Some simple beauty tips that actually work!
Filed Under:So here are some really easy-to-do beauty tips that have really helped me:
1. Get your perfume to last longer:
Before you put on perfume, make sure you put on non-scented to light-scented lotion on your body. Then spray the perfume on your chest/neck, on the back of your neck, and then your wrists and rub them together. The moisture from the lotion will help lock in the perfume smell. When you have dry skin, your skin absorbs the perfume and causes the smell to disappear. The more you moisturize, the more your skin will keep in the scent. You can also spray it on your hair because it stays longer on your hair.
2. Moisturize your eyelashes:
I do this every once in a while. I put a tiny itty bitty dab of baby oil or thin lotion on my eyelashes before I sleep or after I wash my face. Once it sets in, apply your mascara. This helps it from sticking together and it also moisturizes your lashes and protects them from harsh mascara chemicals. (especially waterproof mascara)
3. Choose wisely with your concealer shade:
I can’t stress this enough. Really choose a lighter shade than your skin. It makes an amazing difference. I made a mistake and chose one like my skin color or a tad bit darker and it looks horrible sometimes. When you sweat off your foundation or powder, you start to see a huge difference between your powder and where you put the concealer. Having a light concealer also highlights your eyes and gives you an amazing flawless look. Even if its 2 shades lighter, it’s still better than 1 shade darker.
4. Line on the water line…in moderation:
I learned this from my optometrist. I know it’s hard for all you girly gals out there to accept this but, constantly putting eyeliner on your actual water line is not too good for your eyes. The water line on your eyes actually provides special oils to moisturize your eyes. You can put eyeliner on it once a while when you go out but don’t overdo it and have it everyday. It can cause a lot of eye problems in the long run. My eyes actually dried out once and became irritated because of it. Not having it on all the time will let your eyes breathe naturally.
5. Get rid of oily/dry hair:
It’s really simple. If you have oily hair, shampoo twice and try not to use conditioner as often. If you have dry hair, do the opposite: shampoo once and condition twice in the shower. I have dry hair and this really works for me. For long-haired gals, if you have oily hair towards your scalp but dry hair towards the bottom half of your hair, put shampoo mainly in the top area and then when you condition, you of course should put it towards the bottom half and not so much towards your scalp. Amazingly easy and it works!
6. Exfoliate once a month:
Especially for people who don’t completely wash off their makeup every night, this is such a must! I like to use St. Ives but for some people, it’s too harsh. So really try to find something that works for you. Aveeno has these facial makeup remover pads that are awesome for sensitive skin. You will be surprised how amazing your skin will feel and how different you skin will look once you do this. It’s like giving yourself a mini facial! But for a better price!
7. Get bigger, poutier lips without the botox:
I actually heard this from Tyra Banks but after you brush your teeth, run the toothbrush over your lips with toothpaste and lightly brush it for a few seconds. After you rinse, you will notice poutier lips. This actually works!!!
8. Don’t get bored with your looks, switch it up:
I’m apart of a makeup community and I always promote this idea. Makeup can seem like work after a while. But that’s when you have to make little changes to your routine and not be afraid to try different looks. Trust me, once I found a look I liked, I would stick to it but then it would look a little drab. Once I changed it up, I found joy in makeup again! Sometimes I would put very natural, sheer eyeshadow and then put a hot pink/bubblegum pink lip gloss and tons of mascara. This gives you a barbie look definitely!
Then I would try putting dark eyeshadow and liner and really emphasizing midnight eyes. And I would put either clear lipgloss or chapstick or a very pale nude/pink color. This is a nice look for when you’re going out with the girls or going on a date!
Try these out and let me know if they work. They did for me!
