Beauty: easy/quick makeup

I know there are a lot of days we are like crazy people running everywhere and even sometimes super late, those days we can’t even take breaksfast ( even though this is a really bad thing to do) we have to somehow seem like we have just came from the red carpet to go to our jobs so today, here i have found a way to make a quick and really easy makeup. The way i find most quick and easy is to have a bold lip and a dewy skin.

For a holiday sophisticated lip: first of all clean and exfoliate your lips; i know this sounds like a lot of work, just past over a washcloth over your lips and that’s it. Then apply one coat of the lipstick directly from the tube. it gives it a not so polish but really good looking to the color. Then apply to the center of the lips a little bit of non colored lip balm for a little bit of shine. And for the rest of the face just fill the brows and apply a couple of coats of mascara. ( remember with a bold lip, keep the rest of the face super simple)

A romantic look: For this look just keep everything soft with a hint of shine. i suggest to apply a little bit of cream eye shadow in colors like soft pink or maybe soft purple ( purple fits every skin tone and eye color) or maybe if you are not feeling to bold use a soft gray to the center of the lids. For the rest of the face just apply a little bit of mascara and a pinky nude-ish lip tone.

For those really wild ones, The dramatic look: apply one coat of a metallic pencil to the upper lash and create a line a little bit thick. and for the rest of the face just apply some blush and a nude lip color.

                                   

For a natural look ( doesn't mean to look like a zombie): when you are looking for a foundation look for the one that says luminous. oh and not forgetting always keep your face clean and exfoliated this would make a difference in any makeup look. this use a cream blush but before applying it put a little of the product in between your hands and swirl a little bit just to warm it up a little bit after this just apply it to the apple of your cheeks. For a final touch put some highlighter on top of the cheek bones.

                                              

Daily post: Speak up if you need to

Today i was talking with a friend about how i felt about i think one year and a half ago. I have notice that a lot of people are not comfortable taking about this topic but i have learned that it’s important because if one person start to talk about it another will find the courage to do it too, and by this way it will help others to speak out about it and maybe get help.

My story is something like this. i had just finished school and i was sure that i wanted to take a year off to relax. I wanted to travel, go camping see the sunrise, go out with friend among other things. This actually never happen. for different reasons i couldn’t travel, my friends were studying and didn’t have time to hang out so i was left alone, the first 6 months i was okay like yeah i didn’t care, but time started to pass and i started to feel bad, i didn’t want to go out of my house first, then i didn’t want to go out of my own bedroom it was like i was dying inside, also because i didn’t move. and the only thing that i did per day was eat sleep eat sleep eat and sleep so logically i started to gain weight, this brought me down even more and i knew i was depressed i knew it but at the same time i didn’t want to get help. Fast forward to six moths after, and i was lucky enough to find a anchor this is something i made to try to rise again, my little sister is my anchor i decided that i need to find something i want to fight for and like i said it’s my sister. I obviously never have tell this cause it’s something i saved it to myself. But she help me a lot. And when i name her as my anchor i decided to speak out and look for help i knew i need it right away. After that i started to get better i know i’m not cure for ever i know that but at least I feel that way, but i can overcame the problems. There will always be good and bad days, some days you feel like you only want to cry but you don’t know what the next day would bring you it can be the most beautiful and exiting thing you have ever experience.

So I’m telling you i’m encouraging you to speak up if you feel like you need it. Today i was talking with a friend and she told me something that broke my heart, she felt that she needed help but was afraid of how his/her parents but react about it. But let me tell you again that it’s better to try and fix the problem when you notice it than after it had cause all the damage and its irreparable. Another concern was that she didn’t want to make them sad, but its better that they know from the start than after something bad happen and they would regret not noticing you were bad.

Speak about it if you feel you need it, and you would see you are not alone there are a lot of people like us.

Daily post: Flip that tortilla

Do you feel the same comfort ahead than behind the scenes?

This is an easy question to answer, I feel more comfortable talking through the internet. I can assure that this is a common thing, cause theres a feeling of freedom in a way that you can say whatever you want without anybody telling you to shut up, or that we are wrong.

This is a topic that can be taken both ways cause if we search the internet we can run into good people and also bad people, this is how i describe it. There are people that just say what they want to say and not hurting anybody just giving their point of view about any subject, and in the other hand we have the ones we call cyberbullies, they are bad people that only spend their time making the others feel bad about yourself and because they are doing it via the internet they can be shown by anonimuous avatars, so they don’t show their faces nor names.

