Beauty can be a lot of fun and there are so many ways one can either improve upon their appearance or change their look entirely. So whether you need more techniques to make yourself appear more like what you want to look like or if you’re looking for something new, take a look at the tips below.
One way to get the most out of your nail polish is to add a bit of polish remover, if you find that it is starting to dry out in the bottle. You should just put a little then put the lid back on and shake it up. This trick will make your polish last longer, giving you enough for a couple more coats.
Scientists have shown in studies that a great many people find symmetry to be beautiful. In order to appear beautiful, it is a good idea to maintain symmetry. Attempt in your own routine to create a more symmetrical image.
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.
Using an eyelash curler before applying mascara is a good idea. Your curled eyelashes will not only look longer than they are, but the entire area of your eyes can be visually lifted and look brighter. When using an eyelash curler, start at the bottom of the lashes and squeeze for a single second. Move the curler closer to the tips of your lashes and repeat. This helps make the curling angle more natural instead of abrupt.
Do you have trouble with chipped or scratched nails? Remember to use a top coat! This will protect your nails and keep them looking freshly manicured for a full week! Clear nail polish is an entirely different product, so be sure you use a top coat for maximum durability. You need to buy the top coat instead of the clear nail polish.
Always apply a heat protectant spray to your hair before using a curling iron, flat iron or hair dryer. Heat can damage your hair, leaving it brittle, dry and full of split ends. Just like their name implies, heat protectant sprays coat your hair to protect it from the heat. This allows it to stay smooth, sleek and shiny no matter how you choose to style your hair.
Using Vaseline on your cuticles once weekly will help your fingernails grow. This will help your nails grow longer and stronger. Use a top coat after painting your fingernails to reduce chipping.
If your favorite color nail polish is getting empty and a bit tacky, add a few drops of nail polish remover to give it new life! You don’t have to throw away a half empty bottle of nail lacquer, just mix in a small amount of regular remover, shake well and your old polish will work like new again.
If after moving or dancing a lot you feel like you are glowing with sweat and oil, a great help is cheap toilet paper. That rough toilet paper makes a great oil blotter at these moments. You can refresh your look by gently blotting all the oil from your face!
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!
If you find that your feet are dry and scaly looking and feeling, try using a petroleum jelly product to treat them. Apply a generous amount on your feet and cover them with thick socks at night before you go to bed. Your feet will absorb the moisture out of the petroleum jelly and will quickly look and feel much better.
Spray mist over your face after you have your makeup applied. It will set the makeup and keep it where it should be much longer. This is a great method to use when you have a long day ahead of you like if it is your wedding day or you have a night out after work planned.
If you have ever caught yourself peeling off nail polish because it had begun to chip, it’s possible you have done damage to your nail. When the nail polish is peeled off like this, there is a chance you are taking off a layer of the nail plate. This can cause your nail to thin out or crack. Opt for an acetone-free nail polish remover instead.
If you have ever woken up in the morning and discovered that areas of your face are puffy, look to your refrigerator and a cucumber. You can cut up a cucumber and massage it over your entire face using a circular upward and outward motion. The cucumber has a natural astringent to help reduce swelling.
Beauty can be a very effective tool to have in your arsenal for whatever needs you may have. You may already have a defined look and want to know how to save time or you may want to learn something new for a fresh look. No matter your reasons, hopefully the tips above gave you some ideas.
