Der Kurs basiert auf dem Vorwissen von dem Kurs "Unity 3D Anfängerkurs komplett ohne Vorwissen". 
 
In diesem Kurs lernt ihr, wie man recht gut und einfach mit Listen von Variablen umgeht. Ihr lernt, wie man Charaktere Steuern und bewegen kann, wie man schießen programmieren kann und wie man Benutzeroberflächen erstellen kann. Wir werden auch Particle Systeme betrachten und damit coole Effekte erstellen. Außerdem werden wir ein kleines Spiel erstellen, dass alle gelernten Inhalte zusammenbringen soll, damit ihr auch alles praktisch anwenden könnt. Das Spiel ist ein einfacher kleiner Shooter in dem ihr Ziele mit unterschiedlichen Farben in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge abschießen müsst. Dabei muss man durch die Umgebung navigieren und die richtige Farbe finden. 
 
In diesem Kurs werden nur Kenntnisse über Unity vermittelt, wodurch nur unityeigene Objekte verwendet werden und somit sieht die Umgebung die wir bauen werden nicht wirklich besonders aus. Ihr könnt aber zu jeder Zeit auch eure Kenntnisse in Grafikdesign und in Modellierung nutzen, um die Standardobjekte zu ersetzen und euer Spiel schöner zu gestalten. Eurer Fantasie sind dort keine Grenzen gesetzt und es ist sogar sehr gut, wenn Ihr eigene Elemente mit einbauen könnt. 
 
Programmiert immer alles fleißig mit und versucht auch ab und zu den Programmcode zu variieren und zu verändern. Dies führt zu einem besseren Verständnis und Lernerfolg.

What is the first thing you scan in your e-mail inbox? For me, it's the subject line. If it catches my attention, then I check to see who sent it. Your relationship with your readers/customers starts with the subject line. You can have subject lines as long as you choose, but assume that your recipients see only the first 56 characters. That's what you have to work with it to make an impression strong enough to get your readers to the next stage - clicking and opening the e-mail you've toiled over.

Support your subject line and create instant recognition with the same From: information every time. That does not mean an anonymous person in your company, but a real and recognizable persona. That does not mean that every reply has to go to the CEO! That's what redirected e-mails are for.

Now that many e-mail clients block images by default, your subject line is the most important sentence in your entire campaign.

Consider a descriptive name for your regular newsletter and then expand on that if you feel it necessary or desirable. For example:

TrendBlog-New Research Results on Testing subject Lines (55 spaces)

TrendBlog-I'm Sorry You Feel That Way (40 spaces)

TrendBlog-Top 5 Strategies to Build Subscribership (50 spaces)

Take a cue from the headlines. Be clear, concise, and creative - so long as our creativity doesn't confuse your readers. It is important that the subject line is easy for people to understand and archive to find later.

Savvy e-mail marketers are three times more likely than novices to test subject lines. The larger your list, the more important subject line testing is. However, you can always enlist a group of trusted people to give you their opinions on which subject line they feel is most effective. A twist on this is used by Outside magazine, whose e-mail newsletter includes a link to vote for your choice of the magazine cover for the upcoming issue. Not only does it engage the online audience, but it also drives readers to the newsstands to see which cover design won.

Many e-mail experts, myself included, recommend that you personalize the subject line with the recipient's name. However, some recipients may find a first-name basis overly familiar, which could be a potential faux pas. Always be honest. Just yesterday I got an e-mail from a major publication. The From: line was the "Magazine".com. The subject line was: "Your friend wants you to receive Pearls of Wisdom," so I took the time to open the e-mail. It was an offer from one of their advertisers. The last time I checked, I didn't include major pharmaceutical companies as personal friends. Consider the fallout of tricking your recipients.

Effective e-mail subject lines

Can cell phones kill you? Can deodorant cause breast cancer? These frightening E-mail hoaxes and wild rumors have made people across the nation question the safety of their daily products. But is there any truth to these claims? We’ll set the record straight about the top 6 cancer myths you may have heard.

The myth: Bug sprays and products contain pesticides that can cause cancer.

