Don’t extend it to the inner corner, since it would make your eyes shrink.

88. Choosing eyeshadow for brown eyes.
Having brown eyes can make it easier for you to choose the color of your eye shadow,
since that eye color can go with almost anything. However, if you want one that would
suit your eye color best, then you should go with purple or green colored eye shadows.

89. Choosing the right type of eye shadow.
When you are shopping for a new eye shadow, you need to be aware that they are
available in different kinds. In general, eye shadows are available in cream, stick,
powder, and mineral forms. Choosing between these kinds would depend on your
preferences though, but it is also wise to know their differences.

90. The shape of your eyebrow.
Different haircuts go best with different women. This concept also applies to choosing
the shape of your eyebrow. To determine the best eyebrow shape for you, one of the
things that you can consider for it is the shape of your face. In general, faces can be
oval, square, heart, or round shaped.

91. In shaping your eyebrows.
One of the things that you need to remember about shaping your eyebrows is that, they
don’t have to look like twins. They should look more like sisters, in which they should
complement with each other. Aside from that, you should not over pluck since it can
take some time to grow your eyebrows back.

92. Choosing between neutral and dramatic eye shadows.
Wearing eye shadow should be in accordance to the kind of event that you are
attending. In general though, dramatic eye shadows should be worn during nighttime,
especially on parties. On the other hand, neutral eye shadow should be worn for
daytime such as at your office or at school.

93. What you can do with thin eyebrows.
If you have thin eyebrows naturally or due to over plucking, you can make use of
different types of eyebrow fillers for it. One example of it would be the eyebrow pencil,
which you can use like you are drawing individual hairs, to compensate your lack of
eyebrows. Don’t apply too much pressure though, since it would appear unnatural.

94. Using eyebrow fillers.
Whatever type of eyebrow filler you are going to use, it is very important that you match
it with your hair color. However, if you have black hair, you should go for a dark brown
color for your filler. This is because using black color could make your eyebrow look too
harsh.

95. Having a heart shape face.
If your face is heart shaped, you should come up with rounded brows, since it would
make your look more feminine and elegant. The rounded brows would emphasize your
heart shape face. Whatever shape your face has though, it is best if you use an
eyebrow gel in setting your brows.

96. How to start having a winged eyeliner.
First and foremost, you should use a liquid liner to achieve the winged look. When it
comes to applying it, it is good if you find a flat surface to rest your elbow on. This would
help to steady your hand. Start at the inner side of your eye and get as close as you can
to the lash line, while applying a line that is thin. This should help you in starting it right

97. Choosing the right kind of eyeliner.
One of the things you need to consider when choosing an eyeliner is its kind. The
choices that you have would include the liquid eyeliner, pencil eyeliner, cream eyeliner,
and mineral based eyeliner. It is best that you become more familiar with each of them,
so that you can choose accordingly.

98. False eyelashes.
If you want to enhance the looks of your eyes by wearing false eyelashes, you should
know certain things about them first. One of the things you need to take note of is the
fact that most false eyelashes are too long for comfort. Thus, you may have to trim them
down after purchasing them. Do it slowly though, so that they won’t become too short.

99. Thickening your lashes with mascara.
There are different types of mascaras available today, and one of them can help you
add more volume to sparse lashes. All you have to do is to choose a mascara, which
features a thickening formula to achieve what you want. Such products usually come
with all the instructions that you need to follow.

100. Heated eyelash curlers.
To curl your eyelashes, one of the things that you can make use of is the eyelash curler.
However, if you want to speed things up, then you should opt for a heated eyelash
curler. Such types of eyelash curler are usually battery operated, and have plates that
would heat up when turned on. This tool would allow you to skip the step of heating up
your curler in preparing it for the job.
 

Diets that Provide Food Supplements

A number of popular diets and weight loss programs are on the market today that not only provide support at a personal level, but also supply food supplements, either in the form of complete meals, or shakes to assist the dieter achieve their weight loss goals.

