Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for beginner blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
I came across this article about a particular cosmetics line and the information in it is very valuable for anyone to use. Whether it is this line or DivaGlam, or any other line you want to use.
The thing about women is that we are very diversified when it comes to makeup and I know that, I myself have several items from several other lines that I enjoy and use as well as my own line. So please don’t hesitate to try out different lines, what may work for this women and be good for her may not necessarily be good for you. So do try other things, by all means if it works then use it. Enjoy the article.

CREATING INDIVIDUALIZED LOOKS
Avant-garde or glamorous evening looks are created using more contrast in color tones. Colors chosen can contrast dramatically with each other or with personal coloring. At night, try highlights with shimmer and deep contour shadows. For a bold or playful look try using colors from both warm and cool families. One idea combines the golden Sunstone and Tigereye shades on the eyes with blue-based Garnet applied to the lips.
FACE COLOR
CONCEALER glides on with the flat side and tip of the concealer-face brush or sponge. Apply to discolored areas. Blend away edges.
FOUNDATION can be applied with the concealer-face brush in a stroking motion or use a sponge with a patting motion. Foundation should be applied from the center of the face to the perimeter. This provides coverage where needed and less chance of a “lollipop look” when the face and neck do not match.
BLUSH should look like “pinched cheeks” with color along the cheekbone. This is accomplished with the contour-blush brush in a motion lifting color from under the bone, onto the bone. Work the brush from the mid-ear toward the apple of the cheek. The apple of the cheek is the raised pad of flesh seen when you smile. This lifting style of blush application enhances bone structure by framing the cheekbones.
BRIGHTENER applied with the contour-blush brush adds a glow as desired on the forehead, chin or eyelids. The brightener can be brushed along cheekbones to blend blush application or to use instead of blusher altogether.
BRONZER can be used as a contour to define bone structure or create a sun-kissed glow to the entire face. Contour the cheekbone by applying bronzer with the contour-blush brush horizontally under the cheekbone from mid-ear to the area below the outer brow. Lift the brush upward to blend. Contour the jaw line with bronzer under the jaw-bone. Start behind the ear and work toward the chin. The nose is contoured downward along the sides from the inner brow to the tip of the nose. Be sure to squeeze the brush between the thumb and forefinger to keep the shading narrow along the sides of the nose. Dusting bronzer across nose, cheek-bones, chin and forehead perimeter and into the hairline creates a healthy glow. Note: Blending with foundation before applying can soften the effects of any shade.
EYE COLOR
EYELID BASE fully covers eyelid from lash to brow. Base works to block any natural darkness and provide a surface over which any other shadow will glide. Use both sides of eye shadow brush to apply in “windshield wiper” strokes. (Crystal, Opal, Tigereye, Concealer*)
EYE HIGHLIGHT accents brow arch, but does not cover entire browbone. Apply with pointed tip of eye shadow brush pressing up into brow arch and blending in a one-inch wide arc. Too much light color on the browbone creates a detracting “awning effect.” Your eyes should be the true stars of your makeup.
EYELID COLOR covers the area from the lash line to the socket and brow bone. A bright, light shadow (brightener*) can be applied to lid above the iris to accent a deep-set eye. A deep, taupe shade (Geode) can make a large, prominent lid appear less so. Apply with the flat side of the eye shadow brush in a pressing motion across the area holding the point toward the lashes and the handle upward.
EYE CONTOUR defines bone structure. Apply with the tapered side of the eye shadow brush. Stroke on shadow from the outer eye inward along the brow bone to an area above the inner iris. Blend upward and outward so there are no visible lines.
EYE LINER can be defined or smudged but should always connect to the base of the lashes. Special looks can be created by varying color and technique at top and bottom lash lines, but liner color should not be brighter than eye color. A smudged line is created with the tapered side or tip of eye shadow brush. A defined line is created with shadow on the tip of the eyeliner brush. This brush can be used damp or dry. The eyeliner brush is most effective when held like a pencil with the handle pointing downward. The brush can then press “hyphens” of color up into top and bottom lash lines. Work liner from the outer eye inward, so liner never stops abruptly, but subtly. The more wet the brush, the more defined the effect and intense the color.
EYEBROW COLOR should frame and lift the eye with a groomed arch shape. Work color into the brow hairs or onto the skin with the eyeliner brush in a stroking motion. The color mixture should match or harmonize with hair color tone. (Geode or mixture)
DivaGlam Brush Set
Note: Remember to tap excess color off brushes first to avoid messy shadow and liner application. Never blow excess color off brushes. This may introduce bacteria into your brushes and shadows, causing eye infections. Any shadow that falls onto cheekbone is easily cleaned up using foundation on the concealer-foundation brush and gliding on under the eye and along the top of the cheekbone.
Brush Care: Shampoo Franché® quality brushes weekly in mild soap, rinsing thoroughly and squeezing out excess water Spray or dip into rubbing alcohol, squeeze to remove excess, and reshape. Dry flat on a towel. Alcohol speeds the drying process by displacing the water NEVER soak or immerse brushes in liquid, only moisten bristles to clean. Correct brush care lengthens brush life and assures a cleaner makeup application.
Note: Wash sponges daily with soap and water to keep long lasting products clean.
EYE TREAT is a light creamy concealer base and under eye treatment that has been infused with herbs. It should be applied sparingly under the eye and extended outward above the cheekbone. This helps plump delicate eye tissue and minimize the appearance of lines and dark circles. Use Eye Treat to blend and remoisturize under eye area any as needed. This base works best when used with Franché® concealer.
DivaGlam TransFix
BROW TAME as the name implies, controls brows to hold a groomed arch. If you have used Franché® pigments to design your brow shape, use Brow Tame to set the color.

