Very retro and certain to make a statement as this look has great impact!
You're a gal who has confidence in her style and you want to be ?in? with this seasons ?cat eyes.? How do you accomplish this futuristic feline look at home?
First make sure you have a black eyeliner pencil in your make up repertoire . Maybelline Cool Effect is an eyeliner eye shadow combination, Cover Girl has there eyeslicks gel eyecolors, and Estee Lauder has the Softsmudge Black. There are plenty of other good ones on the market.
Apply foundation, make sure it's flawlessly applied and then highlight temples and cheekbones ever so slightly. Add light lip color ? remember your eyes are the focus.
Cover under the eye with concealer. This will prevent smudging.
Define your eyes with a light shadow covering the entire lid, blend softly up to the brow bone ? soft grey, cream, beige, off white, taupe, soft pink, soft lavender all work great.
Work a deep dark shade into the contour to define, then blend along the crease
Next apply a your black eyeliner nice and thick along the lash line. Draw the bottom line thick and up towards the ear.
To open the eye up you can line inside the lash line with a white pencil Or for every day wear draw thin lines using a soft gray shadow or pencil
Add mascara and if you wish a touch of sparkle and your done. Pretty simple!
It is very important to start with a clean slate. Use a gentle cleanser with a light exfoliant. It is important to make sure that it is hypoallergenic. Your face is a very sensitive area and it won't take much to irritate it and make things worse. Whether you are in the shower or standing at the sink, gently apply a small amount, about the size of a pea, onto your face and softly rub onto face in an upwards motion, your forehead and left-right motion. Someday there will be a point when we are all worried about getting wrinkles and bags, and by always touching our face in an upwards motion it will help delay the aging process on our faces. We shouldn't help the aging process along at all, even if our faces are fresh and wrinkle-free now. Gently rinse the cleanser off and pat your face dry with a soft warm towel.
Soft as a baby butt! A good moisturizer is key. Your face will feel very itchy and flakey if you don't keep it moist. I like, again, Velocity facial moisturizer. It is lightweight and doesn't leave your face feeling greasy. Plus it helps absorb oil throughout the day. Apply a small amount, maybe a little more than the size of a pea, and gently massage it into your face. Make sure you are still using the upwards motion we talked about in step 1. Massage into face until all excess moisturizer in absorbed into your skin. Now doesn't that feel good??
Build a strong foundation. Some people do not like to use foundation and that is ok. But foundation is a great way to help protect your face from all those hazardous things you literally "face" everyday. The sun, wind, rain--anything can cause your face to get irritated. A good foundation will help protect your face from whatever is out there. Try a foundation with a light sunscreen in it. The extra protection will make a big difference. Make sure that you do not get a color that is too light or too dark for your face or it will look too painted on. It is important for it to look natural. If you really want a nice warm look on your face, a darker foundation is not the answer. Try some bronzer, which will be mentioned later. The general rule of thumb is to try to match your foundation with the color of your neck. This will assure that it is the most natural color you could wear. Blend the foundation into your face and make sure that is it all absorbed before you move onto the next step. A triangle sponge is very helpful to blend the foundation the best.
Conceal those blemishes. Chances are, like most of us out there, you might have some imperfections on your face. Try a slightly lighter that your foundation shade of concealer. You have the option of applying your concealer before, or after, your foundation, but it seemed to make the most sense to put things in this order. Apply a very small amount of concealer on the tip of your ring finger and lightly dab it on the desired areas of your face. Typical concealer is placed on the under-eyes and on any pimples that might be visible at the time. Dab on the concealer and allow it to dry for a few seconds and start to carefully blend it into your skin to make it look as natural as possible. If needed apply some more foundation to help it blend even more. Let concealer fully absorb before moving onto the next step.
Loosen up with powder. Get your hands on nice large powder brush. After putting on your foundation and concealer, use either a loose or pressed powder to help set the make-up on your face. Lightly dab your brush into your powder and get a small to moderate amount onto the end of your brush. If using a loose powder, lightly tap the end of your brush on the counter to cause the powder to drop into the bristles a little so that it doesn't just fall onto the first part of your face that you touch. Lightly stroke your face with your brush in downward strokes until your entire face has been brushed and you have achieved a nice matte look on your face. This is the only time we would ever use a downwards motion on your face. Unfortunately all of us have small amount of "peach fuzz" on our faces and by brushed our faces downwards it helps to lay those little hairs down and make them less noticeable. Make sure that your powder is applied evenly and move onto the next step.
