[H1396]How To Make Makeup Look Natural

by Susan Schlenger, Sus

The key is to make it look as natural looking as possible. Observing those found in nature will allow you to see how those created in home landscapes should look.

Although you will see some water features where the water flows gently over rocks, many have very dramatic waterfall spillways. A waterfall spillway often is created by a large flat rock, which is built up beneath it by smaller round stones. Picture a step with an overhang. The higher up the flat stone is from the level beneath it, the higher the waterfall.

These flat stones might be pieces of bluestone. They also might be thick slabs of fieldstone. There is no reason why you can't mix them as this might occur in our natural environment also. Another aspect of waterfalls in nature is that they generally will have more than one spillway.

The sides of the waterfalls are often made of different sized stones. Larger ones are mixed in with medium, small and even pebble sized rocks.

Plants are usually incorporated into waterfall designs. In the woods, soil deposits in and near the falls would have created pockets for plant seeds to lodge. Plants that are suited to the specific conditions of the area will grow well. If the waterfall is in a damp, shady area, you might find such plants as ferns. If the area happens to be sunny, those plants that like the sun will survive. Plants that are indigenous to the area will be part of the landscape as that is where they grow best.

All of these ideas can be used for various types of waterfalls. One thing that is good to remember is that all waterfall designs look best when it appears that water is tumbling down from a higher elevation. You don't want an unnatural mound sitting there. This is true whether you are creating a waterfall for a swimming pool, pond or stream.

If you are lucky enough to have property that slopes down towards the area you are going to be viewing the waterfall from, you will have the best type of water feature. Sometimes you can tweak your viewpoint to take advantage of this. For example, if your land slopes towards your house, you will be able to see the waterfall clearly from your home. However, if your land slopes towards the rear yard, this is not so. In this case, you might want to add a special sitting area in which you can view the waterfall from.

There are many different stone types and colors. Some are fieldstone, found in the woods. Others come from mines. I mentioned above mixing different kinds of flat stones. Mixing stone types or colors can be done, although the majority should be similar. If you think about mountains and geology, similar stones collect in certain areas. Sizes, however, should definitely be mixed.

These are things that you can mimic when creating your own waterfall. Try to create your waterfall as you might see it in the woods or mountains. It will be more successful this way.

Apart from people who use them from medical reasons, people use wigs to change their daily appearance. The hairstyle possibilities are endless: short hair to long hair, blonde to brown, or curly to straight. This styling flexibility is why more and more people choose products such as Jon Renau wigs over expensive perms and hair colorings that may damage your hair. Although they can be a bit pricy, waiting for a wig sale can make them more easily accessible

You can choose a wig that looks extremely natural, or specifically go for the “fake look". But whatever you do, you should know how to use a wig. Once you have mastered that you can start styling it anyway you want, without damaging it. If you live in an area of extreme heat, you should look for wigs and adhesives that are specially designed for sensitive skin. Many brands have product lines tailored toward those with sensitive skin.

You can use a wig cap to keep your hair in place and make it less noticeable. Wig caps are snug-fitting, skin colored caps that hold your existing hair in place and help disguise it under the wig. If you have purchased a synthetic wig, do not try to style it with heat (hair dryer, curling iron) –the hair will melt. Your best bet is to buy a synthetic wig in the exact style you like. With proper care, synthetic wigs can hold their style for long durations of time. Quality synthetic wigs from Jon Renau are held in particular high regard.

When you buy from a wigs sale, be aware of the brand being sold, otherwise the quality may vary widely. The hair may be heavy and of poor quality, or the cap can be too large. Usually price is an accurate indicator of wig quality. If you absolutely must style the wig, consider a human hair wig, which gives you the ultimate in styling flexibility.

However, if you do purchase a human hair wig and you do decide to style it, there is one thing you should not do – do not give it a haircut! At least, don’t try to cut it yourself because unlike our real hair, wig hair won't grow back if you cut it too short or in the wrong place! There are some trendy Jon Renau wigs that come in so many lengths and styles that you practically wear them right out of box. But if you still want that haircut, look for salons that specialize in customize wigs and go there, wearing your wig!

The reason many wigs look fake is that they are not made with 100% human Remy hair. Most wigs are machine made with synthetic hair. A synthetic wig may cheaper, but generally don't last long as long as human hair. Although human hair wigs have a higher initial cost, they look excellent and do not need as much delicate care as the synthetic ones. Specialized brands, like Jon Renau wigs offer the best of both natural and synthetic wigs.

If you have been using wigs for quite some time, you may have extra wigs that you do not need. Instead of throwing these away, you can donate them to charities who in turn give them to sufferers of hair-loss conditions. You can donate both human hair and synthetic wigs, as long as they are in a good condition.
