DIY Beauty: 20 Things You Can Make at Home

<b>#1 Go Brunette! </b><br />
Go from mousy brown to rich brown in the privacy of your own shower. Take a bottle of shampoo, squeeze out half, then fill the remaining space with cocoa, and, finally, shake vigorously. Shampoo as you routinely do and admire your rich hues. Your friends will definitely give two thumbs up to your new 'do!

Lemons For Blondies!</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Want that just-vacationed-in-the-Caribbean-ehmigawd-lucky-me look? Take 
one cup’s worth of lemon juice and combine with a ¼ cup of warm water 
then spritz the mixture all over your hair. Sit out in the sun for an 
hour and repeat as often as you can. Lemon juice is quite acidic – be sure to condition your hair immediately afterwards.

Super Simple Homemade Bronzer</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This one is so simple that you may feel skeptical, but it’s awesome! 
Simply combine ground cinnamon and nutmeg with cocoa powder and 
cornstarch. You may notice that there are no measurements, and this is 
because it is entirely up to you and your desired color. Play around 
before you settle on the ratio perfect for your skin. Before you gift it
 to a girlfriend, remember to consider her skin tone and make necessary 
adjustments.

Homemade Solid Perfume</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Solid perfume is awesome, no question about it. Make your own with equal
 parts beeswax and carrier oil (we recommend two teaspoons of each) and 
essential oil. Melt the beeswax and carrier oil together then add 
essential oil until you get the scent you desire. For a stronger scent, try a sweet almond carrier oil; for a lighter scent, stick with a nice olive one.</div>

Homemade Floral Perfume</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Select your favorite flowers and collect their petals (about 1 ½ cups 
worth) then rinse away any nastiness and soak them for a few minutes. 
Now, take your lovely petals and set them in a cheesecloth-lined bowl, 
then add two cups of water, cover, and let them sit overnight. Next, 
grab the corners of the cheesecloth and carefully carry the petals to a 
saucepan. Simmer and let cool. Once it's cold you'll have a lovely Spring/Summer perfume!

Banish build-up with your favorite morning beverage. When your hair

rinse thoroughly. Now your hair will be just as perky as you are! 
Blondes, you usually have more fun, but this time you may want to avoid 
the party – the coffee grounds may darker certain lighter hair types.

mixture through coffee filters until no residue remains and transfer it 
to an awesome bottle for storage. This delicious scent will leave you 
fighting off more ladies than an Axe ad.

Face Off: Honey Face Mask </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></b>Have you ever noticed how smooth that little Honey Nut Cheerios bee’s 
face is? Maybe that’s because honey is a killer acne defense (or because
 bees don’t get acne, whatever). Spread a spoonful of honey on clean 
skin and lie still for 20 minutes. Wash off the stickiness with warm 
water and repeat the process weekly. Honey is, surprisingly, a natural bacteria fighter and moisturizer, so your acne won’t stand a chance!

Beautiful Goth Makeup

Gothier Than Thou 
</span></div>
<div class="desc" style="text-align: center;">
Wow, she's unnervingly beautiful in true goth fashion and the saran wrap
 dress completes the look!  This is when fun makeup experimentation 
comes into play.  Yes, goths can have fun!  Play around with colors, 
tones and textures to get the makeup effect you want. Don't be afraid to
 be daring, or to change it up!

