Rangi sahihi wakati wa kujipodoa

YAPO mambo mabalimbali katika tasnia ya urembo hasa katika vipodozi yanayopaswa kuzingatiwa katika kuboresha muonekano wa mtu.
Moja ya mambo hayo ni ujuzi na uelewa wa kutumia rangi katika kujipodoa kwani ni wanawake wachache wenye ujuzi huu.
Katika makala hii, nitakuelezea namna ya kuchanganya na kutofautisha rangi za vipodozi, lengo likiwa ni kuboresha muonekano wako.
Uchanganyaji wa rangi za vipodozi ni muhimu sana kwani katika kujipodoa, rangi zote za vipodozi unavyopaka zinatakiwa zioane ili kuleta muonekano ulio sawa na wa kueleweka.
Kwanza kabisa unatakiwa uwe makini katika kuoanisha rangi za vipodozi pamoja na rangi ya ngozi yako, hivyo katika hili unatakiwa kuwa na ujuzi maalumu ili usije ukafanya makosa na kuharibu muonekano wako.
Pia inabidi ufahamu hatua za upakaji vipodozi ili usije ukafanya vipodozi vingine visionekane katika uso wako.
Namna ya kuoanisha na kutofautisha rangi
Siku zote vipodozi vyako lazima viendane na mavazi yako ili kuleta maana zaidi kwa mfano, mara nyingi rangi ya mdomo ‘lipstick’ huendana na vazi lako wakati shedo ‘eye shadow’ zinatofautiana.

Kwa nguo za pinki
Katika mavazi haya, unatakiwa kupaka rangi ya mdomo yenye rangi ya pinki ambayo itaendana sawasawa na mavazi yako huku ukichanganya na shedo ‘eyeshadow’, inaweza kuwa ya rangi ya bluu ili kuitofautisha na mavazi yako, hapo utakuwa sawa katika kanuni za urembo.
Vazi la kijani
katika vazi hili unatakiwa kupaka rangi ya mdomo yenye rangi ya kahawia huku ukichanganya na shedo ya rangi ya kijani au kahawia iliyoingiliana na pinki au rangi ya machungwa.
Kwa vazi la njano au kahawia
Katika vazi hili unatakiwa kupaka ‘lipstick’ ya rangi ya kahawia iliyokolea, kwa upande wa shedo waweza kupaka ya rangi ya dhahabu.
Kwa vazi la bluu
Katika vazi hili unatakiwa kupaka ‘lipstick’ yenye rangi ya pinki huku ukipaka shedo ya rangi ya bluu kwa mtindo huu utakuwa mwenye kuvutia siku zote.

Like her House of Harlow and Winter Kate lines, the threads will give a nod to the 1970s with a chic, bohemian vibe.

ANGALIA MITINDO ILIYO KWENYE CHATI KWA MWANAMKE NA BINTI WA KIAFRIKA

Foot Soldiers

Bargain Foot Rub:
Feet Island
166 Mott St., nr. Broome St.; 212-226-6328
The massage at the aptly named Feet Island, a longtime favorite of those wearing out their soles in Soho, isn’t exactly pleasant. The pressure they apply to the arch hurts in the best possible way, and the calf rub is ideal only if you like a firm hand ($20 for 30 minutes, $30 for an hour), but your feet will feel pain-free the next day. The ambience—leather lounge chairs, a fish tank—is best enjoyed with your eyes closed.

Foot-Product Mecca:
Zitomer
969 Madison Ave., nr. 76th St.; 212-737-5560
The outstanding local pharmacy, which opened in 1950 and specializes in hard-to-find toiletries, is where to buy all the foot-care products you’ll want to remove from your medicine cabinet before hosting parties. Zitomer stocks everything from bacteria-fighter Barielle Fungus Rx Antifungal Solution ($18) to Tripod Labs Plantarstat Wart Remover ($16). Plus, they carry Stiletto Rx gel pads for sky-high shoes ($14), Z New York nail polish with an LED light on top of the bottle to help with DIY pedicures ($12.50), and Diamancel files ($30 to $49), the best callus scrapers on the market.

Aesthetic Podiatrist:
Dr. Suzanne Levine
Institute Beaute, 885 Park Ave., at 78th St., Ste. 103; 212-535-0229
“We treat the foot the way we treat the face,” says Levine, whose services, like foot facials, include an acid peel and microdermabrasion for rough skin plus reflexology ($325). There’s also “Pillows for Feet,” Sculptra filler injected into the balls of the foot for extra padding (from $2,000), as well as laser treatments that can whiten toenails or get rid of discoloration and scars from corns or bunions ($225).

Toe-Hair Removal:
Bliss 57
12 W. 57th St., nr. Fifth Ave., third fl.; 877-862-5477
The powerful Lumenis One laser, which uses heat to zap follicles at their base, gets rid of hobbit feet in five sessions, instead of the more typical (not to mention painful) six, and has a cooling tip to ease swelling and redness ($152 for one session, $608 for five). Each appointment lasts about fifteen minutes, and you’ll get all of the calming benefits of a spa environment, but with a plastic surgeon, Dr. Cap Lesesne, on call.

---

Medicurist:
Clive Rousseau
Lila Salon, 105 W. 55th St., nr. Sixth Ave., Ste. LD; 718-473-2348
According to Rousseau, a “medicure,” or medical pedicure, is to a standard spa service what a thorough car tune-up is to a drop-in oil change. The nail technician, who makes house calls in Manhattan for the same price as in-salon appointments ($125) and wears a miner’s light as he works, takes your feet and nails through an extensive two-hour cleaning, sanding, buffing, and shaping session. He also removes any ingrown nails or fungus and finishes with a massage and polish.

Fit Magicians:
Eneslow Shoes
470 Park Ave. S., at 32nd St.; 212-477-2300
Before throwing out the pinchy shoes you’ve never quite managed to break in, take them to the self-proclaimed “foot comfort center.” A staff of certified pedorthists will readjust the offending footwear: relasting for wider fit, adding padding or arch support, and trying other tricks to make life easier on your feet but no less stylish. (Alas, if a shoe is too tight or too short, it may be beyond help.) If you’d rather buy a new pair, Eneslow will make you a custom set or match you with a classic style from brands like Durea or Birkenstock. They also sell inserts such as orthotics, heel lifts, and bunion sleeves.

Facial-Foot-Massage Combo:
Erica Marton
Face Place, 425 W. 14th St., nr. Ninth Ave., third fl.; 212-367-8200
The signature facial ($140) here involves a thorough punishing via heat lamp, galvanic current, and extractions, all of which can be made better by a foot massage from Marton during the treatment (an additional $55). The feet are elevated with an extra-large bolster, cleaned with hot towels, and rubbed with a homemade cucumber, shea butter, and aloe cream. Marton also has a private room where she gives immaculate pedicures.

Foot-Treatment Temple:
Jin Soon Hand and Foot Spa
421 E. 73rd St., nr. York Ave.; 212-249-9144
The average foot bath with a few sad suds is blown out of the water by the soaks at this cozy, wood-floored salon, all done with natural ingredients. Developed by Jin Soon Choi, who regularly pretties nails for fashion shoots in Vogue and W, the plunges vary from purely pleasant (rose petals) to perfect for summer (sliced cucumber, mint leaves, and peppermint oil) to intensely silky (clay and fig) ($32 to $55). For additional intervention, there are three-layer, skin-softening paraffin wraps and callus-removing treatments ($15 to $60).
