Signs Your Make Up Is Making You Unwell

If make up gets old, contaminated or dirty, it can make you sick. This is why it is important to throw out make-up that is too old t o wear.

One sign that your make-up might be making you ill is if you have skin irritation. Old perfumes, foundations and moisturizers can cause this. Even washing pads, like Olay wipes and other skin cleaning products can cause problems. Another culprit when it comes to skin irritation is perfume, shaving creams and hair removal waxes.

If you are experiencing itchy eyes, crusty eyes or pink eye (known as conjunctivitis) then the culprit can be your eye make up. Make sure that your eyeliners, mascara and other make up is not older than three months. Sometimes the culprit is a brush or applicator or your eyelash curler.

If your skin looks darker than usual it can mean that you are using old or bacteria-ridden powder. Skin that is under stress can get darker. Make sure you toss out any powdered makeup after two years and any liquid make up that is over six months old. Try not to leave your makeup in humid or warm area.

One way to prevent your makeup or make up tools from becoming infected is to clean your hands thoroughly with an antibacterial gel before you use it. At home washing your hands thoroughly with hot water and soap can also prevent germs from infecting your make up.

Sometimes it is not contaminated make up that is making you ill. It can be what is in the make up that can be the problem. Some ingredients in make up can cause people to have mood swings; this is thought to be connected to hormones. Mercury in cosmetics can also cause nausea, restlessness and other problems.

Memory loss can be the result of using make-up that contains mercury or other metals. Mercury is also linked to learning problems or affect your ability to memorize information. This is turn can be linked to impairments and birth defects. If you are not doing well in school the culprit might very well be your make up. Mercury in make up can also cause such serious symptoms as tremors, vertigo and headaches.

If you start noticing some hair loss, the culprit could be your make up! Metals in make up can make people sick and make them lose their hair. This is due to certain toxic color additives.

In order to prevent environmental sensitivities from affecting you make an effort to-do some research about the brand of make up you is buying for you do buy it.

How to Look Like a Bond Girl

Do you want to look like a sex siren from a James Bond movie? Here are a few tips for making it happen.

To look like Naomie Harris in Skyfall make sure you keep your make-up in the nude range but your clothing bright and spectacular. Wear only shimmering bronzer, nude eyeliner and a slick nude gloss. This is the classy Bond Girl who wears a lot of red. One of her signature looks in the film was a loose red shirt, slim pencil skirt in red and a tan belt and shoes.

One trademark shared by all of the Bond girls is super shiny hair. One of the best ways to get this is to use a hair dryer with positive ions in your beauty routine. It is also a good idea to use a hair oil after you wash your hair to make it gleam. Make sure you massage the ends so that every single shaft of your hair lies correctly, reflects the light and looks shiny. The Bond Girl that did this one right was Berenice Marlohe – the Bond girl with the long gleaming black locks.

Halle Barry as Jinx Johnson was another famous Bond Girl. She was the Bond Girl who was not afraid to use a bit of hair gel to create a unique look. Her character was also not afraid to dress in unique colors. Remember that orange retro bikini she wore? It made her stand out from the rest of the women on the beach like an exotic bird! Do not be afraid to add a little color into your life in this way. Wear a startling color.

You can take a make up tip from Bond Girl Vespa Lynd. She was the perfect underplayed vamp. She had dark eye make up that was very thin but big lips rouged in with dark red lipstick. Gleaming locks, protected with oils and shine enhancers are part of her beauty regime as well.

Another femme fatale was Famke in Goldeneye where she played the character of Xenia Onatopp. Smudge eyeliner, dark red nails and nails and coiffed hair made her look fantastic. She is one of the few Bond girls who could real rock a leather jacket.

One of the most attractive of the retro-look Bond girls was Gemma Arterton in Quantum Solace. The character of Mrs. Fields had a unique look. Big necklaces, shift dresses and nude lips teamed up with cat eye style eyeliner to create a vintage femme fatale.
