3. If All Else Fails:

    * Relocate to another city. Many people swear their marriages have been saved by this solution!
    * If your partner does not support you, this is a critical sign! A sign not only in terms of, your relationship with your MIL, but, with your own marriage. You have to give serious thought as to whether this is a marriage you want to stay with.

How To Choose Your Wedding Invitations: Helpful Information

How To Choose Your Wedding Invitations: Helpful Information

Choosing your wedding invitations can be downright overwhelming. Thousands of choices are available in the invitation books of stationers for you to review. The first impression your guests have of your wedding is formed by the wedding invitations you choose. Wedding invitations should reflect the personalities of the bride and groom and also the style of event you are planning.

Style

Traditionally formal wedding invitations were always on ecru, ivory or white card (depending on the color of your dress) and engraved with black or dark-gray ink. This is still the most popular choice for a formal wedding, but today there are a tremendous variety of invitations available to suit your style, the level of formality you desire, and your budget.

Formal, semi formal, romantic, funky, kitsch, or relaxed the style is really up to the bride, groom and any relatives that are helping to pay for the wedding. Invitations today can include textured paper, in multiple colors, embedded flowers, recycled paper, gilt edges, photographs, and an endless variety of creative options to suit your wedding theme.

The place you choose to hold your wedding, be it a garden, hotel, beach or church will of course greatly influence your choice of invitations.

It is best to start planning even a simple wedding at least a year in advance and preferably a year and a half. As soon as you decide on your guest list and on the style of wedding you want, you should be ready to choose a professional supplier. You may want to obtain as many free brochures and information packs from suppliers in your area. You will want to choose a supplier who will not charge you for draft copies of your invitations. You also should insure that your supplier will not expect you to pay for a whole new order if you find you need more stationery than had originally been arranged.

Ordering

A common mistake when ordering wedding stationery is when the bride and groom assume that because they are inviting 50 guests that they need 50 invitations. This is not the case. You need to remember that couples can be invited on the same invitations and so can children under the age of sixteen. For a wedding of 50 you should start with 25 invitations and then add on about ten to fifteen extras to cover any extra people you may have forgotten or mistakes made on the envelopes. You should also keep at least one invitation as a memento.

Do not forget to send invitations to your parents and wedding party. If you want to use place cards, you will want to remember to order place cards for every guest including your parents and bridal party. Be sure to check with your reception venue, as place cards are sometimes included with the overall reception cost. It is advisable to mail an invitation to yourself just to see how long it takes to arrive and what condition it arrives in.

If you need Order of Service cards for a church ceremony, be sure to add extra ones for the choirboys and the Vicar. You will need one Order of Service for each and every guest.

Aside from the invitations you will also need envelopes, reply cards, thank you cards and you may need Order of Service leaflets, menus, place cards, serviettes, book matches, wedding scrolls, gift registry cards, and seating plans. In order to save time, and money, it is advisable to order all your stationery at once from the same supplier. This will also help ensure consistency of design.

It is preferable to order all of your invitations at the same time, leaving ample time to have them printed and addressed. You will need to send them out two to three months in advance. Remember to gather and bring all the information you will need to create your wedding invitation. You need the date, time place of wedding and reception, names of parents and the full name of the bride and groom including middle names.

Lettering

Formal wedding invitations are traditionally engraved which is the most expensive option. Engraving produces textured raised letters and in black or gray ink is ideal for formal weddings with large budgets. Thermography is a less expensive popular alternative to engraving that provides almost the same look. For a smaller guest list Calligraphy can be used, either computerized or by hand. If you want to use colored ink and/or highly textured paper then you will need to use offset printing.

Wedding convention dictates that you must write out the addresses for all your invitations by hand so be sure to order extra envelopes for the inevitable mistakes. If you wish you can hire a calligrapher to do this.

Engraved, embossed and calligraphed stationery are likely to be at the high end of the price range. Most professional wedding stationery suppliers provide a wide selection of local, imported and their own exclusive designs in a wide range of styles, colors and prices so that there is something to suit every budget.

Wording

The wording of your invitation is obviously important but today family relationships are much more complicated than in the past, and this may be causing you some anxiety.

Don’t worry. If you have chosen a good supplier they should be able to advise you. It may well be your first wedding but they have seen it all and can help you work out appropriate wording for any situation.

Most wedding invitations include the names of the hosts, which may be your parents, yourselves or both, your own names, and the date, time and location, and reception. You should also add RSVP cards and details. The trend these days is for the bride and groom to choose more creative and personal wording than the traditional formal wording of the past.

Thank You Cards

As soon as you start receiving gifts you need to start writing your thank you notes. You may want to order thank you cards along with your wedding stationery so that they match your wedding invitation. Thank you notes should specifically mention the gift, and how the bride and groom intend to use it. Thank you notes can be brief, but should be very personal. You should try to finish them no later than three weeks after the wedding. Everyone who gives you a gift should receive a thank you note.

The Mailing

Before mailing invitations you must proofread very carefully. Check and double-check the wording of all your wedding stationery. Have a friend check them over for you also.

To ensure your guests receive their invitations and are able to respond in sufficient time, mail them four to six weeks before the event. Invitations being mailed overseas should be mailed eight weeks in advance.

Remember your invitations do not have to cost a fortune to look gorgeous and delight your guests. All you need is a professional supplier and printer who has the knowledge and experience to help you choose stationery that fits in with the level of formality, style and theme of the wedding of your dreams.

Hennessey's Venom GT is a Corvette-Powered Elise with 1,200HP

Some say you can't make a Lotus any better. Well, maybe they haven't head of Hennessey and its SEMA Show-bound Venom GT. The American firm's new toy is based on the Lotus Elise and, in its flagship version, comes equipped with an out-of-this-world 1,200 hp (895 kW) twin turbocharged V8 engine sourced from the Corvette. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.

The V8-powered sports car also gets race-spec disc brakes sourced from Brembo with 15.2-inch diameter carbon-ceramic rotors and 6-piston aluminum calipers.

According to Hennessey, the Venom GT tips the scales at 2,685 lbs (1,220 kg). Estimated performance figures say that, this hypercar, will go from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 2.4 seconds, and to 200mph (322 km/h) in 15.6 seconds.

In comparison, the Bugatti Veyron completes the 0-200mph sprint in 24.2 seconds. Hennessey's proposal tops out at a jaw-dropping 267mph or 429km/h.

For those that find 1,200HP a tad too much, Hennessey will also offer two more iterations of the V8 engine, one producing 725 hp (541 kW) and the other 1,000 horses (746 kW).

"We are very excited to have the opportunity to show our Venom GT in the Mobil 1 display at this year's SEMA show," said company founder and president, John Hennessey. "We first announced our interest in developing an ultra lightweight, ultra powerful sports car – the Venom GT concept – nearly three years ago during SEMA."

"Driving the Venom GT is a thrilling experience," Hennessey adds. "It is a driver's car, a supercar with a soul that will give you as much speed and performance as you dare ask of it. If you ever wanted to experience flying a military fighter jet, the Venom GT offers a similar visceral thrill of speed and performance. It's the quickest, fastest and most exciting vehicle that I have ever driven."
