Makeup Tutorial: How to Apply Eyeliner




Before explaining how to apply eyeliner I'll first talk about the many types of eyeliners. Then I will explain how to do a cat eye, a smokey eye and a basic eye for daytime.

There are three types of eyeliner: an eyeliner pencil, a liquid liner or a eyeshadow tutorial.
• Shadow eyeliner: The third type is to use your eyeshadow using a brush or the eyeshadow applicator. How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner
Line the eye from the inner corner of the eye in one big sweep.

The Basic Daytime Eye
Once you've done that you apply an eye pencil or the eye shadow to the lower lashes. When applying to the lower lashes you can use a different color if you want. The Always popular Smoky Eye
• Apply eyeliner from the inner corner of the eye outward. • Apply a deep color shadow over the eyeliner to set the line.
Once the line is drawn, run your finger over it to smudge the line.

The Cat Eye
• Apply liquid liner along the upper lash line from corner to corner of eye, extending the line upward at the outer corner of eye. Let liner dry.
• Apply liner only to the outer three quarters of the rim and extend the line upwards at the outer corners.

I made Minions Costumes




Okay, I love the movie Despicable Me.  Honestly I love those little minion costume.

Roll of 1 inch foam (I used 2 rolls for all 3 of my minions)
Bright yellow spray paint
2 packages of black pipe cleaners ( I cut mine in half)
Velcro
Hot glue gun
100 Hot glue sticks (not really 100 but you need a bunch)
1 Sheet of white felt
1 Sheet black felt
Scissors
Fleece (black, blue, and yellow)

Reason number one, inspiration.  Reason number 2, keep the kids entertained while you make the costumes.

Then just cut it out.

Glue them together.  Love that!

I took my oatmeal container and cut it into round strips.  Then I used the duct tape to mark out arm holes, which I then cut out.

I figured out the circumference of my minion divided it in half, and added a little for seam allowance.  I cut 2 pieces of the blue fleece to the dimensions that I figured out.

Then I glued the pants to the foam top.  I made a little overall flap out of a rectangle of fleece.  Then I cut out 1 inch strips to be straps of the overalls and glued those on as well.
I cut long strips of black fleece and lined the opening.  I also glued on strips to make the strap of the eye goggles.

Then just glue on the hair.  Remember how my points wouldn't stay perfectly together?  Well I used the gap to glue the hair into.

I can tell you that my boys love these costumes!!

The Venus Factor Program

The Venus factor is a weight loss program that is designed for women. If your Venus index is higher than normal, you are supposed to lose weight; however, if the index is low, you should plan on gaining weight.
Other than guiding you on how to determine your Venus index, the program also has the following: body centric eating guide, workout manual and schedule, and community membership.

The body centric eating guide shows you the foods that you should eat to achieve your ideal shape and weight. Leptin is a hormone that aids in increasing the rate of metabolism; therefore, when the levels of leptin are high, the rate of metabolism is high thus you lose weight fast. Venus factor exercises are aimed at regulating body fat, and toning and sculpting body muscles. The Venus factor goes for only $47.
