Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, as well as everyone who looks at her! You want to look your best, enhance your finest features and put your best face forward so read on for some fantastic advice and ideas on you to improve upon your looks in ways you’ve probably never thought of!
Thin out your sticky nail polish with a little nail polish remover. Just a little bit of remover will go a long way. After adding the remover to the bottle you will need to shake the bottle well. This will extend the life of your nail polish.
Give yourself a quick facial at home by filling a bowl with hot water, and then steaming your face over it with a towel draped over your head. This will open your pores and help to eliminate black heads. Follow with a cold water rinse to close the pores and continue your makeup routine.
For smooth, streak-free results, exfoliate your skin before applying self-tanner. Dead, dry skin can cause self-tanner to absorb unevenly. This can result in streaks, splotches and areas of color that are darker than they should be. You can eliminate this problem by exfoliating your skin before you apply self-tanner. By removing dead skin cells, exfoliating can help ensure that yourself tanner absorbs evenly and gives you a beautiful, streak-free glow.
If you suffer from red eyes, all the eyeshadow and liner in the world is not going to help you look better. Carry around a bottle of eye drops with you at all times. Drops come in handy for those situations that lend themselves to red eyes, such as prolonged exposure to sunlight or long periods of staring a computer screen.
Use shimmer lightly and only apply in the areas that will be hit by light. This causes a beautiful glow. With some highlighter, use it on your cheekbones, brows and on your nose; brush with powder afterwards.
Rosewater or cucumbers are great to erase dark circles under your eyes. The natural properties in these items lighten the skin pigments beneath your eyes while cooling them. Take a pad that is made of soft cotton, dip it in the rosewater or cucumber juice and take a fifteen minute rest with the pad on your eyes.
Use Vaseline on the outer edges of your eyes to make a shield. This will act as a waterproof barrier and will keep your makeup on around your eyes. This is especially good to use if you find your eyes are watery because of wind or any other factor.
Using a facial moisturizer is one of the best things you can do to enhance your beauty. Even if you have oily skin, it is still a good idea. Apply it every single night before going to sleep. If you have extra dry skin, it is a good idea to also use moisturizer in the morning as well.
If you wear your hair in a ponytail often, move the position of the ponytail around every so often to prevent hair breakage. Constant stress and friction in the same part of the hair shaft can weaken hair, but placing the elastic or rubber band in different positions prevents the same spots from being rubbed over and over.
Use a loofah to scrub away dead skin. You can get a smoother, younger look from a loofah, since you can exfoliate and buff problem parts of your skin. Using a loofah and a body scrub that exfoliates gives you twice the benefits! To get the most from it, use the loofah twice every week.
You can spend big bucks on special dandruff shampoos containing salicylic acid for your dandruff and/or flaky scalp. But did you know that salicylic acid is, in fact, aspirin? So you can skip the expensive shampoos. Just take a regular uncoated aspirin or two, crush it to a powder, and mix it with your shampoo. Let it sit on your scalp for a minute and you will find it has the same result as more expensive treatments.
If you hate the problems of clumpy and matted eyelashes, try using an eyelash curler. This will make the eyelashes thick and full without using any products. When using the curler, start at the roots and only use on lashes that are clean. Over time your lashes will become fuller, thicker, and beautiful.
Wearing heavy foundation or powdery makeup is not a good look for faces over 40. It accentuates the drier character of the skin. If your face is 40 or older it’s better to use a lighter touch. If your skin is fairly even-colored you may be able to skip foundation entirely. Foundations should be very light in weight.
Consider investing in some Visine. Lack of sleep often results in reddened, bleary eyes. This can make you look older than you are. Just putting in a drop or two of Visine can solve this problem. Visine could also be used to help you fight acne as well. Just dot a little on the affected area and let it dry. Your skin should look better quickly.
