So ladies, you may realize that you only have a few minutes to get ready for work or class. You want to put on make up but it seems like you don’t have time. But there’s always time to add a like something to your look. Here are the steps to apply a five minute make up face that can have you from the shower and to the door in no time.

Step 1

Apply concealer.

Take your concealer and place it on any dark under eye circle and unwanted blemishes that you may have. This can be done by using your ring finger and patting it in (not rubbing) or a small concealer brush. Be sure to blend.

This step will help brighten and make you look fresh and awake.

Step 2

Apply powder.

Take a fluffy powder brush or use a cosmetic sponge and quickly apply the powder over the places you applied concealer to prevent shine and smearing. Also apply the powder to the t-zone; which is your forehead, down your nose, and the cheeks. These areas are prone to get oily through out the day.

Step 3

Apply eyeshadow.

You may not have time to get fancy with the eyeshadow so just stick to one color. A soft brown color is recommended because it looks natural and compliments any skin tone.

First apply a eyeshadow base, if you don’t have one get your concealer and place a little on your eye lids. This will allow your eyeshadow to stick and not fade through out the day.  Take a brush or those little sponge tip applicators and place color on the lids and crease of your eyes.

Step 4

Apply mascara.

You may not have time to try to get you eyeliner on perfectly, so just apply one or two coats of mascara.

Step 5

Finish with the lips.

Just put on your favorite lip gloss or lip color. Don’t put on something to bright in color because you’re going to work, not out to a club.

Skip foundation if you don’t need, and blush is also optional but good to add a little life and color to the cheeks. And there you go, the steps to a natural five minute face that will get you out the door on time.

Remember, make up is not used to create beauty, only to enhance it. Have fun ladies, stay beautiful and of course, chic.

Sooner or later every celebrity will have an issue with another. It was Tupac and Biggie, Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim, and now it seems to be between Chris Brown and former member of B2K, RazB. Wednesday, December 29, 2010, Brown and RazB were going back and forth on Twitter insulting each other.

RazB appeared to have started the argument by sending  comments to singer Rihanna, mentioning Chris Brown. This was clearly done for attention,in my opinion, seeing that RazB is working on a new solo album. Chris Brown was continuously called a woman beater and RazB was accused of being a homosexual due to his alleged molestation by Chris Stokes, ex- manager of  the groups B2K and IMX, formally known as Immature.

Some very disrespectful things were said to each other and both singers should take the blame. But now some people think Brown is homophobic. Yes, his comments were hurtful but I don’t think it was meant towards his fans, just to shut RazB up.

Now according to Necolebitchie.com, Chris Brown has now apologies for his behavior! I don’t believe it’s fair that he’s taking the entire blame once again.

Tell me what you think about this twitter beef.

When was the last time you went out with your friends just to enjoy the night? You took your time to put on your make up, do your hair, and slid on the baddest pair of heels you own, just  because you can. Has it been a while? Why?

There has been plenty of times when ladies I know have been in a rut, a single rut for that matter. Then when a suggestion is made to just “change something up” or “put on something special” their replies are “Who am I getting dressed up for?”

YOURSELF!

It’s time to pull your confidence out the little box you stored in the back of you closet, next to your little black dress and pictures of you and ex-boyfriend. There’s no need for a boyfriend in to make you feel good. In fact, no one is going to appreciate you more than you appreciate yourself.  Drake said it best, “you don’t do it for the man, men never notice, you just do it for yourself you’re the f*cking coldest.”

So ladies, let’s pull it together and do it for yourself.

I just really had to comment on Kanye West’s video for his new song “Power.”  First let say that I love that Kanye’s back out because I was definitely wondering where he’s been. He wasn’t making the best choices, so maybe a break was necessary. Power is a good song but the video is a little creepy, in my opinion.

So the video just starts off with Kanye just staring you. The camera starts to pull back and you see more than what you excepted.  There’s women with horns and and men slowly leaping in the air to attack each other.  There is so much going in this video, I can’t even explain it all. Then on top of everything Kanye doesn’t move at all in the whole video. It just reminds me of a painting that’s slowly moving and you can’t stop staring at it.

This video was definitely not made to give people a happy feeling, especially since he only plays 1 minute and 43 seconds of the song itself then it’s just over. I would love to know what was going through Kanye’s head.

Anyway look for yourself.

Reality TV has really taken off over the past few years. America loves to watch other people’s lives. There’s shows that are just made to follow other people’s drama. Some shows want to help people find their so called soul mates. Other shows have people who want to display their talents, whether they’re good or not.  Either way, there can be ups and downs while being a reality TV star.

Pros:

1) Everyone knows your name.

Before they were famous, they were just another person walking down the street. Now we can watch them on week nights for 30 minutes before we go to bed.

2) Opens opportunities.

These stars could have different offers like getting interviewed, write a book like Lauren did. (The Hills) Or have their own show, like Miss New York from Flavor of Love.

3) Money Money Money…

Usually after the first season and the show becomes a hit, then the money comes rolling in. Each cast member of the Jersey Shore gets paid $10,000 per episode just for smiling and fighting in front of the camera. Ain’t that a b*tch! (Snooki gets paid a little more.)

Cons.

1) Always in the public’s eye.

These reality star will rarely have privacy. They will always have to worry about how they appear to everyone else.

2) Possible loss of friends and family.

The price of fame can be high. The same people they had next to them in the beginning may be no where to be found at the end.

3) 5 minutes of fame.

Fame can be given to them just as fast as it can be taken away. If reality stars don’t use their resources to stay in the business, it will be over before they know it.

So the next time you watch your favorite reality stars, just ponder on the fact that in a year and a half from now they can become even bigger or become  nobodies.  Again!