With most people experiencing an increasingly busy lifestyle and many families relying on take-out food, the home delivered foods and the pharmacy supplied shakes are a convenient and easy way to approach weight loss.

Many of the programs also offer an educational focus on improving the quality of the foods an individual or family traditionally eats, to ensure that when the desired weight loss is achieved, there is a transition to a normal diet based on healthy eating patterns.

Some of the popular diets using this combination of delivered or prepackaged foods and diet and exercise education include Jenny Craig, Lite n Easy and Pharmacy based programs

What Is the Basic Philosophy behind the Diet?
The basic philosophy of these programs is that the most difficult part of a weight loss program is getting started. The convenience of having food supplied that is nutritionally balanced and with a controlled calorie count, will kick start the weight loss process without the need to prepare special meals or shop for specific foods.

HCG Diet

The HCG diet is a controversial approach to weight loss. The hormone HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, after which the diet is named) is injected or ingested at a very low dose, combined with at times a very low calorie intake. People who have battled to lose weight for many years have reported this diet successful for them. It was designed in the 1950s and has been modified and re-released.

What Is the Basic Philosophy behind the Diet?
HCG is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced in the placenta cells during pregnancy. It is found in small amounts in non-pregnant men and women and is believed to increase metabolism and act as an appetite suppressant.
The participants in the HCG diet self-inject or ingest very small doses of HCG every day and combine this with a diet approach that is highly regulated. Food eaten is natural, organic, and fresh foods. There is a restriction on fast foods and processed foods in the diet.

What Support Is Offered by the Parent Organization?
The program is offered online and in clinics around the world. People can choose to do the program completely at home or can attend a clinic weekly where they receive personal support. Clinics are spread throughout the world and are accessible in most towns of the USA. People choosing the personal contact approach visit the clinics each week for the duration of the program.

Online websites provide information and support and the HCG can be prescribed by a medical advisor and accessed in a pharmacy. As this diet involves injections of a hormone, it is extremely important that medical advice is sought before commencing this program.

How Does the Diet Work?
The diet incorporates four phases and each phase is different in it’s content. The four phases include injection, some diet change, major calorie restrictions, normal diet with some food restrictions, and normal diet based on organic foods.
The controversy surrounding the diet focuses on the use of HCG as a dietary medication when it is not approved by the Federal Drug Authority in the USA and the extremely low calorie intake which some consider is not enough to maintain normal body functions.

People following the diet reportedly lose between 1 and 3 pounds of weight each week and fat loss is reportedly more obvious in those places where fat deposits are more commonly seen. Even though controversial, it has its supporters who feel it offers a solution to those who have attempted other ways to lose weight without success. Nutrition experts feel the weight loss is most likely a result of the very low calorie intake rather than any benefit from the injections.

Weight loss tends to be rapid and consistent when on the program, making it a popular choice for those who are results driven. The very low calorie intake leaves people feeling initially lethargic and with little energy ,but after the program is completed, the focus on healthy eating and the associated life style changes and weight loss produces are energized feeling in most participants

Weight Watchers International’s Pro Points Diet

Weight Watchers International has been a leader in weight loss since it was first launched in 1961. The key to the program’s success is the concept that losing weight is more than just going on a diet. Losing weight is about changing habits, being aware of what you are eating and finding help and support to stick to an eating plan based on foods you normally eat, rather than foods someone says you should eat.
The Weight Watchers International Pro Points Diet is the latest in a range of diet plans offered through the program over the years. Each revision of the diet is based on the latest scientific research on best weight loss practices.

What Is the Basic Philosophy behind the Diet?
The basis of the Pro Plan (diet) is that you should burn more calories than you eat. The dieter is eating only a certain number of calories, (converted to a points system). The points allocated are based on the carbohydrate fats and protein component of foods.
Unlike some other diets, the program is focused on the foods the dieter would normally eat and does not rely on any special food or supplements. There are low point Weight Watchers brand foods commercially available through major supermarkets that provide options for people to supplement their own food if they desire. However, the focus of the program is food people would normally eat, and not special foods. Online logbooks allow the dieter record their daily use of points.

