Beauty Smarties Showdown - Beachy Glam Beauty Audience Challenge
When it comes to your beauty philosophy, is it 'appearances are everything' or a more pragmatic 'beauty comes from within', you are sure to enjoy reading over this handpicked selection of useful and simply gorgeous tips and tricks. This information will offer insight into the best ways to improve both inner and outer beauty.
A handy beauty tip is to add a little nail polish remover to your nail polish. This helps to thin the nail polish out and make it last a little longer. It is also a good technique to use when your nail polish is a little older and has started to thicken up a bit.
You do not need to spend a lot of money on a fancy deep conditioning mask. There are many recipes you can make at home that include foods filled with nutrients that are great for your hair. A great one includes mashed strawberries and enough mayonnaise to make a spreadable paste. Leave it in your wet hair for 10 minutes and rinse.
If your hair and face could use a little tender, loving care but you can't spare the money for a spa or salon treatment, look no further than your refrigerator. Apply the whites of an egg to your face for a tightening, brightening mask, then apply the yolk to your hair to leave it glossy and full.
You can make your lipstick last a bit longer by taking an additional step when you are applying it. Simply blot your lipstick between applying the different layers and you will find that the life of your lipstick will be prolonged. You will find that you will not have to reapply quite as often.
Have your eyebrows professionally waxed or trimmed. Eyebrows are often overlooked, but they can shape the face like nothing else. Look through magazines and find eyebrow shapes that you think will suit you, and give them to a professional so they have an idea of what you're looking for. You'll find that your eyebrows look neater and your face looks more striking.
To give your medium-to long-length hair a quick boost of volume in the morning, turn your head upside down, then apply a spray-on product like mousse or serum to add volume. Aim for the roots, then scrunch your hair at the crown and sides. Turn right-side up, then use your fingers to smooth the top layer.
To whiten and brighten your teeth, add a little baking soda to your toothbrush once a week. Just sprinkle a little baking soda in the palm of your hand, dampen your toothbrush and press the bristles into the baking soda, add toothpaste and brush your teeth as usual. Don't do this more than once a week since baking soda can be hard on your tooth enamel if overused.
Darkening very light eyelashes can really open up the eyes and make a noticeable impact on the eye color. Avoid using black mascara, which may appear way too harsh on light lashes and against lighter hair colors. Instead, you can have them tinted professionally or you can use brown pencil to line your eyes.
Visit a department store to buy your makeup. Many department stores have in-house beauty experts who can offer you a free makeover and help you to select products that match your skin type and tone. Once you know which makeup works for your face, you can then purchase your products from any retail outlet.
If you already have skin problems, you need to be especially careful when selecting make up to not worsen the situation. Avoid make ups with any oil in them, and sparingly use moisturizers, foundations, eye makeup, and blushes labeled oil free. Also look for non-comedogenic products, which do not encourage the closure of pores.
Avoid licking your lips. When you constantly lick your lips, rather than become moist, they actually dry out. Try carrying a lip balm or gloss in your pocket or purse, and put it on anytime you feel like doing some licking. You will soon find your lips in beautiful condition.
Do wonders for your appearance; increase the blood flow and circulation to your face making you look less tired! Firmly massage your ears and earlobes from top to bottom using your thumb and forefinger. Massaging in this manner stimulates the flow of blood to your face without damaging tender skin so your complexion will be refreshed and appear much brighter.
If you have problems keeping wild and unruly brows tamed, you can keep them under control by spraying a brow brush with a bit of hairspray or clear brow gel, then gently combing your brows into place. For added shaping, you can even use a very small dab of Vaseline.
Separate products for softening, protecting, and coloring are no longer necessary! Try using a tinted moisturizer instead of a typical foundation. You can save yourself a lot of time and money buying a lightly tinted moisturizer with a sunscreen to replace the heavier old-fashioned foundations and creams.
Make sure that you do not share makeup brushes and applicators with others. Makeup brushes can contain thousands of bacteria, so should be regularly sterilized to prevent skin infections and spots. Additionally, sharing brushes is unhygienic and the brushes can even transmit skin diseases and fungal infections from person to person.
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.
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.
Baking soda is your beauty friend. Baking soda is one of those products that you should always have on hand. For beauty you can use it to make your shampoo work better, whiten your teeth, and cure the pain of sunburn. All of this from one box that hardly costs a dollar.
To boost your hair's shine when you wash it in the sink or shower, give it a final rinse under really cold water, if you can stand it. The cold water helps to seal the hair's cuticle, making your tresses look smoother, shinier, and less frizzy than rinsing with hot water.
Unless you are suffering from severe acne, you should be sure to use a moisturizer that includes emollients, which help your skin to soak up moisture from the environment. Other ingredients, such as humectants, can actually attract moisture to the skin. Dry skin would benefit from a moisturizer with a heavy, creamy consistency.
After waxing any part of your skin, it is important that you do not take a hot bath or shower right away. This can cause irritation because waxing leaves your pores wide open. Try waiting at least an hour before being exposed to any type of hot water at all.
You are very good at applying your makeup and washing it off at the end of the day. Are you as diligent when cleaning your makeup brushes? Chances are, you are not. It is advised to wash your makeup brushes at least once a month using a gentle soap such as baby shampoo. Lather them up gently, rinse, and let them air dry.
Apply colognes and perfumes carefully, just dabbing a bit on at pressure points such as behind the ears, at the bend of the elbows and knees and inside the wrist. Don't reapply more than one time daily as you may become desensitized to the scent and accidentally overdo it.
Beauty can be enhanced both on the inside and the outside, and hopefully this article gave you the information you need in order to pursue the goal of looking and feeling more beautiful. The above tips should have made it easy to feel very beautiful and happy with you.
