[W430]What French Women Know

by Ursula Mclean, Urs

There are thousands of different varieties of cosmetics for you to choose for your daily wear, as well as a million different ways to apply them. It’s no wonder why so many women are confused on how to properly apply their cosmetics. You can purchase the most expensive, top-quality cosmetics available, but if you don’t know how apply it, the end result�"your look�"will not be a positive one.

Color Selection One of the most important aspects to buying cosmetics is to know the colors that will enhance your skin tone. Different skin tones and skin types need different cosmetic colors in order to enhance their beauty, so what works on one person may not work on you. The first step here is to determine what your skin tone is, which is a simple process. If you tan easily and do not burn, then you most likely have a yellow to olive undertone. If you tend to not tan or burn first and then tan, then you most likely have a rosy or ruddy skin tone.

Remember, the determination of skin tone is most important when it comes to choosing foundation. This is the base so you need it to match as close as possible to your natural skin color. The ultimate goal is to use foundation to neutralize the undertones that are present in your skin. You will most likely have to try a few different shades before you find the one that is an exact match to your natural skin tone. Eyes

Buying the right colored cosmetics for your eyes is important, as you want to choose the colors and hues that will enhance and enlighten the natural color of your eyes. People with green eyes, for instance, can wear shades of purple because this significantly brings out the green color, thereby making their eyes look brighter and larger. If your eyes are blue, you can wear brown-colored cosmetics. Warm shades are going to contrast with the coolness of the blue, making them stand out. Green- and gold-colored cosmetics both work very well with brown eyes, as both shades pick up the colored flecks found in brown eyes.

There are even specific cosmetics colors available that work well on hazel eyes. Deep green and pale yellow, in particular, will make hazel eyes pop. The idea here is to apply the shadow of your choice, and then use a liner brush dipped in water to line the outside of the eye to enhance the hazel color as much as possible. By wearing purple or green, you bring out the green in hazel eyes, and by wearing gold, brown, and blue, you bring out the brown. Application

The actual application process involved with cosmetics is crucial, for even with the right colors you need to apply the makeup properly. Foundation should always be light and natural-looking, and always try to stick to a toned-down natural look for the daytime. You can play up your eyes but leave the lips and cheeks more neutral, and vice versa. You can have a lot of fun with cosmetics for the nighttime, where you have more freedom with color and brightness. Just make sure to never overdo it and that the makeup style you go with is going to be suited to the occasion.

Black Cohosh

Firstly there is Black Cohosh, cimicifugae racemosae ? commonly referred to as the menopause herb.

Interest in Black Cohosh and dietary supplements containing Black Cohosh has come from women seeking alternative treatments for symptoms associated with the menopausal transition, including hot flashes and night sweats, anxiety and depression, and vaginal dryness. This interest has been heightened by recent findings from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), which pointed to a shift in the risk/benefit balance of hormone therapy due to the risks associated with cardiovascular events, stroke, breast cancer, blood clots, and other conditions.

Black Cohosh is used for a variety of other complaints, but has become best known in the Western World for its beneficial effect on hormone functioning due to its phyto-estrogenic properties. Herbalists also use Black Cohosh to prevent miscarriage in cases of women at high risk. Many women miscarry in the very early stages of pregnancy and may not even realize that they have been pregnant.

Historically, Black Cohosh has been also been used for a range of conditions. Native Americans and the early U.S. colonialists used it for a great variety if disorders including amenorrhea, bronchitis, chorea, dropsy, fever, hysteria, itch, lumbago, nervous disorders, snakebite, yellow fever, and disorders of the uterus.

Today, preparations of Black Cohosh consist of the fresh or dried rhizome with attached roots of cimicifuga racemosa.

Studies recently carried out in Germany have confirmed that cimicifuga is strongly estrogenic and that it is effective in relieving menopausal symptoms.

For the technically minded, its main constituents are triterpene glycosides, cinnamic acid derivatives, chromone, isoflavones, tannins and salicylic acid.

Black Cohosh is regarded as a relatively safe herb, there being no documented contraindications to it.

Side effects are also few, perhaps occasional gastric discomfort, and rare hepatic (liver) dysfunction.

It has been suggested by some authorities that medicinal quantities of Black Cohosh may possibly magnify the effects of synthetic hormones in susceptible women, such as women taking HRT or the contraceptive pill.

It has also been hypothesized in some circles that, because of its estrogen-like effects, it could promote metastasis of breast cancer tissue. (In an experiment done on mice, however, Black Cohosh increased metastasis of cancer to the lungs, but did not cause an increased incidence of breast cancer.)

It is not advisable to take Black Cohosh during pregnancy or lactation.

Otherwise there are no known interactions with other drugs

Wild Yam

Wild Yam is another very popular herb for women and has been also used to relieve menstrual cramps or pain, menopausal symptoms, rheumatic conditions, and gallbladder complaints, bilious colic and nausea. It also has been proposed as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy but (as one might imagine) there is much debate about that.

Traditionally, Native Americans used Wild Yam for birth control, also for rheumatism, menstrual pain and complications during childbirth.

Studies have shown that wild yam contains steroidal saponins, mainly dioscin and diosgenin, which can be used to manufacture progesterone, and other steroid drugs used for contraception. Be aware, however, that the body does not convert dioscin to progesterone

Some authorities warn that the use of Wild Yam may be contraindicated for women taking progesterone and/or estrogen. Otherwise there are no consistent reports of adverse side effects.

In recent times Wild Yam has been strongly promoted as a female breast enhancer and as a sexual stimulant and is consequently an increasingly common ingredient in female herbal supplements.

Dong Quai (or Quoi), Angelica polymorpha.

Dong Quai has been used for many centuries in Asia to balance female hormones and as a treatment for the various discomforts associated with menopause.

It has also been traditionally used In Asia to treat arthritis.

Today, Dong Quai is recognized as being rich in iron, magnesium and niacin. The root of Dong Quai is still used to relieve menstrual problems or menopausal symptoms, to improve mental acuity and alleviate symptoms of daily stress.

It is used also to relieve muscle spasms, and is also used to treat PMS, vaginal dryness, and hot flashes.

Dong Quai should not be used during pregnancy or by people suffering from colds and flu. It should not be taken with Warfarin as it could lead to bruising and uncontrolled bleeding.

Today, many different herbs are used to address not only health disorders that are peculiar to women but to improve women's quality of life, their sexuality and general well being. Herbal remedies, however, should not be taken by people already taking pharmaceutical drugs without reference to a competent herbal medical practitioner.