Weight Watchers provide their members with two membership options. A monthly all-inclusive option which enables members to attend weekly motivational support groups led by a member of Weight Watchers who have themselves successfully lost weight. At a meeting, the members’ weight is measured and recorded. Online tools can be bought separately that enable members to log their intake and point usage. There is also an online membership option that enables members to maintain their records online and to find support within an online community.

How Does the Diet Work?
The difference in the Pro Plan is that it focuses on fat loss rather than weight loss. It actually may lead to a slower weight loss than previous weight watchers plans did, but it does not lead to muscle loss as other programs risk doing due to its healthy eating focus and prioritizing of a balanced diet.

Each person is allocated a daily points value based on their age, gender, weight and weight loss goals and foods are allocated a certain number of points. Fruit and vegetables have no points. Indulgent foods are allowed in the diet plan so no one needs to feel they cannot have the occasional “naughty” food. This flexibility makes following the plan very simple and very easy to stick with. Counting points in the latter stages of the program become second nature to the dieter.

Weight Watchers’ plans have guaranteed success to participants in the past and researchers expect that the plan will be both popular and successful. This provides plenty of opportunity for lifestyle change and consistent weight loss. A maintenance program is available for those who successfully achieve their goal weight.

How Does the Flat Belly Diet Work?

The dieter commences the diet by buying the book for advice on how to proceed with the diet and then begins a 4 day detoxification program designed to “clean out” the body and kick start the diet. The dieter then continues on a month of eating meals selected from the book and based on healthy food choices aimed at changing previous bad habits and encouraging good habits.
Though the diet continues for approximately 32 days, the choices make continuing it through life a simple process and one most people tend to adopt into their lifestyle.

The Flat Belly Diet will cause weight loss but most experts believe this is due to water loss not actual weight loss. It is not supported by available research. The diet however is an excellent approach to a healthy life style and the program is easy to follow and will produce weight loss.

Women’s Health Look Good Naked Diet

The Women’s Health Look Good Naked Diet is a 6-week weight loss program that is detailed in a book of the same name. As is suggested by the producers of the diet, this is a women’s diet program.
Over a period of 6 weeks the diet is said to help you lose weight and tone your body so you feel and look good. During the diet, the program promises you will reshape your body.
An interesting twist to the diet it is focus on improving your self-confidence and a crash course in “sexiness” so you not only look good but feel good at the end of the 6 weeks.


What Is the Basic Philosophy behind the Diet?
The program focuses on 20 foods that are described as foods that will you lose weight and burn fat for a flat belly and will form the basis of your diet for the duration of the program.
The program goal is to help the dieter improve their self-confidence not just lose weight. It is easy to dress to look good on the outside, but it is equally important to feel good on the inside. The program itself combines a focus on exercise and diet to achieve weight loss.


How Does the Diet Work?
The Look Good Naked Diet book once purchased contains all the necessary information for the dieter to participate in the diet in their own home. The diet is started with a two-day detoxification program followed by a diet intake that focuses on a daily intake of 1400 calories.

The menu provided involves focus on 20 foods Meals are prepared around these foods and the dieter also incorporates two sessions of cardio workouts and two of strength training every week.

There is also the chance to select a preferred work out once a week. The program promises a weight loss of approximately 8 pounds in the first month.

The strength of the program is the psychological focus that is offered by the program. Many people are emotional eaters; others who lose weight find it difficult to see themselves differently to before their weight loss.
The focus on improving self-confidence, together with the balance between diet and exercise for weight loss has produced a diet that is having success around the world.

While the limitation of only 20 foods might prove restrictive to some people, the foods and the menus provided allow for lots of variety and good eating for the duration of the diet.

