How to Apply Individual Cluster False Eyelashes by Mika Does Makeup
Hello, I’m Mika from MikaDoesMakeup.Com and I’ll be showing you how to apply Individual Cluster False Eyelashes on my lovely model, Parsuoa. First you pick up your Individual Cluster False Eyelashes from the loose end with a pair of tweezers (I used QUO). Then you will lightly dip the gathered part of the Eyelashes into some DUO Eyelash Glue. Let it stand for about 20 seconds before applying the Individual Cluster False Eyelash directly above the natural eyelash line. Then repeat until the eye is full of lashes to your desire. VOILA!!!!
New Fall Makeup Trend for Lips - Blood Red Hot Lips
Pick a Red Lipstick that best suits your skin tone. (I really love MAC’s Ruby Woo, Dubonet…) Apply it directly from the tube then line your lips with the same red before applying another coat. PUCKER UP!!
What are the Procedures and Benefits to Eyelash and Eyebrow Tinting? Is it Safe?
The process to Tinting your Eyelashes and/or Eyebrows is safe, inexpensive, painless and easy. The product I use is a specially made vegetable dye to tint your lashes which means it is definately safe around your eyes. There are a range of colors to choose from to enhance your Eyelashes and I will let you know what the best result will be for you. If you want dark sexy Eyelashes I usually go for the Black, or the Blue-Black for extra noticable Eyelashes. If you are really fair, I will use a dark brown or a brown for you Eyelashes. Eyebrows tend to usually look better the same colour as your hair.

Listen up Ladies! The new Makeup Trends for Fall 2009 are in!!
If you want to accentuate your Lips use bright, bold and rich hues such as orange, purple, fuschia, red or pink! Just remember to keep your eye makeup light and natural when using a bright lipstick shade. (Here is a pic of Scarlet Johansen wearing the bright red lipstick.)
If lips aren’t your thing… Put the focus where you want them! The trend colours for Eyes are rich, dark shades that include brown, green, gold and bronze…. purple is also a popular colour for the Fall. Dramatic smoky eye makeup is still trendy so make sure you have a black kohl eye liner to rim your eyes! For a little more emphasize on your eyes, add a little bit of sparkle or metallic eyeshadow to your look! Once again, if you’re wearing heavy eye makeup, don’t outweigh your look with a heavy lip colour. Wear a nude lip or a plain gloss if you’re doing a smoky eye so your overall look isn’t so overwhelming or “trampy”! Here is a pic with emphasize on the eyes…
For Nails, dark purple, gold and bronze hues are a hot commodity!
Leave your Eyebrows alone!! The natural look is back so don’t over-tweeze!
Looks for Hair include long flowing hair looking big, volumized and sexy, mermaid waves (1940′s waves), as well as the sleek and straight. Here are a few examples:
During a short vacation away from the busy city of Vancouver, while up at http://www.islandcottage-bc.com, I ended up doing a men’s back wax. Before I start, I prep the skin with a powder to soak up any oils or sweat… Then I apply the warm depilatory wax directly on the skin with the hair growth. I apply a wax strip on top of the wax that I just applied on the skin leaving enough room on the bottom of the strip so I can grab onto it. When my client is ready I grab a piece of the wax strip tightly, then pull super fast on a parallel angle against the hair growth. The faster the better. I apply pressure directly after I remove the strip to relieve some of the pain that may be present. I apply a moisturizing oil to remove any excess wax, then a post wax gel to soothe the skin.
It’s not recommended to combine wax and sun, although I still waxed my client’s back since I had permission from him to do it on the dock outside. Please do not try this at home!
Here are a couple pics snapped from my vacation, while doing a men’s back wax:
