How To Brighten Your Teeth Without Whitening- Wild Magnolia Artistry

I am sure that most of us would love to make our teeth look white and bright. I am going to tell you a few tips on how to do that without having to do any teeth whitening.

First, choose the right lipstick shade. Go for a bright red--it'll make your teeth look whiter in contrast--and avoid magenta hues with pinky-blue undertones. They can make pearly whites look a little yellowish.

Second, wet your teeth before smiling. You can do this by either licking them or taking a drink of water. This will give your teeth more sparkle.

Third, apply a little dab of lip gloss to the centerpart of your lower lip to make lips look plump and teeth look shiny!

Now you know 3 easy ways to brighten up your smile. Hopefully the results will put a smile on your face!

Eyelash Curlers

I think that eyelash curlers are something that women either love and use on a daily basis or they never use one. I am guilty of belonging to the second group. However, I recently went and bought one at Target and I was really impressed. I bought the ELF version which was $1 which is probably about as cheap as you will find one.

Should you even bother using one? I would say yes. Curling your eyelashes helps to open up your eyes and makes your lashes look longer and fuller. Anyone who follows my blog or has ever had their makeup done by me knows that I love lashes and this is the next best thing to applying false ones. Having said that I am going to give you some guidelines to using the eyelash curler in the most effective way.

First off, never use an eyelash curler with your mascara already on. It should only be used prior to mascara application. Mascara can cause your eyelashes to stick to the curler which could result in your lashes being pulled out.

Second, many people will tell you to warm up the curler before use. This is fine but make sure not too get it too warm which could cause you to burn your eyelids. This could also cause your eyelash curler to leave a crease in your eyelashes. If you are going to warm up your curler make sure to check the temperature before you use it.

Finally, do not use waterproof mascara if you are using an eyelash curler. Now when I say do not use it, I don't mean just when you use the curler. I mean don't use it at all! Waterproof mascara is very drying to eyelashes (I personally believe it should only be used on very rare occasions). When you mix dried out lashes and a rubber strip being pressed against them, you have a very dangerous combination. I was attending a makeup class one time and the instructor told us about a girl that he was using an eyelash curler on and everyone of her eyelashes fell out due to dry brittle lashes from using waterproof mascara. I do not think that any of us want to have to go without our eyelashes, so stay away from the waterproof mascara.

Eyelash curlers can be purchased at any drugstore or makeup counter. They range in price from $1 to $20. One particular curler that has a very big following is by Shu Uemura. You can find it at Sephora for around $18. Many women swear that this is the best one that you can buy. I am planning on buying one pretty soon so I will let you guys know what I think.

Wild Magnolia Artistry- Spice Up Your Eyeliner

I know for me I seem to constantly go for a black or brown eyeliner as I am sure most women do. However, lately I have been mixing it up and using different colors of eyeshadow as a liner. All you have to do is use a eyeliner brush and get it wet. You can use any eyeshadow color that you want. Sometimes it will take a couple of applications to get the color as dark as you want it.

I personally have tried purple, navy blue, and green. Try to use a more neutral color as your base because too much color can look overdone. The possibilities are endless! This is a really fun way to spice up your makeup without having to do anything too dramatic. Plus it will save you money because you are using eyeshadow that you already have. Try it! I know you will love the results!

Wild Magnolia Artistry ~ Makeup Steals and Deals!

My new favorite place to buy makeup is Target!! I know you are all thinking "Really, Target?" But I am telling you Target has many lines of cosmetics. The best thing is unlike my other favorite Sephora, Target will not leave you broke when you leave. Target has lines such as Sonia Kashuk, Boots No. 7, Jemma Kidd, Pixi and their newest line E.L.F. (Eyes Lips and Face).

First off I love Sonia Kashuk's makeup bags. They are so cute and stylish and very inexpensive. I personally bought my Brush Roll and personal makeup bag from this line. Boots No. 7 is a line from the UK that has great skin care products. I am currently using a moisturizer from them that I absolutely love; it is called Advanced Hydration.

In case you have never heard of ELF, it is a makeup line where almost everything is $1. As someone who is obsessed with makeup I have always wanted to try this line! However, as a somewhat skeptical person I keep talking myself out of it. So the other night when I was at Target I saw ELF's products and decided to give it a try. I bought a lip gloss that was $1 and let me say that I was pleasantly surprised. Currently the Target at Tulsa Hills only has a few products from the line, but I have heard that they will eventually carry the full line. The best thing about it is that even if you don't like the product you are only out $1!

So next time you are at Target wander over to the cosmetics aisle and check it out for yourself. You will be glad that you did!

Wild Magnolia Artistry - An Intro

My name is Chelsea Price and I am the owner & makeup artist for Wild Magnolia Artistry. Makeup has been a passion of mine since I first started wearing it in 8th Grade! I love how makeup can transform women both inside and out; I know that whenever I feel that my makeup looks good I feel much more confident in myself. In my experience this is true for other women as well.

My goal for my postings is to give you advice that you can use in your everyday life; whether it be a product you should try or a tip that you can use, my goal is to help each one of you feel your most beautiful!

Now on to my first makeup tip! Do you have problems with your eyeshadow creasing or disappearing throughout the day? If so, try first applying a cream based shadow or eyeshadow primer; the eyeshadow powder will stick to cream better than your skin and will contribute to a longer and more even wear throughout the day. To achieve this look, you can try Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion or any other cream eyeshadow. These are available in many different price ranges.

If you have a question you would like for me to answer in the Dandelion Network blog, please feel free to email me at info@wildmagnoliaartistry.com. I also offer many professional makeup services that range from helping teen girls with their first makeup experiences to teaching women how to enhance their looks with makeup that they already have in their makeup bags.
