The art of beauty is so much more than just simply “putting your face on.” It takes a great deal of skill, attention to detail, and accuracy to really make those products work for your body the way they should. The tips below can help you improve your beauty skills.
Put funds into an eyelash curler. It may not seem obvious, but curling your eyelashes is quick to do, and it looks beautiful. Using an eyelash curler will help make your eyes appear bigger and more expressive. You can also use heated eyelash curlers, which can increase the amount of time the curl lasts.
Eyeliner can add impact in a way that few products can. Steady your elbow on the table to avoid making mistakes, then use an eye pencil with a dull point to draw on a series of small dashes across the upper lash line. Use a smudging tool or sponge to blend the dashes to create a single line.
You can use eye color to play up the highlights in your eyes, making them appear almost candlelit. Try shades of dark purple, steely grey, golden brown and pale lavender for the best effect.
If you are struggling with frizzy hair you can try putting a small amount of hand cream in your hands then running it through your hair. This will help the stray strands stick together and ultimately hold your hair together more as a cohesive whole making you look much more beautiful.
If you have a wide face, you can make it appear less wide by applying a rosy, creamy blush only on the apples of both your cheeks. However, you should be careful to not apply it too close to your nose or extend the color out past your ears as this will make your face appear even wider.
Using a rose or coral colored blush can help to soften your look, especially if you have a sharper square shaped face. Place the blush on your cheek bones and then, using your fingers, spread it in an outward motion towards your temples.
Tired of dealing with lots of frizzies and fly aways? Rub lotion into your hands and then very gently run over the frizzy part of your hair. This helps those annoying strands to lay flat with the rest of your hair and become non-existent for the duration of the day.
There are two ways to disguise blemishes and flaws on your face. First, gently apply concealer to the problem areas with a small cosmetics brush. The second method of disguising imperfections is distraction. Try wearing a warm, pink lipstick. This will draw peoples’ eyes away from any flaws you wish to conceal.
Do away with red eyes to let your pretty peepers shine. Always carry eye drops with you. You can apply them for a quick re-wetting and refresh when your eyes get tired and red from spending too much time out in the sun or staring the computer.
Apply cream to your eyes every night. The skin around your eyes is delicate, and not as thick as the skin elsewhere on your face. This makes the skin around your eyes more prone to be lined and dry. Keeping the skin moist is a simple solution to that beauty problem.
Add plenty of fruits and vegetables to your diet to make your skin more beautiful. Eating more fruits and vegetables have benefits to every aspect of your health, not just to your skin. Raw food can not just make your skin beautiful and youthful, it can extend your life by years.
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.
Put some honey in your makeup bag. Honey has various skin benefits, and only some of those are from eating it. Add it to your routine and mix it with some sugar to exfoliate your skin. A little honey in your lotion will help you retain moisture. Putting honey in your shampoo will leave your hair shiny and soft.
Consider applying cucumbers or rosewater in order to get remove dark circles around your eyes. These have natural properties that lighten the skin and cool your eye area. You can also apply rosewater or cucumber juice to your eyes to relieve dark circles; simply wet cotton pads with the liquid and then put them over your eyes.
The simplest and absolute cheapest way to reduce morning eye puffiness is using wet cotton balls thatbyou have put in the refrigerator! Simply soak the cotton balls under a running faucet, or use bottled water if your tap contains a lot of chlorine, pop them in a plastic bag and store them in the fridge. Come morning when your eyes are half closed and puffy, those cold cotton balls will work instant magic!
If you find that the nail polish that you thought was the perfect color is not the color that you wanted when you get it on your nails, consider adding a bit of nail polish remover to the bottle. It will change the color a bit and make it a little lighter.
The art of beauty is one that can be enjoyed by everyone, but only those very serious into it will try to perfect their perfect beauty techniques every chance that they get. Now with more beauty knowledge to add to your “bag of tricks,” you can easily become great at it too.
