Warna bibir kepribadian seorang wanita

Warna bibir kepribadian seorang wanita Bibir berpulas lipstik merah menyala, pink terang, atau hanya lipsgloss bisa jadi merefleksikan diri seorang wanita. Bagi mereka yang senang bereksperimen dengan warna bibir bisa jadi Nicki Minaj adalah panutan riasan.

Apa pendapat pria menyaksikan warna-warni lipstik di atas bibir lawan jenis? Matt Bean, Editor senior di Askmen mengungkap pikiran pria terhadap berbagai warna lipstik, seperti dikutip Shine.

Merah klasik : Taylor Swift
 
Ini tanda: perhatikan aku! Pemakainya ingin jadi pusat perhatian. Warna ini bisa menjadi mercusuar bila digunakan saat bertemu dengan orang-orang baru. Saat berkencan dengan suami, bibir merah berarti Anda benar-benar ingin membuatnya bertekuk lutut.

Merah muda terang: Blake Lively

Pemiliknya tak ingin sebuah kisah cinta klasik, tapi sebuah petualangan. Warna hot pink memberitahu satu hal, penggunanya tak takut menjadi seorang yang berbeda.

Ungu gelap/ merah anggur:  Rooney Mara

Dalam pandangan pria, wanita ini tak takut mengambil risiko. Dia seorang wanita yang aktif dan mau menantang bahaya. Bukan menampilkan sisi gelap, sebagian wanita secara alami lebih terlihat menarik dengan pulasan warna gelap.

Netral : Jennifer Lopez

Lipstik yang sama dengan warna kulit membuat penampilan terlihat lebih dingin. Lipgloss netral mengilap juga terlihat pucat.

Oranye Terang: Kirsten Dunst

Warna yang mengingatkan pada buah jeruk ini seperti memperingatkan akan pribadi judes atau menyenangkan. Wanita yang mengenakannya memiliki percaya diri tinggi dan berani mencoba sesuatu yang berbeda.

Metalik: Lady Gaga

Warna ini adalah sesuatu yang lekat dengan masa remaja, dan tampak murahan bila digunakan wanita dewasa. Lipstik dengan glitter, menurut pria hanya pantas digunakan di klub striptis.
 Warna bibir kepribadian seorang wanita Jadi, apa warna lipstik favorit Anda?

Galau Inilah Solusi Tepatnya

Galau Inilah SOlusi Tepatnya ukan hal yang mudah saat melihat mantan kekasih Anda bersama dengan orang lain, padahal Anda sendiri belum sembuh dari rasa patah hati. Namun, bukan berarti dunia berakhir karena masalah cinta.

Ada beberapa hal yang bisa dilakukan untuk mengalihkan perhatian Anda dari si mantan. Seperti dilansir dari laman Cosmopolitan, berikut beberapa tips yang bisa Anda lakukan:

1. Biarkan naluri Anda berjalan secara liar

Patah hati tak lantas membuat dunia Anda berhenti berputar. Buatlah resolusi tahun baru hingga Anda menjadi lebih semangat, misalnya saja dengan mulai membuka hati pada orang-orang di sekeliling Anda. Anda juga bisa berkenalan dengan orang-orang baru, apalagi saat Anda berlibur ke suatu tempat yang asing. Bisa jadi Anda juga bertemu dengan orang-orang yang senasib dan mulai menjalin hubungan pertemanan.

Jadi keluarlah, dan biarkan naluri Anda berjalan dengan liar. Anda akan merasa seksi dan orang-orang juga akan tertarik pada keceriaan Anda. Ini akan meningkatkan harga diri yang sangat besar hingga akan membantu Anda melupakan mantan dan kehidupan cinta barunya.

2. Buat jadwal khusus

Pastikan teman-teman Anda masuk dalam jadwal ini. Sangat penting untuk mengisi kalender sosial Anda sebanyak mungkin dengan kegiatan. Meskipun Anda mungkin muak dengan semua yang menghibur Anda, tapi biarkan mereka membantu Anda melewati masa single.

"Jadwal sesuatu untuk setiap malam dan buat rencana dengan orang yang benar-benar menghargaimu," kata Diana Kirschner, PhD, pakar hubungan dan penulis 'Sealing the Deal: The Love Mentor's Guide to Lasting Love'.

"Jika Anda mengisolasi diri sendiri, Anda akan menjadi lebih tertekan," ungkapnya. Jadilah tuan rumah saat kumpul-kumpul atau rencanakan waktu untuk menonton film bersama. Anda bisa melakukan apapun yang diinginkan dan menghabiskan waktu bersama orang-orang yang memberi pengaruh positif dalam hidup Anda.