What we know: the term “pesticides” includes both herbicides and insecticides. They are found in bug spray and conventionally grown produce. When it comes to bug spray, the FDA says that the pesticides it contains can be dangerous, but only if you don’t follow the precautions in regards to breathing and direct contact. Conventional fruits and vegetables are grown with chemical pesticides, which in high doses can cause cancer in animals. According to the American Cancer Society, the small amount found in produce is not connected to increased cancer risk, but some experts theorize that these chemicals act like estrogen in the body – and high estrogen levels are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. If you’re worried: always wash produce thoroughly before eating. To avoid harmful pesticides entirely, buy organic produce. You can also purchase organic bug spray, which uses cedar oil or garlic oil as the main ingredient. You can find more info at organicbugspray.com. To be considered organic, a product must be produced without any chemical pesticides, fertilizers, genetically engineered seeds, or radiation. Look for the USDA seal to make sure it’s really organic.

The myth: Harmful substances from deodorant are absorbed through the skin or enter through the tiny cuts made when you shave. Because of the close proximity to your armpits, these chemicals can raise your risk for breast cancer.

What we know: deodorants and antiperspirants contain parabens, preservatives that can act like estrogen in the body. Some scientists suggest that using deodorants or antiperspirants could cause parabens to accumulate in breast tissue, which can contribute to breast cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there is no conclusive evidence that ingredients in antiperspirants cause cancer. However, many commercial deodorants and antiperspirants do use artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals like propylene glycol. Some experts are worried about the effect that these ingredients may have when they’re absorbed into the bloodstream. In addition, some contain aluminum chlorhydrate, which has been linked to Alzheimer’s Disease. If you’re worried: purchase deodorants and antiperspirants that are specifically paraben-free and chemical-free. Or, use talcum powder instead. Sprinkle it on after a shower and you’re good to go!

The myth: Cell phones transmit and receive harmful waves, and because you hold them close to your head while making a call, they can give you brain cancer.

What we know: All cell phones use radiofrequency (RF) energy or radio waves. RF energy is one type of electromagnetic energy (other types of electromagnetic energy are X-rays and gamma rays). Large amounts of RF energy can increase body temperature and damage body tissue. But according to the FDA, the amount of RF the general public is exposed to is not enough to damaged tissue. If you’re worried: Use your landline whenever you can and save your cell phone for long-distance calls.

The myth: You can get cancer from the harmful ingredients in makeup.

What we know: Most cosmetics are primarily made up of fragrances and preservatives. These substances can irritate sensitive skin. Many active ingredients in cosmetics are produced with pesticides, and some experts believe that these pesticides have the same effect on your skin as free radicals. Cosmetic companies can sell products without the approval of the FDA. But if they do, they must put a warning on the front label that says the safety of the product has not been determined. 

If you’re worried: If you want safe cosmetics free of chemicals, buy organic makeup.

The myth: Eating any burnt part of any type of food will increase your risk of cancer.

What we know: High heat reacts with the amino acids in meat to create heterocyclic amines (HCAs), chemicals that are linked to cancer. Another type of carcinogen, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are formed when fat from meat drips onto hot coals. The fat sizzles and sends smoke upward, which then brings the PAHs to the meat. The American Cancer Society has warned that your cancer risk will rise if you eat too much-burnt meat. Because other foods like vegetables and rice don’t contain amino acids, the harmful chemicals do not form when you burn them.

If you’re worried: Prevent charring in meat by:

Using 4 ounces of marinade per pound of meat – the acidity may act as a barrier against the carcinogens.

Cooking the meat in the center of the grill and move the coals over to the side so the meat juices can’t drip down on them.

Precooking meats in the oven and then placing them on the grill just to finish, for a few minutes.

The myth: When you microwave food in plastic, the heat causes toxins in the plastic to leach into your food.

What we know: All plastics for food use are evaluated by the FDA before they’re put on the market. A chemical called diethylhexyl adipate (DEHA) is often added to plastics to enhance their flexibility. Although trace amounts of this do end up in your food when you consume substances that are wrapped in plastic, the levels have not been proven to have a toxic effect – but this doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s good for your body. There have also been rumors that some plastics, including the kind used in water bottles, can leach bisphenol-A (BPA), a hormone disruptor, into your food or drink. If you’re worried: always use microwave-safe containers, which are designed to hold up under high temperatures. If in doubt, use a glass bowl. And toss your plastic water bottle in exchange for one made of stainless steel – just make sure it’s stainless steel inside and out (not lined with a type of plastic).

