Planning to make yourself appear more attractive to yourself or other people, is a very important reason to start learning what it takes to have an effective beauty regimen. This means learning all you can about being beautiful. You can start by trying out these tricks.
Don’t go overboard with shimmer; apply it sparingly and lightly. This will create a nice glowing effect. If you are using a highlighter, apply it to the upper areas of your face, including brows, nose, and cheekbones. Then, set it using loose powder.
If you continually get acne only on one side of your face, it could be caused by your cell phone. Make sure you clean your cell phone regularly to remove dirt and oil. You may also want to try switching sides each time you talk on the phone to give the acne-prone side of your face a break.
To make red lipstick last longer, apply powder and lip liner to your lips before applying the lipstick. First, powder your lips with your usual face powder. Next, draw a line around your lips and fill them in with a red lip liner. Finally, apply the red lipstick on top of the powder and liner, blotting with a tissue to remove any excess lipstick.
When applying mascara, wiggle the brush. Many people do not give a second thought to putting on their mascara. They might also find that their lashes are clumpy and find that they are sticking together. To avoid this, start at the bottom of your lashes with the applicator. Wiggle it all the way to the end of your lashes to keep them separated.
If you want to tame your frizzy hair, try a brush which has bristles made from boar hair. Frizzy hair is a pretty common problem. When drying your hair, use your boar bristle brush to tame it down. This will help to avoid frizzy hair. As you gently brush your hair, make sure the blow dryer is pointed in a downward direction.
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.
Bump up your hair color. If you have dyed your hair and the results aren’t as dramatic as you like you can fix this by adding a box of hair coloring to your shampoo. Lather it into your hair and let it set for 5 minutes, then rinse it out.
Paint your toenails before you go to bed. Make sure you have given your nail polish plenty of time to dry before going to bed. When you shower in the morning you can easily peel off any excess polish that you get on your toes for that perfect manicured look.
If you’ve got a splitting nail and can’t get to the salon quick enough, grab a tea bag and bottle of clear nail polish! The strong fibers of a tea bag will act as a remedial mend until you can see a professional. Simply cut a small portion of the tea bag, place it directly on the torn part of the nail and top it off with a coat or two of clear nail polish and you are good to go!
If you have grey hair dyed dark, and your roots are beginning to show, try putting the same color mascara as your dyed hair. If your hair is dyed a lighter color such as blond, spray some hairspray on the roots and use a bit of bronze or gold-colored eyeshadow. Or, you can try one of the root color-combs available at local beauty supply stores.
You can pour a little nail polish remover in your favorite nail polish to make it last a bit longer. Then shake it well and apply like normal to your nails. Although the color may lighten slightly, it will essentially be the same color.
If you have discovered that the hair around you face is drying out and breaking off, you could be using hot irons or other heating tools too much. You could try an intense conditioner or create your own by adding two teaspoons of olive oil to the conditioner, and let it sit on the hairline for five minutes, and then rinse. Repeat this once a week.
If you have an important meeting, take special care with your perfume. Keep the scent light and airy so as not to overwhelm. You should put a small amount behind your ears and on your wrists. This will assure that you smell great when you are hugging and shaking hands at the meeting.
Used coffee grounds are a great way to exfoliate for your hands. Once cooled, put the coffee grounds in a plastic bag, and keep them in the refrigerator. Rub about a teaspoon of grounds a couple of times a week, then rinse, and apply hand cream as usual. Coffee grounds work in much the same way as when you exfoliate with sand-based products, and your hands will feel silky smooth.
Use the ignition part of a matchbook or box if you don’t have a nail file. If you find yourself in need of a nail file, but can’t seem to find one, you can use the rough part you use to light matches on a match book as a nail file.
Since you know how to properly maintain your looks, you should feel a little better about it. You can now apply your newly acquired knowledge either to making yourself feel more confident in your own body or to making other people take notice of you.
