Gearing Up For a Fancy Dress Party

At times it is so tough to decide what to wear to your friend's fancy dress party. But there are so many dresses that you need not sweat about it. Just make sure that the dress you choose is really a show - stopper and one that will make heads turn. The whole idea of a fancy dress party is to allow your imagination to run wild and come up with those unique costumes which you would only dream of wearing in a trial room for fun. Always choose bright and vibrant colors that highlight the color of your skin tone.

Many a times fancy dress parties are theme based, so it solves your problem of racking your brains for a costume. How ever if there is no theme specified, then allow your imagination to get the better of you, especially if you are the shy yet imaginative type. Go with the flow and pick your favorite dress, be it from the medieval period, the Elizabethan period or Victorian. Of course, in this kind of a period dress your will find yourself being tightly bound in a corset, so think twice before you settle for a dress from this era of cancans and frills.

A lot will depend on the season in which the fancy dress has to be worn. Wearing a long silk gown during the peak of summer is definitely not a very comfortable idea. You could try wearing on of your favorite Hollywood actor or actress' costume, like a long flowing gown, a short but glamorous evening dress or a tuxedo for men. In case you like Bollywood actors and actresses, then you choice automatically increases to a newer range to choose from. Try wearing the six yard Indian sari or the salwar kameez, which ever takes your fancy. And do remember to apply make up befitting an actress on screen.

If you are a water lover, you could try on a scuba diving or even the bay watch life guard costume or a mermaid's costume. A Hawaiian dress with the floral wreaths and garlands would make a beautiful and colorful costume too. You could opt for a completely informal look with a colorful skirt and blouse or shorts and a fancy print shirt for men. Try the sea pirate costume. It would definitely make you stand out among the milieu. The doctor and nurse dresses are a bit out - dated but nevertheless still a hit among many.

Fairy tale characters are always a big hit with everyone at a fancy dress party. You could go as Robin Hood or Red Riding Hood or better still Cinderella or Snow White, the Tin Soldier or even a goblin. There are so many fairy tale characters to choose from. You could try being an alien from outer space or Superman or Batman too. You could go dressed up as a student and bring back memories of the good old school days for everyone at the fancy dress party too.

The Make Up Secrets Of The Hollywood Stars

A girl has to do what she needs to do to look great.

And learning how to apply eye make up to look great means you've learned the most important make up techniques. In fact, once you learn the top make up tips for the eye area you're going to look like you have your own professional makeup artist, and look just as stunning as a Hollywood actress.

Applying Mascara

Always apply your mascara in two coats. Place your finger near the middle of the lid and pull up to hold your lid taut. Hold the wand in a horizontal position, first apply only to the lash tips; and then sweep the mascara from your roots to the tips.

You need to leave each coat dry for about 5 minutes before applying the next coat. Don't rush it! When the first coat is dry, apply the second coat.

Applying Eyeliner

You can choose liquid eyeliner for a more dramatic eye or pencil eyeliner for a softer look. Everyone has their own preference. What you want to do is create the illusion of darkness around the exterior eye. Pull the skin taut and then start at the inner part of the lid, drawing a smooth thin line evenly across the upper lid. If you want a softer look then smudge the line using the smudger end on the pencil or a Q-tip.

Next, do the bottom lid. Extend your thin pencil line along the lash line. Try to get as close to the nose as possible for better definition. If you want a softer look, don't do your bottom lid. Also, remember you can fix any mistake with a Q-tip.

Applying Eye Shadow

The more traditional application involves applying the eye shadow right to the top of the lid using three shades. Medium tones are more neutral, light are effective for highlighting and dark contours.

Start by applying the first sweep of eye shadow across the entire lid. This is your medium toned shadow and can be silver brown, amaretto, antique gold, or platinum. If you want a little more drama, use khaki green, mauve, or Tahitian blue.

For more emphasis, you should add a darker shade of shadow along the crease of the eye. Good choices for dark include French Mocha, Terra Cotta, Nutmeg, Navajo Brown, and Wind. Finally use a lighter tone like French Vanilla to highlight the brow bone. You can use two or three shades for application.

One final tip, if you have wrinkles around the eye area that are making you look older, then use a wrinkle cream that works.

And wrinkle creams that work, do so in about 7-10 minutes.

An anti wrinkle and anti aging regime that works enhances the effectiveness of your make up to amazing effect.