Can makeup kill you? 6 cancer myths exposed

Ayurveda is an ancient approach to health and healing that stresses well-being and mental balance as the keys to longevity and more beautiful skin, from head to toe. Developed in India and practiced there for centuries, this holistic tradition holds that lotions and potions are not the only factors that impact your skin. The mind and body are connected, so everything about your lifestyle, from the state of your relationships to how you handle stress, affects your complexion. Read on to learn the Ayurvedic principles that can help your skin today. 

Ayurveda groups people into three distinct personality types, or doshas. Most of us are a combination of all three but have one dominant dosha. Everything from our skin type to our body frame and favorite workout determines our dosha. When it comes to complexions: if you have oily skin you’re probably a Kapha; dry skin, a Vata; sensitive skin, a Pitta. No matter which you are, Ayurveda holds that your mind and body are connected and should be in balance.

Did you know that your emotions influence your skin’s health? It’s true. Skin is the reflection of everything inside us. Think of a bride on her wedding day – she’s glowing and radiant, her happiness manifesting itself in the form of beautiful skin. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. If you’re under chronic stress, your skin will reflect it. In the short term, you might notice a few extra blemishes here and there; in the long term, your skin will age faster, complete with worry lines and broken blood vessels. Fortunately, by using the principles of Ayurveda, you can maintain a youthful glow – even into your eighties and beyond.

Slowing down the aging process is more than just external. Anti-wrinkle creams alone won’t do it. Ayurveda teaches the principle that beautiful, youthful skin has everything to do with how you react to and internalize your daily experiences.

Need balance in an anxiety-filled life? Here are some tips:

Consciously change how you react to negative events. Is the long line at the grocery an annoyance that will ruin your day, or is it a chance to flip through your favorite magazine?

Maintain positive, loving relationships with your friends and family.

Get rid of that grudge – it’s a dead weight you don’t need.

For days when you need to calm down fast, follow these simple strategies:

Walkthrough a garden, watch the sunset, or do some stargazing. Taking in beautiful scenery sparks hormonal changes in your body that trigger a euphoric response.

Add 10 drops of chamomile oil to a warm bath and soak for 15 minutes.

Put on soft music with rhythmic drumming.

A healthier lifestyle and an arsenal of relaxation techniques will send those stress hormones packing – and give you a glow that no cream can match.

No one would eat a meal made of cetyl alcohol, disodium EDTA and red dye #17, yet the products we put on our skin are often filled with these harmful ingredients and more. Skin is a living organ, and only living ingredients can nurture it appropriately. Ayurvedic tradition relies on natural ingredients like honey, flowers, and herbs, and excludes chemicals and preservatives that harm delicate facial skin. Because the products are made only of natural ingredients, they’re safe to eat. 

For Dry Skin (Typically Vata): Mix 1 teaspoon almond meal + ½ teaspoon dry milk + 1 pinch sugar.

For Sensitive Skin (Typically Pitta): Mix 1 teaspoon almond meal + ½ teaspoon ground orange peel + ½ teaspoon dry milk.

For Oily Skin (Typically Kapha): Mix 1 teaspoon barley meal + 1 teaspoon lemon peel + ½ teaspoon dry milk.

In your palm, make a paste using ¼ teaspoon of the above mixture and warm water (or rosewater if you have sensitive skin).

Apply the paste all over the face and neck and gently massage into the skin for about one minute. Don’t scrub!

Dry and oily skin types should rinse well with warm, not hot water.

If you have sensitive skin, wash with cool, not cold, water.

Store the extra dry ingredients in a spice jar.

Ayurveda can aid skin everywhere, not just on your face. Too much oily food, fried food, and sugar are toxic to the body. These toxins accumulate and can cause cellulite. The link between diet and cellulite is hotly debated, but keep in mind that eliminating junk food will lead to positive changes throughout your body, from weight loss to well-being.

