If you have striking brown eyes, you can play them up by adding eyeshadow, liner, and mascara in colors that are especially flattering for your eye color. Look for rich, matte shadows in shades of green, copper, and blue. These colors add depth and intensity to your eye color, especially when topped with a few coats of navy mascara.
Take your time applying a fake tan. Make sure you have at least 30 minutes before going to bed or getting dressed. If you are in a hurry then wait to do it because you may get streaky results. It is important to make sure you properly apply a fake tan.
Exfoliate your face and neck at least 2 times a week. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and bring new skin cells to the surface. This will make you look healthy and refreshed when you do this, but you should avoid doing it too much because it can irritate your face.
Add volume to your hair. You can easily do this by blow drying your hair upside-down for at least 10 minutes. When your hair is dry, give it a cool blast of air to set the volume in. You can make your hair have more bounce and volume just by doing this.
If you want your face to look more narrow than now, you can adjust your hair styling and color. Try a hairstyle that features long and sleek lines. The length of it should land between your shoulders and jawline. You can even add lowlights and highlights that help frame the face. This will draw attention to these facial features.
Take care not to over tweeze your eyebrows. Repeated over-plucking can result in areas where hair refuses to grow back, resulting in bald spots. If you have already developed bare spots in your brows, fill in the areas with a brow pencil temporarily while applying a product to regrow the hair.
Use a misting spray to set makeup. After you are finished fully making up your face, lightly mist yourself with a sprayer. This will set your makeup, keeping it in place longer before requiring you to touch it up. This is perfect for long nights out or events such as weddings.
If you have a torn nail, use a small part of a bag of tea. First, remove the leaves from the bag. After taking the tea out you should use it to cover your nail tear. Then, put that on top of your nail and cover the whole thing with some clear nail polish.
If you have the money, you may want to get another set of cosmetics that you normally use, like foundation, lipstick or lotion. Keep one in a safe place, like a work drawer, and keep the other at home. This can give you a strong backup plan if you are to forget a step when in a rush.
You don’t need to buy expensive beauty products. Use natural products like aloe vera and white vinegar. These are good for any kind of skin type. For moisture that aloe cannot provide, use some Vitamin E oil. Tea tree oil can work as a medicated toner.
Give your face a monthly beauty treatment. You do not need to go to a spa to get your skin in its best shape. You can, instead, give yourself a complete facial at home. Start with a product to exfoliate, follow with a mudpack, next apply an astringent, and finish with a deep moisturizer.
To reduce red tones in your skin, use a green based concealer. Because green and red are opposite from each other on the color wheel, the green tones in the concealer will cancel out any red tones in your skin. However, keep in mind that you only need to use a very small amount of concealer to counteract the red. If you use too much you can wind up looking green instead.
Rosewater and cucumbers can be used to ease the puffiness and dark circles under your eyes. Either of these remedies will lighten the color of the skin under your eyes while cooling them at the same time. Using cucumber slices is age old remedy for the eyes. You can also dip a cotton swab in rosewater or cucumber juice and placing it on the eyes for approximately 15 minutes.
Never ever apply a tanning lotion when you are in a hurry as this will always lead to disaster! This is one beauty item you really need to take your time with otherwise you end up looking freaky, so smooth the tanning lotion well over elbows, knees and feet and wash your hands thoroughly to avoid streaking. Use your tanning lotion well in advance of sleeping to prevent a complete botch job and well in advance of any special occasion, just in case!
If you’re in between hair dresser appointments, and need to hide some roots, use dark mascara on black or brunette hair and gold eye shadow on blond hair! Nobody is perfect and if you’ve scheduled your hair salon appointment too far in advance to save your roots from showing, brush them lightly with appropriately colored mascara or combine hair spray and blond shades of powder to conceal those roots until you can see your stylist!
