Exfoliation is an essential practice that should be included in your regular skincare routine for obtaining a fresh looking and soft skin. There are many reasons for which one should do exfoliation and there is no limitation basing on the skin type. Both oily and dry and even the normal skin holders can do exfoliation of their skin to get rid of their particular skin problems.

For the ones with oily skin, exfoliation is necessary to remove the sebum that appears quite frequently from the sebaceous glands based on face. Sebum is generally good for the skin as it keeps holding the water of skin by retaining it soft and supple nature but its overproduction will lead to several issues like white heads, black heads, pimples and loss of oxygen to the skin cells. So, exfoliation releases the skin cells and frees it from being clogged by sebum.

People with dry skin should do exfoliation for removing the dead and dry skin cells and cleaning the skin. So, the dead cells that were jamming and covering the skin from gaining the moisture treatment will be eliminated. Too much of pollution and sun burn too makes the skin looks pale and ashy which can very well be cleared through exfoliation.

When it is about choosing the right exfoliate, one must keep in mind her skin type and her age. There are natural home made scrubs, wash clothes and mild scrubs available in the market which will go good for the soft and young skin. However, the ones reaching the middle ages can get exfoliates with BHA. BHA is salicylic acid and is good for cleaning the outer layer of skin together with also going inside the pore to clean the stuffs blocking the skin cells.

While buying an exfoliate you can check the ingredients list where you must find components like BHA, a pH and salicylic acid etc. of which the salicylic acid should be high in quantity. A few products that can be preferred for your skin care with exfoliation are Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel Exfoliant for oily skin costing $18.95 and Olay’s Regenerist Night Resurfacing Elixir ($29.99).

Knowing your skin’s undertone is often quite useful and better for you as you will get guided a lot by it in choosing your clothe colors, your cosmetics and accessories. You might have seen girls or ladies wearing a perfect dress and quite fashionable accessories but the irony is that sometimes they do not look that good and adorable as they should have been. Although they try a lot to keep everything perfect but still something remains undone somewhere and here only comes the context of the undertone which if not matched well with clothes and accessories then you are sure to not look good. But as the undertone is of three types and it varies from one person to another, the same dress and accessories may suit someone else.

There are cool, warm and neutral; three different types of undertones which can be decided and known by you on your own. You can check the inside of your wrist which under the natural light may show you either a blue or a greenish tint. People with blue tint are the ones who are cool toned and the greenish shade denotes warm tone. But if you have a shade of both these colors, then you are neutral which means any color and shade in the clothes and accessories will look good on you. You can do the same test by checking under your arms as well.

Girls with cool tone will look good in colors like bright white, violet, pink, fuchsia, blue and turquoise for clothing; burgundy, mauve or tulip etc. colors for lips; ash blonde, champagne or a darker shade of light brown for hair and blues or lavenders for the eyes.

If you have a warm tone then you can wear clothes in colors like ivory, orange, yellow, red or green. However, colors like putty, apricot or redwood will go good for the lips and golden blonde or golden brown shade will be perfect for hairs. But the ones with a neutral skin undertone will not have to bother about anything and any color or shade will make them look great.

Emma Watson, remember that little curly haired cute Hogwarts wizard school girl? Well, she is no more that little wizard and this beauty has turned to a bombshell now that can make anybody skip a heart beat through her ravishing acting skills and great looks. However, seeing her is a gorgeous Bottega Veneta golden dress would be a different experience for all that was witnessed in the premier of the Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows Part II at New York. Some went mad at her looks and dress and some wondered how seductive she was looking in that smoky gold leaf eye make-up. Well, if that smoky eye- make-up has taken your heart away then it is time that you too sport it for the New Year celebrations and make your man and others die on your look. 

To begin with, even it is only about the eye but you will also have to take care of the other parts of your face as they too play a key role in highlighting your eyes and make you look good. So, wash and cleanse your face and apply a light, natural colored foundation on your face and do not forget to use a concealer for those parts where you have dark or other spots.

Next, get a black eye shadow and eye shadow blender or brush to create a shadow over your eyelid towards the creaseline and try to give a wing effect through this eye shadow only. You will have to give this wing effect on the outer corner of your eye. However, while doing so the eye shadow may fall under your eyes and hence, do a beforehand puffing of face powder under your eyes which will make removing the eye shadow easier. Take a look at the eyes of Emma below for an idea on how to draw the wing effect.

Now use a black kohl eyeliner pencil and apply it all along the lower lash line but softly smudging the eyeliner and cover it up with eyeliner on the inner edge of the lower lashes. This will define your eyes. After this get a black mascara to apply it on both upper and lower lashes of your eyes twice. This will make the lashes thick giving your eyes a dramatic look. It is now time to apply a gold glitter eye shadow but remember that you will have to put in on your inner corner of the upper and lower lid only. Now ornament it with some eye jewels and put these on the out corners of your eyes. You are now done and just apply a soft light shade of pink lipstick on your lips without any lip liner and apply pink powder blusher on the apples of your cheek by blending it well with the cheekbones!
