Summer-Proof Makeup: Lipstick


how to make your lip color last all day
What You Will Need

  • Lip scrub
  • Lip balm
  • Nude lip liner
  • Your favorite lipstick
  • Translucent powder
Instructions
  1. Polish your pout. For a long-lasting lipstick application, first remove flaky skin to create a smooth base. We love Fresh Sugar Lip Polish, but gently scrubbing with a warm washcloth or soft toothbrush will also give you the exfoliation you need.
  2. Soften the lips. Seal in the softness of your freshly polished lips with a hydrating lip balm. Allow the product to sink in for a few minutes before moving on to the next step.
  3. Fill it all in. Line and fill in the entire lip with a pencil to create a base for the lipstick to cling to. Choose a shade that’s close to your natural coloring to avoid any visible contrast between your liner and lipstick. 
Expert Tip: If you’re going for something darker, makeup artist Gabriel Almodovar recommends first applying a long-lasting lip stain. Then fill in your lips with a pencil that is the same shade as the lipstick to create more intense color.

  1. Apply. Blot. Repeat. Two layers of color deliver twice the staying power. Apply your first coat, blot with a tissue, and apply again.
  2. Seal the deal. A light dusting of translucent powder will set the color in place so you can be on your way (feel free to leave your lipstick at home).
Quick Tip: In a pinch, you can skip steps 1-3. Just apply, blot, repeat and powder.

Nothing But Sweat Workout Posted by Lisa-Marie   Warning : Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/sites/bodyrock.tv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bodyrock.tv/wo-breakdown.php  on line  528 . Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
