The Osbourne's MAC Collection is Here

Rock mother-and-daughter duo Sharon and Kelly Osbourne teamed up with MAC for a two-part makeup collection that's anything but dark.

If the images of dark eyeliner, pale powder and red lips creep into your mind when you think about any of the Osbourne clan, you might want to reconsider. The women of the rock 'n' roll family, Sharon and daughter Kelly, teamed up with MAC to create a cosmetics collection ($17–$58) that features both sides of the mother-daughter duo. And the result is anything but gothic. In fact, it's very feminine and surprisingly wearable.

Sure, the collection features bold colors—it is still Sharon and Kelly we're talking about—but don't expect any harsh blacks or pale whites in this collection. Instead the Osbournes' new line is full of statement-making hues for lips, eyes and face. In addition, both ladies' tastes shine through in this two-part range, which features different colors and products encased in distinct packaging that represents each woman. (Sharon is red and Kelly is violet, in case you were curious.)

Take a look at the entire two-part collection in the slideshow below and check out maccosmetics.com to get your hands on the products yourself.

Home remedies to cure dark under eye circles

The skin which is the largest organ in the body is very sensitive but there are other sensitive areas in the body which are more than others. For instance the skin around the eyes is very delicate and thinner than in any other part of the body especially the face. Dark under eye circles are usually from various reasons, the most common ones being stress and lack of sleep. However there are other factors that contribute to having dark circles under the eyes for instance two other causes that most people would not have an idea are that sometimes the cause of this condition is hereditary and nutritional deficiencies.

This is why the skin under your eyes requires more tender care as sometimes it reflects what is going on in our inner parts of the body. Most specialists or doctors are able to diagnose some illnesses or problems just by looking at the skin on the face. The face and mostly the eyes can show whether you have been neglecting your health, abusing it, if you are having stress, how much faster or slower you are aging among other things.

Internally your health can be diagnosed just by how the skin under the eyes looks like, this is because that area has no oil glands and its texture is too refined. There are ways to prevent dark circles from being a problem. Just have a nourishing and balanced diet which includes foods such as beans, fresh fruits and vegetables, unprocessed foods and milk products. 

Causes of Dark Under Eyes Circles

Dark under eyes circles are a realistic problem especially for women. Being the fashion conscious creatures that they are having dark circles is tantamount to committing a fashion crime whose sentence is being called a fashion failure or something worse. This is because in this time and age we are bombarded by billboards dictating the rules of what is in and out in the fashion world.

Looks and appearance have never been placed with such importance as now as people are aware about the latest trends in fashion having dark under eyes circles has become a major problem faced by people of all age groups, race, nationality and even gender.The most commonly known cause for dark under eyes circles is lack of sleep which is as a result you wake up exhausted which aggravates the skin causing discolorations like dark circles.

A cause that is not ordinarily known is Heredity.  One can be able to see the dark circles under the eyes because they are just blood vessels visible through the skin and like varicose veins they are inherited trait. Most women would rather not think of dark eye circles as an inherited trait as they would now start comparing themselves to their mothers to see if they are likely to have continuous occurrences of having dark eyes.

Ways To Wear Bright Lipstick

Want to look bright and ready for a great day, why not try putting on bright lipstick for that no fuss makeup look.  Bright lipstick gives you a bold look which will complete your makeup without having to put on too much eye shadow or bright eyeliner because bright lipstick stands out on its own.

Choose a bright lipstick that complements your skin tone or go bold and contrast it with your color. When applying the bright lipstick fill your entire lip with lip liner so that your lipstick will last longer and stop it from feathering outward. Your lip liner should be similar to your lipstick shade so that it will not look off. Better still you can choose a nude lip liner to maintain the bright lipstick's color. Be adventurous and  choose a bright lip liner which will complement or alter the shade of the bright lipstick.

Finding the right concealer for Dark Under Eye Circles

For any woman Dark under eye circles are an eyesore and the cause of many women’s little stresses in the morning. Nothing makes your eyebrows cringe like the sight of hideous dark circle under your eyes. It may be self-inflicted like staying out all night at parties or sometimes it may be because of that project you have been working on that your boss told you he wants it yesterday. However much you would like to ignore the dark eyes circles, they stand out and are able to be seen so there usually is no sense in refusing to make the problem go away. This is where the use of makeup comes in. it does not matter whether you use little or no makeup at all, the dark circles will have to be concealed as you wait for nature to take its course and make them disappear.

In the quest to conceal the dark under eye circles you will have to consider what tools to use in order to achieve that near perfect flawless skin under your eyes. The best way to cover those dark circles is to use concealer. It is important that you find the right concealer so that you are not doing more damage than solving the problem.  You have to understand the shade of your skin, most if not all of us at least know whether we are light, dark or brown so have this in mind when choosing that concealer. The shade of the concealer needs to be somewhat warmer, than your ordinary skin color. Try first to see whether the concealer is right for you by swiping a bit under the eyes. You will know that the concealer matches your skin tone when it blends totally into your skin. A concealer that will be most effective will be one that is packed in a pot while a spongy one will be least useful when it comes to covering the dark circles.
Here is how to use a Concealer to cover up dark circles under your eyes.

Everyday Facial Scrub Recipe for Black Women

A facial scrub is one of the essential beauty products for the skin, along with tonic and cream. These three skin care products are essential for healthy, attractive skin. While the tonic cleans and the cream nourishes, the scrub removes old, dead skin cells by polishing the skin's surface and leaving behind a new, smooth skin layer. Just like with every beauty product, it is best when a scrub is completely compatible, and that is why African American women need to use a slightly different kind of facial scrub than the ones meant primarily for Caucasian skin.

Lipstick of all shades.

Different shades of the Red Lipstick

Do not be afraid to wear the red lipstick especially if you are in a dramatic mood. Choose a shade that goes well with your skin tone to avoid looking over done.
Red lipstick will go great with your little black dress and can even be worn to the office but let the shade be darker and you can change it up when going out.
The hairstyle you choose to match with your red lips matters too, choose a lot less dramatic hairstyle that will compliment your lips instead of competing with them.
