Touches of Luv

Author: wajid

Before starting my article I will like to say a few words about health.

“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.”
“He, who has health, has hope. And he, who has hope, has everything.”
“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”

Lets start this by defining beauty-Well, I think it’s something that is pleasing to eyes. What about a beautiful thought? Well then beauty has to be pleasing to mind and what about beautiful music? So lets just extend it and say-beautiful to our ears. Wait didn’t we leave a few things behind? like for instance beautiful smell, and beautiful texture? and a beautiful poem or literature or work of art? Wow So beauty may involve a perception of pleasure to all our senses….Yes indeed I think that’s what it is..

What about an individual with a beautiful/ pleasing personality? Well we use the terms graceful and charming for them, For example- Mother Teressa, do you think she was beautiful? Yes, indeed she was.She spread so much beauty with her kindness..so beauty is beyond our superficial senses of perception i.e, It is more than just skin deep…or Is it that beauty of mind and beauty of body are two different qualities and you may have either one of them and a lucky few may have both.

Yet majority of us spend so much time for the superficial beauty and appearance. Yes, we are compelled to do that to succeed, to be admired, to be loved, to have more friends, may be a few fans as well…May be it’s the society that has set a standard for appearances so much and judges you by those standards. What happens in the process? Well there is the possibility of so many beautiful people getting ignored and lost into obscurity… not to mention some who succeed only because; they have spent much effort on their outward appearances. They may not be so kind, may not have intelligent thoughts, yet they look beautiful enough to succeed. Is that so? Doesn’t that mean that in this process of judging occasionally real talent may get ignored while untalented few may get picked because they please the eyes of the beholder? Yes, this may happen quite often…But not all the time…

I can name a number of individuals who have been successful by their talent and intellect rather than by superficial beauty alone. But these were/are exceptionally intelligent and talented individuals, for example Picasso, Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. King, Nelson Mandela, Steven Hawkins, Steve Wonder and many more…How do they do it? I mean become immortal by their talent? Were they not prejudged like rest of us and continue to face it? Yes they too overcame the same odds and maybe many more..Yet they did it and continue to do so. How? I guess their success lies in the fact that they do not care about being prejudged or set standards of their time. They chose to rise above those standards and enjoy doing what they believed in, are compassionate and focused.

What does compassion and focus have to do with beauty? I think “compassion” allows us to rise above our personal interests, think big, be more tolerant and “focus” allows us to create that beautiful work of art or social change that is beautiful to our senses and for people’s lives whatever the “cause” may be case may be…

Wow! wait a minute I thought you were going to talk about real beauty, when I started reading this…I mean real beauty..pleasing to eyes or skin deep, superficial whatever you call it, see I want to look beautiful and succeed, I don’t care about “causes” and stuff, its all so boring and I don’t need any lectures…I need real beauty tips…

I see where you are coming from…You are one of the majority and need some tips to look beautiful and succeed. Well even then, you will have to put in some efforts into that…I know many of you will happily do so…How about exercising? That requires a lot of effort and many do it, to stay healthy and happy.. Well, see you are again deviating from the main topic, what has healthy and happy got to do with beauty? A lot indeed, good health allows excellent body circulation, that keeps the skin well nourished and glowing, not to mention doing away with that flabby tummy..being happy is all it’s about, If you are happy you look beautiful with that lovely smile on your glowing face.. . Not to mention other ways of being happy..like using your brain to develop a talent and succeed, but well I agree you may get prejudged and success may require more efforts than just talent and developing a beautiful personality may be one of those..How about a positive attitude? or Is it just the “looks” that are needed to be out there and be admired or achieve what you want. Well, you see all these are relative terms, one leading to another..

I noticed you mentioned well nourished…How is that related to beauty? A lot indeed eat a balanced diet with generous helpings of fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid fatty and sugary stuff, go for long walks…avoid stress, think big, don’t let petty issues bother you too much and stay happy and beautiful.