You want your make-up to last all day, right? I thought so. To make it last, I suggest using an eye shadow primer before applying any eye makeup. Try Urban Decay's Primer Potion. Apply it everywhere you apply eye makeup. Then that ever-elusive eye shadow and liner will stay put for you. Sounds nice, doesn't it? Now its time to line those gorgeous gems of yours. Eyeliner is good to start with so you don't mess with your mascara. Some of you don't like eyeliner, so you can just skip this step. Anyways, first you have to decide which eyeliner formula to use: liquid, or pencil. Both have their advantages. Liquids are usually more long lasting as they don't smudge, and provide you with a clearer, definite line. The fact that you have to "paint" it on and wait for it to dry can make it tricky though. Area Lighting 360lighting suppliers Pencils give a smokier, sultry quality and can be applied more easily and with more precision. However, they have tendency to smudge. Starting at the inner corner of your eye, slowly apply a thin streak along your lash line. If you are using liquid, fan it dry, then open up and see how you like it. Too thin? Try it again, this time a little thicker. Too thick? Dab a q-tip with water or eye-makeup remover, and swipe away from the thickness until you're satisfied with the result. It's also a good idea to make your eyeliner thicker toward the outer corners of your eyes to make them look larger. If you would like, repeat the process on the bottom lash line, or just above it at the inner rim of your eye (this can be tricky for beginners.)
Open your eyes to the wonders of eye shadow! Yes, this sounds cheesy, but with practice eye shadow really is amazing. There are so many effects to choose from when using eye shadow. But basics are still good, so here goes. First decide what color family you want your eye shadow to be. Pink and blue are popular as well as neutrals like brown, peach, and cream. From these color group, pick one color as dark as your skin tone (think basic pink), one darker or brighter than your skin tone (think darker mauve or hot pink), and one much lighter than your skin tone (think pale pink). Using an eye shadow sponge apply the darker or brighter shadow along the crease (basically, the dip between lid and brow bone), applying more heavily toward the outer half. Then with the medium shade and an eye shadow brush, dust the lid and smudge the edges of the darker color until things look even. Then wipe the brush off on a towel or piece of toilet paper, and sweep it through the lightest shade. Then sweep the brush along your brow bone to taste. Tweak your shadow as much as you want using our other tips sections.
Bat those lashes, girls! Time to put the finishing touch on your eyes: mascara. Its less versatile but can be the most beautifying of your eye makeup. Start out by, if you wish, curling your eyelashes wish a metal lash curler. Place at the base of your lashes and squeeze gently. Then take your mascara wand, dab the tip off on a towel, and place the brush at the base of your eyelashes, under your lashes. Wiggle the as you push it up through your lashes. Repeat as necessary, focusing on the tips after the first stroke. Coat your bottom lashes as much as you want, but they are less important.
The apple of my... cheek? This is the easiest of all the steps. Get your blush, and with a nice, mid-sized blush brush, lightly brush your cheeks in an upwards motion. Starting at the apple of you cheek, right below the middle of your eye (in most cases), brush outward toward your hairline lifting the brush away from your face as you go. Doing this will focus colored where you first applied it and will blend it outwards to create the desired effect. Use a triangle sponge to blend even more if desired.
Luscious Lips! There are many options when it comes to your lips. Lipstick or lip gloss? Matte lipstick or metallic? Shimmer gloss or shiny? In the end, the only thing that matters is what you like. If you do want to use a liner, I would suggest going with a natural or neutral shade. You can change things up a bit with different colored lipstick or gloss--depending on your mood. If you want something a little more daring, try a liner a shade or 2 darker than your actual lip color. Take the liner in your hand and hold it like you would a normal pencil. With light strokes, "draw" an outline of your lips starting at the top in the center of your lips and working outwards and down. If needed, lightly stroke the liner on the inside area of your lips to help blend the color so you don't have such a definite line. If you don't want lipstick then skip this step. Take your lipstick and, again, start in the middle on your top lip and work your way out and down. Rub back and forth until you get the desired amount on your lips and then smack your lips together to ensure uniformity. Top it all off with a nice lightly colored lip gloss. Apply like you would the lipstick blending as you go. Smack your lips together again and check your teeth to make sure you don't have any smudges.
