Hair Highlights - Highlight your Hairstyle with Beautiful Colors!
Almost all of us are always on the look out for that ‘elixir of youth’, that extra something that would give us eternal youthful appearance. Fortunately for all of us, hair highlights are here. Hair color highlights can help you get a totally new, and more importantly, younger look. Remember hair highlighting can be quite a technical job unlike simple hair coloring jobs and are best done in a salon. Techniques such as foil highlights and hair painting are time consuming and therefore hairstyle highlight is something that is best done by a professional. You can also take a photo of someone whose hair color highlights you admire, when you visit the salon. In fact, going through such photos would help you form an ‘idea’ about what exactly will suit you. There are a few simple tips though that can help you choose the right hair color. It is always preferable that olive toned people go in for darker colors while red shades would look great on those who are pink-toned. For those of you who are yellow toned, orange and yellow based colors are a strict no-no, while other colors are fine.
Successful hair color highlights are done in three ways. One of the techniques involves applying bleach to the strands of hair and then actually wrapping them up in foil. This technique known as ‘foiling‘ and gives good results, since it is done very close to the hair roots. The next technique is hair painting. It can be done both at the salon and at home. You just pick up a brush and apply bleach on to the hair in this method. The third method is quite tedious. In this method you place a plastic cap with a number of small holes on the head. You then pull strands of hair through these holes and then bleach them with the colors of your choice.

How to Keep Your Summer Eye Makeup Fresh
If streaking liner and creasing eye shadow have you ready to wipe your eye makeup off by lunch, modify your regimen. Prevention is your best defense in keeping eye makeup fresh during the hot and humid summer months. When your new regimen still can’t beat the heat, a few simple touch-ups will keep your eyes free of streaks.
Switch to products that can handle the heat. Look for long-wearing or waterproof mascara, choose eye pencils over liquid liners, and switch to shadows that harden to a cream once applied.
Go light. Line the upper lash line, or settle for a sweep of a light shadow. Shadow from lash line to brow is more likely to cake or crease in the heat, and darker colors will be more apparent if they bleed.
Skip eyeliner and mascara on the lower lashes. It’s likely to streak in the sweaty under-eye area.
Set eye makeup with a light dusting of loose powder. This will help absorb any moisture that may cause eye makeup to melt.
Use a non-powdered blotting paper to remove any under-eye perspiration when you do notice streaking. Wipe away any eye makeup with a clean cotton swab.
Reapply faded makeup sparingly.
