•      Always make sure your priming skin-care products are completely blended before putting on makeup.Are you the kind of person who slaps on your serums and primers and immediately puts on your foundation? Yeah, I used to be like that, too. But Di Sarro told me it's crucial to make sure all your priming ingredients are really blended in if you want your makeup to stay in place. Otherwise, certain areas of your face may appear shinier because your serum and moisturizer didn't fully seep into the skin. Di Sarro blended M.A.C. Prep + Prime Essential Oils,Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Eye Cream, and__Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Base in Yellow.
• Put foundation only where you need it. Guess what? You don't always have to follow all the rules! (Well, at least when it comes to the directions on your foundation bottle.) You should apply foundation only where you need coverage. For example, Di Sarro applied Studio Waterwight SPF 30 Foundation on my cheeks and chin but put hardly any on my forehead. She covered up any imperfections with K-Beautiful Face - Prep + Prime Highlighter in Radiant Rose.
• Do your brow and eye makeup first. This is important because as Di Sarro puts it, your eyebrows "create the mood of the makeup" and form a guideline for your eyes. It's also pretty much a given that when you do your eye makeup, something bad is bound to happen. You may accidentally smudge some liquid liner on your cheek or you may have to redo your cat eye a few (dozen) times, for instance. Do all the eye stuff before you apply blush or lipstick so you don't ruin the makeup you spent 20 minutes working on. For my brows, Di Sarro lightly patted some extra foundation under my brow bone and brushed Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow Set in Bold Brunette through my arches.

tamilnadu femina 2018

Tamil Nadu: Initially, I was disappointed when the top 3 were chosen. But with time, I have learnt that this is one of the best and the most diverse Top 3 ( in terms of looks and strengths and weaknesses ) of the South Zone. This batch is a major upgrade to the one we had last year from Tamil Nadu where Sherlin was the obvious winner. The finalists Anukeerthy, Esha and Matisha are good on their own ways. If I were to choose résumé wise and the one who will never fail me on ramp then it would be Esha Gohil. She is a super model who is aspiring to be a Miss India. Her only Achilles Heel could be her body. She needs to work on it asap. Coming to Matisha, I won’t mind if she wins. She is like the perfect girl one wants to see in Miss India with a combination of great face, good smile, good hair, good body etc. If FMI wants a more balanced girl and don’t wish to take risks, they might go with Matisha. Anukeerthy is also good, her height might be little bit of a pull down but her speaking skills are bang on. I think one among Esha Gohil and Matisha will win Tamil Nadu. I see all the three in the competition though.

Airbrush Makeup Machine

Airbrush Makeup  Machine

An airbrush makeup machine consists of three main parts – the airbrush stylus, the air compressor and the air hose which connects the two. Most are main powered to maintain constant energy to and from the air compressor, although some kits have an optional battery pack for when mains power is not accessible.

While the air hose and compressors do not vary much between kits, the stylus can be bought in various varieties, although most stylus’ for airbrush makeup are very similar. The three features of an airbrush stylus which may very are:

1. The method of feeding the product into the system
2. The point at which the product and air combine
3. The action the trigger has.

The stylus may be gravity, suction or side-fed, but for airbrush makeup, the most common type is the gravity-fed system, as it requires less energy than the other methods. This means the product is put into a reservoir sitting on top of the stylus and is drawn down into the chamber by gravity.

The point where the product and air combine may be within the air chamber or outside the chamber at the tip of the stylus. Airbrush makeup kits generally use the internal meeting point because it is more suited to gravity fed systems. It also means that the mist of product that is produced from the stylus is finer and therefore lighter. This looks more natural and is less likely to cause blobs of makeup.

In an airbrush makeup machine, the feature which is most often varied is the action that the trigger has. There are two options – single or dual action. A single action trigger will release the air pressure and product in one. If the air pressure can be varied, it will generally be instead controlled by a dial on the air compressor instead. Alternatively, a dual trigger stylus will be able to alter both the air pressure and the product, for example, push it down to release the product, pull it back to control the pressure.

25 Mermaid Hair Color Ideas- jayesh sulthan

25 Mermaid Hair Color Ideas

 Jayesh Sulthan
1. Gray MermaidInstagram
The gray hair trend is never going to die, and in combination with mermaid hues, this look is absolute perfection. The dark black roots have been expertly blended out to a beautiful aqua which then seamlessly transitions to a beautiful gray.
2. Aquamarine WavesInstagram
If this is what real mermaids look like, give us a pair of binoculars and leave us stranded at the beach. These beautifully long beach waves have evenly taken color to create a flawless aquamarine look. If you love aqua colors, there is no way you won’t fall head over heels with this style.

3. Ruby LocksInstagram
Who doesn’t love a Victorian mermaid? This style has been perfected with lavender, pink, and ruby tones that add dimension and volume. This style incorporates vivid ruby hues near the crown section which melt into a pink and then to a lavender, and you move further down the layers.
4. Ocean DepthsInstagram
Could the name for this style be apter? With colors that were picked from the depths of the ocean, this hairstyle is one of the best mermaid looks that we’ve come across. The deep blue roots fade to an aqua with electric green streaks that add movement. The style then picks up color again, transitioning to a deep berry blue at the tips. This style is, no doubt, a deep-sea masterpiece.
5. Silver KelpInstagram
We love green hair, especially in this style. The black to silver-gray roots pick up a phantom green creating a balayage effect. The style is dimensional and creates enough volume to be perfect for women with medium-length fine hair.

