In Japan, the quantity of drugstore make up is the same as the convenience shop there.  We are able to find various make up easily, but do not be dazzled with the colorful products. The most popular make-up brands in Japanese drugstore are JuJu, Dr.Ci:Labo, Maquillage, Majolica Majorca, Sana and Kate.  Juju’s products sell very hot because they do not contain spices, preservatives, mineral oil and pigment that will hurt skin.  Dr.Ci:Labo are called as trump card is the special design for sensitive skin.  Each product functions significantly with the modest trait.  Maquillage is showing the confident consciousness of modern mature woman.  It includes foundation, eye shadow, lipstick and other make-up.   Majolica Majorca came into market in 2003 is the most popular brand among the young girls.  There are a legendary bird and Latin logo on the outside of each pack, and marked 7 different Symbol plans as well, which made the brands throw off a mysterious power.  Sana set up in 1986 by Noevir.  In the demand of shaping blink woman, Sana provides good quality goods at competitive price.  Kate is famous for its low price and good product.  Mentioned Kate, I have to say something about eye shadow.  The five colors eye shadow got the best evaluation on the internet.

Nail is made of a hard protein called keratin.  I never think nail care could be an art before until I really know it from my friends.  Giving a manicure, or manicuring as it is called professionally, was once considered only a luxury for the rich.  More and more women and men now have regular manicures. 

I am sure it is a progress compare with those people who were born in last century.  Manicuring improves the appearance of the hands and nails.  Giving manicure is not hard once you know the basic steps.

1. Remove the old polish.  Moisten a cotton ball with nail polish remover.

2. Shaping the nail.  The finger should be filed into oval tips.

3. Soften the cuticles.  Soak the fingers into a small finger bowl filled with soapy water; and carefully dry the hand by holding a small towel.

4. Apply cuticle remover.

5. Apply cuticle oil or cream at the base of the nail.

6. Apply base coat using long strokes.

7. Apply lotion.  Attn: nails need to be completely dry.

Say goodbye to dirty, bitten fingernails and give them a little TLC.  This is just my experience about nail care; if you are an expert on it, feel free to share your experiences and tips here.

Learning to apply cosmetics properly is an art.  Then, you are about to be introduced to some beauty and makeup tips you can use; with this knowledge available to you, you can achieve your own unique stunning look, and do your own makeover.  This is about cosmetics foundations.

Cosmetics foundations are used to create a clear and smooth skin tone.  You may want to use the lightest covering in the summer and the heavier one in the winter since it comes in a wide variety of colors and types.  The first is to choose the perfect foundation and the second is pick the right formulation for your skin.  Before you buy the foundation, test it on the inside of the forearm-skin stone is closest to the neck color there, because it’s protected from UV damage.  If you have chosen the right color, it will disappear into the skin.

Normally, there are five types of foundation, such as loose powder cosmetics foundations, pressed powder foundations, concealer, liquid foundation and cream foundations.  Foundation is always applied downwards, to minimize the impact of facial hair.  Starting by dotting on the forehead and blend well with a damp sponge on fingers before moving on; then do it on your cheeks, then chin, nose and upper neck.  You may dilute the foundation by adding some astringent, toner or even water to make it sheer enough to let your skin show through. It looks more natural if applied like this.

A lubricous skin will be envied everywhere by everyone.  All the cosmetics companies in the world have released a number of lotions for different skins.   

But how to choose the right lotion is still a question?  There are four skin types: dry skin, oily skin, normal skin, and combination skin.  Choose the right lotion for your skin is essential to ensure perfect glow.  The first you should know your skin type and match it with the lotion you are going to buy.   

Each time, I like to use milk to wash my face since I have a dry skin; in my mind, milk is very good thing to moisten skin.  The milk bath skin lotion also is my favorite after I take a shower.  It replaces essential oils that are normally washed off every time I take a bath, plus, it also helps in maintaining skin’s moisture.  That is exactly how a milk bath skin lotion for dry skin works.  For those who have a oily skin, you may choose special products which designed to keep pores unclogged.  The product that have a word “balancing” is created only for oily skin; it balance the oil aspect, keeping skin dry, yet soft.  But the best solution is asking a cosmetologist for recommendations when looking for lotion.
