what do model looks like when off duty?

since I was a child! I really admire women on a fashion show and even dream to become one who walks on that stage someday! I love seeing them online shows on the internet and a tv, I may not able to witness personally the big fashion show event of the world, but as a model admirer I am secretly inspired more so by the photos of the models on off-duty and how their street looks, I do a lots of research about them and sometimes lucky to have watched the local fashion event in my place and grab a chance to talk somebody associated with the events, if what models totally looks like while off duty. according to my researched manually and automatically.

Yes, models are typically skinny, but many of them do not wear skin tight clothes. On the catwalk, models wear the most luxurious, expensive and newest designs, but it's the model's off-duty, street style that I covet most. Here are some guides and article I've been collect on my researched them around

To understand their choices you must keep in mind that they live a jet-set life with early morning calls, running around town for go-sees, late night fittings and endless hours in front of the cameras often working in stilettos. It's no wonder that when they have downtime they reach for easy, comfortable pieces that always work with other and ooze a "they didn't even try hard" attitude, smothered in style.

 Hands down the model in Tokyo girl collection is always ruffles you will see color paired with cute sundresses and shorts. Japanese models often have that laid back, eclectic almost vintage, vibe going on. One thing is certain, models create a certain mystique about themselves in a way that makes us want to know more.

Top 10 list of model's secret weapons when their off-duty

1. The basic model color is black of course because it goes with everything including itself for a monochromatic look if you're not familiar with monochromatic look check here for information. but when color is introduced you will notice that it is usually white, gray, ivory, camel, denim or a small splash accent.

2. Models keep it simple. Nothing fussy like ruffles. Always clean lines, nothing busy.

3. Jeans and a white tank, simple cardigan sweater or black leather jacket.

4. No overpowering jewelry.

5. Clothes always fit. Models learn that fit, fabric, and style are key. Off the runway you rarely find a model dressed trashy because even though the model is skinny and could wear anything, a model has learned that it is far more sexy to look and feel the fabric move over their body, flowing in the wind. You may think wearing baggy clothes to cover your bottom is hiding it but it is really drawing more attention and making it stand out.

6.Vintage. If you have something from a great designer keep it and recycle it by altering it to transform it into your own style. This goes for anything you love in your closet that you haven't worn for awhile.

7. Experiment. A model takes chances by making a statement with her clothing choices. If you are standing up straight with confidence, no one will question what you're wearing.

8. Fresh Face. Makeup is natural. Concealer, mascara, gloss and go!


9. Flat boots. Perfect for over arched feet posing in heels all day long. Models tuck jeans and leggings in them or wear them with black tights and a short skirt.


10. A Large Tote. Have you ever notice how when you carry a larger bag it makes you look smaller? Plus it can carry everything needed for your next casting!

All models have a signature style based on their best feature. .. definitely a model-ly look for sure. Everyone should know what it is you love best about your body and make every outfit revolve around that, not being afraid to show it off. When you carry yourself with confidence it begs to ask the question "who are YOU?" because you vibrate at a different frequency and people can't help but notice!

Whatever else we are in life, we can still manage to look like a model if we want to.

Bonus:
Determining what to wear every day is a challenge we all face, but if we want to look like a model take their cues and invest in basic, well-fitting, key pieces that we can wear with everything. It's extremely important to stay true to our personality when finding your signature style. And whenever we walk, even if it's not on a runway, stand tall with an inner confidence and the aura of a Supermodel....we just might get a tap on our shoulder by a stranger asking us "Are you a model?" because you can see that it's not about expensive designer clothing, it's about the girl wearing a well put together, stylish look.

How To Contour Every Different Kind of Face Shape

One of the toughest tricks to master when it comes to makeup is learning how to properly contour your face. Learning how to do that is life changing and will forever shape the way that you make your purchasing decisions, allowing you to select the right makeup. To learn more about how to contour your face, all you need to do is follow these simple steps and make the correct purchases. This guide may be minimal, but it focuses on the truly important aspects that will have your face looking its absolute best.

