7 MAKEUP HACKS AND TRICKS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

Hello, ladies! We bring to you 7 makeup hacks and tricks that you really need to know. The hacks will save you time and money. Leggo!

 

For Fuller lashes:

Dust some transculent powder on your lashes between coats. It will make your lashes fuller.

 

Remoisturize your mascara

Don’t throw away your dried up mascara. Instead, add a few drops of saline solution to it. It will make it moist. If you don’t have saline solution, pour few drops of hot water.

 

How to avoid lipstick smudge on your teeth

After applying lipstick on your lips, put your finger in your mouth, close your lips around your finger and then pull it out. The excess lipstick will get on your finger, and not on your teeth.

 

Make your own lipgloss

Don’t throw away your broken eye shadows. Crush the eye shadow into powder, then mix with petroleum jelly to make your own lip gloss.

How to make your lipstick last longer

Put on a coat of lipstick, then lay a tissue across your lips. Dust transculent powder on, to make the color set so it stays on longer.

 

How to make your eyes appear bigger

Sweep your mascara towards your nose, instead of upward. It will make the lashes look fuller and makes your eyes look bigger.

 

Use a spoon to achieve a perfect winged eyeliner

Press the rounded side of the spoon against your eyelids, and move the spoon outwards to create the winged effect as you draw.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 55 YEARS, A FEMALE SCIENTIST WINS THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR PHYSICS

The Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to a woman for the first time in 55 years, just a day after a scientist at Cern was suspended for claiming the discipline was ‘built by men.’

Prof Donna Strickland was one of three who will share the prize, the first female to achieve the accolade since Maria Goeppert-Mayer in 1963 and only the third woman in history. The first being Marie Curie.

“We need to celebrate women physicists because we’re out there, and hopefully in time it’ll start to move forward at a faster rate,” she said on a phone call to the press conference.

“I’m honoured to be one of those women.”

The announcement that a woman had been awarded the prize for physics comes just a day after Italian scientist Professor Alessandro Strumia was suspended by Cern  for saying that “physics was invented and built by men” in a talk.

Commenting on the announcement, Jim Al-Khalili, the president of the British Science Association, said: “It is quite shocking to know that she is only the third woman to win a Physics Nobel, ever.

“It is also quite delicious that this comes just a few days after certain controversial and misogynistic comments made at a conference at CERN about women in physics.”

Prof Strickland was honored alongside Dr Gerard Mourou of France, for their work in creating the shortest and most intense laser pulses ever created by mankind, which are now used in laser eye surgery to restore vision for millions of people.

The prize was also awarded to Arthur Ashkin, 96, for his invention of “optical tweezers” that grab particles, atoms, viruses and other living cells with their laser beam fingers.

Spending time away from New York helped her handle this challenge. In Miami she recorded ‘Coco Chanel’ and ‘Good Form’ both captured in her August album “Queen”.

CIARA TALKS ABOUT HOW DESTINY’S CHILD INSPIRED HER TO BE AN ENTERTAINER

32-year-old singer, Ciara, is the Cover Girl of the November issue of Cosmopolitan. She talks about life after welcoming her daughter, including how she got her famous abs back! She also opens up about her biggest inspiration to do music, how she manages trolls, and her ambition.

On Fitness routine after welcoming daughter, Sienna in 2017

It was kind of like, wake up in the morning, breastfeed, eat a small meal, go train, come back in, breastfeed, eat another meal, go train, then come back, have another meal, and then a third training session at night. It was a good challenge, one I set for myself, not for anyone else. Taking care of myself makes me feel really good. And I want to keep it sexy too, you know.

On Destiny’s Child being her Biggest Inspiration to do Music

They were killing it, and I just went, ‘This is what I want to do. I’m gonna be an entertainer…’ The first goal I wrote down was to get discovered. The second was to sell 3 to 4 million records. Third, have longevity.”

On how she deals with trolls

When someone comes for you and you didn’t send for them, you keep your eye on the prize. I know what my mission is. I know what I’m hoping for and working hard for every day. And that’s my focus. I’m not going to let people steal my joy. I move on. New day, new opportunity, new energy, let’s go.”

On her ambition

I never thought, I can’t be because of the color of my skin, I can’t be because of my gender. No dream is too big. I want to be a billionaire. The more resources, the more you can do. But I think my greatest accomplishment 10 years from now is that I would have a successful life as it pertains to my marriage and being a mom. It’s cool to want to do all these creative things, but it’s no good to gain the world if you lose your soul