Ayurveda: the 5,000-year-old skin secret

If you love makeup tips, eyes can be especially great for trying new techniques. Anyone of these makeup tips from scientists and makeup experts can work great for you. Some can have an eye-opening effect immediately, while others have a longer-lasting effect! When it comes to makeup tips, eyes can be gorgeous if you follow the tip’s advice. When you think of makeup tips for eyes you are probably thinking colored shadows, smoky pencils, and mascara, but there is more to it than that says scientists and make-up experts alike. Of course, you can try to hide bags under your eyes, wrinkles that are forming, and redness, but some of the best makeup tips for eyes improve your look from the inside out! Here are the top eight tips in order of importance:

The first of these eye makeup tips sound simple, but the average American gets only seven hours of sleep instead of the 8-10 recommended by doctors, says the Department of Health and Human Services. Many of America’s women say they get a good night’s sleep only a few nights per week. It not only affects your work, your mood, and your stress levels, but also your skin and eyes will pay the price. No matter what you do when it comes to makeup tips, eyes that aren’t getting enough sleep will look dull and lifeless, not shiny and bright. Your eyes are the first thing people notice when they look at you, so adding even 20 minutes more to your sleep each night can really make a difference. Plus, being less tired will cut down on the number of times you rub your eyes, which can damage the delicate skin surrounding them.

You’ve heard it before, but the standard American diet of fast food and caffeine puts your body at risk for high-stress levels, heart disease, and cancer-causing carcinogens. You can imagine over time what this does to your looks. Even the addition of a multi-vitamin to your diet (the readily absorbable whole food kind is best) can help stave off the stress that lets the worry show all-around your eyes. No amount of makeup tips for eyes can hide that! Plus, some vitamin complexes just for women contain higher levels of calcium, iron, and Vitamin B for enhanced energy levels. Many vitamins nowadays contain anti-oxidant complexes including Lutein, a nutrient known for its protective action in eyes. When you eat a more balanced diet, the results are very recognizable and can result in bright eyes.

Here are some valuable makeup beauty tips: Healthy skin prevents wrinkles around the eyes. Low-fat dairy products contain vitamin A which promotes healthy skin cells. Milk, yogurt, and cheese are great ways to get additional vitamin A. Fresh fruits and vegetables like berries, artichokes, and prunes have high antioxidants. These help your skin renew by protecting the skin cell membranes, which in turn creates healthy, glowing skin.

Oils with essential fatty acids also help build healthy cell membranes. Foods like salmon and flaxseed oil are in this group, as well as any food containing Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Selenium is a mineral found in nuts, oats, and whole grains. This mineral helps prevent oxidant damage from sun and exposure. But your best bet for healthy skin that opens a wonderful palette to apply makeup is water, water, water! Water helps the skin cells renew themselves. Drink at least eight glasses a day, and more during the hot summer when the skin cells become dehydrated.

Tip Three: Try the latest scientific research.

As part of the body’s natural response to healing, published studies show that peptides have increased collagen production in the skin. Makeup beauty tips include using collagen, a skin-supporting compound produced naturally in young skin that is responsible for a firm, young appearance. Since natural collagen levels decrease as you age, the skin’s support system breaks down. As a result, wrinkles and bags can begin to form and the skin looks tired. Applying these peptides on top of your skin might actually induce your skin to produce more collagen inside on its own. The Pentapeptides are combined with fatty acids to get the compound deep into the skin and you may start to see results in as little as four weeks.

All makeup experts agree that the skin around your eyes is delicate and fragile, therefore, taking off your make-up is just as important as putting it on. The more you tug on it by rubbing the make-up off just leads to more irritation and sagging of the delicate skin tissue, especially over time. Search around online and on store shelves for the most soothing, complete eye makeup remover you can find. Ask everyone you know for their recommendations and see if you can cut down on the wear and tear of makeup removal around your eyes every day. Eye makeup tips include using gentle make-up removers containing all-natural ingredients that can improve the health of the skin around the eyes as well as remove stubborn eye-makeup. Look for products with high water content, chamomile flowers, citrus extract such as grapefruit, and tea tree oil.

Tip Five: Update your makeup routine every few years.

Eye makeup tips can change with the season, just like fashion. Make sure you keep yours from looking dated. Here are some common makeup beauty tips “eye-don’ts” that will make you look dated:

-- Cat’s eyes: Don’t use solid black liner extended outward and upward. Instead, use a smoky brown shadow pencil across the entire lid base close to lashes.

-- Bright colors: Don’t use a lot of different colors on your lids. Stay in the same color family.

-- Blush as a shadow: Don’t sweep blush across your lids and under brows unless it is a bronzer. The “pink” of blush is not appropriate for most skin tones.

