1. Introduction to Makeup for Beginners

Makeup is a fun way to express yourself and enhance your natural beauty! We know makeup looks overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Knowing the basics is key to making makeup easy peasy. Here are the essentials to get you started. We will break it down further, don’t worry: - Foundation - Evens out skin tone. - Concealer - Hides blemishes and dark circles. - Eyeshadow - Adds color to your lids. - Mascara - Lengthens your lashes. - Lipstick or Lip Gloss - Adds a pop of color and shine to your lips. Before applying makeup, you will want to have a good skincare routine down. Using moisturizers and primers makes a huge difference for a smooth application. Pro Tip - Apply all your makeup in light layers - This isn’t the 90s 😉 The most important thing is to have fun. When you feel more comfortable, try new colors and techniques! Makeup should reflect your personality so play around and try new looks that make you feel fabulous. Your face is your canvas! 💖✨

2. Essential⁢ Makeup Tools and Products

The right tools make all the difference when starting! Throw away those silly small eyeshadow sponges that come with the palette (unless you’re being creative). Start with a variety of brushes and sponges. Each of these have a place for eyes, face, lips, etc. Grab a beauty blender for a natural glow! You’ll also need great skin products. A good primer preps your skin and extends wear. You’ll want to grab a palette with a variety of colors for your eyes, lips, and cheeks. Finally, check out a few essentials like mascara, eyeliner and a few lip colors and you’re ready to go from day to night. You’re all set to glow! 💄✨ Great brush kit!

3. Preparing Your Skin for⁣ Makeup

Start with a clean slate. Make sure to cleanse your skin to remove all the dirt and oil from your face. You can gently exfoliate your skin to make a smoother surface. This will help minimize dry patches so makeup can glide on smoothly. Make sure to hydrate with a good moisturizer suited to your skin type for a comfortable base. Here are some great options for different skin types: Cleanser - Oily/Combination: Skin Script Raspberry Refining Cleanser 6.5 oz - Dry: Skin Beauty Chamomile Cleansing Milk | Cleanser & Makeup Remover  - Sensitive: Rhonda Allison Herbal AHA Cleanser - 4 oz (R04)  Next, apply a primer to help your makeup application. A primer is a barrier that extends makeup wear, but also blurs skin imperfections. Choose one that targets your skin concerns – mattifying for oily skin or illuminating for dry skin. Let your moisturizer and primer sit for a few minutes before applying foundation. This prep will give you the perfect base for your makeup to shine! ✨ Primer - Oily/Combination: Youngblood Complexion Correcting Primer  - Dry: Skin Beauty Lemon Water Gel Cream | Hyaluronic Acid Treatment  - Sensitive: Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Prime Time BB Primer Cream SPF 30 - 1 oz 

4. Step⁤ 1: ​Foundation Application

Let’s start with foundation application. Start by choosing the right formula for your skin type and coverage. Consider: - Skin Type: liquid for dry skin and powder for oily skin. Just keep “opposites attract” in mind. - Coverage Level: This is solely up to you. Decide if you want sheer, medium or full coverage! - Finish: Dewy or matte to suit your overall look. Use your preferred tool: a brush, sponge or your fingers. Something to keep in mind is to apply the foundation in small amounts. Make sure to blend towards the hairline and jawline for a seamless finish. If you need extra coverage build it up gradually for a natural look. You’re on your way to a great base! 🌟

5. Step 2: Concealer⁤ and Highlighting

When your foundation is set the next step is to brighten and balance your complexion with concealer and highlighter. Begin by using concealer on areas that need extra coverage—under your eyes, blemishes or redness. Use a small fluffy brush or your ring finger to tap the product in gently—this helps avoid rubbing. Choose a shade that’s one or two tones lighter than your foundation for a natural brightening effect. Now let’s add some glow. Apply on these areas for definition: - Cheekbones - Bridge of the nose - Centre of the forehead - Cupid’s bow Use a fan brush or your fingers to blend the highlighter for a natural look. Cream or liquid gives a dewy finish, powder gives a more defined glow. Both options are great and don’t overpower your makeup! ✨ Check out this tutorial for more details on how to contour and highlight for your face shape!