6. Sea Green SombreInstagram
Talking about fine hair and creating dimension, this style has nailed the concept. With a deep green at the roots that fade out at the tips, this hair color looks phenomenal. The best part is that you won’t have to lighten your hair too much to achieve this look. The natural yellow tones add dimension and look beautiful when weaved into the green.
7. Sea PrincessInstagram
A foreign mermaid princess who loves peacocks? Sounds pretty apt. With tones of jade, teal, and royal blue, this style is nothing short of perfect. The multi-toned locks help create movement, making this style perfect for women seeking volume.
8. Ocean WavesInstagram
A lot like the previous style, this one too incorporates multi-colored streaks. The style has incorporated a pop of purple, adding so much dimension to this multi-hued look. The beach waves just help tie the whole look together, making it one of the best mermaid styles we’ve laid our eyes on.

9. Sterling BlueInstagram
This mermaid style is so badass with its storm-like color scheme. The dark roots fade to a denim blue which takes on silver tones at the tips. The style is bold, beautiful, and badass, all at the same time.
10. Platinum Peekaboo MermaidInstagram
We love our perfect platinum, but this style has taken the look to a whole new level by incorporating shades of blue and purple in the lower layers. The peekaboo colors help add depth to the style, reflecting perfectly the colors of the ocean.

11. Midnight MoonlightInstagram
The moonlight glinting off the waves of the ocean during the darkest hour of night. That’s what this style looks like to us. We can’t stop ooh-ing at this perfect blue balayage. This style is sure to suit all hair types and textures.
12. Mermaid GrungeInstagram
There’s no way that this mermaid does not have an ear for grunge. This absolutely badass hairstyle incorporates capri blue hues at the lower lengths of the hair. The balayage has been painted on perfectly to add subtle texture, and we are in love.

13. Dream BlueInstagram
This blue haired mermaid is just nailing the look. From the Purple roots that melt into the deep ocean blue to the subtle fade as your eyes travel down the length of her locks. The hairstyle takes on teal tones in the mid-lengths. This look is sure to look as good fading out as it looks freshly colored.
14. Crowned MermaidInstagram
If simplicity were an art, this hairstyle would be one of the best masterpieces that we’ve had the pleasure of appreciating. The dark roots seamlessly melt to a deep aqua blue that further fade to a lighter aqua. The vivid color is perfectly adorned by seashells. What accessory could be more fitting?
15. Electric MermaidInstagram
WE LOVE THESE NEW GLOW-IN-THE-DARK shades. While they look like regular vivid colors with the lights on, they turn into magnificent sources of luminance when the lights go off. Can you picture this mermaid swimming in the ocean with her gloriously glowy mane?
16. Purple DepthsInstagram
Ooh, this vibrancy. With dark roots melting into vivid blues and purples. The artist has created the perfect melt near the roots which then progresses into the perfect purple balayage as you move down to the tips.

17. Midnight WatersInstagram
This magical deep ocean blue is so simple yet so stunning. With dark black roots that flawlessly melt to blue, this style is absolutely gorgeous. The style incorporates an ombre effect where the dark hair fades to a light yet vivid blue.
18. Bohemian MermaidInstagram
This style has so much going on and in all the right ways. This is one of the most perfect combinations of natural and unnatural colors that we’ve come across. The style has shades of dirty blonde, dirty brown, blue, aqua, pink, orange and some yellow and green neons. The artist has to be a true genius to have pulled the look together so well.
[ Read: Bohemian Style Dressing ]
19. Opalescent ShimmerInstagram
This style is pastel perfection and one so gorgeous, nobody can deny it. With pastel tones of pink and blue painted on platinum hair, this is one of the coolest styles (pun intended) that we’ve come across. Lovers of cool tones, this one’s for you.
20. Jaded PurpleInstagram
This cannot not be a mermaid because we’ve never seen hair this perfect on a human being. The aqua roots melt into a beautiful jade color which flows through the length of the hair. The artist has also meticulously woven tones of purple and aqua, creating the perfect contrast and just the right amount of “pop.”
21. The Little MermaidInstagram
Ariel is definitely our favorite Disney princess, and we can say with conviction that this has to be Ariel because nobody else has red locks this gorgeous. This single-toned mermaid style has been styled to perfection. The color has taken to the hair so evenly, it almost looks fake. In the best way possible, of course.
22. Pastel Mermaid UndercutInstagram
As the saying goes- Always be yourself. Unless you can be a mermaid. Then definitely be a mermaid. This beautiful style has pastel shades of green, blue, pink, and purple. The fish-scale undercut ties the whole look together, making this mermaid perfect.
23. Mermaid Fairy FlossInstagram
Are you a mermaid who loves pink? Then it definitely can’t get better than this for you. The deep pink melts into a multi-hued pastel balayage, and the outcome is truly glorious. And we cannot deny how beautiful these colors look on braided dos.
24. Clear WatersInstagram
What’s more breath-taking than relaxing in crystal clear waters? This hairstyle. The style starts off with aqua roots that soon melt to a gorgeous platinum. The mid-lengths start to take on a gorgeous ash-blue color near the ends. It is so easy to go wrong with adding movement at the mid-lengths, but this style is all things right.
25. Subtle FishtailInstagram
If you love subtlely, this might be the style for you. The artist took a loud neon green and created a balayage so well done that the result is anything but loud. The dirty blonde, in combination with the green, is the best subtle mermaid balayage we’ve laid our eyes on.