What about all the accessories, make up and apparel that make us real good? What about those lovely shiny white teeth that make us look good? and what about the botox and beauty enhancing cosmetic surgery/Plastic surgery to look good?

Well I am all for white shiny teeth, You can have that lovely smile with good dental hygiene… and may be an occasional visit to your dentist, i.e., if you can afford that…All of us do not have dental insurance but still can have beautiful healthy white teeth by practicing regular dental hygiene. I am not in favor of Plastic surgery, but that’s my personal opinion, if you have the money, don’t believe in any “cause” that you could donate that money for and are really desperate to attain that physical attribute…go for it, after all so many plastic surgeons need to make a living, pay off those educational loans and get rich. What about the side effects? Does plastic surgery and liposuction have side effects? Of course they do, but many people risk it because they want to look good and be acceptable in the society and if possible successful.

Wait a minute, it seems you are done with all the tips that you had to offer to enhance my beauty. What about my make up? my hair? my clothes? my shoes? I notice you haven’t given a single tip about all those things that will make me look really beautiful and fashionable…

Well, as I said beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and if you want to be fashionable and that is your standard of beauty, Please consult a fashion expert…So you are not a fashion expert? No my friend I am a simple human being learning to speak my mind….and I must admit, I enjoyed the process of putting my thoughts into words… Hope you too had fun reading it.

Eye Makeup – The first way to start looking your best! Everyone knows how important it is for women to look good, and eye makeup is one way to start looking your best. It is important to know how to apply it, like eyeliner, mascara eye makeup and eye shadow. The eye makeup color is just as important as the makeup itself. A lot of woman struggle when trying to apply makeup.

That is why eye makeup tips are offered in a variety of magazines. Finding the perfect eye makeup techniques may be a difficult task but don’t worry, there is a style for everyone!

For removing eye shadow, use special eye make up remover, and apply it delicately with circular moves.

The excess of make up remover must be cleaned with a cotton disk – starting from the inside corner towards the outside corner, without applying any pressure on it.

Mascara also removes with a cotton disk and a bit of make up remover. Just close your eyes and wipe your lids starting up.

With make up remover you can also clean the inferior margin and the inside corner

Pre-moistened makeup remover pads keep things simple for you. They’re packaged in small jars and require absolutely no work on your part. Simply slide the pad over your eye. In a swipe or two, everything should be gone.

Cleaning milks are ideal for individuals with dry, sensitive skin. Milk-based eye makeup removers can be thick and creamy or thin and liquid-like. Choose the one that feels most soothing and removes makeup most effectively.

An eye makeup remover gel is usually thick, cool and comforting (though perhaps less so than milks). Oily-skinned individuals love gels in all forms; they’re great for removing makeup and soothing a slick face.

The pads or wipes is an eye makeup remover that is best from normal to dry skin. It is because these eye makeup removers are very neat and portable, which is perfect for traveling or if you are in a hurry.

Another type of eye makeup remover that you can use is the cream, which is best for sensitive and/or dry skin since it is normally strong enough in removing lipstick and foundation aside from the eye makeup. This type of makeup remover is even a great-time saver that leaves your skin moisturized and soft.

Cleansing water is a type of eye makeup remover that is best for oily or acne-prone skin. It is also a water-based eye makeup remover that is safe and perfect for those who prefer light products. However this type of eye makeup remover does not remove waterproof liquid eyeliner or mascara. It has the blending of cucumber to other plant-based emollients.

Always remove eye makeup thoroughly before going to bed. This will keep lashes healthier and prevent any mascara from getting into your eyes during the night. There are many readymade eye make up removers available in the market for this purpose. They come in several forms ranging from eye lotions to eye pads. While removing the mascara, avoid the color from going onto the delicate area below the bottom lashes. Roll a cotton bud dipped in a cosmetic cleanser over the lashes, taking the mascara down onto the tissue. Repeat till all the mascara is gone. Warm olive oil serves the purpose of removing the eye make up as well as conditioning the lashes. Other popular alternatives for removal of eye make up are baby shampoo, Vaseline and witch hazel.
