HOW TO APPLY EYE SHADOW

How do you apply your makeup? Standing in front of a mirror? That will
be the response of most of us. the best place to apply your eye makeup
isn't standing in front of a mirror. Sitting down at a table or desk
with a tilt-type mirror in front of you will give you more control and
a better look.
Lets practice now, get a mirror in front of your desk now and look
down in the mirror and see what I'm talking about. You are sure to see
more of your lid and eye area at this angle. You will have a smoother
eyelid to work on and you won't have to squint or close one eye to put
the eye makeup on.
This also works well if you are doing a more elaborate eye
makeup "design" with more than one color, or applying false
eyelashes, or applying dark shadow in the crease of your eye to define
the area more.
Do you always start at the corner of your eye
(near the nose) when applying eye shadow? You'll leave too much of a
shadow deposit
there. Instead, apply about an inch away first, stroking the color
outward, across the fullest part of the lid. Then, go back to the
inner corner and dust the color that is left on the applicator in the
corner of the lid.
For a nice finished look, smudge aplum, brown, or charcoal
gray pencil liner along the outer third of the upper and lower lash
line before you apply your mascara.

West Ham Owner's son "Disappointed" with Chamakh's Loan Deal

West Ham have signed Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh on loan - although one supporter of the club in particular is far from happy about the deal. Breaking the news on Twitter, Jack Sullivan - son of Hammers co-owner David - posted: "I am very sorry about this news Chamakh has sign a 6 month loan deal! not my pick :(" according to mirror.co.uk, Jack Sullivan has a track record of revealing inside information about West Ham deals on Twitter. Though many fans welcome his honesty and insight, this latest outburst could be seen as an embarrassment to the club's management as the post was made before Hammers had officially confirmed the deal. Only a couple of hours earlier manager Sam Allardyce had told reporters in his Friday press conference that the club had made an 'enquiry' about Chamakh . "The situation I have with Andy Carroll being injured and Modibo Maiga going to the African Cup of Nations, this moment as a striker we have Carlton Cole and that's it,"said Allardyce. The Moroccan striker can at least take heart from Jack Sullivan's follow-up post: "I hope Chamakh can prove me wrong !?!?!?"

A 40-year-old pastor, Alasco Sobowale, has been rearrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl in Epe area of the state. Police authorities said the suspect, who is a pastor at Okiki Imole Church, Epe, was rearrested on Thursday at his home located at 10, Togodo Street, Temu Town. The police had arrested Sobowale on December 21, 2012, for allegedly raping the minor but was later released on bail because courts were not in session. However, after PUNCH Metro published the story on Thursday, the policemen attached to Epe Division stormed his home and rearrested him. A police source, who craved anonymity, said, “The pastor should never have been released in the first place and the police high command is very much interested. If Sobowale was released because courts were not in session, why were all other suspects in police custody not granted bail as well? “Rape is a very serious offence and we will make sure that he is prosecuted. After the publication, many members of the community, including elders, rose against the pastor and promised to make sure that the case was pursued to a logical conclusion.” “The suspect has been transferred to the SCID Yaba for further investigation and he will be charged with rape and sodomy,” spokes person of state police command, Ngozi Braide said. Correspondents of Punch News reported that the victim had been referred to Epe General Hospital for medical treatment.

OBASANJO: THE SMOKE FROM THE FIRE WAS ENOUGH TO KILL ANY LIVING BEING

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday said providence saved him from the fire which recently burnt a part of his Hilltop Mansion in Abeokuta, Ogun State. If the fire which consumed his secretary’s office had occurred during the night, the former President said he would have been suffocated by fumes from the inferno. He spoke when the executive members of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party visited him in Abeokuta. According to him, the smoke from the fire, which enveloped his bedroom, was enough to kill any living being. He said, “The fire, which occurred in the office of my private secretary, resulted in thick smoke which pervaded my bedroom. If it had happened at night, I would have been a dead person.” Obasanjo, who thanked God for sparing his life to witness the New Year, said since the incident, he had continued to receive calls from within and outside the country. He said, “I want to thank you all who called me on the telephone, both within and outside the country. Let us appreciate the mercy and kindness of God. There were many of us who started last year, but are no more today. We are not mocking them but extolling God. “In fact, that I am able to stand erect is God’s blessings. Many in my age group cannot stand well anymore. I am not mocking them, but I am thanking God. My hope and prayer are that this year will be a glorious year.”

