Filling in Eyebrows

If your eyebrows are on the skimpy side, a little shading magic can help pump them up. Here’s what you need to know about filling in your eyebrows.

Sparse or thinning eyebrows could be the result of a medical condition like hypothyroidism, nutritional deficiencies, the natural aging process, or simply overzealous tweezing. Whatever the cause (and you should check with your doc to rule out any serious conditions), you can reclaim a beautiful eyebrow shape with this primer on eyebrow shading.

When you’re filling in your eyebrows yourself, Rule No. 1 is: Don’t be scared! You can do it without having that obvious drawn-in look. The key is to use brow powder or powder eye shadow (much more subtle than using a pencil, which can create strong lines).

Before adding color, first determine where your eyebrows should begin, peak, and end. “Once the brow shape is defined, the thickness is then a matter of choice based on the individual’s personal style,” says Vincent Longo, makeup artist and creative director for Vincent Longo Cosmetics.

Here are Longo’s tips for finding your eyebrow shape:

1. Figure out where your eyebrow begins by placing a pencil vertically against the side of your nose and the inner corner of the eye. This is the starting point.
2. Next, place the pencil diagonally from the side of your nostril to the center of the pupil — this is the highest point of the arch. Make sure the pencil is vertical, since any slight angle will throw off the brow shape.
3. Lastly, to determine where the brow tapers off, place the pencil from the side of the nostril to the outside corner of the eye. This is the end point.

Mark these three points on each of your eyebrows using an eye pencil, visually connect the dots, then tweeze or wax off hairs that fall out of bounds.

To fill with brow powder, choose a shade close to your natural hair color (or one or two shades deeper if you have pale eyebrows), then follow the steps below.

1. Apply brow wax (or ChapStick!) on your eyebrows as a base.
2. Dip an angled liner brush into brow powder and using short, light strokes “draw” hairs over the new brow shape you created, starting from the center of the brow outward. To define the underside of the brow or to fill in very sparse areas, apply a bit more pressure.
3. Blend the color with a brow brush or clean toothbrush.
4. Finally, use a spooley brush (it looks like a mascara wand) to apply clear eyebrow gel onto your brows for extra hold.

Women with very light-colored eyebrow hair can “thicken” their brows with colored brow gels and brow tints in a shade or two darker than their natural color. These products, which often come in 2-in-1 packaging, resemble mascara, but the formulas are lighter in texture and have less pigment. However, it takes a little practice to master brushing on the color without getting it on your skin.

Whether you’re filling in your eyebrows temporarily or need to permanently add it to your beauty routine, these tips will help you fake your way to lush, shapely eyebrows.

Lirik: Love Is Blue [Paul Mauriat?]

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I’m without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away

Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we’re apart

CHORUS:
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Black, black, the nights I’ve known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Gone, gone, the love we knew
Blue is my world now I’m without you.

Repeat CHORUS

Black, black, the nights I’ve known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I’m without you

Taman Wisata: Ratu Boko

Objek wisata Ratu Boko [gw lebih suka menyebutnya Istana Ratu Boko] terletak kurang lebih 2 km arah selatan candi Prambanan, kurang lebih 18 km arah timur kota Yogyakarta, kurang lebih 50 km dari arah barat kota Solo, terletak di atas bukit yang merupakan kelanjutan pegunungan seribu seluas kurang lebih 2500 m2 [meter persegi] dengan ketinggian kurang lebih 195.97 m.

Riwayat Penemuan Situs Ratu Boko

Sumber prasasti yang dikeluarkan oleh Rakai Panangkaran tahun 746-784 M kawasan situs Ratu Boko disebut Abhayagiri Wihara. Abhaya berati tidak ada bahaya, Giri berarti bukit/gunung, Wihara berarti asrama/tempat para Biksu agama Buddha yang terletak di atas bukit penuh kedamaian.

Pada masa berikutnya Abhaya Wihara berganti nama menjadi Kraton Walaing yang diproklamirkan oleh raja Vasal bernama Rakai Walaing Pu Kumbayoni.

Tahun 1790, Van Boeckholtz menemukan adanya reruntuhan kepurba-kalaan di atas bukit Ratu Boko.

Kesetia-kawanan Sahabat

Berkawan/berteman harus selalu hati-hati; jangan bergaul dengan orang yang seperti serigala atau komplotan jahat.

Jangan berkawan dengan orang yang akrab dengan kamu hanya karena makanan dan minuman; atau orang yang tidak mau menolong saat sesama dalam kesusahan, tetapi malah mengejeknya miskin.

Bersahabat harus menjaga kepercayaan dan kejujuran; dengan berlalunya waktu, maka hati manusia akan terlihat.

Jalan-Jalan Ke Jogja Part 1 H.1

Seneng deh jalan-jalan ke Jogja sendirian…^^ Enaknya jadi single traveller itu kita ngga pusing atau beda pendapat mau kemana tujuan kita dengan teman seperjalanan. hehe

Hari pertama [4 Desember 2011] sampai di Adi Sucipto jam 7 pagi, gw udah tau nih rute gw mau kemana aja [Prambanan, Ratu Boko, dan Borobudur], tapiii,, gw bingung mo naik apa ke Prambanannya!!! Lalu gw ada liat bus Damri gitu, tapi rute-nya ke Magelang [harga Rp 35.000,-]. Mm,, kalo gw take it, rute gw berantakan semua dunk,,, Mm,, :-s Sebelah stand bus DAMRI ada supir taksi nih,, iseng-iseng tanya kira-kira biasanya berapaan tarif dari Adi Sucipto ke Prambanan, ternyata sekitar 60-70 ribuan. Mm,,, :-s Khan gw mau irit… Ngga deh.. Hehe. Lalu, gw tanya dimana letak bus Trans Jogja. Ternyata ngga jauh koq letaknya… Murah meriah.. Dari Adi Sucipto sampai Halte Prambanan cuman Rp 3.000,-!!!

Dari Halte Prambanan ke Candi Prambanan bisa ditempuh dengan jalan kaki kira-kira 15-20 menit. Kalau naik becak bisa Rp 10.000an. Nah karena gw pikir udara pagi gini rasanya fresh banget, gw pilih jalan kaki dech.. Kalo gw perginya bareng temen-temen gw, pasti meraka ngga mau jalan kaki. Nah, inilah salah satu kelebihan single traveller: tidak perlu kompromi dulu. hehe.