I consider myself like a good one because I’m only using this way of connection to the world to speak up and say whatever is on my mind any day, not trying and seeking for people to hurt them in any way, just talking about different subjects from my point of view. And why do I feel more comfortable? because I know i’m a really shy person and just like a lot out here are afraid of being judge by another one when you are talking face to face or that feeling of awkward silence in a conversation, I really hate that. So I use this platform to say what’s on my mind, not expecting any comments but if you have one i would be more than happy to receive it.

Daily post: blog?

Unique experience. What made you wanna write on this blog?

Well actually it all started when I decided that I wanted to get psychologically better, I have already talk about what i have gone throughout in the past so if you wanna know go to the post Speak if you need to 

https://dearfashionandlife.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/opinion-speak-up-if-you-need-to/

So in that time, i thought that my safe place was the internet and also it had all the answer for my problems, but instead of looking for help of professionals when i didn’t told anybody what i was going through i actually rediscovered youtube. Before i only used it to listen to music and no more, but as i was going through it looking for answer for my problem or how i was feeling i reached to a lot of youtubers that where facing a lot of similar things as i was, so it made me realize that i was not the only one in this fight, and that i was not crazy, they say that if you think about something a lot and it’s always on your mind you will find that thing a lot more in your everyday life, and that’s what happened to me, i started to find a lot more people that suffer from the same, not only the people that uploaded their video but also a whole community that where there leaving comments in those videos.

After seeing those video and comments i realize that if they making those videos where helping millions, maybe if i start to talk about this issue with people i can make someone really see how important they are and that this is not something to be ashamed of, no at all this is something that need to be treated, and that the people that suffer from it need to talk about it. 

I started to be open with my family and closed friends about what i had been through, i started to follow organizations and reading a lot more about it, but what truly made an impact in me where those little videos where you really can see what a person went through and their whole feelings, and maybe you are thinking but how you see that? well i saw it in their eyes in how  they speak in their movements. Sometimes i know that if we don’t have or suffer from something we don’t truly know how it actually feels, but seeing them was like wow. and because of that, i thought that well if i’m not still brave enough to share my story in a video i should write my thoughts it may not help millions of people but even if it makes just one person it will be such a wonderful thing that i couldn’t feel better.  

There is something that happened that made me actually brave enough to start to write in a public space. as there are apps like Facebook, twitter, tumblr, where you share things phrases and photographs, I found apps where you can talk to people that maybe are also feeling bad, sad, and feeling like they can’t do it no more. And as i was talking to a girl she told me exactly that she couldn’t do it, she was sick of everything and i actually told her my story and told her that maybe it wasn’t as bad as what was going on with her but there’s a solution she actually listen to me and told me weeks after that what i told her make a click a change something in her mind and it made her wanted to talk with her mom about how she was feeling and she told me that i helped that i saved her life. i actually don’t think i saved her life but maybe hearing my story what i had to say in that certain moment and place was what made her see that it’s worth fitting for something and that there is something good after all. So this is why i started my blog.

10 things stylish people do!

Have you seen those girls that always seem to get it right, like they have everything in place, well now you can now the secret. Here i would show you eleven tricks you can master to look incredible every day.

1. Quality pieces.

I mean it's okay to buy pieces that are trendy by season but, if you really think about it, you will realize that you may not wear it all year around. So we should invest in a good pair of jeans, a blazer or bags that yeah, it will cost a little bit more but would be of a better material, and the construction is more luxe, and we can wear it the hole year!

2. Your own uniform.

You know sometimes, maybe we've stay late sunday night watching an entire season of a new tv show and you have to be somewhere first time morning on monday, it's to late to even start thinking what you can probably wear. The advice that i can give you is to from what you know fits you good and looks good made an uniform, and i know you are thinking: what?? she's crazy i don't want to look like a school girl!!, but thats not what i mean, see Kate Moss, she's is often seen in skinny black jeans, ankle boots a crew neck tee and a black jacket, those picks are like her go to outfit.

 

3. Break the rules.

Just as simple as: Step outside of the box. Go forth and take some risks. Use denim head to toe or like Emma Watson use trousers instead of a dress.

4. Create multiple combinations. 

Having a hole neutral theme closet is in no way boring. I think it's the wisest way, because you can use all the pieces all year round and just adding some statement piece will make you look absolutely incredible, even you can wear the same outfit but just changing a small piece will make it look completely different. 

5. Personalize basic outfits.

Choose your go to pieces of your closet like, skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, some sneakers and add something that speaks for you, maybe it's a fedora hat, or  something like a big necklace.

