Beauty - understanding
The earliest theory of beauty can be found in the works of early Greek philosophers from the pre-Socratic period, such as Pythagoras.
The Pythagorean school saw a strong connection between mathematics and beauty. In particular, they noted that objects proportioned according to the golden ratio seemed more attractive.
Ancient Greek architecture is based on this view of symmetry and proportion.
Modern research also suggests that people whose facial features are symmetric and proportioned according the golden ratio are considered more attractive than those whose faces are not.
6 Great Beauty Eye Tips
1. Choose a mascara that's waterproof; it lasts longer and withstands tears. If you really don't like its look or feel, use one coat of regular mascara, then follow it up with a light coat of waterproof mascara.
2. Charcoal, navy, or mahogany are your best options for eyeliner. Black or brown may look too severe, especially if your wedding will be held during the daytime and/or outdoors.
3. Use a white shadow as a highlighter on your brow bone if you have light skin; a warmer light peach or vanilla shade will suit deeper complexions.
4. Do contour your eyes, but avoid using color that's too dense (it can detract from your eyes themselves).
5. Define your brows with a pencil or shadow that matches your hair color.
6. Pop an eye drop if your eyes look red or tired, but stick with a brand you've used before to avoid unwelcome surprises (irritation or worse!).
5 Great Beauty Face Tips
1. Don't forget your blush! A pop of color on your cheeks is like an instant facelift. For fairer skin, a pink tone will work; those deeper skin tones can choose a rosier hue.
2. If you have a blemish or breakout just before the big day, keep your hands away from your face -- the spot will heal more neatly if you leave it alone. In the case of a sudden monstrous pimple, see your dermatologist and ask for an cortisone injection that will shrink it instantly.
3. Blend well all over, especially at the corners of your eyes, since cameras pick up visible makeup lines.
4. For your makeup application, natural light is best. If possible, set up an application table near a window. If there's no natural light available, use a super-bright lamp -- halogens work best.
5. If you're getting ready at a hotel, ask for a high bar stool so you can be on eye level with your makeup artist. If you can't get a stool, simply prop yourself up on pillows.
3 Great Beauty Skin Tips
1. Use bronzing powder on your chest and neck if you need to even out your skin tone -- it will make your skin more luminous and ensure that your face doesn't look too different from your body.
2. Don't, however, use foundation on your décolletage -- it can stain your dress.
3. Use a moisturizer that includes an SPF, especially if you are getting married outdoors! You may be getting more sun than you think you are, and you will definitely look pinker in pictures.
3 Great Beauty Lips Tips
1. Choose a lip color that's a bit bright. Pale nude or brown lip hues can make you appear washed out in photos, particularly since you'll be wearing white. If you normally wear a neutral hue, wear it as your base with a pink or rose color on top. If you normally wear dark lipstick, use that as your base and apply a lighter sheer pink on top to give you a lift.
2. Even if you mix various lip colors when applying your makeup, be sure to have one great lipstick to carry with you for touchups.
3. You can have the softest lips and the perfect lipstick, but if your teeth are yellow you won't want to flash a smile. There are lots of safe, reliable over-the-counter teeth-whitening systems, which all whiten teeth by a few shades.
4 Great Beauty Hair Tips
1. When having your hair styled, a low counter with a mirror -- like a vanity table -- will work best. Check to see that your chair has a low back, so your stylist will have easy access to your head. And make sure there are electrical outlets nearby for appliances such as hair dryers, curling irons, and electric rollers. For extra insurance, bring a few extension cords.
2. If your wedding is early, or if time is of the essence, plug in your rollers, curling iron, or straightening iron before your stylist arrives to save time.
3. If your veil needs to be removed after the ceremony, ask your hairdresser to show your mom or maid of honor how to do it.
4. Give your hair a spa day! Have a professional scalp massage (which not only feels good, but stimulates the hair follicles and adds body) and deep conditioning treatment the week before your wedding.
