I hate nothing more than checking out pictures only to discover my skin was splotchy or a big pimple popped up on my chin. Everything else looks great, but somehow all I can do is stare at my flaws. Something even worse is taking head shots that never turn out right. Don't you wish you could fix photos or learn how to photoshop so you always looked your best? FaceFilter3 from Reallusion puts professional photo editing tools at your fingertips.

Designed for Beauty

FaceFilter3 isn't just another PhotoShop clone. Instead, the program focuses on beauty. From makeup to facial reshaping, it does a little of everything. What I personally like best is the constant “before” and “after” photos side by side throughout the editing process so you see exactly how much of a difference your changes make.

Hundreds of Uses

Whether the photo didn't take right (think random shadows or glare) or you have blemishes and wrinkles you'd rather not have memorialized in a photo, FaceFilter3 will fix the problem. You can enhance your skin tone to get the healthiest look and a natural glow, erase blemishes completely and even use layers to clear away wrinkles.

Perhaps you're having some puffiness or your smile isn't shaped quite like you would like. I couldn't believe the difference that a few tweaks could make in making you look younger or more even. Cute, chubby cheeks can be slimmed down to create a new vision of you.

Now for my favorite use – makeup. With lipstick, eye makeup and contouring, you can see exactly what your face would look like with different colors and styles before buying or using makeup at home. I love trying out new combinations and just going wild. It's also fun to share the “after” photos to make friends' jaws drop.

If beauty isn't your thing, FaceFilter3 has you covered. With stunning smart editing, you can turn a plain photo into a true life-like memory. Bring out every color and erase imperfections. Add in lens effects and DSLR effects even after a photo's been taken.

What's The Difference

Okay, so I know there are hundreds of tools that claim to do the same thing. Frankly, I think FaceFilter3 is one of those rare programs that delivers without being overly complicated. Easy to use menus and tools make it easy for beginners to start editing. Plus, Reallusion provides detailed tutorials to accustom you to menus and common edits.

Since I loved the makeup portion so much, I really loved the set of 51 free makeup elements you get just for registering. Plus, the program caters to every type of facial editing you could imagine, not just makeup or skin tone. It does it all for an affordable price. The Standard version is only $29.95, but you don't get all features. For all features (PRO), the price goes up to $79.95. I'd recommend taking the PRO version for trial run before buying.

Honestly, I've never seen a single tool offer so much versatility and stunning results. Whether you want to try out new styles, edit a family photo or create stunningly professional head shots for resumes, you'll only need a single program.

Get The Look: Sophia Vergara

by Sian Bitner Kearney
Whether it’s her eccentric role as Gloria on Modern Family or her recent character as sous chef Ava in the New Year’s Eve, you have to admit this Columbian cutie has loads of personality and looks. For the 2013 SAG Awards, Vergara kept her makeup simple but sexy, channeling one of the great sex symbols of the past, Sofia Loren.
FACE:

  • Much like a great painting, true beauty starts with a great canvas.
  • For skin that is flawless and glowing without too much shine, apply Diorskin Forever Flawless foundation to face with a foundation brush.

CHEEKS:

  • Create a glow that lasts all night with a coral cream blush like Vincent Longo Water Canvas Blush in Tuscan Spell.
  • Apply to apples of cheeks with your fingertips and then blend with a brush as needed.

EYES:

  • Much like Loren, Vergara’s look is all about the eyes. To create a smoky but naturally sexy look, avoid dark black shadows and opt for a subtler brown like this one from Beauty is Life.
  • Apply to lids and use as a liner for the bottom lash line.
  • Next, apply a black gel liner to the top lash line, staying as close to the lashes as possible and then create a slightly dramatic wing at the corners.
  • We like Smashbox Jetset Waterproof liner for a look that lasts right on through the after party!
  • Finish the eyes with several coats of black lengthening mascara like this one from Napoleon Perdis for eyes that are flirty and fabulous!

LIPS:

  • With the rest of the look being so neutral, the lips are a great place to add a pop of color. Try a medium pink for a perfect pout like Coral Pink from Koh Gen Do.
  • Top your look with some sexy waves and a daring dress and you’ve mastered a look that no paparazzi can resist!