Goth Beauty 
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Gothic fashion focuses on the past and goth culture follows. Although 
this look is romantic and highly stylized, it is perfectly edgy with 
inspired goth makeup influences.  The darkest of plum lip color almost 
appears blackened against her pale vampirish complexion.  Did you notice
 the halo of blue at the tips of her hair? Lovely.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Got Makeup With Color 
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Goth doesn't need to be within the color confines of black.  Why not 
express your inner macabre by exploring COLOR, especially with makeup? 
Notice how this gal's expansive bright eyeshadow blends with a darker 
blue shade under the eyes?  This mixed with kohl eyeliner inside the 
rims anchor the bright swaths of aqua into a more serious look.  A blue 
palette against red fiery hair..? She'd stop anyone dead in their 
tracks!!
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Cybergoth Girls
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Although cybergoths have broken from the brooding aspect of usual goths,
 what remains is a twist on aesthetics.  The emphasis on heavy eye 
makeup with no brows is a give-away signature look. They favor neon and 
contrasting colors, as exemplified here with platinum streaked hair and 
electric dark blue eyeshadow. Like the softer industrial sound of 
'Futurepop' music, cybergoths retain a "dark" edge, whilst being light.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Spider-leg Lashes
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Creepy crawly is the effect of these false lashes.  Notice how the eyes 
appear larger with the illusory trick of applying the lower lashes below
 the actual lid?  The look is a blend of beauty and of an uncanny human 
doll.  Here we have the best macabre makeup artist, Alex Box doing an 
amazing vintage tribute to photographer, Man Ray!
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Steampunk Goth 
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Steampunk goth fascination often follows science fiction set in the 
low-tech history of the past.  Often, it'll hark back to the Victorian 
era, which includes antiquated and refined fashions.  Makeup choices on 
the other hand, reflect the creative darkness of goth sensibilities.  
The pseudo heart shaped eyepatch and the decorative hair skull, are 
wonderfully droll with an ironic sense of humor.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Mistress of Darkness 
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
A Goth Makeup Tip: achieve the pale complexion of alluring Vampira by 
getting a foundation that is a few shades lighter than your regular skin
 tone. Start slowly and don't go over the top with the paleness 
straight-away. Instead gradually select paler foundations as you  get 
used to the look. Spare your family and friends the shock factor as you 
transition into a full-fleshed goth.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Christina Ricci's Dark Side
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
The diminutive actress has now gone glam and may no longer be the child 
of darkness. Still her otherworldly looks in this photo-shoot reveals 
that her goth charm remains. Berry stained lips and Baby Jane rouged 
cheeked are not typically goth, but they're not "Miss Beauty Contestant"
 either.  The wisps of mussy grey hair and a teardrop hint at horror, 
mystery and romance.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

The Beauty Of Goths 
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Goths pride on being outside the typical notions of beauty and this in 
itself is what's alluring!  Why not standout from the crowd with sherbet
 shaded eye makeup and oxblood lips?  Similar with applying regular 
makeup, know what facial features you want to highlight and draw 
positive attention to them. The goth look is easiest with pale skin, but
 if you have dark skin tone, that's good too.. simply exaggerate and  go
 darker on all colors!
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Gothic Lolita 
</span></div>
<div class="desc" style="text-align: center;">
This look often emulates a Victorian doll with feminine and elegant 
dress. Influenced by Japanese Harajuku styling, it's "girly", but 
different in that it goes further in subverting what is traditionally 
"sweet".  Goth Lolita often appears mime or clown-like with extra pale 
skin foundation, punctuated with heavy eye and lip makeup.  Did you 
notice, Goth Lolita so far is the only gal with eye-brows.. albeit 
fantastically extreme?!

Crazy Make-up Art

A Transhuman World
</span></div>
<div class="desc" style="text-align: center;">
We exist in a Transhuman world with our reliance on machine and powered 
energy. There's no better expression of this other than Illmasqua's 
futuristic fashions!   Here they've utilized Body Electrics' make-up 
inspired by, "kinetic energy and the fluidity of the body in motion."

Dia de los Muertos
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
It's glorious to celebrate our ancestors!  Many cultures share in this 
ritual, but here we have a fashion tribute for the Mexican holiday, 'Day
 of the Dead' (Dia de los Muertos).  We love this  pre-Columbian 
tradition that happens once a year in November!
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

