Foundation for The Black WomanWritten by Lape Soetan
The Black Woman seems to fall into one of three schools of thought when it comes to using foundation. The women who go overboard with foundation and end up with thick, ‘pancake’ look; others who don’t see need for foundation, hate ‘pancake’ look they see on other women and therefore stay away from foundation totally and then there are women who realise that foundation is a useful and sometimes necessary tool, who have practised with different shades and formulas of foundations and have learnt to create ‘flawless skin’ look made possible with discreet use of foundation. The truth is that every woman should belong to third school of thought and should know that very few women have wonderful skin everyday. For discerning woman, illusion of perfect skin is achieved by using right foundation properly. The feeling you get from having seemingly perfect skin is akin to what you feel when you finally find a pair of black trousers that suit you perfectly – immense confidence. There are two important features to look for when choosing foundation and they are colour and formula or type of foundation. Unlike a lot of women apparently think, foundation is not meant to be colour you wish your skin was but is supposed to be your exact skin shade. The only way to choose right colour of foundation for your skin is to experiment by trying different colours. Of course, this experiment may turn out to be a little expensive but think of it as research towards creating a better-looking you! To discover perfect colour match for your skin, dab a little foundation onto your finger and draw a line with foundation onto your cheek. If base disappears into your skin and you can’t see it, then it is perfect shade for you. Choosing a specific foundation type or formula depends on your skin type and reason you need foundation. For example: use oil-free foundation if you have oily skin, moisturizing formulas for dry skin and special, light-reflecting formulas for mature skin. Liquid formulas give skin complete coverage but tend to make skin look ‘opaque’. They are best used for photo shoots, music videos, shows and such events. 2-in-1 formulas combine foundation and powder and are best for everyday use.
| | The Key to Natural Breast EnhancementWritten by Jason Hulott
Having nicely shaped, rounded breasts can make a woman feel sexier and confident, there is no doubt about that. However, with surgical breast enlargement procedures (such as breast augmentation and breast lifts) having a number of alarming side effects, more and more women are turning towards natural breast enhancement. Post-operative effects of surgical breast augmentation can include a hardening of breasts; infection; and (sometimes permanent) loss of sensation in nipples. Implants may also leak or break, causing a change in shape and feel of breasts and a great deal of discomfort. And while majority of typical breast augmentation related problems can be treated, it often involves removing implant (after waiting for any infection to clear) and replacing it with another meaning yet more invasive surgery. There are many non surgical products and methods that claim to enlarge, enhance and lift your breasts such as creams; special bras; using weights and even, hypnosis. However, more and more women are now turning to breast enlargement pills as a way of enlarging and enhancing their breasts. Breast enlargement pills can help women to enhance their breasts and gain breast size without resorting to synthetic hormones and risky, invasive surgery.
