Don't wear too much of anything such as: i) Eyeliner: dark, thick eyeliner will make you look overdone and will ruin the rest of your makeup. ii) Mascara: too much mascara looks fake and will flake.

If it seems too early to be thinking about the January sales, think again! In this bleak financial market , the sales will be starting much earlier this year as retailers try to tempt us to part with our money. So what is there to think about? How do you plan for the sales? If you usually wander around them aimlessly picking up a few 'bargains' here and there, things that you don't really need and later regret buying, read on... 1.

Before crafting handmade jewellery two things, casting and making of jewellery by hand, must be understood. This will help you to decide whether making of jewellery by hand is worse or better, than casting. The handcrafted jewellery is designed by hammering, bending, twisting and soldering the metal in desired form. For instance, while making a plain gold wedding ring the jeweller will start off by having a lump of gold metal in an undefined shape and will melt it down. Then he will pour the melted gold into a steel container which will harden the liquid for giving desired shape. The liquid will be turned into a thick bar. Then jeweller will roll the piece up to a time that he will finally get a long flat piece. After that he will cut down the pieces in a length that can be easily fit in customer's finger. In the next stage he will hammer the piece to give a shape of ring and will join the both corners to create a ring. After that, he will give it a nice circular shape and polish i...

Here's an important fact to know about the gold used in fine jewelry. Gold doesn't have to be yellow. "Real" gold comes in myriad colors. By mixing other metals to yellow gold in varying percentages and combinations, jewelers can create a rainbow of colored gold alloys. In the case of black gold, a number of scientific processes are used to create this unusual variation. White Gold - Nickel and palladium are added to yellow gold to produce a white (or gray) color. Rose/Pink Gold - Copper is added to yellow gold to produce a reddish tint. Green Gold - Silver is added to yellow gold to produce a green shade. Purple Gold - Aluminum is added to yellow gold to achieve a violet tint. Blue Gold - Indium is added to yellow gold to produce a blue color. Black Gold - Black gold is created through a number of chemical processes. (Editor's note: Put on your science cap, because this gets a little complicated.) Among the techniques used are electroplating with rhodi...