The Animal Within
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
We all want to be heroic like the Avatar's Na'vi.  Yes it's true, and 
that admiration goes alongside her exotic tiger stripes and sultry good 
looks!  Here 'Make Up For Ever' artists channel Na'vi, and their inner 
animal at IMATS.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Alex Box, Make-up Artist I 
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
New body modifications for aesthetic reasons question, "what is beauty"?
  In Japan, a trend called 'bagel head' is created by inserting saline 
under the skin causing welts that are not too dissimilar to this design.
 Could "beauty" as we know it, be slowly turning upside down?
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Pop Art: Living & Walking 
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
The American pop artist, Roy Lichtenstein would be so proud to see his 
work emulated on people across the world.. or maybe not?  But isn't that
 what pop art is, popular culture and mass-production?  The make-up here
 looks so perfect, it actually appears like a virtual comic book.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Flower-Powered Eyes
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Pop Art is the flavor here with silk-flower petals used as eyelashes!  
There's loads of creativity going on in the makeup industry with new 
false eyelash materials, but did you know you can easily make you own? 
Everything from feathers to cut-up paper can be DIY-ed and glued onto 
fluttering eyelids!
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Alex Box, Makeup Artist II
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Animated drama stunningly drawn with black eyeliner!  We believe this 
work is amazing even while seen at a distance, and therefore it's 
perfect worn for a night out!  Alex Box must've been thinking of the 
vintage cartoons starring coquettish, Betty Bop.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Asymetrics
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
That "one-eye" catches our attention, but don't forgot to look at the 
other eye!  It can throw you off hiding under that pink silk-flower 
veil. This gorgeous design by Rebeca Saray Gude, a makeup artist living 
in Madrid, Spain can be seen in detail on the net.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Scary Or Cute?
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Have you seen this look amongst the Anime Cosplay crowd?  It's becoming 
quite popular with "how-to" make-up lessons on youtube.  The look is 
both amazing and disturbing when you actually see the real eyes open and
 close! Halloween is coming-up, and this could be a non-forgetable 
get-up that could have your friends both laughing and freaked!
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Goldfinger Can't Touch This!
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Photographer, Yulia Gorbachenko's series of female fashion is lux from 
head to toe, a decadent nouveau baroque! Gold eye-powder is used to 
cover the entire skin and one can't help but think of James Bond's 
secretary who died from asphyxiation after being covered with gold paint
 in Goldfinger! We love the hint of blue above the eyes, it's 
otherworldly.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

The Hypnotic Face 
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
The  upward movement with the blue eye shadow is simple yet dynamic.  Do
 you think she looks to be a superheroine, maybe Marvel's Nocturne?  The
 make-up artist, Perrine Soriano is amazing, but especially with the 
help of the perfect model.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Happy Zebra
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Doesn't she make you smile?!  We love that she's smiling back too! 
Although the model's face is much flatter than that of a Zebra's, the 
artist executed an amazing job! Unlike the film, "Splice", where  
human-animal hybrids become evil and terrorizes people, this Zebra-woman
 emulates simple delight.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Paper Eyelashes
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Notice the false paper lashes applied above and below the real lash 
line?  Valeria Lukyanova dubbed the "Human Barbie Doll" and "Real-life 
Anime Girl", Anastasiya Shpagina use this trick to enlarge the look of 
their eyes.  It seems to be catching on in the fashion editorial world 
as well.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

This Is Not Photoshop
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
We can't figure out the make-up effect here except that the artist 
emphasis is working with surface finishes and texture.  Like around the 
eyes and on the lips, it's extra shinny while the rest of the face is 
rather matte. Isn't it illusory and gorgeous?!
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Lost In Space
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Makeup artist, Dina Day from Vancouver, Canada, utilizes airbrushing to 
get the effect of smooth blended colors. When this painting method is 
used on the body, it can appear like "skintight" clothing.  Does it 
appear like the model is wearing a galactic face mask?
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Alex Box's Magic III
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
Ms. Box is a make-up artist on the biggest fashion designer list for 
runway shows and publication campaigns. Her ideas about make-up go 
beyond fashion, she says "I was an artist working primarily on 
installation using the body as the center of the art." Most known for 
her "in-human" make-ups, she creates a dream world of Burton-esque 
figures.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Transformer Makeup
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
This image is one of the more simple styling examples of New York 
photograher, Alexandra Leroy.  It's wonderfully hard-edged and graphic 
utilizing the paper Origami head and neck pieces.  Talented 
fashon-beauty photographers capture the face like landscapes and Leroy 
is one of the best.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Gothic Uni-brows 
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
We're wondering if the lacy design above the brow is a decal?  Different
 Goths express their styles through the techniques and colours of their 
make-up. The red and black palette may be harsh and a contrast to the 
popular "Soft Goth" look, but it's bewitching when framed with the fair 
hair.
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Zorro Would Be Jealous!
</span></div>
<div class="desc">
It's such a brilliant idea to do! Just "apply" a make-up mask directly 
around your eyes for that costume party or a mysterious night out at 
your favorite club. Wow, the purple glitter and sparkle really brings 
out this gal's blue eyes.  Beautiful!
</div>
<div class="image_wrapper">

Photographer, Jade Martin
</span></div>
<div class="desc" style="text-align: center;">
Are you reminded of Batman's seductive villain and eco-terrorist, Poison
 Ivy?  This fiery redhead isn't sporting botanic greenery, but instead 
fauna. Photographer Jade Martin's inventory is usually dominated by 
decadent goth fashions, so this is not his ordinary but is 
extraordinary.
