Designer Planet: Brazilian Style Manicure
Brazilian Manicures are The Messiest Way to Paint Your Nails
More often than not, at-home manicures mean ending up with nail polish everywhere but on your actual nails. We usually consider this a polish fail but if you’re getting a Brazilian manicure, a messy paint job is actually the sign of a manicure done well.
This practice is an integral part of how the pros in Brazil paint their clients’ nails. The surrounding skin around the nails is purposely coated with a clear base coat and then the polish shade of choice, followed by removing the excess polish with an orangewood stick and acetone-soaked cotton ball. This haphazard way of painting polish is done so that it sits under the cuticles, and makes for a longer-lasting mani,” explains Fernanda Lacerda, owner of Maria Bonita salon, a Brazilian gem in N.Y.C. It also eliminates the thin sliver of nail that is usually left unpainted during a manicure at your neighborhood nail salon that only gets larger as your manicure grows out.
What's the difference between a standard mani and a Brazilian?
"It's a more intense manicure. After soaking hands in a paraffin treatment and exfoliating, we remove the cuticles to make the surface of the nail completely flat. Then, instead of applying polish only to the nail, we also paint the surrounding skin to ensure that the polish coats the edge of the nail bed to make the manicure last longer. We wrap cotton dipped in nail-polish remover around an orange wood stick and wipe away the excess polish on the cuticle area."
Are there any special tools a needed for a Brazilian mani?
"Since Brazilian manicures focus on the cuticles, we use special clippers that come straight from Brazil. They are much sharper so we can easily remove the inner and exposed cuticles and not just hangnails."
Why do you paint outside the nail area?
"The whole point of the Brazilian manicure is to get right to the edges of the nail. It's more precise, so it lasts longer—especially as the nails begin to grow out."
What tips would you give to someone doing a Brazilian manicure at home?
"I wouldn't recommend cutting your own cuticles at home, because using the sharp Brazilian clipper right at the nail bed could be dangerous if done incorrectly, so just push the cuticles back with an orange wood stick. Try dipping a pointed cotton bud in nail-polish remover to quickly clean up the polish on skin."
Why are manicures so important in Brazil?
"In Brazil, manicures are a weekly regimen—people consider it part to be part of their normal routine more than a lifestyle choice. When girls turn 13 in Brazil, they start this regimen that carries on with them through life."

Best SPF Foundations
Liquid Foundations work marvels for this requirement.
There are different products out there with SPF 15, so choose accord
Now figure out which shade you should be using:
Before Applying Foundation
Prep Your Skin
The first and foremost tips to apply foundation is, a foundation will look good on your skin if it is smooth and clean. You can choose a simple cleanser to remove any traces of makeup, dust or grime from your skin. Next, tone your skin using an alcohol-free toner to tighten the pores and follow up with a moisturizer. If you have dry or flaky skin, you can scrub your face with a gentle face scrub and then tone and moisturize it.
Apply a Primer
If you have large pores, it will be helpful to use a primer. Face primers also help to make the foundation application process smoother besides helping it last longer.
There are different kinds of primers out there in the market. You can use the one that it is suitable for your skin type and skin condition. A primer acts as a barrier between your skin and its foundation, keeping your pores from becoming clogged. An important tip to applying a perfect foundation is, people with oily skin should use a gel- or a water-based primer while those with dry skin should use a cream-based primer.
Dot the Foundation All Over Your Face
The best way to ensure even foundation application is to first dot it all over the face. Pump out foundation at the back of your hand and use your finger to dot it all over your face.
You can use a foundation brush too but if you use your fingers, they can help you warm up the foundation slightly which will help to blend it well.
Also, start at the centre. When you look at someone’s face, the centre of the face is what the eye naturally focuses on and this is why you need to start from here and move outwards.
Use a Foundation Brush to Spread It Evenly
If you do not want to dot the foundation all over your face, you can skip tip 3 and use a foundation brush to spread the foundation all over the face. Start from the centre, slowly moving outwards in the direction of growth of your facial hair. Use small strokes for more control. Since most people have uneven skin tone, broken capillaries, large pores and/or blemishes, the centre of the face needs more coverage.
Take your time to really blend in the foundation all over your face. You can even use a damp sponge to apply your foundation. Always start with a small amount and slowly build the layers for more coverage.

