Squires #5 - Brown Beauty
Beauty can be a lot of fun and there are so many ways one can either improve upon their appearance or change their look entirely. So whether you need more techniques to make yourself appear more like what you want to look like or if you're looking for something new, take a look at the tips below.
For shiny, colorful, rich, beautiful hair, it's important to wash your hair regularly with a good, low-oil shampoo. This is the only way to effectively prevent dandruff and other hair-related ailments. Make sure to also rinse your hair out weekly with apple cider vinegar to wash away chemicals from shampoo.
You've heard it's important to exfoliate, but you don't need to spend a lot of money on expensive loofah bath mitts or scrubs. Any drugstore, grocery store, or dollar store sells inexpensive kitchen sponge/scrubbers (where the rough side is green and the sponge side is yellow). These sponges work great for body exfoliation - but please don't use the green side on your face.
Since unwanted facial hair can be embarrassing, remove it. You can easily do this yourself by using wax or tweezers. Or, you can have it done at a salon by a professional. Either way is an easy solution to help you feel better about your appearance.
Eat a balanced, healthy diet. What you put into your body will ultimately reveal itself on the outside, so it's important to feed your body a diet that is low in carbohydrates, fats and sugars so that your complexion stays clear and bright. Splurging is OK, but make sure that your diet stays healthy enough to look your best.
For those days when you have skimped on sleep the previous night and it shows in your eyes, skip lining or applying mascara to your lower lash line. Put the focus on your lids and upper lashes, and you are less likely to accentuate dark circles, making you look even more tired.
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.
If you feel as though you are having one off day you shouldn't fret. There are some aspects that are out of your control which will affect your daily appearance. One of the biggest variables is the weather and a humid day can wreck havoc on someone, especially a woman who has larger hair.
To get even more mileage out of your favorite eye gel, keep it in the refrigerator! The ingredients in eye gel work hard to restore and protect the delicate skin around your eyes and keeping it cold enhances the refreshment factor ten fold! The cold will also work immediately to reduce that dreadful puffiness!
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.
Exfoliate your face and neck at least 2 times a week. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and bring new skin cells to the surface. This will make you look healthy and refreshed when you do this, but you should avoid doing it too much because it can irritate your face.
Use a cleansing shampoo at least once a week. Your hair gets all sorts of buildup on it and the normal shampoo does help, but nothing really cleanses it better then a cleansing shampoo. After you do this, you will notice that your hair just feels softer and lighter. It also looks better too.
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. An eyelash curler also helps keep eyelashes from flipping into your eyes, avoiding embarrassing and irritating mishaps as well!
Keep your eyebrows looking natural. Pluck stray brows, and fill in with a pencil that is one shade lighter than your natural color. Using the same shade tends to make your eyebrows look harsh; whereas, the lighter shade has a softer effect. Keep brows full because it looks more natural and flattering.
Give yourself a mini facial using a mask made from an egg white and a dash of lemon juice. Leave the mask on for about two minutes, and then rinse. This gives your skin an instant tightening effect and is ideal to do about an hour before an evening out on the town.
Finding a new hair style that is different from what one usually does with their hair can not only give one a fresh look but enhance their beauty. A new hair style can attract attention from people who notice the difference and also frame ones face in a new way that may enhance beauty.
If you do not have a lot of time to spend on make up, you can still hide blemishes and dark spots. A concealer stick is a great way to cover up any spots or dark circles under your eyes. Put on powder over the concealer and you will look great by only spending a couple minutes of time.
Wash your face before going to sleep. This will remove all the impurities and dirt from the day. Use a makeup remover first, to remove your makeup, then use a face wash. If you don't cleanse your face before bed, your pores can get clogged and cause pimples or spots.
One easy way to enhance your beauty is to make use of false eyelashes. Not only do the lashes open up your eyes, they can provide a more flirtatious and sensual vibe when you are out and about. Remember to use lashes that are natural looking and apply them with glue that dries clear.
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.
If you have discovered little white bumps under your eyes, know that these are called Milia and are quite common. They are a harmless form of a cyst caused by dry, dead cells being trapped under the skin. You can try exfoliation or use a moisturizer that includes an exfoliant with vitamin A to help them disappear, and prevent them in the future.
Red eyes make you look tired and worn out. Carry a bottle of eye drops in your purse and reapply as needed throughout the day. At home, keep a bottle of eye drops in the refrigerator to refresh your eyes when you get home from a day in a dry, air conditioned office.
Never ever apply a tanning lotion when you are in a hurry as this will always lead to disaster! This is one beauty item you really need to take your time with otherwise you end up looking freaky, so smooth the tanning lotion well over elbows, knees and feet and wash your hands thoroughly to avoid streaking. Use your tanning lotion well in advance of sleeping to prevent a complete botch job and well in advance of any special occasion, just in case!
One cheap and easy trick for preventing fine lines and wrinkles from forming around your eyes is to apply a generous amount of Vaseline or petroleum jelly around the eye area. If you have long hair, be sure to pull it back with a ponytail holder or headband to prevent it from getting caught in the jelly.
Beauty can be a very effective tool to have in your arsenal for whatever needs you may have. You may already have a defined look and want to know how to save time or you may want to learn something new for a fresh look. No matter your reasons, hopefully the tips above gave you some ideas.