 

6. Know your body.

I think this one is one of the most importan one. You have to know your body in order to dress you well. Because, lets say we are in the situation that we are shopping and OMG we see a really beautiful summer dress with a big but really big print, and we are like really short, that print would eat you alive!! and if you buy it, you would not look good at all, and also we'll spend a lot of money in vain. That's why we should know our body and also know what works for it. 

7. Don't take it tooooo seriously.

I mean if you like Mickey mouse and you have a shirt with one on it, wear it! just keep the other things in a low tone, with neutrals and stuff like that. Or maybe you have a bubble gum tone jacket wear it! I think life is too short to not enjoy it and be fun. 

8. Signature makeup look.

Just like the uniform look, we should have a makeup one. And also like with our body we should know what works for our face. And also don't forget by any reason to always take off your makeup and keep it beautiful everyday with the rights things.

9. Accessories. 

If you want to make one of your accessories the statement one, the tricks to keep it the center of attention is to start with that piece and start to build the rest of the outfit all around that one, in that way you would be sure that nothings is more important than that piece.

10. Keep your head high

Even if you have the best outfit in the hole party, if you are in a corner almost hiding yourself,  it would make you and your outfit look completely ridiculous. You can get away with anything if you are proud of what you are wearing keeping your head high.  

Christmas makeup

Well i've never made any kind of video, but i decided to give it a go, cause it's some kind difficult to try to explain how to make a makeup tutorial just written.
this is a photo of how it all turn out

what I've been doing lately

Well to start, I gotta say that I have started the university almost 3 months ago , and it have been amazing, thus is what i was meant to study since the beginning.
I know that I haven't been on lately, but I was adjusting to study again, cause when I finished high school I took a year and a half to travel,  and to know me better, tk discover knew things about me, and let me tell you, It was a good thing in a way, I wont tell a lot of things but it.
Now I've kind of figure out everything about studing and stuff, so I'm gonna start posting more since now, I am starting to look for topics, well themes that would be interesting to talk sbout, oh and also I have an account on polyvore: dearfahion-andreaaquije, you should go and see it I have a lot of sets that I think you would like it, and also I have discovered that I can post them in the blog so I'm posting them in here to. Also I forgot to tell you that I have an instagram and its dearfashion123
So this is all you'll hear from me soon ;)

How to: Cara Delevingne makeup look

The first thing that we have to do is putting on our foundation and here i found an image that shows where do we have to put the highlighter, bronzer the blush.

EYE: 

Tips: if you want it to last a lot more than a couple of hours, you must put on first some primer

1. After applying primer, put on a coat of some really light shade in all the eyelid. ( this would make it easier for the other shadows to blend, and also it would make the colors look better)
2. Apply a brownish going to orange shade in the outer v, the crease and also the inner corner of the eye.

3. Now apply a little bit darker shade to the outer crease of the eye to add depth.

4. Use the shade of step 3 and mix it with the one of step 2 and take it to under the waterline.

5. Apply the darker brown to the outer v of the eye.

6. Put some black liner on the waterlines, and also put on some black mascara to the lashes.

These are the shades that i used:

1.

2.

3.

4.

LIPS:

Now we have to do our lips, as this makeup is sort of natural because it doesn't have any harsh colors or lines, we wanna keep our lips also as natural as possible;

Tip to make our lip color last longer: apply a little bit of it can be foundation or maybe primer. 

1. After applying foundation and let it dry a little bit put on some lip balm. 

2. Then just apply some kind of pinky really light shade. 

3. To finish just touch your lips with your fingers so it would blend with the foundation that we put earlier.

  

DIY for glowing skin

I know we love to wear makeup, i really do, but this can make our skin loose his glow, and that's something we absolutely don't want, cause what we really want is to look really good with and without makeup. So I have been researching and i found some remedies with things that we already have in our kitchen.

so here we go, the first one is a quick face mask; mix papaya pulp, two tablespoons of milk and one tablespoon of honey. never skip the honey because it's so hydrating. this will leave a dewy glow.

To decrease any kind of inflammation on our face and also to soften skin; mix 10 blueberries and 1 tablespoon plain yogurt, put in on the face and leave for 15 minutes.

Some of us have sensitive skin, and some things would make us have a lots of break outs in our skin and we really don't want this, so i found this all-natural face mask, made from honey, nutmeg and cinnamon, just use 1 tablespoon of each ingredient; mix well and leave on for 30 minutes wash off and go to bed.