Most liquid foundations can stay put for 2 to 3 hours before the facial oils start to break it. The foundation tends to slowly fade away during the course of the day. To stop this from happening, you can use a translucent powder to set your foundation. It will make it last longer and remove any extra shine. You can carry a compact with you for touch ups when your skin gets oily in the T-zone.
• Use tissue
Once you have applied your foundation make use of a tissue, tear it in two from the middle and open it up, place it on your face and let it absorb the excess moisture from your face. This trick will help your foundation last longer.
• For even complexion
Want to prevent your foundation from oxidizing into an orange color? Try blotting your face before and after applying your foundation to give you even complexion all day long.
A quick look now at the other three foundation types:
Applying Powder Foundation: Powder foundation offers the least coverage of the four but it is quite easy to use. Most of these foundations come in a compact packaging with an applicator that you can use. Though quite easy to use, one way to get the best results from powder foundation is to build it slowly for coverage. Otherwise, it can look a bit cakey and unnatural. Mineral powder foundations are great for oily skin.
Applying Cushion Foundation: You can apply a cushion foundation similar to a powder foundation even though it has a cream-to-liquid consistency. Just tap it all over your face and build it up in the areas where you need more coverage. These foundations usually have a dewy finish and look quite natural on the skin. Just like liquid foundation, they are usually great for all skin types.
Applying Cream/Stick Foundation: Stick foundations are making a comeback. They are more suitable for dry skin and people with oily skin will find these foundations to be a bit too heavy. To apply a stick foundation, run the stick all over your face in long strokes and then use a buffing brush to blend it all in. Make sure that you blend in the direction of the growth of facial hair to make it look natural. Set it with a loose powder to make it last all day.
And now for a final bonus tip: Choose the right foundation colour for your skin tone.
It is important that the foundation shade looks natural when you apply it to your face and that it blends well with your neck. If you are blessed with good skin, you can use a tinted moisturizer or BB cream to even out your skin tone and use concealer to deal with the blemishes, saving your foundation for special occasions when you want to look perfect.

Designer Planet:How to Put On Lipstick Professionally
Lipstick is the most popular and versatile form of makeup. It has the ability to add just a hint of beauty or high drama to your look, depending on what you are going for. However, how you apply your lipstick will determine how good it will look and how long it lasts. While everybody will have their own technique or tricks for applying lipstick, if you follow these steps below you are sure to have a great finish.
The easiest way to apply lipstick is to start from the center of your lips and brush the lipstick outwards. Apply a second coat for a longer-lasting look. Blot your lipstick by closing your lips around your index finger and pulling your finger out. Read below to discover more details about lip liners, choosing the right color for your complexion, and much more!
What You Need
lip balm, lip liner, lipstick, facial tissue
Follow These Steps
Prepare Your Lips
Gently go over your lips with a soft toothbrush to remove any rough or loose skin.
When applying moisturizer to your face, massage a little into your lips too. Don't, however, use lip balm, since this would impair the indelibility of your lip makeup.
Setting Powder or Foundation
Use a lip liner

Prepare Your Lips

When applying moisturizer to your face, massage a little into your lips too. Don't, however, use lip balm, since this would impair the indelibility of your lip makeup.
Wipe the lip balm off, if necessary. Before you apply any lipstick or lip liner, check and see if there is any lip balm on your lips. If there is still some residue, wipe it off using a tissue or cotton bud. Any lip balm that's leftover will make your lips too slippery and prevent the lip liner and lipstick from sticking.
Setting Powder or Foundation
Professional makeup artists will tell you that priming your lips is a critical step in how your lipstick will look and how long it wears. It gives the lipstick something to hold on to, fills in any lines that might be present, and will minimize the chance of the lipstick bleeding. There are a few ways that you can prime your lips; you can use a setting powder or a foundation or you can use a lip liner as a base. If you are using powder make sure you apply lightly and remove any excess. The same goes for foundation. You can also use a lip liner as a base.
Use a lip liner
Choose a color that matches your lips, not your lipstick. Before drawing a line with the lip pencil, begin by dotting it at various points along the outline of your lips. Then, drawing very lightly, use the liner to connect the dots.
Apply Lipstick
The lipstick should be applied starting at center and moving outwards. You should apply at least two coats of lipstick, blotting in between coats.
BlotBlotting serves to keep lipstick off of your teeth and to make the lipstick last longer. To blot the inside of your lips you can put your finger in your mouth, close your lips around it, then gently pull out your finger. You can also fold a sheet of tissue in half, place it between your lips and gently press down on the tissue.
Fixing Outside the Line
If you have lipstick on any area outside of your lip line, you can use concealer to fix it. You can use a cotton swab or a lip brush to take care of these areas, by gently touching them, making sure to blend the concealer into your foundation.
