Aren't we all the same...All Human?

We should be living in a civilized world. A world that deems everybody equal. Even if we look different we are still the same. Now I believe that, but not everyone does.
Conflict based on discrimination and race has always been there. I, however, feel that we should have come a long way by now and should be able to accept each other after all if we were in that situation wouldn't we want to be accepted? Now I realize that some of this conflict is too much and action needs to be taken. An example of this is ISIS. What do they think they're doing by resorting to such violence they are only fueling people's hatred toward them, their "religion" and their race. Because of what they are doing millions of innocents are suffering the consequences. It is for this matter that I appeal to you. Think differently. Accept the fact that no matter what we look like or what we believe in we are all the same all equal. Be accepting, live and let live. What such extremists are doing is wrong but we shouldn't put everyone in the same boat. We need to realize that stereotypes are wrong there is good and bad in everyone and in every country, culture, etc. We cannot condemn someone for something they have not done. We need to accept. We need to be human and not become monsters too by returning the bad that has been done to others, innocents.
This might be cliche but as Gandhi once said: "You need to be the change you want to see in this world."

Korean Makeup

Lately Korean culture has received a great boost and become quite popular. This because of:
(a) Technological advancements
(b) K-Pop ie the famous Korean pop music
(c) K-dramas....I might be slightly addicted
(d) Makeup trends

For a great makeup look you can check some of these videos out :

And then you can also check out Pony's coloumn on InsiteTv on Youtube

Okay now for my take on it.

So starting with a clean face apply moisturizer.
Then follow up by using an illuminating base/primer. A good one I like is the L'Oreal Lumi Magique.
Now either apply a BB Cream, or spot treat any problematic areas or apply a foundation that has a dewy finish. For this look we cannot use powder or anything matte. However, if you have oily skin apply a little of translucent powder on your T-Zone.
How concentrate on your brows. If you feel yours are quite good than good for you I however need to fill mine in. To achieve a softer look use powder. The I generally tend to also use a tinted brow gel in a shade that is lighter than the colour of my brows.
Now moving on to eyes. First use a primer or a good concealer on your eyelid and follow in with a light sparkly or pearly colour such as a champagne or a soft pink. Also add a bit of a taupe or browm colour in the crease BUT keep it light.
Now add eyeliner. They tend to flick theirs out. For a sexier look do a cat flick for a more innocent look drag the line slightly downwards. 
Add a coat of black mascara and after it dries apply false lashes if you want to.
Now using the same illuminating primer or a liquid highlighter highlight the cheekbones and any other feature you would like to bring out.
Add a soft pink or coral colour on the apples of the cheeks, preferably a cram blush.
Finish the look off by using a tint/stain/lipstick at the center of the lips and blending it slightly SLIGHTLY out. You need to create a soft gradient effect. The lip colour can either be pink,red or orange, as these seem the most popular colours.

Hope this was helpful! Remember beauty is subjective so be yourself and let that shine through. Make up is just a tool not a lifestyle or mask.
Love

ManiMonday1

So this year I decided to differentiate the content I post. One of the things I wanted to include was ManiMonday were I show you my week's new diy manicure and describe how and what I did to do it.
This week I eanted to experiment a bit so using a dotting tool I created a dripping paint design on my pinkie and a flower and two dots on my index finger. As for the rest I painted them a nice metalic green. Also after the designs were dry I used a top coat to protect my design and as for the others I used two coats of polish.
Simple and cute nails :)
Hope you like these new posts. 
Love Ver.
