This time around the topic of choice is make-up or rather the perfect base for your make up.  The key to have your make-up look professional and perfect is to get the base right. Getting the base wrong could ruin any make-up you put on. However you could get the base right. These three easy steps will show you how:

Step I- The first thing to do is to moisturize well because all bases apply well to well hydrated skin. Remember that it is extremely important to remove all the excess moisture because if you apply foundation to greasy skin, the foundation is bound to run.

Step 2- The second thing to do is to apply the foundation. The worst mistake you can make is to apply huge swathes of foundation. It should be applied in a few dots around the face and then blended together with fingers or a sponge meant for this purpose. Make sure it is well blended around the jaw and the hairline because any spaces tend to easily noticeable here. Also find the exact shade which suits your complexion because otherwise you will tend to look too made up.

Step 3- Applying concealer is the final step in applying the base for make up.  Use the concealer to cover any shadows or lines that happen to be showing through the foundation. You may need to use a darker concealer if you have a tan.

Apply the concealer in the same manner as the foundation. Smear a few dots and apply it all over the face in a gentle back and forth motion. Avoid pulling or rubbing the skin, especially in areas where it is sensitive.

If you have the perfect base on your make-up is sure to look fabulous. Only thing as always, don’t go overboard.

Some love em, most hate em, but you certainly can’t ignore them. Crocs are the most popular footwear in a long time and I honestly can find any explanation for that. The clogs which are made of resin and available in hundreds of colors were first manufactured around 5 years ago and have caused quite a bit of a sensation in the fashion world.

Available in more than one variant, these shoes start at $ 30 a pair and have received quite a shower of compliments.  They are made from a kind of proprietary resin that softens with heat and allows the shoe to mold itself to the wearer’s feet, making the shoe extremely comfortable.

These shoes were originally intended for boatmen and people working at ports and piers because of their slip-resistant soles but soon began being a favorite among people who stay on the feet a lot. The shoes have holes all around and also near the soles and thus are well ventilated and odor resistant.

Available in the regular style and also in Alice, Beach, Caymen, Spring, Hot Wedge and Athens styles, it looks like Crocs are here to stay. The shoes are available in a variety of colors and styles for men, women and children.  They allow air to pass which makes wearing comfortable and are also fungus and bacteria resistant. The shoes are also very easy to clean and perfect for anything that involves working in messy conditions.

The shoe has also been the recipient of countless ugliest shoe awards, but that only seems to be adding to the shoe’s ever growing popularity. Even celebrities like Jack Nicholson, Mario Batali, Faith Hill and Terri Hatcher have been spotted wearing them, which only ups the shoe’s fashion quotient many notches. The shoes have now reached various corners of the world and are showing no signs of slowing down.

Fashion is a phrase and an idea that predominantly applies to an existing channel of expression, but equally often applies to a personal mode of expression that may or may not apply to every individual. The basic underlying idea is that the mode of this expression will vary and change faster than the culture itself.

Hence, the terms “fashionable” and “unfashionable” are used to describe whether someone or something fits in with this obsessively popular mode of expressing oneself. The word “fashion” is frequently used in a positive sense, very often as a synonym for positive adjectives like glamour, beauty and style. And in that sense, fashion has been recognized as a sort of communal art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness.

On the other hand, the term “fashion” is also seen to be used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads, trends, and materialism.

The current global fashion centers are London, Milan, Paris and New York, but other cities like Rome and Tokyo are also becoming well known.

The tendency of human beings to continually change the style of their clothing, which is now a worldwide phenomenon, at least among urban populations, is by origin, distinctively Western one. Not that there weren’t signs from more historical origins. In the 8th century Cordoba (Spain), Ziryab, a famous musician and stylist hailing from Baghdad, introduced the first trend of fashion in Europe.

Not only that, Ziryab went on to develop a sophisticated clothing fashion based on seasonal and daily timings. For instance, in winter, costumes were made essentially from warm cotton or wool items usually in dark colours and summer garments were made of cool and light costumes involving materials such as cotton, silk and flax in light and bright colours. These became an instant hit with the local gentry. Brilliant colours for these clothes were produced in tanneries and dye works which the Muslim world perfected its production, for example, in 12th century Fez, there were more than 86 tanneries and 116 dye works.