Ferguson Rubbishes Retirement Talks

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson Sir Alex Ferguson has stated there is no likelihood of an imminent managerial vacancy at Manchester United. With Pep Guardiola due to end his post-Barcelona sabbatical next summer, Jose Mourinho tipped to leave Real Madrid and David Moyes’ Everton contract ready to expire, three of the major candidates to replace Ferguson could be available at the end of the season. It has led to suggestions Ferguson, who celebrated his 71st birthday on Monday, will call time on a Manchester United career which now extends beyond 26 years. However, in an interview with the Abu Dhabi Sports channel, Ferguson makes it clear he is going nowhere. “I’m hoping to stay on for a bit of time,” he said. And, though Guardiola, Mourinho and Moyes are bound to be at the top of the list if they are available, Ferguson highlights the precarious nature of football management and states further consideration is impossible. “It’s very difficult,” he said. “Over the years, names have been bandied about but football is such a precarious industry. “But you could be talking about one of the potentially exciting young managers in the game, but is he going to be here in twoor three years’ time?”

Jonathan Has Listed His Priorities for the New Year.

The President, in the traditional message to Nigerians to usher in the New Year, who said that his administration will give priority to flood and erosion control, rehabilitation and expansion of federal roads, improved power supply, as well as continued rehabilitation, upgrading and reactivation of the national rail network in 2013, also listed employment generation and wealth creation as areas that will remain a primary objective of his socio-economic agenda for this year. Jonathan who thanked God for bringing us and the nation safely through the past year to the beginning of 2013, assured that by God’s grace, the New Year will be a much better year for Nigerians and the country. “Creating more employment opportunities for our youth and graduates of our universities is an imperative that will continue to underpin our drive for massive economic growth, the rapid expansion of our manufacturing and industrial base, and the productive diversification of our national economy. In this regard, we will continue to provide the necessary enabling environment for the private sector to thrive”. On peace and security, Jonathan assured that this year, more will be done to further empower security agencies who are working in collaborative partnerships with the international community to stem the scourge of terrorism in the country and enhance the security of lives and property nationwide. “I also want to assure Nigerians that we will refuse to be discouraged by those who have taken it upon themselves to pick on every initiative and effort of this administration. We remain resolutely committed to the rule of law, Due Process and fair play in all circumstances. Our democracy continues to grow, and the scope for human freedom continues to expand. It is an achievement that we will continue to build upon. I say it again, we are determined to continue to push forward. We will do more, not less. We will remain focused. “For your part, dear compatriots, I urge that you all include in your New Year resolutions a commitment to do more this year to support the implementation of the Federal Government’s Agenda for NationalTransformation in every possible way. That is all I ask for. The task of making our dear nation a much better place for present and future generations cannot be left to government alone. Leaders and followers alike have critical roles to play in our march towards the fulfillment of our great national potentials. “Let us all therefore, resolve as we celebrate the New Year to place the higher interests of national unity, peace, stability and progress above all other considerations and work harder in our particular fields of human endeavour to contribute more significantly to the attainment of our collective aspirations”, he said. The President said his administration last year “achieved a lot in terms of the positive transformation of vital sectors of our national life such as public infrastructure, power supply, oil and gas, transportation, education, health and agricultural development. We will continue to work diligently in 2013 to ensure that our efforts in these areas are carried forward to full fruition in fulfillment of our promise of better public services and improved living conditions for all Nigerian”, the President noted.
