Make Up Emergency Quick Fixes

It could happen to anyone at any time. You never know so in case it happens to you be prepared and know what to do!

 

Lipstick On Teeth

The old trick of popping your finger in your mouth and pulling it out as you make an ‘o’ shape with your lips is a foolproof way to ensure that any excess lipstick wont transfer onto your teeth. Blotting your lipstick with a tissue also helps.

Skin Blemishes And Pimples

Just don’t pop them. Squeezing only irritates skin, making it redder and more swollen. Use an ice cube if a surprise pimple appears. Pimples sometimes surface at the worst possible moments. Nip a zit in the bud by applying an ice cube to the inflamed area for a couple minutes. The cold should help curb the swelling and calm inflammation. If you’re lucky enough to have some Visine eye drops with you, apply a drop to the pimple to help eliminate redness.

Puffy Eyes

Lie down and place cold cotton balls over closed eyes for 10 minute. This will drain accumulated fluids and reduce swelling. You can also use cucumber slices by placing them on closed eyes for about 10 minute. Another idea is leaving cold tea bags in the refrigerator till they are cold then using them as a compress.

Smudged Eye Liner Or Mascara

You accidentally rub your eyes with your fingers or either you yawned and your eyes got all teary causing your eye liner to smudge, if you dont fix this you would look like you have raccoon eyes btw this is does not look fashionable at all, Smokey eyes are hot but raccoon eyes are not. Don't try to wash it straigh away. Wait few minutes till it dries and will be easier to remove. What you can do is take a makeup wipe and gently remove the fallen eyeliner. You must secure some inside your bag so that encase if this incident happens again your ready to fix it.

New Era For Mature Models

The professional life expectancy of a top model was never good. When asked about the prospects of a group of twentysomethings, Cathy Gould, the director of Elite Model Management, said: "They are too old to succeed in a field where much of the talent is recruited out of school."

However, a big change is under way in this most image-obsessed of businesses. While waif-like youngsters were once the order of the day, it is now glamorous women in their forties and fifties who are the new stars of the industry - taking the plum contracts and fronting international campaigns for major fashion houses and cosmetics companies.

Demand for mature women is such that leading modelling agencies on both sides of the Atlantic revealed to The Independent on Sunday that they are struggling to cope with the number of bookings.

Mature models are models that are older than typical models. Age is not the key factor, but rather appearance. A mature face, with a great smile and bright eyes is still quite a marketable commodity. However the standard is that mature models are over their 30s.

Becoming more than just a trend, many mature male and female models are becoming permanent fixtures on the catwalks of many prestigious fashion designers of today. The women or men who interested in fashion modeling you can register here.

With those days long gone these women are far from becoming has-been, strutting their stuff on the catwalk well into there fifties. These women are not booked because of their age but because of their look.

Unlike youngsters, most people in their middle to senior years of life approach modeling with a little modest anxiety wondering if they really do have what it takes to be a mature model community. Male models have always worked well past there 20s into there 50s. Often just getting started in modeling in their late teens, age barriers have never kept males limited.

It is a trend that has taken many in the modelling industry by surprise. At London-based Models 1, one of Europe's leading agencies, they have begun re-signing older models, who may have left the profession years earlier to have families or pursue alternative careers in the assumption that their modelling days were over.

Branding experts and marketing managers have seen the effect that resurgent older models such as Twiggy and Marie Helvin - who recently made her professional comeback at the age of 50 - can have on product sales, and are queuing up to replicate it. Last year, Dove soap became one of the first major brands to apply a radical new strategy, using 95-year-old Irene Sinclair as part of its "Campaign for Real Beauty".

One British model given a second lease of life by the phenomenon is Angie Hill, who signed her first, new, major beauty contract - with cosmetics giant Garnier- last year, at the age of 42. "When I was 24 I thought I was too old," said Ms Hill, who appeared on the cover of numerous magazines during the 1980s, including Cosmopolitan, Elle and Marie Claire.

"I had two children and realised I couldn't compete with 16-year-olds, so I quit and started working with my husband in fashion design."

Then last year, Ms Hill - who hails from south London but now lives in Los Angeles - was pushed firmly back into the spotlight by Garnier.

So don't be afraid if you think you're too old and give it a try (or ask your mums to do so! or even gradmas!)