I was born on March 13, 1985. It was the Week of The Dancers & Dreamers, Pisces III, Density of Innocence, and Chinese Zodiac year of the Ox. All I can say to this is "Philosophical, Miracle Working & Helpful," and this is what I've come to be - but before this came to be, a darker side had to come through to align me with the true aspects of these signs. However, I am more of my higher nature today then I've ever been before, but my darker side will be mentioned later.
I grew up an only child and in no way can I say that my up bringing was bad. I did more to myself to make my own youth difficult than my parents did, but the older I grew into myself, the more I realized that the choices I made in my past we're made with a purpose. It was all so that I could better understand others and what situations they are going through now and not judge them for what they think or what they do, only to better guide them when brought to the attraction.
When I first started school, I was quickly bored with most of the classes and I was of course labeled a "Riddlin Child." Lucky for me, my parents disagreed with the school and denied them the right to medicate me - in which I was certainly blessed! Later I would find out that our schools were given bonuses of $500 a month for each student who took Ritalin. I was instead shoved in to Special Education classes, but again, another blessing took place that I was not aware of until several years ago. While I was being placed into the Special Education classes the general use of the Phonics Reading Program was being replaced with the Look-C method, which really made it more difficult for "ordinary" children to learn how to read and it created less desire to learn!
But since I was in these alternative classes, they still taught the Phonics program, and it was there I took reading and writing classes for 8-9 years! This allowed me to pick-up things others we're usually not aware of, which this led me to books about meditation, Paganism, Wicca, etc. So after, when I was in 7th or 8th grade, I had the advantage of attracting several Pagan and Wiccan practitioners who mentored me in guided meditation, telekinesis, out-of-body experiences, remote viewing and clairvoyance, as well as a lot of general information about whatever their religious path they took was. This would later drive me to learn about herbs, healing, nutrition & Alchemy.
Soon I started to see the absolute power of these herbs and I started to buy them when I had spare change. I created a cabinet of herbs that I would later use more prominently through my practice of healing as I learned more about them. My early years of High School was when my peak of Wicca and Pagan teachings came to an end. I had befriended a kid who I was not too fond of in my middle school days. He was also interested in magical workings and soon he came across a site called The Joy of Satan (JoS). The JoS was a traditional Satanism website that had mostly taught the histories of the Annunaki and the ancient knowledge of the ones that came before us.
This exposed me to authors like Zacharia Sitchen (The 12th Planet) and Erich Von Dankein (Chariots of the Gods). The 12th Planet was a classic reference for the JoS website and I found it so riveting I couldn't put it down. I soon went through Sitchen's entire chronicle-set and wanted more. While this was taking place I was also very active inside the JoS E-group. Since this site was based upon sacred meditations and psychic abilities I was already somewhat adept from 3-4 years of practical experience in the arts. I was able to answer people's questions on any subject that came up, and this caught the attention of the High Priestess of this organization.
Soon I started to communicate with the JoS Clergy on a daily basis, answering questions and running the forums on my own time. I was then offered a chance to join their Clergy as a Reverend of Satan at the age of 17 or so. I accepted and was ordained through "Spiritual Humanism". For 4-5 years I was a part of this organization and I learned more and more about ancient civilizations - ancient Sumer to ancient Egypt and beyond. During this I had also constructed a sister website to the JoS and had made a name for myself as Rev. Darkfang. I was known by my website EnkisLibary, which later changed to SatansLibrary.net.
I was exposed to several magnificent meditation and Chakra opening exercises that happened to work very well for me until I came to their version of the MerKaBa. They JoS had manipulated this practice into their own works, and I quickly started to notice large energy blocks inside certain energy meridians of my body. I let them know about this and none of them said they had this problem, so I soon wrote it off. Later I found out that a friend that I had attracted through the JoS also had problems with this technique and he was into heavy meditation, too. My trust in the JoS was getting shaky when they started to use mass rituals to kill certain "religious pushers". They had 2000 to 3000 members in the organization from around the world (aged from 15 to 35 years of age) doing rituals against these people. Specific rituals coordinated at the same time from time zone to time zone around the world were done on holidays such as Walpurgisnacht Night. On one such occasion I had a voice telling me to not participate and it was really hard for me to set up my ritual that night - the voice kept telling me not to join in, but I did.
Soon after these worldwide rituals I logged into the E-group to see how everyone else was doing. Yahoo news postings we're flooding in about churches burning down by "random" people who were upset at life. Other "random acts of god" were reported, too. A month or two later, two specific individuals that were also targeted were dead. One died in an auto accident and the other from health complications. I was swept with much hatred around a year later, which I will discuss here soon.
