Protect your Contact Lens from Summer

Wearing glasses in summer is a big mess! Especially when you are outside and sweat is dripping across your forehead while you are busy wiping your nose and glasses with a same hankie! Yawk! I just hate wearing glasses in summer and I am sure most of you do the same.
However, wearing contact lens in summer is also not an easy task. Those delicate membranes are highly sensitive to heat and hence, need a lot more attention and care for your eyes to remain healthy, happy and glasses-free.
Here are some special tips to protect your contact lens from the terrible heat of sun in the summer:
  1. Use Waterproof Sunscreen: It’s always better for contact lens wearers to use waterproof sun screen in summers so when they swim or sweat their sunscreen doesn’t drip into their eyes and cause that painful sting and red eyes.
  2. Use Waterproof Mascara: Same goes for mascara. When you are wearing contact lens in summer, make sure to use waterproof mascara so that your mascara don’t irritate your eyes or damage your contact lens.
  3. Wear UV protecting sunglasses: sunglasses not only protect your eyes from damaging rays of sun but also save your contact lens from heat and debris from blowing into your eyes. Besides, sun glasses also prevent dry eyes caused by warm wind.
  4. Wear goggles while swimming: Swimming in summers is fun, but you definitely don’t want your dear contact lens to float in the swimming pool water! Do you? So always wear goggles while swimming if you are wearing contact lens, as goggles will prevent water from going into your eyes.
  5. Avoid AC/fan direct blow: It feels so relaxing to stand in front of AC/Coolers to delight in the chill air but direct air is not good for your contact lens as it will dry your eyes and your lens might fall off because of dryness. Plus, always keep some lubricating eye drops at hand.
  6. Splash with cold water: Whenever you come from outside, splash cold water into your eyes to relieve your contact lens from heat.
  7. Rose Water: a drop or two of chill rose water before sleeping will rejuvenate your eyes of all day exhaustion and fatigue.
  8. Take a break: It’s always better to give your eyes some break from contact lens. Whether it’s of few hours in the morning, one day a week, or for the entire weakened, break is must for your eyes to stay happy and healthy. 
Your eyes are nature’s greatest blessings, take care of them. Stay safe, stay beautiful!

Bridal Make-up Tips

 

Wedding day is the most memorable and cherished day of one’s life. It is essential to get makeup perfectly flawless by a renowned beautician. Here are some useful tips related to it.

Get Facials
Never get facial a day before the wedding or at that day. Likewise pluck or wax eyebrows at least two days before the occasion
Don’t use alpha hydroxy or retin A cream a day before the wedding.

Cleanse
Before putting makeup the skin must be prepared by deeply cleansing and then moisturizing it 15 to 20 minutes before applying base.
Use concealar in very small amount, it can highlight the part of face it is heavily applied.
The shade of the foundation and concealer should be similar.

Base

Apply foundation according to the tone of the skin. Don’t skip the neck, arms and feet. For oily skin use water based formula and dab gently with a loose powder to absorb extra oil and enhance its staying power. Use pigmented cream foundation then apply powder base over it.
Blusher
Powder based blush is the most suitable of all. Ask the bride to smile then cover the area that naturally blushes. Keep it light otherwise it will look too artificial.
Light contouring of nose and face line is necessary. It should be done with the shades of browns not pinks.
Lipstick

Avoid using gloss. Use lipstick that lasts and is perfectly matched with the shades of the dress. For neutral colored outfit pink or red is appropriate. Dab talcum powder over the lipstick then apply another layer of it to make it more resistant. It is wise to apply with a brush and merge the outline with it. Blend two shades to have the required color tone. Use balm, lacquer or a primer on lips before applying lip color.
Lipliner should be similar in color with the lipstick or it will look a bit awkward.
Follow the natural lip outline. Do not apply beyond that it looks so ugly and untidy.


Eye-Makeup
This is the most important area. Use light base over eye lids. Matching eye shadows with the dress color or motif look stunningly attractive. For brides it is heavy with two or more shades.
Apply eye liner black or colored as the requirement.
Use extended lash mascara. Let it dry then apply another coating to enhance the lashes. Mascara gel that is transparent can be a good alternate to black mascara if there is a strong chance of that leaving spots over the eye lids or below the eyes.
I hope these handy tips will certainly help a great deal in having a perfect makeup experience. Moreover, seek assistance from a makeup expert and do some internet surfing to get extra information.
Have a great time!