Draw a W 

Draw a W on your face? Surely this is some sort of misprint, right? Wrong. Troy Surratt is a celebrity makeup artist and he recommends the W drawing technique as a subtle alternative to some of the more overt facial contouring techniques that are typically recommended by the majority of beauty and fashion experts. The most important part of this tip? The W is not drawn on the face until after the foundation has been applied. The shape should be drawn on the woman's face with a bronzing powder. To start, sweep it down one of the cheekbones in a diagonal motion, all the way up to the bottom of the nose, then head back down and up to the opposing cheekbone. For the finishing touch, apply a stroke to your hairline.

How To Achieve The Best Results

While this technique may seem exceedingly simple, the way to achieve the best possible results is to go for the most natural look. To obtain this, select a bronzing powder that is not too much darker than your skin tone.

Steer clear of shimmery textures and aim for creating matte shadows. The center of the face should also be kept as luminous and light as possible, to maximize the skin's glow.

A great finishing flourish? Use a pearly highlighter to dab the tops of the cheekbones, as well as the bridge of the nose for guaranteed gorgeousness.

Products To Use

If you are ready to give contouring your face a try, remember that it's important to only use high quality products. They don't have to be expensive if you are a savvy shopper and look for special deals and promotions at such shops as Sears. 

Below are Some of the items that you may want to check out and will help you look your best include:

Most of us women always thinks about how to prevent measures to ward off wrinkles or premature aging.  and we always look for an idea to take the steps necessary to keep our skin looking young and fresh.

Tired-Looking eyes : eyes that looks “worn out,” with no hint of softness or suppleness (i couldn't think of any more feminine words). This occurs when the eyes begin to swell for various reasons, including excessive crying, excessive physical stress, genetics, dermatitis, hormonal changes in the body, a change in weather, sinus problems, hangovers, bad diet, lack of sleep and some allergic reaction.

brown spot: Small patches of discoloration on the face. Brown spots generally appear on exposed skin areas like the face, back, neck, chest, shoulders and hands. Some of the main causes of brown spots are sun exposure, aging, and genetics. Factors like stress, pregnancy, vitamin deficiencies, and weak liver functioning may also contribute to this problem. (http://goo.gl/xKnU83)

 i searched and knowing all the causes of all these. i'm not going to give a  Scientific explanation for you even if i saw out there was it, despite, i will give you a simple explanation about it. here is the first and can say the main reason of wrinkles appearing.
 did you know that Collagen and Elastin are the elements that keep skin looking soft and healthy. When these elements are damaged, skin tends to go downhill and premature aging sets in. So, it's important to protect skin from outside forces that damage Collagen and Elastin.

-there are lots of ways to avoid that-

    Avoid Sun Exposure :  didn't know that 99% of all premature aging is the result of sun exposure. So, sun block is imperative prior to any stint outside (it doesn't have to be 80 degrees).

 for me i use SPF50+  from DHC bb Germanium brand but you can use sunblock protection from any brand.

    Avoid Smoking : The damage to skin can be significant, but is still probably the least of a smoker's worries.

    stay away in all of these! Alcohol, Drugs & Highly-Processed Foods.

    Follow A Solid Skincare Routine : Remember the letters CSP – Cleanse, Scrub and Protect.

    if there some space on your wallet for luxury do it for your own happiness like Make An Appointment to Find a spa/salon where you'll feel comfortable and visit a Skin Care, experts says on a commercials: Two or three “facials” a year can really make a difference.

    Take a supplements: Use skin care products packed with vitamins and minerals, for these way i really push you to buy a collagen from these product name called Dear-natura if unable to find this product look for any collagen products that have a 2000mg of collagen because it really works.

      exercise daily.  Inner health and inner beauty is scientifically proven to be reflected on the outside.

Naturactor: Most Celebrities Beauty Product Secret

  from my last vacation,my sister neighbors ask me a favor if I could buy for her a make up stuff brand named "naturactor"?  I don't have any idea about this brand and honestly never heard of it. 

 
I told her that I will try to look this for her, when I'll get back to Japan, few days ago I ask some store somewhere in tokyo if where to buy and find this product, but nobody can tell me where too.  I'm thinking to give it up after I Google it on the web, and found a lots of reviews,forum and people who also looking for it.  my interest gets fired up after seeing a lots of woman longing to buy it.