3. Manjakan diri

Ketika masih berpasangan, mungkin Anda kehilangan waktu untuk memanjakan diri sendiri. Inilah saatnya, Anda bisa meluangkan waktu untuk memborong sepatu idaman Anda, (terlebih saat semua toko sedang memasang diskon). Anda juga bisa membeli barang yang sedikit mahal untuk mempercantik diri, well kita tidak pernah tahu dimana jodoh kita berada kan?

4. Lampiaskan amarah Anda

Adakalanya kita merasa marah saat melihat si mantan dengan cepatnya berpaling hati pada yang lain. Tentu saja marah bisa membuat Anda melakukan hal-hal yang tak baik. Ambil energi buruk itu dan lampiaskan pada gym. Ambil kelas kickboxing dan lampiaskan amarah Anda di sana. Berlatih bisa mencegah Anda melakukan hal-hal yang buruk, meningkatkan kecerdasan dan melepaskan endorphins pada otak.

Cemilan yang membuat Nafsu Makan

Cemilan yang membuat Nafsu Makan Saat Anda sedang diet, rasanya semua makanan jadi terlihat sangat menggoda. Sebelum diet Anda gagal total, cobalah untuk tidak langsung mencomot makanan-makanan tersebut dan menikmatinya sampai kenyang. Selain itu, pilih-pilih lagi makanan dan kudapan Anda, jangan-jangan ada di antaranya yang justru memicu timbulnya keinginan untuk makan lebih banyak.

1. Bumbu dan rempah-rempah
Beberapa jenis bumbu dan rempah terbukti bagus untuk kesehatan. Namun menyantap beberapa jenis bumbu dan rempah ini dalam makanan ternyata bisa menimbulkan rasa lapar. Misalnya kandungan mustard dalam masakan, yang ternyata bisa meningkatkan produksi air liur dan cairan pencernaan sebagai cara alami untuk merangsang nafsu makan, ketika sudah selesai makan. Selain itu kunyit, jahe, dan peterseli juga bisa merangsang nafsu makan.

2. Kurang konsumsi protein
Asupan protein dalam makanan bisa membantu menyampaikan sinyal rasa kenyang ke otak dan perut setelah makan. Menurut ahli holistik, Mark Hyman, MD, kurangnya konsumsi protein ternyata bisa menyebabkan rasa lapar muncul tiba-tiba, dan kecenderungan untuk ngemil. Menurut penelitian terbaru yang dilakukan terhadap beberapa relawan, orang yang mengonsumsi protein kurang dari 15 persen dari total kalori yang disantapnya akan merasa jauh lebih lapar dan lebih banyak ngemil dibandingkan dengan orang yang cukup mengonsumsi protein.

Dr Hyman mengungkapkan, sebaiknya Anda memenuhi kebutuhan protein saat sarapan. "Salah satu triknya adalah dengan makan makanan dengan protein tinggi saat sarapan, seperti telur rebus atau yogurt Yunani," tambahnya.

3. Gula dan garam berlebihan
Beberapa dekade terakhir, banyak produsen makanan menemukan bahwa manusia tak pernah puas untuk menyantap gula dan garam. Tak heran jika sekarang ini banyak terdapat makanan atau minuman instan yang rasanya sangat gurih, karena menggunakan gula dan garam yang berfungsi untuk meningkatkan rasa lapar.

Kandungan gula dalam saus pasta kemasan ternyata lebih banyak dibandingkan gula pada es krim vanila per porsinya. Sereal memiliki kandungan garam yang lebih banyak ketimbang kentang goreng. Ini semua membuat kita ingin makan lebih banyak. Analoginya, jika Anda sudah makan makanan manis, lebih enak jika dinetralisasi dengan makanan asin. Padahal, garam dan gula merupakan perangsang nafsu makan. Sebaiknya hindari makanan terlalu manis atau terlalu asin agar tidak terserang rasa lapar tiba-tiba.

4. Makanan rendah kalori
Makanan rendah lemak ternyata mengandung lebih banyak gula, karbohidrat, dan natrium untuk meningkatkan rasa. Namun, efeknya ternyata bisa memicu makan berlebihan. Sebuah penelitian yang dimuat dalam jurnal Nutrition menunjukkan bahwa kandungan pemanis buatan dalam minuman diet juga dapat merangsang nafsu makan. Ingatlah bahwa tubuh juga tetap membutuhkan nutrisi tertentu dan lemak sehat, misalnya kalsium, dan omega-3 yang meningkatkan kesehatan jantung.

