Finding the perfect haircut can sometimes be a real challenge. However, if you try to learn some elementary things about your face shape, you can discover what haircuts flatter you the most and which are the ones you need to avoid. Remember though that you also have to pay attention to your lifestyle and personality. Take a look to some tricks on how to choose the right haircut and find one for your face shape

.
Before anything you should know a few basic ideas. First of all, always keep in mind that bangs are the ideal choice if you want to hide a too large forehead. In this sense, any type of bangs would work. As for curls, they are always a glam option, but they flatter the most a round or square face. However, for round faces, try not to make too big curls. The color of your hair also plays a major role in your haircut. For example, if you want to add some depth to your haircut, go for highlights or for a combination of two different tones, a lighter and a darker one.

Eye make-up depending on eye shape

Eyes are perhaps the most interesting part of our face. Their beauty comes not so much in their form as in their expressiveness. We like and want to highlight them and can not do better it anyway than with make-up. Before creating an eye make-up, take a look to: the eye color, hair color, clothes and eye shape! We will present few basic principles, for the most common eye forms, and we advise you to take them into account when realizing a make-up.

• Almond-shaped eyes are considered ideal, are beautiful by nature and may be make-up in any way, the effect is always a sensual look;

• Round eyes should be emphasized by using dark shades of make-up. The first step is shaping with black eyeliner or eye shadow, the upper and lower eyelash line, following the natural line of the eye, drawing an elongated line. Everything is complete with mascara that should be more abundant on the eyelashes of the outside corner (also, if you opt for false eyelashes, you should apply also on the outside corner);

• “Dropped” eyes, should be make-up in the following way: use dark make-up color in the external corner, also, use mascara only on the external eyelashes, and highlight the inner corner with a beige tone or a silver paint.

• Near (one to close to the other) eyes – Use lighter shades of eye shadow in the inner corner, near the nose and darker make-up on the other side;

• Eyes with big distances between – make-up shades are used in the exact opposite way, as mentioned above.

• Widened eyes – first you have to constantly use the cream for eyelids; use concealar to lighten the make-up color. It is recommended not to abuse contour and the use of brown mascara.

I hope these few tips will help you. The other advice I have for you is to see a make-up artist at least once, take all the necessary advice and use them afterwards.

A nude color lipstick contains more essential oils and less pigment. Used oils, which often give a certain smell to the lipstick, are: castor-oil, lanolin, cocoa butter, olive oil or mineral oil, and small, fine particles, are obtained by adding silica dust.

     Know if you have a warm or a cool skin tone. The easiest way to find out is to look at the veins on your inner wrist. If they appear green, then you have a warm skin tone; if they appear blue, you should go for cooler tones. Many cosmetics say right on the package if a color is for a warm or cool skin tone, which makes the selection process even easier.

     Pick something that flatters your complexion. If you're fair skinned, stay away from dark colors that can overpower your face. Stick with pale pinks and berry shades to give yourself a little bit of natural color. Medium to olive tones work well with such neutrals as apricots, beiges and nudes. If you have dark skin, you can be bolder and choose shades of mauve, red and berry.

     3 Keep it light and layer the color for daily wear. To avoid applying too much color, choose a sheer lip color and layer it on until you get the desired effect. This strategy gives you the hint of color that you want, but doesn't make you stand out in a crowd.

        You want more volume? Apply a beige blush, a shade lighter than the foundation, around the lips. The contrast between dark and light will give the feeling of volume.
        Another trick is to color the white area outside the lips with an lip liner that has the same color as the lipstick.