  I search on for this product manufacturer name,and I found that this is made by this company named "Meiko" means 'make up' in english.

   I navigate the store through their website access page and I found that Meiko have an outlet store located in Takashimaya Yokohama Japan, but every two months for only one week (takashimaya is  a first class department store in Yokohama,Japan who selling branded products like louis vuitton,channel,hermes and more….)

  I never wasted anytime to think if I'll should rather buy it next two months again because I know that it ended soon. I go to their outlet and.  at first,  I really thought it was expensive because their selling on the first class department store, but I was shock to see that it is so cheap!  compared to my current make up right now, the price was 7 times cheap,  I buy 7 types of their product and I spend ¥4,186 in yen,$48 in dollars,3,500 in peso only for 7 products. 

here are the items I bought from them:   

naturactor powder foundation - I find that few scrubs is ample to get a flawless and full coverage finish, and I like to use a buffing foam with this foundation to get achieve a seamless, fresh faced and natural look. It's absolutely great to find a really good foundation as I am always on the look out for one. Their website shows all the shades and prices, check it out ====> www.naturactorfoundation.com

naturactor silky lucent powder - They do NOT settle into fine lines Depending on the coverage that you want, you can go from light to heavy andThey last ALL day!!!

 
(http://goo.gl/caHRxO )

naturactor liquid moisture foundation - After wearing the foundation for a while now, I would definitely recommend it for its value, coverage, finish and blend. This is a brilliant foundation for any of you who have slightly oily skin because it doesn't have a dewy finish but instead dries quite matte whilst still retaining the skins natural glow.

 
(http://goo.gl/caHRxO )

naturactor cover face -  It blends easily, effortlessly balance uneven skin tone and giving you the control to create a flawless finish. Each unit may be used for up to 5 months with everyday use Can last up to 8 hours or more Looks Natural Provides great coverage for skin. It's long lasting and you only need to apply a little to get the perfect skin look.

-Review-

Long coverage on spots, scar, dark eyes circle, face and neck area With Natural Herbal Essence It can also be applied on hands and legs to cover uneven tone or scar. To achieve a natural and smoother looking skin texture and its Oil Free.
naturactor make up base - It blends seamlessly into the skin,i put it on before applying make up and i think it good to wear it on a day.

 
(http://goo.gl/caHRxO )

naturactor liquid eyeliner - by the way i refuse to use liquid eyeliner for putting line to my eyes for some reason was its irritating when im in hurry!  i really couldn't put  it right, so i just prefer using it when i have plenty of time to prepare.

 
(http://goo.gl/caHRxO )

naturactor lipstick -  just bought it for i already get tired of my rescent lipstick. but not bad because i already enjoyed using it now.

 
(http://goo.gl/caHRxO )

-Packaging-

The product is housed in a dainty box printed in a glossy and matte finish (Wonder how much the company spent on the box alone,). Everything's written in Japanese so I sugguest checking out Meiko Cosmetics' website for the ingredient information. Overall, I like how this is branded, it's simple and no-fuss.

 The actual product is contained in a plain white circular container, and is open or sealed through twisting the cap. The packaging's material is made of hard plastic. The product's name and a simple linear detail is printed around the product's cap. The shade's name and information can be found at the bottom of the product. I think the container is sturdy and won't break if ever you would accidentally drop this. I'm just worried about the label fading over the long run, and I get very irritated over superficial reasons like that.

Beauty Hack: Proper Ways to Apply Your Lipstick

many women love to wear red lipstick because it is a color that can pops the shape of a lips and enhance many look.
red lips are the quintessential sexy and classy look but getting it "just right" can take a little hard and turn unexpected mistakes. when it comes to putting lipstick on my lips I don't really have a confidence to teach it with you all when I'm also struggling to choose it for myself sometimes.
but as one of those make up and fashion inventor, I am proud to say that i also have a Good instinct and taste to choose if what are the best color that fits for my lips (because every where I go, I always get a lots of compliments from anybody around me on my lips color), my first way to do before applying make up first is to choose a right lipstick that fits for my skin color by rubbing all the lipstick product I'd choose in my hand one by one. you can do yours too.

if your complexion is pink, I can say you look better in plum shades, while girl with yellow tones are flattered by warmer reds that have a brown base. however,it is important to try different shades of red to find the one that suits you best. another things that you can do is to ask any make up retails assistant when you go shop like mac cosmetics ,clinique, chanel,shiseido,maquillage,lancom,rmk or helena rubenstein near by in your place because all of lipsticks shop had a free make up tutorials for their customer.
now your done choosing your lipstick lets proceed to apply it proper and to expect the best result after.

