Feng Shui Color in Origami Cranes


Feng Shui is an ancient practice of color, object and location. Much of it has been developed over thousands of years, based on experience in common sense. For example, many feng shui entries discuss the placement of mirrors and windows. These are based on issues of safety and comfort - you wouldn't want a window right by a bed, where you could roll out or a thief could come in! Other experience with color has been bourne out by scientific studies - that humans innately equate some colors with certain emotions.

Remember, your own experiences with color may vary from these. If you grew up in a pink room, pink may bring happy emotions of comfort and love. But here are the standard Feng Shui meanings of the colors.

Red
As you can see at Chinese New Year, red is the color of great luck and fortune. It brings money, success and protection from harm. In movies, it is the Lady in the Red Dress who gets the suitors.

Orange
Orange is the color of the shining sun, and it brings creativity. If you're an artist or someone in need of organization in your life, orange is the color to bring in.

Yellow
Yellow stands for sunbeams and cheer. It brings friendship, caring and comfort. Many studies have shown that cheerfulness can help bring better health and longer life.

Green
Green is the color of nature, of growing shoots and flowers. It is the color of health, balance, and growth.

Blue
Blue is found in the sky and sea, in the fast expanses of nature. This is the color of relaxation, of stress relief, of wisdom and patience.

Purple
In medieval days, purple was the color of kings and queens, of princes and princesses. Treat yourself like royalty and bring elegance and calm into your world.

Brown
Brown is the color of earth, of root vegetables. It is the color of stability, of home, of house, and of stability in business and enterprise.

Black
You might think that black is a negative color, but actually it is an extremely strong color, like the black in obsidian and other strong stones. It is the color of career success, financial success and power. It also brings emotional security.

MAKEUP TIP 1:

A beautiful makeover begins with the right foundation. Most women have yellow based skin. This includes most Caucasian and all Asian, Latin and African women. This is one of the most important makeup tips!

When we women with yellow-based skin wear foundation that is too pink or orange, it often looks artificial and two-toned. This is because the undertone in the foundation "clashes" with our natural yellow-based skin.

To create the look naturally flawless skin, you must wear a foundation with a yellow base. Sacha manufactures the only yellow-based foundations in the world. They perfectly match every complexion, leaving your skin looking flawless and natural-looking. You never look orangey, pasty or un-natural. When you walk into a room people notice you and not your makeup!

SKIN CARE TIPS :

• Clear healthy skin is the perfect canvas for makeup. Use Sacha's simple but effective cleansing routine: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize, Renew.
• For excessively oily skin use our Purifying Gel Cleanser to gently wash away the excess oils.
• Regardless of skin color or skin type you must use a daily moisturizer with at least SPF 15 sun protection. This is one of the most important makeup tips. For dry skin use Sacha's Hydration Plus Daily Moisturizer. For oily skin use Sacha's Hydrating Daily Moisturizer. These moisturizers can be worn alone or as excellent under makeup bases.

FOUNDATION MAKEUP TIPS :

• For a great makeover you must start with the right foundation. Whereas eye shadow, lipstick, and blush accent the face, it is the foundation that sets the tone for a woman's appearance. Sacha's foundations are all yellow-based.
• If you are like most women, you have yellow-based skin and must wear a yellow-based foundation. Our Sacha Foundations are available in cream, liquid, or dual activ (powder and foundation in one). Test your foundation on the jaw line or forehead.
• Sacha foundation shades "jump" equally. On your jaw line, apply the shade you believe to be closest to your skin tone. Apply the next lighter shade above and the next darker shade below. The shade that disappears into your skin is the correct shade for your complexion.

FACE POWDER MAKEUP TIPS :

• Set your foundations with a Sacha Loose Powder. Keep your compact powder handy for touch ups during the day. If you 'shine' a lot you should use an oil absorbent powder such as Sacha's Ultra Matte Powders in Light, Medium or Dark.

CHEEK COLOR MAKEUP TIPS :

• When applying blush use a darker shade to contour your face and "lift" your cheekbones. Apply from the earlobe downward to mid-cheek so you do not leave a"blob"of color on the cheek. Use light colors of blush to highlight.

EYE MAKEUP TIPS :


Use Sacha's eye shadows to reflect your every mood. With a bit of practice you can easily master how to apply your eye shadow. When applying eyeshadow, remember that dark colors recede features and light colors highlight.

• Apply the lightest shade over the entire eyelid.
• Apply the medium shade on the lower eyelid.
• Apply the darkest shade in the outer corner of the eye to create depth
• Apply eyeliner with short strokes, starting form the center of the eye and working towards the corners.
  
• Mascara finishes your makeup. If you have dark eyes use black, navy, dark brown or clear mascara.

LIP COLOR MAKEUP TIPS :


Choose a lipstick, which reflects your personal psyche. There are 48 colors from which to choose in the Sacha range.

Use a lip brush when applying lipstick. It will not only help define the contours of your mouth, but also helps to control the amount of color that is applied.

• Applying powder lightly over the lips before applying lipstick helps it to stay on longer.

Use Sacha's Vitamin E Stick under your lipstick to condition and protect your lips from becoming chapped and dry.

Use Sacha Lip Gloss alone to give a light, natural but finished look or over your lipstick to enhance its color.

• For easy lipstick stain removal, apply glycerin to affected area and wash as usual.

NAIL COLOR MAKEUP TIPS :

• Select a nail polish to match the general tones of your makeup. For instance if you used natural shades on your eyes, lips and cheeks, then your nail color should also be natural.

CAMOUFLAGE MAKEUP TIPS :

• Use Kamaflage Cover Cream to conceal your skin blemishes. Kamaflage is yellow based and like our foundations, will perfectly match your skin tone. Use it as a concealer or as a foundation.

FINISHING MAKEUP TIPS :

• Use Sacha's Fix It Spray as the last step of your makeup routine. Spray from 8 - 12 inches. Your makeup will stay in place longer and will leave you with a more finished look.

How do you choose a color for your vehicle? Why not try to Feng Shui?

Buying a New Car? Use Feng Shui to Select Your Success Color
by Kathryn Weber

Feng Shui Your Car Color GraphicWith September’s arrival comes the annual car buying season. But while selecting the type of car comes easily to most people, making a decision on the color of a car can be a stumbling block. Some people simply go with their favorite color, while others mull over color choices by considering factors such as climate, type of vehicle use, or the most practical choice, going with what is least likely to show dirt. But what if even that fails? Then try feng shui. Yes, feng shui, the Chinese guide used for arranging homes and offices, can also be used for selecting colors based on an individual’s own personal feng shui.

According to personal feng shui, each person has an individual feng shui number that is based on gender and date of birth. This number, also called a “kua” number is associated with a color. By selecting the correct color for an individual’s particular feng shui number, the driver will experience better luck over all because the color is harmonized with that individual.

Use personal feng shui to select a “success” color, which can be helpful when buying that luxury sedan. More into soccer practice than boardrooms? Choose a “family” color. Both colors are determined by the driver’s kua number. To determine the driver’s kua number, and subsequently the color of car that is appropriate, use the instructions below and then check the chart that follow for selecting a success or family color. Now, who should drive the Mary Kay pink Cadillacs? Anyone with a number 3 kua number!

The calculation is as follows:

-Take the year of birth, i.e., 1971
-Add the last two years together (7+1=8)
For men, subtract the number from 10 (10-8+2); 2 is the kua number
For women, add 5 to the number (5+8=13; 1+3= 4); 4 is the kua number
For years such as 1982 which have a double digit, be sure to reduce to one number
8+2=10 (1+0=1)
10-1=9 (Kua for men)
5+1=6 (Kua for women)