6. Step 3: ‌Eyeshadow Basics

Ready to slay the eyeshadow game? Start by choosing the right brushes: fluffy ones for blending and flat ones for packing on color. Don’t forget to experiment with powder, cream, and liquid shadows—each has its own flair! We recommend starting with a powder eyeshadow first. As you get more comfortable try out some cream and liquid eyeshadows. Next, pick a color palette that vibes with your skin tone. You'll want to always have neutrals on hand but go bold when you want to make a statement! Layering is where the magic happens: - Apply a base color - Deepen the crease - Highlight the brow bone and inner corners. With a little practice, you’ll blend like a pro and create eye looks that truly shine! 👁️✨

7. Step 4: ⁢Eyeliner and Mascara Application

Eyeliner and mascara are your BFFs if you’re looking for definition! Start with an eyeliner. You can choose between liquid, gel or pencil. - Liquid Eyeliner - Gel Eyeliner - Pencil Eyeliner For a classic look go for black or dark brown to define your lash line. Here are some quick tips: - Start at the inner corner and draw along your lash line. - For a wing, extend the liner outward with a small flick that follows your eye’s curve. - Build up the color for a bolder look! Now let’s get those lashes going with mascara! A few swipes of volumizing mascara will do the trick. To avoid clumps, follow these steps: - Wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes and sweep it up. - For drama apply a second coat while the first is still a bit wet. - Pro tip: Use a clean spoolie to separate any clumps.

8. Step 5: Blush and ⁢Bronzer Application

Blush and bronzer are essentials for illuminating your face! Start with the bronzer and apply where the sun would hit your face. Bronzer is like faux-sunshine in a bottle! Focus on these areas: - Forehead: Dust lightly along the hairline. - Cheekbones: Sweep just below the apples of your cheeks. - Jawline: Define by applying underneath the jaw. Next is time for blush! The right shade will brighten your complexion instantly. Pro-tip, smile gently to find the apples of your cheeks and apply lightly with a soft motion for a natural finish. Blend the bronzer and blush together for a seamless transition. It can be easy to overdo blush, so be careful! Now you’re done! ✨

9. Step 6: Lip Makeup Essentials

Here’s how to get the perfect lip look! For a smooth surface, you can exfoliate your lips before applying lipstick. I always like to begin with a nourishing lip balm to keep my lips hydrated and flake free. This step is important for lip makeup. Choosing the right color is key - We have a whole blog post about this here! These are the must-haves for your lip collection: - Lipstick: Choose a shade that suits your skin tone, matte, satin or glossy finish. - Lip Liner: Defines your lips, prevents feathering and extends wear. - Gloss: Adds dimension and shine for a fuller look. - Liquid Lipstick: For long lasting color! Don’t be afraid to be bold! 💋✨

10.⁤ Complete the Look: Setting⁤ Your Makeup

Once you’re done with your makeup it’s time to set it! Use a setting spray to lock it in and add a refreshing finish. Choose a matte spray for oily skin or a dewy one for dry or combination skin and hold it about 8-10 inches away. This is not essential but comes in handy for long days. With these steps your makeup will last all day! ✨💖

11. Common⁢ Mistakes ​to Avoid

When you start to get into makeup it’s important to avoid common mistakes. Here are some key tips to remember: - Planning: It might sound silly, but starting with a clear routine will help you prevent mistakes! Know the steps and the products you’ll use so you don’t get confused. It’ll take some time to get into a routine, but practice makes perfect. - Prep Your Skin: Skipping skincare can lead to uneven application. Always cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize before putting makeup on. Don’t forget to wash the makeup off, too! - Choose the Right Products: Don’t forget your skin type! Choose products that suit your skin for the best results. Sometimes this takes some time to figure out, but it’s worth your time. - Application Techniques: Don’t rush! Use the right tools (brushes, sponges) and take your time to blend. Eventually you’ll be a master! - Setting Your Makeup: Lock in your look with a setting spray or powder to set and prevent shine. So, there you have it! 💄✨

