Look Great, Feel Great: Perfect Beauty Tips


Beauty Pressure

Do you feel insecure about your appearance? Do you wish you could change the way you look? No matter what you look like, there are plenty of things you can do to make yourself more beautiful. This article will provide you with some beauty tips that can make anyone look and feel better.

Never ever go to bed with your makeup on your face. This causes more damage than just ruining a good pillow case. Your pores will get extremely clogged and you will suffer many blemishes. Taking the time to wash your face each night will surely benefit you for many years.

TIP! 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.

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.

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.

Keep a bottle of eye-drops handy at all times, especially if your work requires lots of computer use. Eye-drop use prevents strain and keeps your eyes from getting irritated. This is not just a way to reduce eye-strain, though; applying drops throughout the day will keep your eyes sparkling and make them as attractive as possible.

TIP! 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.

To highlight your eyes and make them look larger and more awake, use a shimmery, pale shade of vanilla or light gold just under your brow bone. You can sweep it down to cover your entire lid for a natural look, or sweep it on after applying your other eye colors to frame your eyes.

Believe it or not, as you age, your skin tone will change along with your hair color. If you continue to wear foundation, be sure to check it against your actual skin color to be sure that it's still a true match. Your skin will change in the same way that your hair changes - the melanin levels adjust - and in this way, you'll assure a true match as your skin matures.

If you have very narrow eyes, you can create the illusion that they are more widely opened by first using an eyelash curler to curl your top lashes. Apply a dark brown mascara to the middle lashes, then tilt the wand diagonally and apply the mascara to the outer lashes.

TIP! It is important that you buy a special make-up remover if you use waterproof make-up. Seeing that it is waterproof, it is harder to remove than regular make-up and requires more than just water.

Keep petroleum jelly on hand for a variety of beauty tricks. Use it for removing eye make-up, it is gentle and effective. Use it as an intensive dry skin treatment. Use petroleum jelly in place of lip gloss for healthy soft lips. It is widely available and cost effective.

The eyeshadow you use should depend on your eye color. By picking the wrong color, your eyes will not stand out. For example, those with blue and green eyes should pick shades that are warm in color such as light purples, brown, and gray. Women with brown eyes should wear darker shades, like dark greens and blues.

Renew nail polish with nail polish remover. If your favorite bottle of nail polish is getting a little thick, pour a few drops of nail polish remover into the bottle and shake. It will loosen the polish and thin it out, allowing you to get a few more coats out of it.

TIP! 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.

Pat moisturizer into your skin instead of rubbing it. Most people rub their moisturizer into their skin. This can actually disperse the moisturizer to different parts of your skin or even remove most of it entirely. Try patting it over your skin instead. Your skin will absorb it more evenly.

Getting enough rest is essential for your beauty. Not only will you look and feel more rested, you will require less concealer oriented products to mask your under eye circles, prevent yourself from the early onset of wrinkles and shave time off of your morning routine which will get your day off to a better start.

When looking at beauty products, you should always be sure to check out as many reviews as possible. Sometimes it is not worth it to spend a lot for a product when you can purchase the same type of product for much less. Other times it is essential that you spend the extra money to get the right product.

TIP! Crush up an aspirin and put it in your shampoo to get rid of dandruff. This will save you money on buying pricey shampoos made for dandruff.

To extend the life of your lip gloss, apply a lip liner first. Be sure to match your lip shade with the lip liner. By taking this step first you're gloss will be sure to stay on much longer.

Always ask for samples of skin care products and makeup when visiting your favorite beauty supplier. Most major department stores have baskets full of samples that they do not put out because too many would take advantage. Customer service personnel are always happy to give samples to those who ask and the samples allow you to try before investing in the latest product.

By taking 10 minutes a week to care for your nails it will help your appearance greatly. This is especially true for men, who very often neglect their nails and cuticles. A little regular maintenance results in much-improved hands. At the very least, nails should be cleaned thoroughly; they should be moisturized; and the cuticles should be gently pushed back.

TIP! To make your eyelashes look thicker, dust them with a coat of loose powder before applying your mascara. Use a small brush to apply a thin layer of translucent powder to your eyelashes, taking care not to get the powder in your eyes.

Extend the life and appearance of your acrylic overlays in between visits to the salon by protecting them from harsh chemicals. This includes household cleaners like bleaches, soaps, and laundry detergents. If you plan to come into contact with these substances, wear rubber gloves to prevent the chemicals from causing cracks or lifting of your overlays.

Use a gel or creme blush instead of powder. This type of blush gives your skin a glowing and healthy look. Gel and creme blushes are more transparent and blend more evenly than regular powder blush. You should rub this blush on your cheeks and blend upwards for a flawless finish.

Keep a tube of red lipstick around. Red lipstick looks great on a wide range of skin tones and face types. It can really accent your face, and draw attention to your lips. Beware if you have a sore, or a reason you do not want people to look.

TIP! If you have a problem with clumping mascara, try using an eyelash brush and an eyelash curler. This combination makes even the cheapest mascara look professionally applied by smoothing mascara evenly along eyelashes.

Always make sure you blend your foundation appropriately. This can be hard to do if you usually apply makeup with a sponge. After you use a sponge to apply your makeup, use clean fingertips to go over your face. This will make sure your foundation is blended evenly.

Are you looking for a simple soft look? First apply a light liquid foundation. This will give you a natural feel. If you need to even out your skin you can also apply concealer. Next, apply a soft creamy brown eyeshadow and a coat of light mascara. Last, add peach tinted lip gloss. This will give you the simple fresh look you are looking for.

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.

TIP! You can easily exfoliate your face lightly during your daily bath or shower by using a soft, nubby terrycloth or wash rag. This is especially effective if the water is warm, not hot, and only if you are using the cloth for the first time.

To tease your hair, use a firm bristled toothbrush. Digging in at the roots will give the effect of lightly teased hair. Use a baby toothbrush, and spray lightly with hairspray. Running the soft toothbrush by them easily tames the wispy pieces found at the hairline. These are great tips to use instead of backcombing your hair.
