Once u start to exfoliate your face and neck, your skin will glow. am fair in complexion  too and neutrogena product is really working for me now

i use the oil, the lotion and also  neutrogena soap.

i use both. the neutrogena oil =N 2,100

the lotion is N1,400

soap is  N 700

THE SOAP DOESN'T LAST LIKE THAT AND IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE, SO I WILL ADVISED U USE IT FOR your FACE AND NECK AND GET ANOTHER BRAND FOR BODY.

Fellababe,
     Which Neutrogena Lotion do you mean, the Emulsion or moisturizer and which of the Neu oil and soap? Names please, I use the range as well but can't say 100% that it's working well for me. mixed it with bio-oil and it became too greasy and irritating so I stopped. What say you about Mary Kay range? Can you recommend something to get a clear, pimple-free face.

Will try this.

Hi fellybabe, cld u pls tex me your no on 08029998157. I av so much 2 ask u. Thanks in anticipatn

Eyeshadow application techniques

 The manner in which we apply eyeshadow depends on the texture of your makeup, the shape of your eyes, and the situation you are making up for. Using different colours, textures, and application techniques, you can—depending on the image you want to achieve—accentuate or soften your eyes, create a certain mood, or improve your eye shape if you are not happy with it.

Use the right technique for the texture

Creamy eyeshadow

Creamy eyeshadow has a lightweight skin-like texture, is easy to apply and blend, stays long, and does not crease if not overloaded. However, this product contains of a lot of shimmer which accentuates the structure of the skin—not a great choice for mature women.
Creamy texture is best for single colour application. Because this type of eyeshadow blends so well, don’t use more than two colours—three shades would create a greyish mess on your eyelids. The same undesirable effect may occur if you use creamy eyeshadow together with creamy eyeliner on the upper eyelid.

For full proof application of creamy eyeshadow, use your fingertip. If you use two shades in creamy texture, blend the definition shade with a small synthetic brush.
Loose powder eyeshadow

Loose powder eyeshadow with a lot of tiny glitter—which is very difficult to press into compact form—gives you an instantly glamorous effect; however, these products are more about shine than colour. Loose powder is very good as a base pastel colour—especially for mature eyes—because it doesn’t contain shimmer or strong pigments. Apply loose powder with a large base brush all over the eyelid.

Pressed powder eyeshadow

Pressed powder eyeshadow is easy to apply and blend, and has excellent staying power. High-quality powder eyeshadow is heavily pigmented, which means that the colour reveals itself with the first stroke and will not fade. As a rule, matte eyeshadow has more sheer texture, while shimmer (mica particles) gives eyeshadow a rich texture that intensifies the colour.
This form of eyeshadow is applied with a dry sponge applicator, and then blended with a brush. This way you avoid eyeshadow falling off the brush, plus you keep your brushes clear of colour, fresh for blending. It’s a good idea to use brushes of different sizes for different purposes: blend base colour with the largest brush, highlighting and accent colours with a medium brush, and contouring shadows in the crease and along the lash line with the smallest brush.
Make the most with shading and highlighting

 If you have small or deep-set eyes, don’t outline the contour of your eye with a dark colour. Apply base eyeshadow with light shimmer on the entire eyelid to open up the eyes, highlighting with a light iridescent shade under the eyebrow. Medium-thick eyeliner along and beyond the upper lash line will elongate your eyes.  For protruding eyes, matte eyeshadows are preferable to iridescent as base and contouring colours. In the crease, blend contouring colour halfway down to the lashes; this way you will visibly shrink the size of the mobile lid. Curling your lashes may be the best remedy to reduce bulginess.  Mature eyes look best with light base eyeshadow all over the eyelid and soft highlighter under the eyebrow. “Lift” your eyes by applying colour strictly above your upper eyelid; keep the sides and lower lid free of contouring eyeshadow. Use brown or grey mascara instead of black.  With Asian eyes, don’t attempt to draw a line above your natural crease with a dark colour; instead, try to create the illusion of eyelids by applying bright metallic eyeshadow on and above the crease. It should occupy about one third of the space between your lashes and eyebrows. Be aware that this technique works well only if your eyelids aren’t saggy.  On wide-set eyes, draw your shading line in the crease closer to the inner corner, but don’t deliberately try to make the eyes appear closer by applying dark eyeshadow next to your nose. Apply eyeshadow within the border defined by the eye shape, and don’t whiten your inner corners. Show it off, or keep it simple

The simplest way to put on eyeshadow for a quick makeup fix is to apply a base colour over the entire eyelid, up to the eyebrows; creamy or loose powder eyeshadow are best for this technique.
 
For a more polished look, use two colour-coordinated shadows in light and dark shades. Apply the light shade under the eyebrow, on the upper mobile lid, and on the lower lid in the inside corner of the eye. Concentrate darker eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eye, along the lashes, and in the crease. For sophisticated evening makeup, use up to four colours of eyeshadow:
Apply a pastel base colour all over the eyelid.
T
he darkest contouring shade goes in the crease and along the lashes.
A more vibrant iridescent accent colour is applied to the mobile lid and slightly above, in the centre of the eyes.
Shimmery, very light highlighter can be applied on the brow bone and in the inner corners of the eyes.
 Remember: adding more colour means that you will need to layer your eyeshadow. Your layers will be thinner if you use a high-quality product that is heavily pigmented. The less you apply, the better it will look and stay on your eyelids.
