Makeup Tutorial: How to Apply Eyeliner

Before explaining how to apply eyeshadow tutorial I'll first talk about the many types of eyeliners. Then I will explain how to do a cat eye, a smokey eye and a basic eye for daytime.

There are three types of eyeliner: an eyeliner pencil, a liquid liner or a shadow eyeliner.
• Shadow eyeliner: The third type is to use your eyeshadow using a brush or the eyeshadow applicator.

How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner
Line the eye from the inner corner of the eye in one big sweep.

The Basic Daytime Eye
Once you've done that you apply an eye pencil or the eye shadow to the lower lashes. When applying to the lower lashes you can use a different color if you want.

The Always popular Smoky Eye
• Apply eyeliner from the inner corner of the eye outward.
• Apply a deep color shadow over the eyeliner to set the line.
Once the line is drawn, run your finger over it to smudge the line.

The Cat Eye
• Apply liquid liner along the upper lash line from corner to corner of eye, extending the line upward at the outer corner of eye.

Let liner dry.
• Apply liner only to the outer three quarters of the rim and extend the line upwards at the outer corners.

How to Make a Minion Costume

Hey, so Mr. Minion here is competing in minion costume contest. The costume took about a week (mostly because of the paper maché dry time) and cost about $50 (less if you already own an exercise ball).

Supplies (there's lots, but hey, it's an awesome costume)

    Exercise Ball (slightly wider than yourself)
    Paper Maché - Mix 1 part water with 1 part flour an a tsp of salt.    
    Construction Adhesive (Either Liquid Nails or Loctite will work)
    2 empty/new quart size paint cans (sold at Home Depot in the paint section)
    Yellow Spray Paint
    Duct Tape
    Hot Glue
    Craft Foam Sheets, 1 black, 1 white
    Utility knife
    small nuts and bolts

Supply Help:
Empty Paint Cans - They sell them right across from the spray paint at my Home Depot. You need 2.

Step 1
Blow up your exercise ball and measure the diameter. Now roll the polywall panel into a tube until it's the same diameter as your ball.

Step 2
(1 part flour, 1 part water, a little salt. Exercise balls have a seam around the middle which really helps in getting a perfect dome. Just paper maché past the seam a little.

Step 3
Attach the paper maché dome to the polywall tube you made in step 1. Let the ledge dry.

I trimmed my dome with scissors to the seam line the ball made in the paper maché. If it doesn't fit, keep trimming the dome little by little until it slides in (or you force it).

Step 4
Cut arm holes and a mouth.

Step 5
Paint the whole thing bright yellow.

Step 6
Make the goggles. You can't cut the bottoms straight off.

Step 7
Make eye balls! Cut a cheap small rubber/plastic play ball in half. Flip the ball inside out. Slide it in the goggle from the side you cut.  Attach with duck tape. Be careful... the paint cans are sharp!

Step 8
Attach the goggles with eyeballs to the minion (now that it has eyes, we'll call it a minion). I taped the paint cans together, ran a bead of construction adhesive around the rims of the paint cans, then taped them to the minion on the sides. Center the eyes right over the seam between the dome and the tube. If you put duck tape on the sides of the cans, the goggle strap will hide it.

Step 9
Cut goggle strap, teeth, and hair from craft foam sheets. Hot glue in place.

Step 10
Hot glue some blue fabric to the minion so he's not naked. Your minion transformation is complete.

The Venus Factor Review

A workout program that goes beyond fitness and health. A really intense exercise and dieting program that doesn't bulk you up and retains your feminine features.

Strictly for women but there's an equal program designed for men which is created by the same author - The Adonis Golden Ratio.

If you are looking for a silver bullet weight loss solution, "designer" workout program, or body jam-type class sessions, you're looking at the wrong product.

The Venus factor is a special workout program for women. The program's goal is to give you that attractive and sexy feminine look. This product is designed and developed by a pair of leaders in the field of fitness and dieting. As for the workout itself, The Venus Factor is a 12-week workout program separated into 3 parts. There's also an exercise gallery e-book which provides detailed instructions about each workout mentioned in the program and each exercise has images and a link to a video.

Along with the core program, there's the main Venus Factor Workout manual which explains the Venus Index concept. This manual explains how to find your current Venus Index and what fitness target you need to reach to raise your Venus Index. Additionally, you'll also get a dieting manual entitled "Guide to Body Centric Eating." If you are used to lifting light weights, you'll feel right at home. Even if you don't follow the workout or dieting program, the information about the Venus Index and achieving the perfect female body proportions can help you set correct fitness goals.
