Beauty is a lot more that just fixing your hair or swiping some makeup on your face. It is truly an art form. It has so many techniques and products that require a keen eye, precisions and a sharp attention to detail. Do you have what it takes? Regardless of your answer, here are some tips to help you.
Air drying your hair as much as you can is the best way to avoid heat damage. The hair and the scalp can really suffer from the curling iron, straightening iron, and hair dryer. If you do have to use a blow dryer, put it on a low setting. This ensures that your hair will be kept soft and silky for many years.
To help your eyeliner last all day, apply a thin layer of eyeshadow in a matching color over the top of it. Most eyeliners have a tendency to fade or run throughout the day. This is particularly true for oil-based eyeliner pencils. You can eliminate this problem by brushing a layer of matching eyeshadow directly over the top of the eyeliner using a thin makeup brush. This helps to set it so it stays in place all day.
Exercise daily. By moving your body each day, it will help to not only keep you healthy but will also keep you looking younger. This vital for your beauty regimen. You need to exercise at least 15-20 minutes every day! Whether it be vacuuming your abode, or walking a few blocks, you must keep active.
Use cocoa butter on stretchmarks and scars. Cocoa butter is a beauty treatment with roots in ancient times. It has long been known to normalize skin-tone, and to make your skin more resilient. Cocoa butter has a small price-tag, and is available almost anywhere you can buy lotions or creams.
When applying winged eyeliner, extend the line at the outer edge of your eye so that it follows the natural curve of your lower lash line. This helps it blend with the shape of your eye so that it looks more natural. The eyeliner should be thickest at the outer corner of your eye and then taper to a point at the tip of the wing.
If you love a certain nail polish, and it starts to look a little dry or is about to run out, add a little bit of nail polish remover to the bottle. Shake it very well, and you will end up with having an easier time getting some more use out of it.
To keep the skin around your eyes from getting dry, use a moisturizing eye cream every night. Keeping this skin can prevent dark circles, along with preventing the development of wrinkles and lines.
Epsom salts can be used more for your beauty regimen. Epsom salts are know to have benefits like making muscles feel better, and they may be a great mild laxative. Make a paste by combining the Epsom salts with water and lavender. Rub the paste onto your skin and let it penetrate overnight. Your skin will look better by the next day.
If you ever run out of concealer you can turn to your foundation! Simply turn the cap of the foundation over and you will find a thicker, more condensed collection of it which you can use in a pinch in place of your regular concealer. Simply dab your finger tip in the cap and pat the foundation under eyes or over any other blemish!
For those days when you have skimped on sleep the previous night and it shows in your eyes, skip lining or applying mascara to your lower lash line. Put the focus on your lids and upper lashes, and you are less likely to accentuate dark circles, making you look even more tired.
Cover up your roots. If you are in between trips to the hairdresser and your roots are showing cover them up with mascara. For lighter colored hair use a little extra hairspray and dust with a gold colored eyeshadow. This will cover up roots until you get your hair colored again.
If you feel as though you are having one off day you shouldn’t fret. There are some aspects that are out of your control which will affect your daily appearance. One of the biggest variables is the weather and a humid day can wreck havoc on someone, especially a woman who has larger hair.
