The perfect foundation color

People use foundation for covering imperfections on skin. We use foundations for face, for body and depending on purpose of use we choose texture of foundation. There are few important characteristics we have to take take attention and if we make just one mistake we won't be able to achieve perfect foundation. The last step in the decision-making process is choosing right color for your skin. Decision about color is final and probably the simplest but also the most visible. Choosing right color is not so complicate but so many people make mistake and apply foundations that don't have suitable color. Many ladies choose wrong color, or don't change foundation color by seasons. Some of ladies know that they don't use similar color foundation with fasiskin tone and choose such shades because want to make their skin darker or lighter. If you want to make your skin darker or lighter you should realize it very professional or your skin won't look nice. The best is to choose foundation that will make your color just for one or even two shades lighter or darker and avoid to apply some that are to much dark or light for your skin tone.

Always try to check color in daylight. Sometimes color of our skin or foundation color look very different in store light. Very important is spot where you apply foundation for check. Many makeup artists advice to test color on the inside of your wrist and this is the similar skin tone with your face. You can apply also on face or part of skin where you will use that foundation to be sure that it is right color.

Sunlight make our skin look darker and you need to apply darker shades in summer and in winter lighter. For other seasons you can mix lighter and darker one if it is liquid and always mix just for single use, never mix in original package because it can damage rest of foundation. Once you choose right color for your skin next time will be much easier.

How differences in color can dramatically affect diamond value?

How differences in color can dramatically affect diamond value

Many years ago diamonds industry was quite different from now. Before the greatest value had white diamond and all other color diamonds was looked it's not enough clear. Specially it was for brown diamonds and before it was the ugliest color for diamond. In that period the most expensive diamonds were the colorless, clear diamonds.

Today diamond industry changed a lot. People love color, love to break clear style, colorless style. And price of diamonds is determined with many facts. There is no established reason for bad reputation of brown diamonds until now. On diamond market price of brown and black diamond are still very affordable. There are also very expensive brown diamonds but many of them still are not famous on diamond market.

When comparing the prices of diamond the prices differences are enormous. White diamonds are more expensive than brown and the average price of white diamond is higher about 50%. Color intensity of diamonds is very important for price, as color is more intensive the price is higher. Dark brown diamond generally have higher price than light brown diamonds. Also very important fact is rarity of color. As color is rarer diamond will be more expensive.

The most similar color with brown diamonds are yellow and orange brown diamonds and such diamonds are usually cheaper than dark brown. Depends on rarity price varies and this make orange brown diamonds more expensive then yellow one.

The highest price usually have diamonds that have very intensive color and in that group are: red, pink, purple, green, blue and violet diamonds, but color do not define price totally.

The most expensive diamonds are the rarest color and usually red diamonds are the rarest and the most expensive, as color is more pure the price is higher. Probably if anybody success to find pure red diamond it will be the most expensive because it does not exist yet. What do you think which diamond is the most expensive? For now it is the Mousaieff Red.

Life changing tech - Advanced materials

Life changing tech - Advanced materials

In 2016, it is expected that the trends of technical development and innovations will continue, and technology will be even more involved in every day life. Along with smart houses (so-called Internet of things), expanding robotics and emerging virtual reality, game-changers of the following period will be new high-tech materials. Check out which ones change our lives in most productive ways.

Smart fabrics Although there's already a bunch of companies combining textile with micro electronics, the most interesting enterprise is certainly Google's Project Jacquard. In cooperation with famous jeans manufacturer Levi's, they are developing interactive fabrics with conductive yarns, setting the way for creating interactive clothes and furniture, opening immense possibilities for control of smart phones, laptops and other web based devices. The first interactive jeans will be available this year. Prepare yourself; and stop wiping your hands on jeans.

This year, recyclable thermoplastic will probably be the game changer of built and design in electronic industry. We all know that electronic devices obsolete very fast, and there are no enough ways to recycle all unnecessary plastic. Recyclable thermoplastic is a super-strong material; on the other hand, an active agent (like acid) easily dissolves it. It is likely to be used in high-end smart phones, and certainly will change they look and feel.

Another scientific dream will presumable come true. Graphene, a super strong and thin material, is known for long, but it's production was too expensive untill now. As researches discovered how to make it at 100 times lesser costs, it's use will bring revolution in medical, energy and manufacturing industry, leading to major improvements and further development.

Types of leather

Types of leather

For every products the most important is used fabric which determinate many facts. First, it is quality of products but also determinate the usage of products. This is same for leather items. The leather items is more expensive than eco leather items, have highest level of quality but also not available as eco leather items.

Common characteristic for all leather items is sourcing of material. This is natural material made of animal skin. Before it is used for production it is necessary to be processed chemically, to be adapted. Normally the animal skin is not same on every part- the upper part of animal's skin is thicker and tho lower part of animal has the thinner skin. Depends on thinnest of animal skin different items can be produced. Leather can be be made from many animals and the mostly is made from cows, pigs, goats, and sheep. The leather of this animals is more more available and the mostly less resistant. Same type of animals doesn't have same quality of skin and for that is important where and how animals are bred. Many items as handbags are produced from skin of some exotic animals such as alligators, ostriches, and kangaroos. This leather is very expensive and it is used only for luxury production. Normally as leather is rarer the price is higher. Today is also used skin from cats and dogs specially in China. In this country is used meat from this animals and they exports this leather in whole world. 

Information about leather are very important specially to know how to care about item and how to use it. The great problem is the absence of information on label about type of leather specially for low and middle quality leather. There are no information about where leather come from. Exclusive leather items the mostly have information about type of leather and where leather come from.