12. Conclusion: ⁢Embrace ‍Your Unique ⁤Beauty

In a world that tries to fit you into a narrow box, remember true beauty is about being you! Your features are unique and gorgeous. Be what makes you different—self acceptance is powerful! Here are some ways to celebrate your beauty – we all need a pep talk sometimes! - Self-Love: Treat yourself like the rockstar you are! - Challenge the Norms: Redefine beauty on your own terms. Makeup is the perfect place to do this! - Positive Vibes Only: Surround yourself with good people who uplift your spirits. - Show Off Your Uniqueness: Experiment and have fun with makeup! Being yourself is not only good for your self-image but also good for others. Let’s celebrate YOU! 🌟💖

もともとは10年ほど前にTumblrにすごくハマっていて。いろんな人をフォローしたらかっこいい写真や色が洪水のように出てきて、もう自分で絵を描かなくて良いじゃん、ってなったんです。それで何年も画像を集めていって、そこで集まった色のイメージやモチーフ、レンズの距離感など画面構成を抽象化して、いまの感覚にアウトプットしています。画像の持つ情報量というものが作品の影響になっていますね。

よく「発明は1人でできる。製品化には10人かかる。量産化には100人かかる」とも言われますが、実際に、私はネオジム磁石を1人で発明しました。製品化、量産化については住友特殊金属の仲間たちと一緒に、短期間のうちに成功させました。82年に発明し、83年から生産が始まったのですから、非常に早いです。そしてネオジム磁石は、ハードディスクのＶＣＭ(ボイスコイルモーター)の部品などの電子機器を主な用途として大歓迎を受け、生産量も年々倍増して、2000年には世界で1万トンを超えました。

The Delian League, Part 2: From Eurymedon to the Thirty Years Peace (465/4-445/4 BCE)

This text is part of an article series on the Delian League.

The second phase of the Delian League's operations begins with the Hellenic victory over Mede forces at Eurymedon and ends with the Thirty Years Peace between Athens and Sparta (roughly 465/4 – 445/4 BCE).The Greek triumph at Eurymedon resulted in a cessation of hostilities against the Persians, which lasted almost six years. Whether or not this peace or truce followed from some formal treaty negotiated by Cimon, son of Miltiades, remains unknown.

Nevertheless, the Greek success at Eurymedon proved so decisive, the damage inflicted on Persia so great, and the wealth confiscated so considerable that an increasing number of League members soon began to wonder if the alliance still remained necessary. The Persians, however, had not altogether withdrawn from the Aegean. They still had, for example, a sizeable presence in both Cyprus and Doriscus. They also set about to build a great number of new triremes.

REDUCTION OF THASOS & THE BATTLE OF DRABESCUS

A quarrel soon erupted between the Athenians and Thasians over several trading ports and a wealth-producing mine (465 BCE). Competing economic interests compelled the rich and powerful Thasos to revolt from the Delian League. The Thasians resisted for almost three years. When the polis finally capitulated, the Athenians forced Thasos to surrender its naval fleet and the mine, dismantle defensive walls, pay retributions, and converted the future League contributions to monetary payments: 30 talents annum. Some League members became disaffected with the Athenian reduction of Thasos. Several poleis observed the Athenians had now developed a penchant for using "compulsion." They started to see Athens acting with both "arrogance and violence." On expeditions, furthermore, the other members felt they "no longer served as equals" (Thuc. 1.99.2).

The Athenians, meanwhile, attempted to establish a colony on the Strymon river to secure timber from Macedon, which shared its borders with the west bank. The location also proved a critical strategic point from which to protect the Hellespont. The Thracians, however, repelled the League forces at Drabescus. The Athenians soon realized the threats from both Thrace and Macedon made permanent settlements in the region difficult as they were essentially continental powers, and the League fleet could not reach them easily. Designs for the region, however, would not change, and the Athenians would return there again.

The Delian League had by this time demonstrated an inherent conflict from its beginnings: on the one hand, it engaged in heroic struggles against the Mede and extended its influence, reaping enormous benefits (especially for its poorer members). On the other hand, it also suppressed its members and soon demanded obedience from them.

The League engaged from the outset in a form of soft imperialism, collecting and commanding voluntary naval contributions and tribute while Athens used those resources and led all expeditions, enforcing continued membership but also showing little or no interest to interfere with the internal mechanisms of any member polis (unless it openly rebelled).
