Simple Techniques For Tips For Applying Your Your Facial Foundation The Best Way

By Tom Perry

Everyone has seen women who apply cosmetic foundation in an incorrect manner, it gives them a heavily made-up look, they have foundation lines, and instead of looking beautiful, it's obvious that they have tried to apply makeup in the incorrect manner.

This all begins with the choosing of foundation. If you don't get the exact match for your skin, no matter how little you apply, your face is going to look different from the rest of you. This is why it's important that if you are not familiar with color schemes, that you seek out professional help for your cosmetic foundation.

There are many different types and brands, so talk to several different professionals before you choose your facial foundation.

Once you have found the foundation that actually matches your own skin tones, then it's time to start learning how to apply it. First of all, start with clean fresh skin, if you don't, you might wind up with oily shine, granules, and of course, bacteria caught in your pores that will cause acne.

When applying makeup of any type, don't get in a hurry, you need fresh clean skin, and possibly acne medication underneath the foundation

you'll then start dabbing a small amount of foundation, remember, you can always add more later. Dab a bit on your cheeks, your forehead, and on your chin. You'll need to spread your foundation rather quickly, it normally will dry to a matte or somewhat powdery finish, and it doesn't take long for this to happen. So spread quickly so it gets uniformly spread all over your face.

Spreading outwards the most important aspect of correct foundation application. In other words you will spread from your nose outwards, your forehead up, and your chin down past your throat.

Everyone has the it at one time or another, foundation lines between a woman's foundation and her actual skin on. Often, this is because they are applying their foundation in a room without natural lighting, set up your makeup application area with as natural of lighting as possible. This will help you avoid typical errors.

Remember that spreading the foundation into your throat, neck and hairline will help keep a solid line from forming. Make sure that you don't have visible foundation in your hairline, and that the line slowly but surely disappears.

Your skin can look beautiful with the correct foundation for your type of skin and your skin tone. Then make sure you apply it correctly in as natural lighting as possible so it evens out skin tones and leaves you with a fresh appearance.

How to Liberate a Bow Arm

By Clayton Haslop

Today's message should be very helpful to you, IF, that is, you are like most violinists and can always use an insight on how keep your right arm technique sharp.

Most violinists have four main challenges when it comes to their bow-arm; keeping it straight, keeping it horizontal, achieving clean, non-disruptive string crossings, and coordinating changes of string and direction with the left hand.

Now, you may disagree with me. You may be thinking, "my biggest problem is with spiccato or martel - I can do all those other things."

If that's the case, I'd say, you'd be wise to pay attention, your spiccato difficulties may have more to do with these things than you think.

Today I'm just going to discuss the first two challenges - keeping the bow straight and keeping it horizontal. For most of us 'straight' is pretty well understood to mean parallel to the bridge. What's not so clear, in my experience, is the need for the components of the bow arm to facilitate the horizontal travel of the bow.

And for this to happen there are exactly 3 joints we have that must ALLOW this to happen - the wrist, the elbow and the shoulder.

Take the wrist - one of the most common no-nos I see is the RAISING of the wrist at the frog. Raising the wrist immediately takes one component of your bow-arm out of that horizontal plane of movement so necessary to an efficient, seamless bow arm.

So how should the wrist flex? The wrist must flex forward and remain within the 'plane of motion' the bow arm inhabits, while also maintaining the bow in a position parallel to the bridge.

This idea of staying in the plane of motion extends to the elbow as well. I see a lot of players introducing unnecessary complications to their bow-arm by elevating and lowering the elbow in the course of drawing a full bow.

And then they wonder why the bow 'chatters' on the string, or they have difficulty with quick string crossings and such. Well, there's just too much going on, and all that contrary energy is getting fed right into the bow stick.

Finally, there's the shoulder. How fresh is the memory of my father standing next to me tapping my shoulder to get it to relax during my early years of practice.

Though relaxed, the muscles in the shoulder must nonetheless control critical movements of the upper arm that comes into play at the lower part of the bow and during string crossings.

I'll talk more about string crossings tomorrow, yet for now it is important to understand that, although the shoulder is bearing the weight of the arm and bow, it must nonetheless be relaxed, since it plays a critical role in moving the bow straight and horizontally at the frog.

This is to say, you cannot confuse the vertical movements involved in string crossings with the lateral movements of the upper arm involved in bowing.

This morning I again made a worthwhile investment into my practice by playing Kreutzer Etude #2 at the extreme frog. You might be interested to know that for me to accomplish it, at tempo, from top to bottom with a really smooth detach bowing, I 'belly breathed' like a stallion in heat. You've got to keep the upper body absolutely relaxed to do this, and belly-breathing is a secret every violinist should know.

By Neil Holloway

I above all people was skeptical if I could honestly make $150 per day working with Gamer Testing Ground playing the newest releases of games and checking for problems. All my friends did not believe when I told them I was a professional video game tester. I had my own doubts until I decided to take action and look into becoming a professional video game tester.

After testing video games myself and now doing this professionally for six months I can share I have a great job! The truth is because most are skeptical there are many fewer game testers right now than there is a demand. Let me share with you for a moment about Gamer Testing Ground.

Over the past few months and I have been introduced to some of the programmers, they have come to trust and like my gaming ability, and need more testers right now. The simple reason is because programmers spend all their time making updates and improvements and do not have the time to play their games all day. Because of this fact they are willing to pay good money for individuals to play their games.

I need to make sure to say this first. You need to be someone who loves playing video games before you visit the site, otherwise you will be bored quickly. The truth is it does pay well (I now make around $175/day and the top gamers are making $120/hour) because the more I test the more I find what they are looking for as a professional tester. Honestly, not everyone is willing to play video games, the truth is even if you paid them to for it.

Make Sure To Visit Gamer Testing Ground

The main reason why I am now doing this is because the pay is really good and I get to play the newest games. It is a steady stream of good income and I no longer need part time jobs. Another advantage that should not be overlooked is that I get to play from home while making money. So many games being released every year into a $50 billion industry, the job opportunities continue to grow and my work never stops.