--- Lining only the outer portion of lids: Don’t only line some of the lids. Line the lids from inner to outer corner for the most maximizing effect.

-- Matching eye color to shadow color: Don’t match shadow color to your eyes. To apply eye makeup with flair, choose neutral colors in browns and grays that contrast so eyes “pop.”

--- If you want to create a striking look with eye makeup, choose colors that do not match. Use purples, bronzes, and browns for green eyes; Peach, yellows, and gold shades are amazing with blue eyes.

Remember, there are many classic eye makeup colors that look great and are timeless. For example, try a soft brown with blue eyes to bring out the color or a smoky gray with brown eyes for that sultry look. Use a bit of white to highlight, and you’re set, no matter what decade we are in!

No amount of eye makeup can hide sloppy brows with stray hairs and no shape. The best thing is to have them professionally waxed or tweezed into shape at your local salon. Between visits, keep your brows neat by tweezing strays and keeping them brushed. You can cut long hairs with scissors or fill in thin brows with a pencil the same color as your hair.

Makeup beauty tips for tweezing the brows: If you are unable to go for a professional wax work over, you can still use these makeup tips for eyes. To tweeze your brows, first, brush them with a soft brow brush. Use pure cotton pads to soften the eyebrows with warm water by setting them across the brows for five minutes.

Use the brow pencil to make a vertical line from the side of your nose to the brow. Mark with a small dot. This is your inside starting point for tweezing your eyebrows. Turn the pencil and angle it at the outer edge of the eye, marking where the pencil and brow intersect. This is your outer brow edge for tweezing. Check to make sure that the dots look right for your style and that both eyes are even. Begin tweezing from the space between the brows by holding the skin taut and plucking out unwanted hair. Complete the rest of the brows working from the inside to the outside. Remember to clean your tweezers and brows with astringent to prevent the spread of germs.

Need a fast fix for puffy eyes? Before doing your make-up, use these tried-and-true (and free) all-natural make-up tips. Eyes can benefit from the cold! So keep chamomile tea ice cubes in the freezer for handy use. Gently rub them under and over puffy eyes to help reduce the swelling and calm skin irritation. Rinse your face in ice-cold milk. The lactic acid in the milk tightens up your skin and minimizes pores while the natural emollients in milk help lock in moisture. Also, keep two spoons in the fridge. Place over puffy eyes to reduce any puffiness.

Another great way to keep down puffy eyes is to sleep with a cool compress over the eyes. You can also use green tea bags or regular tea bags cooled and placed over the eyes. If your eyes are puffy, use cold wet tea bags to bring down the swelling.

Of all known makeup tips, eyes benefit most from the simple purchase of new products. Old makeup is prone to bacteria, and so using it may even be dangerous. Makeup more than three months old should be thrown out. This is especially true for eye makeup. Eyes contain germs as they are constantly warm and wet. Old makeup can cause conjunctivitis. Furthermore, never share eye make up with friends as this can spread eye-borne germs and cause irritation.

With new makeup, you can not only stay in style but also prevent infections. Health is always important and should be your number one concern. Your beautiful eyes can light up your face with the right makeup tips; eyes and all parts of your face deserve the best care possible to make sure you look and feel great.

If you love makeup tips, eyes can be especially great for trying new techniques. Anyone of these makeup tips from scientists and makeup experts can work great for you. Some can have an eye-opening effect immediately, while others have a longer-lasting effect! When it comes to makeup tips, eyes can be gorgeous if you follow the tip’s advice. When you think of makeup tips for eyes you are probably thinking colored shadows, smoky pencils, and mascara, but there is more to it than that says scientists and make-up experts alike. Of course, you can try to hide bags under your eyes, wrinkles that are forming, and redness, but some of the best makeup tips for eyes improve your look from the inside out! Here are the top eight tips in order of importance:
 
Tip One: Get enough sleep!
The first of these eye makeup tips sound simple, but the average American gets only seven hours of sleep instead of the 8-10 recommended by doctors, says the Department of Health and Human Services. Many of America’s women say they get a good night’s sleep only a few nights per week. It not only affects your work, your mood, and your stress levels, but also your skin and eyes will pay the price. No matter what you do when it comes to makeup tips, eyes that aren’t getting enough sleep will look dull and lifeless, not shiny and bright. Your eyes are the first thing people notice when they look at you, so adding even 20 minutes more to your sleep each night can really make a difference. Plus, being less tired will cut down on the number of times you rub your eyes, which can damage the delicate skin surrounding them.
 