"Itulah mengapa sebabnya, saya selalu menyarankan untuk menyantap salad dengan saus dressing biasa dan bukan dressing rendah lemak. Karena, di dalam saus tersebut terdapat minyak sehat seperti zaitun atau minyak canola," ungkap ahli diet Carolanne Nelson. Untuk mengatasinya, konsumsi saja makanan yang biasa disantap, namun batasi porsinya agar tidak menjadi gemuk.

Tipe Wanita Pembelanja

Tipe Wanita Pembelanja Rasanya, tak ada perempuan yang tak suka berbelanja. Namun seperti ketika kita memiliki selera yang berbeda tentang apa yang dibeli, kita pun memiliki cara yang berbeda dalam mendapatkan barang tersebut. Jika Anda mengaku sebagai a big shopper, enam kategori di bawah ini mungkin berlaku untuk Anda:

The One-Store Shopper. Anda hanya akan browsing di satu butik saja, tak peduli apa pun yang Anda inginkan. Anda setia dengan satu atau dua merek saja atau dengan toko tertentu saja, dan betah berlama-lama di dalam butik tersebut untuk membeli atasan, jeans, sepatu, jaket, tas, atau aksesori lainnya.

The Bargain-Hunter. Anda sangat menikmati pusat pertokoan yang mirip gang senggol, asalkan Anda bisa menawar harga sepuasnya. Anda terbiasa blusukan di pertokoan di kawasan Tanah Abang, atau ITC untuk mendapatkan harga terbaik, dan hafal dimana letak toko-toko langganan Anda. Anda begitu pintar merayu, hingga seringkali pemilik tokonya turun tangan menghadapi Anda untuk memberikan harga khusus. Selain itu Anda juga termasuk pemburu diskon di department store. Asalkan diskon cukup besar Anda pasti akan membeli barang tersebut, tak peduli apakah Anda membutuhkannya atau tidak.

The Buying-Things-Without-Trying-Them-On Shopper. Seringkali karena malas menunggu antrian di fitting room, Anda memutuskan untuk langsung membeli barang tanpa mencobanya lebih dulu. Anda juga tak ragu-ragu menggunakan kartu kredit untuk membayar barang yang cukup mahal, dan tidak merasa sayang karena harus berhutang dalam waktu lama. Akibatnya, lemari pakaian Anda dipenuhi baju-baju yang tidak terpakai, karena meskipun muat di badan, pakaian-pakaian tersebut tidak layak dipakai. Entah karena belahan dadanya terlalu rendah, potongan di ketiak terlalu sempit, atau bagian bahu yang terasa tidak nyaman.

The Online Shopper. Karena sudah merasakan asyiknya berbelanja secara online, Anda makin yakin bahwa kebanyakan online store dapat diandalkan. Anda merasa nyaman dengan cara berbelanja ini, karena menghemat waktu dan uang, dan tidak repot. Online shopper sendiri terdiri atas beberapa tipe: orang yang memang malas berbelanja dan bertransaksi di toko, orang yang termakan iklan (karena begitu melihat katalog langsung tertarik berbelanja karena takut kehabisan), dan orang yang ingin membeli barang-barang yang unik atau enggak pasaran, yang hanya tersedia di toko-toko online.

The Thrift Shopper. Anda suka mendatangi acara garage sale untuk mendapatkan barang-barang bekas berkualitas dengan harga murah. Entah itu pakaian, sepatu, buku-buku, alat olahraga, juga perabotan atau alat-alat rumah tangga. Namun ada juga orang yang justru menyukai barang-barang yang terlihat sudah dipakai, misalnya perabotan dari kayu jati.

The Emotional Shopper. Nah, Anda tentu paling paham siapa yang dimaksud dengan pembelanja emosional. Mungkin Anda termasuk di dalamnya. Anda menganggap aktivitas berbelanja mampu mengusir stres dengan cepat. Anda merasa langsung ingin ke mal dan pulang membawa sepatu baru, ketika sesuatu yang buruk terjadi pada Anda. Anda baru putus dengan kekasih, jenuh dengan pekerjaan yang seolah tak ada habisnya, atau tak tahan berada di rumah karena kakak atau adik sering bertengkar dengan ibu Anda. Untuk mengatasi semua masalah itu, Anda merasa berbelanja jalan keluar satu-satunya.
