Why Scrunchies Work Wonders for Thick Hair

  Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels Thick hair comes with its fair share of challenges, especially when it's time to look for the right hair accessory that not only conforms to the width of the strands, but also maintains its durability. For those with luscious locks, the struggle to find a reliable and comfortable hair tie is real. Read on to discover why scrunchies are not just a fashion statement but a practical and effective solution for those with thick hair.  Gentle Hold One of the primary concerns for those with thick hair is the likeliness of damage and breakage caused by hair ties that are either too thin or too tight. Likewise, traditional elastics, such as the classic rubber band, can be incredibly harsh, leading to stress on the hair shaft and the possibility of extensive damage from pulling and tugging on the band. Scrunchies, with their soft and elastic fabric, provide a gentler hold. The larger surface area distributes the pressure more evenly, reducing the risk o

Why Is Eye Makeup Important?

The first thing you notice when looking at another individual is the eyes. The eyes provide a source of communication from one person to the next. You can essentially determine how someone is feeling at the moment by just gazing into his or her eyes. In addition to being a form of communication, scientific research suggests that the main attraction of one's face centers around the eyes. For this reason, among others, eye makeup is important when you're looking to create your best appearance.

Most people tend to have a darker, more shallow shade of skin around the eyes. So naturally, enhancing the look of the eyes and camouflaging any imperfections will present a more attractive appearance. When visiting boutique makeup brands, you'll find a variety of eyeshadow colors as well as eyeliners, as these two makeup staples are important for your look. Without them, your face appears bland and dull looking. 





In addition to eyeshadow and eyeliner, concealer is important to create a more even-toned look. Concealer can be applied to any area of your face that has imperfections prior to adding the foundation. 

Natural Look
Depending on the look you're trying to achieve, there are a number of eye makeup trends that'll suit your intentions. The natural look is one that is more inconspicuous, the one that is created with soft, natural colors that blend well with your skin tone. This is your everyday look, one that works for any event or occasion. 

Smoky Eye
The smoky eye look offers a more mysterious and distinctive appearance. It's usually created with a mixture of dark eyeshadow that's blended with lighter, more vibrant colors. To top off the look, a dark-colored eyeliner is needed. 

Cat-Eye
The cat-eye makeup look is one that's a staple in the beauty industry. Using a dark-colored eyeliner, you're simply bringing the color upwards from the outer corners of the eyes to resemble the look of a cat. The cat-eye makeup trend is bold and vivacious. It's certainly the look that attracts attention.

Shimmery
Shimmery eye makeup is the look that's sassy and cute. You're essentially creating a glamorous, eye-catching appearance using sparkling eyeshadow with vibrant, metallic colors.

Gradient
Similar to the smokey eye, the gradient eye makeup look blends a combination of dark and light colors to create a bold appearance. Achieving this look involves applying the medium shade and blending with a darker shade to complement the look. A light shade covers the top to create a dramatic effect.
