How many of these lipstick mistakes are you guilty of

No face is truly made up without a swipe of lipstick as a finishing touch.

But, do you follow these rules when applying your favourite lippie?

Not exfoliating

Dry skin is a pain, no matter where on your body it is.

But your lips can be the most obvious, not to mention painful parts to experience dryness.

Combat this by gently exfoliating with a homemade scrub made of sugar to have a baby soft pouter.

Using the wrong shade

Using the wrong colour of lipstick can wash your face out or give your lips a shape they don't need.

Darker colours can make your lips look thinner.

While light shades can make your lips look oversized.

 Not setting your lipstick

You've heard of setting spray for your make up, but there's a whole different approach when it comes to setting your lipstick in place.

The simplest approach to setting your lips is to apply a sheen of setting powder after the colour has dried.

But, if you want to try a new method, apply primer after your lip liner and watch your lips look fab all night long.

Over lining your lips

Lip liners are used to prevent your lipstick bleeding out of your lips and to make sure your make up lasts longer.

Never use a shade much darker than your lipstick as it can make you look older.

Top 10 Best Base Coats for Nail Polish

Image
Raise your hand if you've ever skipped your base coat when doing your nails. Now that we all have our hands up, let's take a moment to talk about if base coats are worth your time. The argument for base coats. Yes, they add one more bottle to fit into your polish stash, but for the most part, the main reason people skip the base coat step is to save time. It's an extra step, more drying time, and no one looking at your nails can tell you skipped it (probably) so what's the harm? The thing is, the lasting power your manicure is only as good as your base coat. So if the problem is you barely have time to do your nails as it is, skipping a base coat almost guarantees your polish will be chipping in a day or two and you'll have to spend more time taking your now messy manicure off and polishing again. Base coats make your nail polish last chip-free longer so you won't need to do your nails twice a week if you won't want to. It's a time-saver overall. Skipp...

Sesame Street Introduces A Muppet In Foster Care

Image
In another effort to make sure all kids can see themselves represented onscreen, Sesame Street just introduced a new character. Her name is Karli, and she’s in foster care. Karli and her “for-now” parents Dalia and Clem made their debut on the Street this week, and we already know this sweet new muppet will be a fantastic addition to the show. Karli is part of the “Sesame Street in Communities” program, which is designed to create and provide free resources for community providers and caregivers who work on tough issues like homelessness, divorce, grief and traumatic experiences. All the “Sesame Street in Communities” resources are free and available in multiple languages, and honestly, Sesame Street is just too good and pure for this world. In addition to appearing on the show, Karli is featured in YouTube videos for the program so more kids can see her online. In one video, called “On Your Team,” Elmo’s dad, Louie, chats with Dalia and Clem about the experience of being foste...

Could Sadie Sink Become the New Face of Ethical Fashion

Image
Sadie Sink, also known as Max Mayfield in Stranger Things season two, has quickly joined the likes of Millie Bobby Brown, Storm Reid, and Zendaya as a Gen Z fashion powerhouse. These young women aren't hitting the red carpet in princess dresses and pink sparkles; they're wearing looks straight off the runway or, in Brown's case, collaborating with brands like Calvin Klein on age-appropriate custom frocks. Back in March, Sink opened the Undercover show in Paris and cemented her status as a serious fashion fan; with 3.9 million Instagram followers, the 15-year-old also introduced the avant-garde Japanese label to a lot of kids who'd probably never heard of it. A few days ago, Sink wore on-the-rise label Hiraeth Collective, the 100 percent vegan line Rooney Mara launched with her friend Sarah Schloat in February. The elegant puffed-sleeve black-and-white dress was made with zero animal-based materials; instead of silk, for instance, Mara and her team developed a Japane...
