One of the most important things that we do every single day is smile. We smile to let people know we are approachable and kind. We smile to release stress hormones like cortisol and we smile to feel those endorphins ricochet through the body. It lowers our blood pressure and it can tone the facial muscles. We may feel like smiling is something we only have to do when people are nice to us, but smiling is something that allows people to see that we are happy and good natured people.

There is plenty of advice out there about smiling but if you don’t feel confident about your smile, you might choose not to – which is a shame. You should be investing in your smile, whether that’s with braces or the help of a cosmetic dentist. Your smile should make you feel good and it should make you feel like you can talk to anyone. You may have low confidence in your smile, but we’ve got four reasons you should choose to invest in yours today.

• Your teeth are stained. No one likes to have discolored teeth, but often we can’t help it. Wine, oranges, coffee – they all stain our teeth and that’s just with our day to day diets. Even genetics can stain the teeth and it’s a common problem that will ensure that you are desperate to get it fixed! It’s common and it’s fixable and a dentist can help you to get your teeth looking the correct color in no time at all. Whatever it takes, get your teeth the right color and remove the staining – you’ll see the difference in no time at all.
• Your teeth are crooked. Braces – both metal and Invisalign – can help your teeth to straighten out. They’re more common and there are plenty of reasons why your teeth are crooked, too. Genetics are a big factor in the way your teeth look, and the shape of your mouth and jaw can have a huge impact on whether your teeth are crooked. You can have a dentist and orthodontist working together to fix the crooked nature of your teeth. You can even ask for advice on how to get your teeth looking fantastic.
• You have chipped teeth. If you have fallen and had an accident, your teeth may bear the brunt of it. If you grind your teeth in your sleep, you won’t be able to notice the chips but your dentist can. The problem is that chipped teeth can cause misshaping in the mouth and your bite won’t be the same as it used to be. You can get veneers from a cosmetic dentist, though, and they can fix the issue and put your teeth back to their best.
• You have missing teeth. Often, adults lose a tooth later in life and while it’s not pleasant, it’s common. You can have a false tooth in the place of the missing one and that will keep you confident that your smile will be beautiful once again!

When it comes to makeup, some people can absolutely work miracles and others of us who need a lot of practice. And while both sides of that camp can agree that Michael can be an incredible and amount of fun, there is still a lot to learn.

Some people love to have a bold lip; for them, it is the whole show. And for others, it’s the eyes. And while they do say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, that is what makes them so much fun to dress up.

So let’s dig into some quick ways to make your eye makeup look amazing.

Brows

The shape of your eyebrows, and how full they are, can dictate how your whole face is framed. A great tip from Bobby Brown is that filling your brows with the same shade of brown or taupe that you use on your eyelids as your transition color or base. This will stop your eyebrows from being too harsh. Soft, small strokes will give you definition, and look more like natural hair. 

And in general, following the natural shape of your brow, unless you have them professionally shaped, will be perfect for you. A clear brow gel, clear mascara, or the new brow soap is a great way to keep them in place.

Prime

It would be best if you always primed your eyelids before you apply any eyeshadows. And in fact, this is even more important if you are using pigments, so that you can try to avoid them stating your limits. If you use a lighter, whiter shade, your eyeshadow will immediately look brighter. But the most important tip is that it will stop your make up slipping and sliding door in the way that. As well as this, it will make your eyelids look much smoother. Most people recommend either using a Mac Painterly Pot or P.Louise. 

Color

Some colors really work with particular eye colors. For blue eyes, most often bronzes, coppers, and browns will make those baby blues stand out. Greens tend to look amazing with Hazel, peppers, and hopes. It would be best if you were careful how you apply anything metallic to the eyes, it does have a tendency to settle in the creases of your lid. 

If you wear glasses, it might be the perfect time to buy contact lenses online. Well, glasses are super cool, being able to see what you would do with your eye makeup can make the whole thing much more uncomplicated.

Mascara

Mascara might be the most significant way to give your eyes a huge impact. But this only works once you have a mascara that you really love. Most brands will recommend that you curl your lashes first, and they apply a generous amount of mascara.

And finally, if you have dark circles, very wrinkly lips, or dry skin around your eyes, it’s time to up the amount of water that you drink. And invest your money in the very best eye cream that you can afford.

Sometimes I see tattoo guns for sale and my heart starts racing and I am compelled to hold it and check it out.

I’m of course an artist, but I’m also a collector of tattoo supplies and somewhat of a tattoo gun enthusiast. I’m a fan of the art and of the history of the art. Usually I don’t pay too much attention to the new stuff, but even the new stuff will be classic someday. Continue Reading
