A Firmir Behind To Die For

Beauty: ♦ Comment

“I don’t understand why Miss Beauty thought that she needed a cosmetic buttock surgery in the first place?” asked an associate of mine during our lunch time. She referred to Solange Magnano, a 38-year-old former Miss Argentina who died on the 30th of November. Magnano died of a pulmonary embolism Sunday after three days in critical condition following a gluteoplasty in Buenos Aires.

Magnano’s close friend said, “A woman who had everything lost her life to have a slightly firmer behind,” . Don’t give me wrong, I do symphatize with her death and my heart goes to her family and friends that she left behind but my associate’s question was also very relevant.

This 38-year-old former Miss Argentina had obviously above average look and had undoubtly already a firmer behind to start with, so why did she think that she needed a cosmetic surgery? Was it because of her vanity? Or was it simply because of her own insecurites that had forced her to undergo that cosmetic surgery?

I don’t know but vanity is, in this case, very costly and deadly. She had a firmir behind to die for; it’s a pity that she actually died of it. Rest In Peace!

RIP

Get Smokey Eyes!

Like some of you I love smokey eyes too. They have been a big style for quite awhile and I think that this trend is here to stay. They say that the key to the perfect smokey eye is proper blending.

So, I always make sure that colors are blended together flawlessly. It’s also very important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors.

What You Need:

  • Eye primer (you don’t need it, but it’s great for keeping shadow in place)
  • 2 Shadows: One light, one darker
  • Eyeliner
  • Makeup brushes
  • Mascara

True Color

 What to do:  

  1. Prep the lid and keep eyelids oil-free. This is to keep keep your eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on. Start with applying an eyeshadow base. I prefer to dab at bit on lids before shadow application.
  2. Apply eyeliner. If you are going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. And If yua are going for a jewel-toned eye, line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.
  3. Blend in color on bottom lashes for color on the bottom (this is a key smokey eye look!) you will want a lighter eyeliner. And “smudge” it perfectly. You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.
  4. Apply light base color again, remember that the key to a smokey eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone.
  5. Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it’s time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease. 
  6. Always doublecheck your work and make sure that eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if it’s necessary.
  7. And finish it with several coats of volumizing mascara. I love L’Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara.