Tip Two: Eat right!
You’ve heard it before, but the standard American diet of fast food and caffeine puts your body at risk for high-stress levels, heart disease, and cancer-causing carcinogens. You can imagine over time what this does to your looks. Even the addition of a multi-vitamin to your diet (the readily absorbable whole food kind is best) can help stave off the stress that lets the worry show all-around your eyes. No amount of makeup tips for eyes can hide that! Plus, some vitamin complexes just for women contain higher levels of calcium, iron, and Vitamin B for enhanced energy levels. Many vitamins nowadays contain anti-oxidant complexes including Lutein, a nutrient known for its protective action in eyes. When you eat a more balanced diet, the results are very recognizable and can result in bright eyes.
Here are some valuable makeup beauty tips: Healthy skin prevents wrinkles around the eyes. Low-fat dairy products contain vitamin A which promotes healthy skin cells. Milk, yogurt, and cheese are great ways to get additional vitamin A. Fresh fruits and vegetables like berries, artichokes, and prunes have high antioxidants. These help your skin renew by protecting the skin cell membranes, which in turn creates healthy, glowing skin.
Oils with essential fatty acids also help build healthy cell membranes. Foods like salmon and flaxseed oil are in this group, as well as any food containing Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Selenium is a mineral found in nuts, oats, and whole grains. This mineral helps prevent oxidant damage from sun and exposure. But your best bet for healthy skin that opens a wonderful palette to apply makeup is water, water, water! Water helps the skin cells renew themselves. Drink at least eight glasses a day, and more during the hot summer when the skin cells become dehydrated.

The Pentapeptides are combined with fatty acids to get the compound deep into the skin and you may start to see results in as little as four weeks.
 
Tip Four: Use make-up remover gently.
All makeup experts agree that the skin around your eyes is delicate and fragile, therefore, taking off your make-up is just as important as putting it on. The more you tug on it by rubbing the make-up off just leads to more irritation and sagging of the delicate skin tissue, especially over time.

8 makeup tips - eyes are everything

Ever wonder which makeup tips Hollywood starlets use to maintain that flawless look? Is it possible they are truly that perfect? In a word: No. Even the most attractive woman approaches the morning mirror with the same trepidation you do, faced with less than perfect looks, and that one feature they just want to get rid of. It might be a lopsided nose or a double chin. Perhaps it is a prominent birthmark or eyes that are too small for the rest of her face. Whatever your undesirable feature, rest assured you are not alone. Each day millions of women face the daunting challenge of living with a feature they hate and spending countless time and money to conceal it. Are you ready for some good news? It is not as difficult as it seems when you are staring into that morning mirror. In fact, there are makeup tips anyone can use to cover up even the most troublesome feature. With a little practice and perhaps a trip to the beauty supply store, you can also use these makeup beauty tips to look as flawless as Eva Longoria or Angelina Jolie.

Double chins are the bane of many women. They can appear almost overnight, a result of fluid build-up, gaining a few extra pounds, or a predisposition for fat deposits in this area. While regular exercise is always a helpful strategy in controlling unwanted fat, sometimes there is nothing that can be done to get rid of a double chin. There are steps you can take to minimize the appearance of a double chin, making you the only person who knows it is still there. Start by making your jawline more prominent. Think about how your chin disappears when you lift your jaw and stand more erect. This is the effect you are going for with your makeup. Use powder or foundation on the upper neck just below the jawline that is a shade darker than your face. Run the color around your entire neck, from ear to ear, and blend it completely into your skin. This will cause your jaw to stand out, creating the appearance of an elongated neck and minimizing the look of your chin. Always use colorful blush so as to draw attention to your cheeks and away from your chin. Lastly, as much as you might be tempted, especially when opting for a casual look, never leave home without some kind of color on your eyes. This will balance your entire face and reduce the attention paid to anyone's feature, especially your chin.