I really like what you guys are up too. Such clever work and reporting! Keep up the fantastic works guys I’ve added you guys to my blogroll.
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Cheers
I am really loving the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?

Okay so nude lips are diffently in and I was sent this article from one of my sources and thought you might enjoy the method that was used to create this look. DivaGlam has some fantastic nude colors for you to use without having to go though these steps used here but it is a very interesting article. Enjoy it, feel free to comment.
MeChelle,
Quick Experiment: Creating nude lips using concealer & gloss
By retail_therapy · December 30, 2009 · 10 Comments · 102 Views
Hi!
One reader was asking me if nude lips can be created using a foundation/concealer followed by a lipgloss… and I thought that would make a rather fun and useful blog post. I tried on two conealer shades in this experiment, and I will explain everything along the way!
Step One: This is my natural lip color without any products.
First I used NYX Concealer in a Jar (Porcelene) which is frankly too pale for me as a concealer. As you can see, this color erases my lip color completely, too pale and ghastly for my liking. It also looks drying, especially on the lower lip.
Then, I applied MAC’s Underage lipglass over, for some definition and texture.
Still very pale, but I will show you the whole face to put things into perspective.
Then I tried another concealer, which is the peachy shades in the Ben Nye concealer wheel. These are darker in tone. Again, very drying on the lips. I don’t think the difference is very obvious in the pictures.
The verdict?? I think if you like really nude lips, you can certainly try this out! Kind of drying on the lips though, and also, I guess you can do this as a last resort, if you want to explore the whole pale/ nude lips thingy, but not sure if you want to pay for a nude lipstick at MAC or something, because we know it is hard to find a nice nude lipstick at drugstore price range – though I highly recommmend NYX round lipsticks for cheap alternatives.
That’s all, and happy holidays!
I am thinking my first entry for 2010 will be a product rave….and I guess you have a pretty good idea what that will be.

Eyes
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Eyes are the focus of makeup – catty looks that create an almond-shape effect. Colors don’t follow the trend of the 40s and 50s. You can choose the ones which suit you best, but keep in mind that this season we’ll be seeing a lot of dark or navy blue, coffee, ochre, and browns in general. Remember to finish off your eyes’ look and almond shape with a touch of black. Eyeliner is a strong trend this year. Automatic Eyeliner by Yves Saint Laurent is a good choice. Its incredible precision will make it your perfect ally for the season.Add mystery to your eyes
To add mystery and glamour to your eyes, you mustn’t forget to apply mascara. Choose the one that suits your style best. Black is an all-time favorite, but dark blue is also a good option this season.
Lips
This season’s lips come in strong colors. Red tones are a fury, together with the whole range of plum, raspberry and Bordeaux colors. Don’t forget to treat them before applying makeup. Remember that firm healthy skin will really improve the way their look. Don’t forget to apply lip liner to keep the lipstick from smearing. This season’s tones are dark or very defined, so your stroke must be perfect. The shape you give is up to you but a Cupid‘s bow will make your lips look very sensual.

Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
http://www.divaglamcosmeticsllc.com/
Okay so yesturday I wrote to all of you about the exciting new site I discovered from Kim Kardashian. I told all of you about the questions that you answer in order for them to get you style likes and dislikes down. Well today when I opened up my e-mail they had already gotten my style and sent me my first suggestions for shoes. I am going to share them with you. I must say that there are really two pair that I absolutely could see myself wearing. Following is the e-mail that I received from MY PERSONAL SHOE SHOPPERS!

Although I already own a pair that looks simiular I would rate this shoe a B+

DivaGlam Harvest Colors
DivaGlam Cosmetics
This weekend I have to clean and organize my closet and makeup bag to make way for the new season. Honestly, just thinking about it makes me tired, but it has to be done.
I do the same thing every year – I organize the clothes in my closet, take out everything I don’t wear, and store the rest for next spring/summer. Then I get out my fall/winter clothing and put it in the closet.
I do the same with my beauty and makeup products. I review everything I have, get rid of things I don’t use, and save things I don’t plan on using right now. Order is very important to me even though I am not a big fan of the procedure that gets me there…
How about you? How do you prepare for the beginning of the new season?
Have a DIVAlicious Day,
MeChelle Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. But just imagine if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche. Amazing blog!
I really like your blog.. very nice colors and theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. thanks
I receive this e-mail from one of my favorite sources. I love it so I decided to share the look and the article with all of you. Hope you enjoy it.

Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
I have been in the makeup business since 1984 and when I first started you had to mix colors of makeup to get the right color for certain skin colors. Sometimes it worked sometimes it was just a little off.
Since that time I have researched and studied and applied and tried all types of cosmetics and all products that claimed to be for the color of women. It was not until recent years that most major cosmetic companies decided that our color range was worth investing in.
In 2004 I founded DivaGlam Cosmetics and began to use my own line to put on my models and women who wanted a product that looked natural on them. Now a days there are so many companies that are trying to do the same thing. I have found only a few that really cater to the color of women and today I am going to talk about one of them. Sacha Cosmetics, was founded and formulated with the color of women in mind. It is a yellow based product and that works for most skin coloring.
The color ranges from very light to very dark and it works for all colors in between. To see their full line please visit their website at http://www.sachacosmetics.com/, I am sure you will find a shade to fit your needs.
If discoloration is a problem their camoflage makeup with cover and stay on all day and look natural so no one will be able to tell where the problems are.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

I am curious to find out what blog platform you have been utilizing? I’m having some minor security problems with my latest website and I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any solutions?