Low Carb (No Carb) Diets

Low carbohydrate diets (or no carbohydrate diets) are weight loss options that restrict the amount of carbohydrates ingested by a dieter, while increasing the amounts of proteins and fats eaten. Different diet options allow the consumption of different amounts of carbohydrates on a daily basis.

The most common of these diet types is the “Atkins Diet”. However, there are other famous weight loss programs such as the “South Beach Diet”. Here, we will focus on the Atkins Diet due to its popularity.
The Atkins Diet advertises a weight loss potential of 6 kilograms (13 pounds) over two weeks.
What Is the Basic Philosophy behind the Diet?

The principle behind the low carbohydrate diet is that carbohydrates result in an increase in blood sugar level as they are metabolized by the body.
This results in a reciprocal rise in insulin levels. Insulin controls the blood sugar levels but also causes fat deposition. Low carbohydrate ingestion results in less insulin production by the pancreas and therefore less fat deposits in the fat storing cells.

By restricting the “bad” carbohydrates in the diet such as white refined rice, bread, pastas and potatoes as well as sweet desserts, those who support this diet suggest weight loss will occur. Many supporters also encourage eating of “good” carbohydrates by eating foods such as fruit and vegetables as the major supplier of daily carbohydrate requirements.

Getting Started with a Diet

When you have decided that you need a diet to supplement your body’s nutritional requirements, you are not very much mistaken. It is true that today we are not living as healthily as we used to before.

Our foods have become more synthetic—the environment itself has become synthetic—and our lifestyles have gone too far away from the order of nature to be called as healthy. We are too consumed with our materialistic responsibilities to realize our body’s physical demands any more.
So, looking for a diet is a good idea. But, if you have already started looking for diets, you might have understood that the whole activity is not as easy as you think.

You are not going to find a single diet that is perfect in all respects that you can use for yourself without any further ado. That is not going to happen. At the same time, you will see that there are hundreds of different diets out there. There are the very expensive ones and there are the very cheap ones.
There are some diets that will treat you to gourmet delicacies even when you are dieting and there are others that believe in the old system of making the body starve. One diet will keep away one particular nutrient, while another will keep away another nutrient, while a third diet will not have any restrictions whatsoever.
Confused already?

If you are, it is not your fault at all. With the hundreds of diets out there, all of them with amazing promotional strategies and most of them with some great user reviews as well, it is understandable that you might it difficult to find a diet that meets with your requirements.
In short, when you are looking for a diet, you need to check out the following things.
1.
When a particular diet excites you, the first thing you should see is the concept behind the diet. Why does the diet work? What principle is it based on? What nutrients will it provide, and what will it restrict, if at all? These are the things that you have to look for. Your choice of diet should always depend on the theory behind its working.
2.
Your next step will be to get as much information as you can about the diet. Visit the website first and see what they are telling. If you have any questions, you should contact them and find out more. Most of the reputed diets out there also give out eBooks that describe the diet in detail. You could order these eBooks, and actually you should do that because that gives you a perfect idea of what the diet is about.
3.
Read the reviews on the diet. See how it has affected people who have used it already. Make sure to read a lot of reviews and read them on reputed websites so that you are certain you are not reading glowing reviews that have been planted by the company itself.
4.
See if there are any drawbacks about the diet. Is there any reason why your body won’t adjust with the diet well? Are there any special things to keep in mind? If you are skeptical about anything, make it a point to ask someone reputable.
5.
What kind of support does the company provide? You should not be left in the lurch once the diet has started. This is very important. When dieting, you have to work closely with the people who have designed the diet, especially when it is something like Jenny Craig’s program which delivers healthy meals to your doorstep for a fixed number of days.
6.
Even if you feel everything is perfect, do not start out the diet without first seeking counsel from your doctor. Tell them about the diet and ask them whether it is safe for you to go ahead with it.
