There are a lot of different aspects to beauty; if you have a problem with any of them, this article is for you. Keep reading to see how you can use these ideas everyday to be more beautiful.
If you allow your hair to air dry as much as you can, your hair will not suffer from heat damage. Using heated styling tools too often can dry out and break your hair. If you must use a hair dryer, keep it on the absolute lowest setting. If you apply this tip, your hair will remain soft and silky as you age.
If you have overly round eyes, you can elongate them by adjusting your eyeliner application. The outer two-thirds of your lower and upper lash lines should be lined with a dark brown liner. The two lines should meet at the outer corner of each eye. Finally, apply two coats of mascara to your outer upper lashes.
For beautiful nails, put top coat on top of your nail polish every time. Topcoat will not only keep your nails looking shiny, it will extend the length of time between polishing. Avoid substituting clear nail polish for topcoat as it is not the same product, and will not provide the same benefit.
When taking a bath or shower, don’t use hot water. Using hot water opens your pores, allowing the natural oils in your skin to escape. The water will wash the good oils away. Try taking warm or lukewarm showers to retain your skin’s natural oils and keep it soft. Warm water is also cheaper than hot!
Remember that drinking plenty of pure water is one of the best ways to stay beautiful. It cleanses your system and helps keep your skin moisturized, your eyes bright, and your joints well padded and flexible. Pure water can be considered a “fountain of youth”. Enjoying plenty of it will keep you beautiful throughout your life.
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.
Tone down a lipstick that is too bold or bright. A great way to make an overly pigmented shade easier on the eyes is to put some on the back of your hand, dab it with foundation, mix, and apply to lips. Your new shade should now be a better match for your tone.
To brighten your skin, try making homemade face masks. Face masks can typically be made from things you have around your house and will give your skin a lovely, natural glow. Look for mask recipes with ingredients like tomato juice, sandlewood powder, or oatmeal. All of these things are great for your face!
If you are looking for that natural shine from your eyebrows and lashes, petroleum jelly is a great tool to use. Apply some at bedtime, every single night. When you wake up, make sure to remember to wash it off. This will keep your eyelashes and brows shiny, all day long.
Epsom salts are inexpensive, plentiful, and great for beauty treatments. Epsom salts are traditionally used to relieve muscle aches and constipation. Mix it with lavender and a little water until a paste is formed. You will now be able to apply this to areas that are giving your trouble. Leave this on overnight. You will look better as well!
A great way to accentuate the upper lash line and not create an overly spidery fringe is to apply a strip of the false lashes that are used for your lower lashes. Apply from corner to corner and because they are shorter than usual falsies, they will thicken the lash line and not cause excessive elongation.
Remember that excess sun exposure is not only bad for your skin, it is also bad for your hair. As a result of sun exposure hair may become dry, brittle, fragile and discolored. Sun exposure can tear protein bonds in your hair and make your hair permanently weaker. So, if you are going to be spending a lot of time in the sun, remember to wear a hat.
If want especially dramatic eyes, try a liquid eyeliner. You can have fun and experiment with this tool. When looking for a brush, choose one that is small with angled bristles so you can make a clean line.
If you’re concerned that your freshly painted nails will smear, you can protect them with a thin film of some type of oil. Either put a drop of olive oil on your palm and rub it over the nails, or even easier, use a can of olive oil cooking spray and give each finger just the quickest touch of cooking spray. The oil will form a protective barrier that will keep the polish from smearing.
For the most natural look when shaping your brows, avoid plucking hairs above your brows, instead removing stray hairs below your brows. Plucking hairs above your brows makes it too easy to remove too much hair, resulting in sparse brows or an unnatural “surprised” look. Step back from the mirror and check your brows as you pluck, to ensure you aren’t removing too much hair.
If you are trying to reduce the puffiness around your eyes try holding a cold spoon on the puffy areas. The cold can cause the puffiness to go away making your face look more beautiful.