4 proper steps to apply your lipstick:
 
1. proper applying: clean and dry your lips first before doing anything. after cleaning it slightly moisturize your lips by adding a little lip balm or for best result use vaseline petroleum jelly and let it absorbed for a minutes before proceeding to the main project.
 
(http://goo.gl/cY9bGA)
2. additional things to do to enhance the texture of your lips after applying the lip balm is to add a border line to your lips by Lip liner pencil you have, the other reason for putting this border line outside on your is to prevent lipstick from running and bleeding outside your lips boundary.
(http://goo.gl/cY9bGA)

Recommend:
i push you to use a Lip liner with a nude color or something that is similar to the red shades of your lipstick. if your trembling on putting this and made a mistakes i suggest you to don't swipe it with your finger,use a make-up remover you have or if haven't that use a cotton bud for best result.

tips: if you don't have Lip liner, just pat a concealer across your lips and rub it outside your lips. it really had a good result.
now your finish to do the two bases before applying lipstick. now lets go to the main purpose of this tutorials.

3. you can now apply the lipstick you've choose,don't forget to include the inner part of your lips,so that when your smile the color of your real lips might be a big contrast to the redness. it is best to apply using a lip brush you have and not the entire lipstick bottle.the brushed do is to ensure that the lipstick is added precisely and it makes your lips redder,fuller and holding perfect to your lips.
(http://goo.gl/gld35E)
4. then the last but not the least,is to apply either a clear lip gloss rub slightly once, because if you put it too much it may dribble your red lipstick and it can turn your lips like clown.(http://goo.gl/gld35E)

New BB Germanium BB Cream Foundation SPF20 PA++ Review

After spending hard times looking for the Make up set that fits for my skin wanted.I can't believe, I found more than expectation. I waited so long to buy this foundation, I'd have to say this is my new apple of the eyes today since I'm leaving MAC (previous beauty brand) which is a big thing considering I've tried  a lots of foundations from drugstore to high end up and nothing compares to this. It is flawless and it really does stay on all day. I top this with BB germanium powder in medium and my colleagues even complemented on how nice my skin looks, Next bottle I buy will probably be a different shade as I think even the makeup artist from any Expensive make up company tutored me different type of their products  but didn't quiet match me well. I'm fair with some shadow,lines and freckles, But was matched to dhcBB Cream foundation with the exact color match my skin tone. 

  I bought it 2 products in 1 set the  BB germanium cream foundation and BB mineral powder germanium manufactured by this Cosmetic Company named dhc.(dhc.com)

if you asking me if what is germanium doing in a make up?  I would say sorry for I don't know also!  all I know about germanium is it can absorb any dead cells and stressed in our body and skin! so may be it can absorb a dead skin in our face also,  just guessing!!

-BB  MINERAL POWDER-

(dhc.com)

Overall, I would agree that this powder provides a smoother and more natural appearance than ordinary powders do. When I've applied this powder, my skin somehow manages to be matte, yet retains a luminous look that I don't get with most pressed powders, probably due to the BB nature. I also love that it performed equally well regardless of what I used beneath it! For instance, my Young blood mineral powder often gives me a dewy look that leans a little towards oily by midday, but using the BB powder on top really kept shine at bay for a few more hours.

 MY RATE: 5 ★★★★★ and I love this product.

I've already worn it all week, and given it a good workout by applying it over BB cream.

-Details-
*Contains a mirror and sponge applicator below the powder pan.
*Smooth, velvety texture.
*Lightweight, yet buildable (you can choose between using it on its own if you have flawless skin, or as a setting powder over BB creams or foundation).
you can purchase it from rakuten global market,ebay.com and amazon.
(I accidentally drop it once and it was amazing because it was still managed to stay in one piece).