Not too long after all this I was expelled from High School and so went to a Technical school to learn computer programming. I met up with who is now a very good friend. He seemed to be the only one that would commune with me at this school, for he was absolutely fascinated with the knowledge that I had, knowledge that he started to research himself.
He soon became a co-author with me at Satanslibrary.net and I soon had full control over the JoS's main E-group. I was a trusted member of their Clergy but I was very upset how they controlled and censored their information - they would not let outside voices into the group, even those with legitimate worthwhile information. This was the soul reason why I created Satanslibrary.net - to gather good information from all over the place, Rechargeable led floodlight from every sect of Satanism and beyond. I went past the boundaries of Christianity to Buddhism, and on into new sciences and health. One day I did a post that expressed a genuine concern to a High Priest of the JoS, and this got me quickly cut-off from the forums. I presented my case and the majority of the Clergy defeated me, but I was still a member of this Clergy. The group was changing, and soon they started to slip NSS (Nazi) material into their Dogma and THAT WAS something I had a problem with. After this began, I was gathering classified posts and information from their website so I could blow open this true agenda and present it to the public. I actually ended up going against them and revealing the truth about their organization. It turned out the High Priestess I mentioned before was actually married to the chairman at the time of the Oklahoma NSS board.
Soon after this, the NSS board got a hold of this information from my website (and from another clergy member that exposed them) and they removed this man from the NSS board of directors. What I learned of this organization showed me that they were exploiting the younger member's advanced meditation skills and expert visualization skills for their own agenda, while totally cutting-off these member's connections to higher aspects of their minds, and limiting their use of reason through dark magic. You can better say that this organization is the Darkside's Jedi temple. Although I was always the one that promoted a more peaceful experience through their organization, I was still dredging in black water. The backfire of what I did haunted me for several years because of Karmic balancing - because of my participation in it. But all in all, during my time with the JoS, I had become a vegetarian and was becoming experienced at yoga.
Within a year or two of my exposing the JoS, I had the anger-bug bite me and I was out of control for a year before taking my gaze and forcing it back to yoga and meditation. I was able neutralized this unbalance, but discovered what REAL hatred felt like - I had come back and I saw all life as so very sacred and precious. I also realized that I hadn't known this type of sacred feeling towards life before all this had taken place.
I soon ran into the Magical Egypt series by John Anthony West and I watched through the whole of the series until I came to the last episode. My heart sank when I saw the symbol that the Dogon used for String Theory. I had seen this exact symbol a year before in a dream I had while visiting at my ex-girlfriend's grandmother's home in Bear Valley California. During this visit I had several other dreams of UFO activity & Stargate-like portals. I believe this time somehow set me on a path for this new energy, and this energy has never left me.
Since this point in my life I have dedicated my soul and being to helping humanity grow spiritually through health & well being. I have created an organization called "Health & Economics of America" where I have helped many hands-full of people cure many things from migraine headaches to weight issues and cancer. I now constantly research new ways to cure and heal, and to help people gain wealth and happiness. This has added to my unending love and appreciation that I now have for life and for all those that walk through it.
I have taken side with the light, and see those on the other side not as enemies that need to be squashed, only because I was one of them. I know what really resides in their hearts and I shall not judge the path that others take because of what I have learned from my own experiences. Deep, deep appreciation comes from within me and that is why I do what I do now. I realize that my path is set to learn these lessons through myself, and rise above them. This is so that when I teach other people to truly become free from anything that mis-aligns them, it is by my experiences that I can truly say I was there, and that they should have no fear. Anything is possible if you believe you can have what you want, and this is where my current spiritual path comes from.

Leather is commonly viewed as a manly accessory, used mostly for decorating a man-cave or a room that will be themed for guys. However, leather is a very refined and sophisticated fabric, and can also be used in any room that you want to decorate in a stylish and comfortable fashion without losing any beauty. Decorating with leather and keeping it light is the key to utilizing leather in any room, without feeling overwhelmed in masculinity or the darkness of the fabric.
While there are dozens of ways that you can keep the leather without losing the charm, here are just a few simple tips that can really help you get the look you want. You can pick one and stick with it or combine more than one to create a one-of-a-kind look in your home.
Idea removable battery floodlight Manufacturers1: Use light-colored leather to soften the look without losing leather's other charms and appeals. Most retailers offer a variety of leather colors, from the classic, rich mahogany that we love to deep blacks. Lighter colors, like caramels or traditional white, are becoming more popular as homeowners realize that they can have the comfort and refinement of leather without making the room feel oppressive.
