    Celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal visited The Early Show to show how to get yourself looking great without having your face melt off in the summer heat! FACE: Products: Laura Gellar Spackle Tinted Under Make-up Primer QVC.com $24.00 Cle De Peau Beaute Powder Foundation Saks Fifth Avenue Stores $75.00 Shiseido Multi Shade Enhancer Sephora.com $25.00 E.L.F Mineral Powder Foundation SPF15 eyelipsface.com $5.00 As soon as heat and humidity set in, so does sweating. And if you're wearing foundation, it can turn into a greasy, slick mess, leaving your skin looking oily, streaky, and patched with clumps of makeup. So can you get your skin looking dewy and beautiful without having the heat melt it off? The secret, says Mally, is to use primer and a powder foundation. The primer will lock moisture into your skin, and provide a smooth surface to apply foundation on; the powder foundation will cover your skin to even it out and make it look glowy without risking melting (since it's oil free) Directions: 1) Apply the primer all over an already cleansed and moisturized face and allow to sink in skin for one minute. 2) Apply a powder foundation with a brush in a circular motion buffing it into the skin. This works the best because it gives a seamless natural finish that doesn't look like makeup. It also combats shine, and it's an all-in-one foundation & powder application! EYES: Products: YSL EverlongWaterproof Mascara YSLbeautyus.com $27.50 Mally Beauty 24/7 Eye-lining System QVC.com $25.00 Many women find that after applying their eye makeup in the morning, by mid-afternoon it's run and melted down their eyes, leaving them with dark streaks and shadows well below the lash line.

  • ​Rehearsal, Show, Hair & Makeup Guidelines
    Rehearsal, Show, Hair & Makeup Guidelines ​ Rehearsal & Show Guidelines to Make a JOYful Experience for All: ALWAYS – Check to be sure you have everything needed. Designate a “Show Bag” with all your items. We provided a checklist for costume pieces in the Costume Book to make it easier. We recommend making your own checklist for Hip Hop Costumes. Check these lists before coming to the show and when leaving the theater every time. – Write names on all costume pieces, tights and shoes. – Please plan ahead and be on time. – Costumes should be clean and unwrinkled. – Sewing is always preferred over pinning when making any costume fixes/adjustments. – Underwear should not be worn under tights if they are visible or show lines. If the audience can’t see them under your costume, no one needs to know. – Please do not wear any jewelry that doesn’t go with the costume. Neat nail polish as part of your hip hop style / finale costume is fine, but no nail polish in matching­costumed classes. – Please plan meals accordingly. Pack a water bottle and small snacks. Please have a wrap or cover up available because it’s never a good idea to eat in costume. REHEARSAL – Only one parent or guardian per dancer at the Rehearsal please. – Videotaping and Flash Photography are not allowed. Non­flash photos at Rehearsal are fine! We want dancers to get to rehearse without the pressure of being videotaped. – Hair & Makeup should be done at the Dress Rehearsal. We would like to see if a dancer needs more or less of anything.

It is true that there are many cosmetic products that have catchphrases or selling points claiming 100% pure natural ingredients; however, it is impossible to make cosmetics without natural products, regardless of such catchphrases. Hence, as regards natural products, no one is in doubt about the notion that they are something that cannot be done away with in cosmetics. The role of natural products in medicines is as one of the sources of lead compounds in the research and development of modern medicines, but in cosmetics natural products themselves are combined as ingredients, although there may be similar cases in medical research process too. In general the categories of cosmetics are limited only by people’s imagination.

  • COSMETICS in USE: a PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEW Abdul Kader Mohiuddin, Department of Pharmacy, World University of Bangladesh KEYWORD
    European Journal of Biology and Medical Science Research Vol.7, No.4, pp.22-64, October 2019 Published by ECRTD- UK Print ISSN: ISSN 2053-406X, Online ISSN: ISSN 2053-4078 COSMETICS IN USE: A PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEW Abdul Kader Mohiuddin, Department of Pharmacy, World University of Bangladesh 151/8, Green Road, Dhanmondi, Dhaka – 1205, Bangladesh Orcid Id: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1596-9757 Web of Science Researcher ID: T-5428-2019 ABSTRACT: The word “cosmetics” actually stems from its use in Ancient Rome. They were typically produced by female slaves known as “cosmetae,” which is where the word “cosmetics” stemmed from. Cosmetics are used to enhance appearance. Makeup has been around for many centuries. The first known people who used cosmetics to enhance their beauty were the Egyptians. Makeup those days was just simple eye coloring or some material for the body. Now-a-days makeup plays an important role for both men and women. In evolutionary psychology, social competition of appearance strengthens women’s desires for ideal beauty. According to “The Origin of Species”, humans have evolved to transfer genes to future generations through sexual selection that regards the body condition of ideal beauty as excellent fertility. Additionally, since women’s beauty has recently been considered a competitive advantage to create social power, a body that meets the social standards of a culture could achieve limited social resources. That's right, even men have become more beauty conscious and are concerned about their looks. Cosmetics can be produced in the organic and hypoallergenic form to meet the demands of users.
