When you take time to apply proper beauty techniques and products, it really does show. It shows that you care about proper application and that you want to look your “your best.” That is very admirable. As with any other skill set, you can always add and improve. Below are some tips to help.
If you have a hard time getting your eyeliner to stay put, you can apply eyeshadow after you put on eyeliner. You should lightly put your shadow over your eyeliner with a cotton ball. This will seal the application of eyeliner and it will last longer and not run.
Use eye makeup colors that will help to make your blue eye color pop. Try copper, bronze, rust or peach eye shadow. Go for eyeliners and mascara that are dark such as brown or purple. These shades help your blue eyes stand out.
If you don’t like the look of your hair curled with a curling iron, try curling it with a straightener. Simply wrap your hair around the straightener and pull it through to the ends. This produces a much more natural looking curl, although it can take a little longer to do.
Pick a foundation that is dermatologist approved and matches your natural skin tone well. Some foundations can clog your pores quite easily if you have sensitive skin, so find one that is oil-free as well. This will help keep your pores clear and help make your face look great and oil-free all day.
Create the illusion of less deep-set eyes by using lightly colored eyeshadow to the entire eyelid. The light colors will appear to come forward, whereas a darker liner or shadow would have the reverse affect, making the eyes appear to recede further into the face. The color you apply should be light and very subtle.
Is your nailpolish chipping off too frequently? Apply a top coat. This will keep your nails looking great for up to a week. This isn’t the same thing as a clear coat of nail polish. Purchase a quality top coat for this purpose.
Replace expensive, designer products with a gentle washcloth, a mild toner, castile soap, white vinegar or witch hazel, and some natural Aloe Vera gel for your moisturizer. This is really all you need. If your skin requires additional moisture above what you can get from aloe, add a bit of vitamin E. Tea tree oil can be used to create a medicated moisturizer.
It’s time for another edition of “Random Beauty Tips!” Make lashes appear more voluminous by applying a lengthening mascara in a waterproof formulation. There are many types of mascara that claim they will give more volume to your lashes. Many of these volume boosting formulas can be heavy. A heavy mascara could damage your lashes. Try different products until you find one that gives you the desired effect. This will give you a more voluminous look and make your lashes curl upward.
Having beautiful eyelashes will actually enhance your face in a big way. Try using a curler on your lashes before you apply any mascara. Doing this can give you dynamic eyes that stand out.
Using concealer is only half the battle when looking your best and fixing flaws. To have a perfect complexion, try using a lipstick in a warm pink. According to leading makeup artists, no matter what your skin type or tone, warm pink will distract people’s eyes from any imperfections and blemishes and keep you looking your best.
When painting your nails, always use a good base coat. Not only does a base coat allow polish to better adhere to your nails, but it prevents your nails from becoming discolored, which is common when using darker colors. For maximum staying power, look for adhesive base coats, which dry to a somewhat tacky finish.
You can save a lot of money by trimming your own bangs at home. First, make sure you have the proper scissors. Spend the money for a small pair of good haircutting scissors. Trim your bangs dry. How to trim them will depend on your hair type, but most people do best by dividing the bangs into three sections, holding the hair up in a twist, and taking small diagonal snips so that the cuts aren’t straight. Drop the twist, see how you look, and repeat until it’s short enough for your liking.
There is a very fine yet very important line between vanity and taking care of yourself. It is important that you stay on the correct side of this line. Beauty should be a small part of your daily routine and if it is becoming an obsession then you should try to rethink your priorities.
