Great Gifts Countdown: Day 21

“The Holidays are coming!” 🙂

Remember how were we holding our breath with excitement when we were little, while chasing the first snowflake? School break, smell of mom’s baking, building a snowman, crazy winter sports with friends, and endless hours of indoor games. But let’s be honest. The main part of the winter excitement was waiting for the gifts. Well, and magic. Because getting this amount of gifts when it wasn’t even your birthday has something to do with magic, right? 😉

With this year’s early chill, let us all remember the joys of winter as we saw it as little girls, when there was no such thing as “cold outside” and hats and mittens seemed like completely useless accessories! 🙂

And let us carry on the “winter magic” by giving thoughtful gifts to the special people who mean the world to us! You know that deep inside they hope they will get something truly exciting. Like that little child untying her first ribbon on the crispy Christmas morning..

Phoenix Beauty Lounge University: Lip Shaping Trick

Welcome Back to our Phoenix Beauty Lounge University!

This is not the kind of university where you’d want to miss your classes, right?

Today we will examine a trick our body does to us when we do our makeup.

Tip #7

YoureWelcomeWednesday Beauty University: Lip Shape

YoureWelcomeWednesday Beauty University: Lip Shape


“Lining your lips from the outer corner in will create a more full, round lip shape. Lining lips from middle out tends to create a more pointy cupid’s bow”

In 90 cases out of 100, this is what tends to happen. It’s just how are hands work.

Choosing a more rounded lip silhouette or a pointy and straight lip is entirely up to you. Both are fun, but the first one seems to be in line with what’s considered to be the “current beauty ideal”. Whatever.

You can always experiment with both and see what suits your face or your mood better. But it’s always good to know what you’re doing and achieve your desired lip look intentionally. 

Have you noticed that sometimes both sides of your lips look uneven or asymmetrical? Look into the way you paint them in. Whatever the lip look, please use the same method on both sides. Makes sense? You’re welcome!

Phoenix Beauty Lounge University: Eye Lifting Tricks

Welcome Back to our Phoenix Beauty Lounge University!

More often than not, the difference between a fresh, complementing makeup look that defines and brings out your best features, and the one that’s “meh” and not doing much is in small details. Sometimes it’s even hard to pinpoint these details exactly, and most often they are based on the way we perceive facial features on a psychological level, and on the way our eyesight and brain works.

So if you want to learn more about makeup psychology, visual effects and subtle ways to consciously improve your everyday appearance, keep coming back to read our Wednesday series!

Tip #5

Another eye lifting trick: wipe mascara off the last few lashes or trim your falsies, so your outermost eyelash goes up

Another eye lifting trick: wipe mascara off the last few lashes
or trim your falsies, so your outermost eyelash goes up


“Another eye lifting trick: wipe mascara off the last few lashes
or trim your falsies, so your outermost eyelash goes up”

The last eyelashes on the outer corner of the eye grow on a more horizontal line or sometimes even go down, creating an undesirable “droopy eye” effect for some people.

If you add definition mostly to the lashes that go upwards and remove mascara (or trim falsies, whichever is your case), so that the last defined lash goes up, it will create an instant eye lift, make your eyes appear more awake and will help create more of an almond shape.

This tip also works for the majority of eyelid shapes, including normal, hooded, droopy and monolid. Btw, did you notice that Britney Spears has really droopy eyes? No? Google it. See the power of makeup?

So next time you put your mascara on, check what’s going on in the very outer corners, remove excess and make sure they are nice and perky! See the difference? You’re welcome!

Welcome back to our Phoenix Beauty Lounge University!

Tip #4:

Do you agree that sometimes makeup tricks can create an instant face feature correction without the use of plastic surgery? Here’s one of such lesser-known but very powerful makeup artistry tricks:

For an instant non-surgical eye lifting effect always conceal the outer corners of your eyes

For an instant non-surgical eye lifting effect always conceal the outer corners of your eyes

“For an instant non-surgical eye lifting effect always conceal the outer corners of your eyes”

The darkness, redness or discoloration in the outer corners visually creates a horizontal eye line. Whereas if you color-correct and conceal this area, your eyes will appear to have more of an upward almond shape, which is very complementing and more youthful.

Very subtle, yet powerful. Works for the majority of eyelid shapes, including monolid.

Look into the mirror. See that little dark area? Conceal it! See the difference? You’re welcome!
