You can create the illusion of bigger lips if you put just a bit of shiny white eye shadow on your cupid’s bow. The illusion of fuller lip is the result of the reflection of the light that this highlighting provides.
Occasionally, a pimple or other skin blemish can affect our appearance. To get rid of a pimple quickly, put a dab of toothpaste on it. Let the toothpaste dry for about 10 minutes. This should make the pimple less prominent.
Make sure your foundation matches. Before buying a new foundation, you should test it on the inside of your wrist. This skin is comparable to the skin on your face and will give you a good example of what this makeup will look like on your face and how it feels.
Make foundation last longer by mixing it with moisturizer. Also, it will make your face shine more and provide you with SPF.
Make sure your lip liner and eyeliner pencils are sharpened before you use them. That way, you know that they are clean and ready for use. A handy trick to help make sharpening of make-up pencils easy is to put them in to the fridge or freezer for around 10 minutes.
Try using small pieces of any teabag for torn nails. Empty the bag first. Then, cut a small section from the bag that is big enough for covering the damaged area on your nail. Simply, place your patch over the tear and coat the entire nail, including the patch, with nail strengthener or clear nail polish.
To whiten and brighten your teeth, add a little baking soda to your toothbrush once a week. Just sprinkle a little baking soda in the palm of your hand, dampen your toothbrush and press the bristles into the baking soda, add toothpaste and brush your teeth as usual. Don’t do this more than once a week since baking soda can be hard on your tooth enamel if overused.
Make your skin more beautiful by eating fruit. If you have a sweet tooth, and satiate it with sugar, you can quickly see it on your skin. You can feed your sweet tooth, and your skin, by eating sweet fruit in place of anything sugary. When you do this, your skin won’t be the only beneficiary.
To clean your skin without depriving it of its natural oils, use a cream cleanser. A cream cleanser will help lock in the skin healthy oils on your face, and will also leave your face moisturized and glowing. Using this type of cleanser will slow the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
For clear and sparkling eyes, apply drops throughout the day. That way, you can stave off irritation and dryness as well. Anyone who stares at a monitor all day should keep these eye drops handy. Keep a bottle of eye drops in your office for maximum results.
Both rosewater and cucumbers can be used to remove dark circles from under the eyes. They contain properties to soothe thin skin and make it appear lighter. Moisten a cotton pad with either cucumber juice or rosewater, and then place the pads over your eyes for approximately 15 minutes.
If you have found a shampoo and conditioner that work well for you, then you should stick with them even if the brands may be different. It is best to choose those that have the same style intentions, however, such as getting both products for curl enhancers, color enhancers, etc., as the ingredients will be similar.
Make any eye shadow bend to your will. If you are bored with the shadow choices in your beauty kit, it may be time to get creative. Try using a moistened brush to apply your shadow. You will find it brighter and more interesting than it was before. Try it as an eyeliner too.
If you have sensitive skin there are certain things you should avoid doing in order to keep your skin healthy and looking its best. Do not wash your face with regular soap, do not use harsh, overly strong cosmetics, do not use facial masks that dry out the skin, avoid the use of foaming cosmetics and do not use cosmetics that contain fruit acids or alcohol.
Never ever go to bed with your makeup on your face. This causes more damage than just ruining a good pillow case. Your pores will get extremely clogged and you will suffer many blemishes. Taking the time to wash your face each night will surely benefit you for many years.
The mouth is the ultimate attention getter. If you wear lipstick, know that the color you wear can work for or against you. Choose a color that compliments your skin and that is “in” for the season and you will look amazing. If you want to help your lipstick last longer, apply powder over the first coat and then reapply. If you don’t wear lipstick, make sure your lips are well hydrated and you regularly use chapstick. Chapped cracked lips will detract from your appearance.
Now that you have an idea on where to start crafting your own personal beauty regimen, are you ready to start experimenting? Are you ready to apply what you have read to your body? Can you start bettering your appearance properly and smartly? If you can, then have fun! If not, make sure you go back through the tips again.
