Style & Living

Although smoky eyes have always captured attention, they often made a strong statement. This season’s smoky eye has evolved into a softer and more wearable option. The way that the matte, satin, and shimmery shades blend together can certainly be a work of art.  Here’s a simplified way to take this eye makeup look one notch up.  Instead of opting for the usual charcoal shades, the updated version stars metallic shades like gold, silver, and copper, which illuminate and transform the eye instantly.

Rosh HaShanah, the first day of Tishrei, coincides with the sixth day of creation and marks the anniversary of mankind, the day Hashem created Adam and Chava. It’s also the beginning of the lunar calendar year, which will begin this Friday evening at 6:47 p.m.

Although you may not consider yourself a brow pro, there are several tricks of the trade that will make your brows look great! Shaping your brows begins with a pair of quality angled tweezers. First, remove all stray hairs to shape your eyebrow, before applying any brow makeup. Steer clear of overplucking, which is one of the worst moves when you desire thick, luscious brows. This may require some restraint, but will be worthwhile. Once you achieve the desired shape, you will be ready to fill in sparse brows or any missing hair. You may need to incorporate a few different products to achieve the perfect look. 

Although makeup is an art and allows you to creatively express yourself, it can sometimes lead to mistakes.  A  few errors often create an unattractive look, including a cakey, flakey appearance.  This can be quite frustrating after you spend time applying your makeup.  Instead of a dewy finish, cakey makeup, which basically appears thick, patchy, and flakey, can usually be prevented.  

Whether you dare to be gutsy or desire a more natural look, there’s something fresh and inspiring to choose from. Read on to discover the latest spring beauty trends.  

This past week marked the beginning of spring, and we are all looking forward to a beautiful and joyous Pesach, which begins with a 3-day Yom Tov, translating into preparing six meals back to back. For women, this is probably one of the most hectic seasons of all. Between working, cleaning, shopping, cooking, dealing with homework, and taking care of family demands, there isn’t much personal time left for meeting our own needs, and so the dedicated women behind the scenes usually run out of time.
