How to pierce your ear yourself.

It is preferable you pierce your ear with a professional or get a friend to do it for you. If its your first piercing its going to be real scary but be rest assured it doesn't hurt as much as you think.
INSTRUMENTS
Items needed;
1. A piercing needle. If you cant get a piercing needle, you can use a sewing needle after carefully sterilizing it. Do not use a safety pin. You'll probably get an infection.


2. A pair of new earrings. Do not use old earrings. Sealed earrings are the safest type to use. Make sure you buy original earrings.


3. Cotton wool.
4. A bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
Its important to sterilize infections can be very painful and even lead to amputation.
STEPS.
First step: take a bath. To clean and lower your body temperature.
Second step: sterilize your pin by boiling it in water. This reduces infection risks.
Third step: take painkillers. Even though the pain is minimal, its advisable to take pain killers.
Fourth step: use a cotton wool soaked in hydrogen peroxide to wipe the spot you want to pierce.
Fifth step: place a slice of apple or any hard object behind your ear, this guides you when piercing.
Sixth step: pick up your needle, take a deep breath and gently push it into the spot. Dont stop until the needle is protruding behind your ear, gently remove it and put in your new earrings. Done!


clean your ear regularly with hydrogen peroxide, day and night. Do not remove the earring until it totally heals else the piercing will disappear. Wiggle the earring gently from time to time. This helps widen the hole.
It doesnt hurt that much. I have done it a few times, no infection, no bleeding. And painless. :)

hit me up if you did it. :)

get your brown eyes noticed...

Brown eyes can be mesmerizing in their complexity. There are so many variations of brown and if you look closely you can often find flecks and sparkles of other colors intermixed among the browns. You can make brown eyes even more exciting to look at by using a few simple makeup and clothing tricks. Here’s how to enhance brown eyes:


Enhance brown eyes: Makeup


The most important decision you’ll make when deciding how to enhance the color of your brown eyes is what eyeshadow shade to select. Although browns may vary in shade as a generalization greens, rich golds, and metallic bronzes tend to be some of the more striking colors for brown eyes. To give your eyes more depth, you’ll want to use several shades of eyeshadow with one lighter shade serving as a highlighter for the shades you apply to the lids and crease.


Take a close look at your eyes and determine what underlying color tones they have. Do you see twinges of yellow? If so, you may want to add an eyeshadow with a plum or purple tone since these are opposite colors on the color wheel which can cause your eye color to really pop. Do you see flecks of red in your brown eyes? In this case, a green tone placed on your eyes will help to enhance the underlying red in your eyes, giving them more depth.







You can use the underlying colors of your brown eyes to dictate the color of your eyeliner. If you see yellow tones, go for a rich plum or purple liner. If red, a dark green liner will be more flattering. Unlike people with blue or green eyes, your darker skin usually allows you to wear a deeper shade of mascara such as dark brown or black. Be sure to curl your lashes and apply several layers of volumizing mascara to make your eyes stand out even more .


Enhance brown eyes: Clothing


The clothing you select to emphasize the color of your brown eyes may vary depending upon your hair color and your underlying skin tones. One way to determine your basic underlying skin tone is to look at your veins. Do they appear more blue or green in color? If they are predominantly green, you probably have warm undertones to your skin. Blue veins imply your skin tones are cool. This can help you choose the most appropriate colors to bring out your eyes.


If you have warm, golden undertones to your skin and warm, golden or red tones to your hair, you’ll want to look for clothing in shades of deep orange, golden brown, olive, dark brown, and camel. To find shades that are right for your skin and eyes, go to a fabric store and hold various fabric shades against your face and see which colors make your eyes stand really stand out.


If you’re a brunette with cooler tones to your skin, your eyes will be enhanced by bright primary colors such as royal blue, crimson red, and lime. You’re also one of the few groups who can really carry off bright yellow as a full outfit. Yellow worn with gently tanned skin can really make your brown eyes pop. Don’t forget to add a pair of gold earrings. Gold is a metal made for brown eyed girls.