Idea #2: Decorate with leather accents, but do not choose leather furniture. You can cover throw pillows in leather, use a leather door insert, or add leather accessories to bring in the beauty of leather without weighing the room down. Keep it light by adding touches of leather here and there, and make sure that the colors and shades work well together without all being exactly the same for a rich and multilayered effect.
Idea #3: Work the room around one leather focal point, such as a great leather couch. Decorate the room with neutral paint and lots of white accessories # or natural lighting, and add the leather couch as a focal point in the room. Attention is directed toward the fabulous couch, no matter how dark the fabric is, without making the room feel like it is entirely covered in leather.
Idea #4: Mirrors lighten up a room if you already have a lot of leather. Not everyone wants neutral walls or white accessories. Mirrors in various shapes and sizes make beautiful accessories and help maximize the natural lighting's potential in a particular room. This is very helpful if the room has minimal natural lighting or if the decor and color motif is deep and dark.
Idea #5: Contrasts are a perfect way to keep it light and still accomplish your dream of decorating with leather. Stark contrasts are an ultra-modern and contemporary décor option, and it is a great way to direct attention away from the amount or color of the leather in the room. Black and white are an excellent example, but you can use just about any great color contrast to achieve this goal. To break up the monochromatic feel of black and white, add accessories in various colors, from reds to greens and even purples, to keep things light.
Important People In The Life Of A Light Bulb
Sir Humphrey Davy is the first person to create artificial light. While conducting experiments Davy passed an electric arc of energy between two poles. The resulting "light" had a short life but nonetheless contributed to the science of electricity.
In 1820 a fellow named Warren De la Rue also tried to create the incandescent light bulb. Using a platinum coil, la Rue passed a current of electricity through a tube. This successful resulted in a light "bulb" or sorts. However, the platinum coil used proved way too expensive to mass-produce. Thus la Rue's creation served more as a research tool than anything else.
Still searching for portable floodlight Suppliers the perfect bulb, Frederick de Moleyns stepped up to the plate in 1841. He used powdered charcoal filters as a conductor for light energy. He is the first person granted a patent for creating incandescent lamps. Then, Edward Shepard less than a decade later used a charcoal filament to create an incandescent lamp. Like its predecessors, this light was short-lived. Around the same time a man named Joseph Swan also started using carbon as filaments. Carbon provided a lower cost and more efficient filament material than other metal alternatives.
In 1854 a German worker created a filament using carbonized bamboo. This successfully produced an incandescent electric bulb. The light bulb had the same problem as its predecessors however. Short life spans seemed to plague the early inventors of light for many years before Edison stepped on to the scene. In 1860 Joseph Swan displayed a decent light bulb using carbonized filaments. His problem however, was failure to create a proper vacuum and enough electricity to product a lasting light.
Thomas Edison Enters the Light Bulb Scene
Finally Thomas Edison, after thousands of experiments, in 1879 figures out that carbonized paper filament produces a lasting light bulb. Thomas Edison's bulb produced light for almost 15 hours. Thus, he is credited with producing the first effective and useful incandescent bulb.
Thomas Edison tried more than 6,000 different plant species before he discovered the one that would work as a proper filament. A few years later a gentleman named Lewis Latimer patented a process that allowed carbon filaments to be manufactured more efficiently. His process extended the life of Edison's carbon filaments, producing an even longer lasting light bulb.
Thomas Edison of course never stopped working on the light bulb. After creating the first incandescent light bulb to last, he worked on creating the first useful incandescent lamp. Thankfully many other researchers continued to refine Edison's work. Because of this, there are many different varieties of bulb available today.
Let's take a peak at some of the inventions that followed the first incandescent bulb.
New Discoveries in Incandescence
The journey of the light bulb did not stop with Edison. In the early 1900s researchers discovered that tungsten filaments were more efficient for producing long lasting light that carbon ones. Now tungsten is the standard for light bulb filaments, even in modern times.
Today the light bulb has evolved into a work of art. There are many different categories of light bulb today, aside from the traditional incandescent. Some of the more popular varieties include:
Full spectrum light bulbs
Automotive LED bulbs
Compact fluorescent light bulbs
Halogen light bulbs
Projector light bulbs
Tanning bed bulbs
Specialty light bulbs
As you can see, the light bulb has come a long way.
Thanks to the hard efforts of many scientists, the light bulb has evolved into a complex creation!