How to Help Heal Your Skin After Blowing Your Nose Too Much

2 0 0 1
 
We've all been there. I know for sure after a cold I look like Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer.  The only thing that helps me is an emollient based moisturizer, something that is made especially for eczema, dry skin, windburn or chapped skin.
  • The two that I use of choice Aquaphor or First Aid Ultra Repair Cream.
  • These two products have helped me numerous times after a wicked cold when my nose hurt so much from days and days of sniffling and sneezing. These two creams are extremely emollient thick, will not sink into the skin and will help to repair it. Their consistency, as you can see in the video above, is extremely emollient, somewhat like a Vaseline cream.
  • They leave a protective barrier around the chapped skin which is what is happening to your nose especially after a nasty cold. So remember that these two products will help to save you.

I hope this answered your question and I hope you feel better!

How To Bring Out Indian Skin

2 0 0 1

How to Bring Out Indian Skin -- powered by ehow
 
One of my favorite tricks, is good, old fashioned bronzer and a highlighter. These give a really beautiful glow, and helps to enhance the beautiful yellow and orange undertones of the India skin tone.
  • Use a bronzer that is not too pink and has a really beautiful yellow base.
  • You want a beautiful bronzer that does not have a lot of shimmer in it.
  • When applying the bronzer, you want to hit the places where the sun naturally hits the forehead. So, the forehead, the cheek bones, and a little bit on the chin.
  • With the highlighter, you simply want to hit the top of the cheek bones, make sure it's blended, a little bit on the top of the eyelid. And then, you can even do a tiny bit right there on the pout to make the lips look fuller.
  • You can continue to add a little bit more bronzer, if you feel you want some more color to the cheeks.

Spa Sonic Skin Care Routine

Press Sample
1 0 0 1

You already know how important it is to deep clean your pores and exfoliate skin to remove dead cells. Finding the right tools is difficult. Many systems are expensive and out of reach. That's why I was surprised to see a sonic skin care system for under $100. The Spa Sonic Skin Care System   is a seven piece brush kit that is supposed to be comparable to the much higher priced Clarisonic Plus Skin Care System.

The brushes move in a circular motion and are extremely gentle on the skin which is perfect for sensitive or acne prone skin. The five interchangeable brushes and stones are designed to exfoliate, cleanse, tighten pores and smooth skin. One aspect I really liked is the fact you can use any cleanser or moisturizer that you use with your basic skin care routine. Plus, the large body brush is perfect for full body exfoliation.

The system comes with two small face brushes, one large body brush, one facial buffer and one pumice stone. Instead of just a face brush, it truly is for all your problem areas. The one thing that sets the Spa Sonic brush apart is how soft the brushes are while still being effective. No more scratchy brushes just to get a deep clean.

I really like that you can find the Spa Sonic Skin Care System easily at many retailers and even on Amazon.com for $50-$85.

When someone talks about the classic makeup look, my first image goes immediately to the iconic red lip. Red lips and clean, luminous skin is one of the most elegant looks a lady can rock. Luckily, you don't have to pull out the big bucks to be able to replicate this time-honored look. I was recently able to try out three Revlon products, which helped me try out this makeup look.  What most impressed me about the products where how well they lasted, and how stunning the pigmentation was. 

  • Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rich Girl Red: I am loving this red. It is bright, but not overbearing and has a smooth as silk feel. Since this red is vibrant, it is the perfect statement lip look. 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pomme Fatale: A perfect compliment to the red lipgloss. The color is sheer, which also makes it a great red for those hesitant to go "full on red".  Love this for summer nights. 

Revlon BBCream: This is a very light, and soft BBCream, which makes it a perfect parnter to the red lip look.  Remeber, the red lip is the statement, so everything else needs to be subtle and clean.  The basic benefits of this bbcream are:

  • Hydrates like moisturizer
  • smooths like primer
  • covers like foundation
  • blurs  like concealer
  • protects with SPF 30 like sunscreen

Here are my top beauty tips to achieve the look: 

  • Make sure the focus stays on the lips.  
  • For eyes, use a simple bone and taupe eyeshadow. Finish with brown eyeliner and mascara for a classic, and clean eye. 
  • For precise application, apply the red lip with a lip brush. 
  • If you are nervous about the intensity of a red lip, than simply use the red lipgloss until you feel more comfortable with vibrant lip look. 
  • For blush, experiment with bronzer, or a soft peach color.
