Eyeshadow is having a moment

Thu, Jun 23, 2011

Having watched some of the best make-up artists in Brown Thomas work for years, when it comes to eyeshadow, the mantra is always the same: blend, blend, blend. Start off by covering the eye area with a good primer, such as MAC’s painterly, the closest to human skin colour you will ever find. This covers all the imperfections and gives the shadow something to stick to. If you have oily lids you will love this product. Then, using a good brush (I like MAC 217) swirl the make-up around, tap the excess off, and then really work that brush so that no hard lines are visible. Remember not to use the darkest colour too close to the brow bone, unless you are in drag. Then not only is it OK, but appropriate.

The golden rules for great weight loss

Thu, Jun 16, 2011

1. Your metabolism is the master controller of your weight loss — even more than diet or exercise. Metabolism faults (like high blood sugar, constipation, bloating, sluggish liver, hormone imbalances, and sluggish thyroid) will limit or stop your weight loss no matter how much dieting or exercise you do. Addressing your metabolism problems opens the door to better and easier weight loss.

2. Too much dieting or too much exercise kills your metabolism and you will not lose weight. Your diet must be balanced with your exercise to keep your metabolism strong. One of the worst things you can do is under-eat.