No feature seems to give women more trouble than the nose. Maybe it is because they seem to be the first thing other people notice. The fact they can be too long, too short, too fat, or crooked just drives women crazy. The good news about noses is that one trick fixes all flaws. Using foundation to balance an uneven nose is a makeup application tip that women have been using for centuries, with the objective here being the creation of shadow that emphasizes your strengths and conceals your weaknesses.

If your nose is too long, try the darker foundation on the tip and lighter foundation on the bridge and along the sides. If your nose is too short, pick a lighter shade of foundation and run it down the length of the nose from bridge to tip. For the crooked or lopsided nose, use the darker foundation along the more prominent side with a paler shade on the other. This balances the look of the nose and creates a straight, lean look.

Do you ever feel like your window is permanently closed? Having eyes that are too small for the rest of your face can undermine your entire appearance. Considering how easy it is to emphasize the eyes, this is one beauty flaw that anyone can fix. How? Color, color, and more color. The eyes appear smaller when left uncolored. They retreat into the face and can practically disappear. For smaller eyes always choose an eye shadow shade that compliments your eye color, enhancing their overall size. For example, if you have green eyes, wear shades of ivy and emerald, drawing the natural color of your eyes into the lid area, making them practically jump out at the person you are looking at. If your eyes are brown or hazel, your palette can include tans, browns, taupes, and all the fabulous fall shades.

Don’t limit yourself to colors that match your skin tone, either. You want to be as colorful as you can without going overboard. Look for bright colors that enhance your natural eye color or match your outfits. This will draw attention to your face and quite literally open those windows to your soul, making you appear warm and welcoming. About the only thing you want to avoid are colors that have no partner or balancing element. In other words, if your eyes are blue and your outfit is red you would want to stay away from forest green eye shadow. Other than that, go for it!

The skin is the largest organ in the body and as such, deserves the greatest amount of care when trying to address a flawed appearance. Many features that you might think are prominent are only noticeable because the skin is less than perfect. Healthy, nutrient-rich skin that glows under a well-applied foundation can minimize just about any other feature on the face and neckline, so taking care of the skin should be a top priority for every woman.

The most common problem with today’s skin is the build-up of excess dry flakes, indicating the need for more exfoliation or removal of dead skin cells. Makeup applied to dry skin will crack and peel, becoming a backdrop for other undesirable features instead of a thin veil that minimizes them. Rinse the face before applying an exfoliating cleanser. Use circular motions with a loofah or exfoliating glove and rub firmly but do not scrub. Facial skin is some of the most delicate and the idea is to gently remove the dead cells, not irritate your skin further.

A tip for successful exfoliation is keeping the skin well hydrated. This allows healthy skin to develop and makes it easier for the dead skin cells to slough off. Drink plenty of water and use a moisturizer under your foundation every day. For those who have oily skin, look for products specifically designed to moisturize without creating an oily appearance. Everyone, no matter the skin type, should moisturize regularly to create a smooth base for applying makeup.

The key to minimizing flawed features is to either conceal them or draw attention to something else. Lips are the easiest feature to emphasize and generally the least flawed. Always wear lip color or shiny gloss, no matter where you are going or what type of outfit you are wearing. Contrary to eye shadow, lip color should compliment your hair and skin tones. Redheads look best in corals, cinnamons, and darker reds, while blondes will find their lips look best when colored in shades of wine or mauve. Brunettes can wear just about any color, but really stand out in dark browns with a hint of red, cinnamon, and deep peachy shades. Large lips can appear even bigger with bright reds and small lips are defined using pale shades. The trick here is to always wear color on your lips to emphasize natural beauty and draw attention away from any feature you are trying to conceal.

Everyone has at least one facial feature they would like to change. Using makeup tips to conceal these less than perfect looks can have almost the same effect. The next time you face the mirror wishing you could shrink your chin or move your nose, give these makeup tips a try. People will notice your “new and improved” look and only you will know how easy it was to achieve.

Loving the Lopsided Nose

5 makeup tips for less than perfect looks

In this article, you will consider some useful tips that will help you format an effective e-mail newsletter. Explore these effective suggestions.

1. Dangle "What's In It For Me" (WIIFM) Upfront

These days, people don't read e-mail, they scan it. I scan subject lines to see what to discard and what to open. If I open an e-mail, I scan the article headlines to see if there's anything that interests me. If not - Zap! Delete! - I'm off to the next e-mail. Therefore it is vital that on the first screen ("above the fold") people see something that captures their interest. They're all asking: What's In It For Me? (WIIFM) Note: Your top graphic and logo won't capture readers. Yes, your "brand," if recognized, may cause people to pause a moment longer and make them positively inclined toward your content, but by itself, it won't get people to read the content. Therefore, keep your top graphic relatively thin in vertical space. Too often top graphics are so fast that they take up most of the e-mail preview window so that a recipient has to scroll down to see article headlines - and most won't. Therefore, make your headlines or offers visible above the fold. Your headlines or offers need to coincide with your readers' self-interest. Titles should offer help in understanding or doing something. Your offers must appeal to readers' needs. Remember WIIFM.

2. Realize the Relationship-Building Potential

Regular e-mails are one of the best relationship-building tools I know. They can help you develop a powerful (albeit one-sided and virtual) relationship between you and thousands of readers. Small businesses can shine, since, instead of dry, anonymous "corporate-speak," they can feature actual people in their company.

Three ways to build a relationship via e-mail newsletters are:

Call people by name. When they subscribe, ask for a first name. Then use that first name in both the subject line and in the greeting that begins your message. To Americans, at least, addressing a person by the first name creates a sense of friendliness.

Feature photos of your authors. People connect with faces. When they see the face of your author, again and again, it builds a sense of personal recognition that strengthens the relationship.

Be Friendly. Write in the first person employing the same tone or "voice" that you might use in writing to a friend. Don't be afraid to share an occasional personal anecdote in a sentence or so - but don't dwell on it. To write personably does not mean you should ramble. Rather you must write clearly and concisely so you don't waste your readers' time.

All this relationship-building may sound to you like warm and fuzzy drivel. After all, this is business! I know, but believe me, e-mail relationship building works!

In every newsletter provide full contact information including a physical address and phone number, if possible. In some cases, the CAN-SPAM Act requires it. But it also makes good sense. When people want to respond to your newsletter, help them do so immediately.

I know you don't want to encourage people to unsubscribe, but subscribers come and go. It's a fact of life. In the US and many other countries, the law requires an easy way to unsubscribe. If you fail to provide one, even though you might not be prosecuted, you will incur the anger of many readers over a period of time and create bad mojo for your brand.

So there you have it - great tips that can help you design an effective e-mail newsletter. Now it's time to put these tips into practice. Go for it!

Regular e-mails are one of the best relationship-building tools I know. They can help you develop a powerful (albeit one-sided and virtual) relationship between you and thousands of readers. Small businesses can shine, since, instead of dry, anonymous "corporate-speak," they can feature actual people in their company.
 
Three ways to build a relationship via e-mail newsletters are:
 
<ol>
 <li>Call people by name. When they subscribe, ask for a first name. Then use that first name in both the subject line and in the greeting that begins your message. To Americans, at least, addressing a person by the first name creates a sense of friendliness.</li>
 <li>Feature photos of your authors. People connect with faces. When they see the face of your author, again and again, it builds a sense of personal recognition that strengthens the relationship.</li>
 <li>Be Friendly. Write in the first person employing the same tone or "voice" that you might use in writing to a friend. Don't be afraid to share an occasional personal anecdote in a sentence or so - but don't dwell on it. To write personably does&nbsp;not&nbsp;mean you should ramble. Rather you must write clearly and concisely so you don't waste your readers' time.</li>
</ol>
All this relationship-building may sound to you like warm and fuzzy drivel. After all, this is business! I know, but believe me, e-mail relationship building works!
 
3. Supply Full Contact Information
In every newsletter provide full contact information including a physical address and phone number, if possible. In some cases, the CAN-SPAM Act requires it. But it also makes good sense. When people want to respond to your newsletter, help them do so immediately.
 
4. Make It Easy to Unsubscribe
I know you don't want to encourage people to unsubscribe, but subscribers come and go. It's a fact of life. In the US and many other countries, the law&nbsp;requires&nbsp;an easy way to unsubscribe. If you fail to provide one, even though you might not be prosecuted, you will incur the anger of many readers over a period of time and create bad mojo for your brand.
 
So there you have it - great tips that can help you design an effective e-mail newsletter. Now it's time to put these tips into practice. Go for it!

In this article, you will consider some useful tips that will help you format an effective e-mail newsletter. Explore these effective suggestions.
