If you want to add a pinch of color to your face midday, consider stocking up on a stick of cream blush or a gel-based cheek blusher. Apply a small amount to the apples of your cheek, then blending in circular motions. This keeps your face looking fresh in a natural and easily applied in a manner that is especially flattering.
A few drops of rich sweet almond oil can be a very useful addition to your skincare routine as well as for use in emergencies. Use it on dry skin to infuse heavy duty moisture, or apply it to your cuticles to make them noticeably softer before a manicure or pedicure.
Beauty is certainly relative. Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder! Maybe you see beauty in the trees along your own street, or in the person you love most. Your heart will be happy if you search for beauty. Those who find beauty in many things tend to be most successful.
Brighten up your eyes with this natural look: apply a light, neutral-colored eye shadow to your entire upper eyelid. Look for sand, khaki, beige, or fawn colors. This will neutralize any redness on your lids, which can make you appear older and tired. Add drama by smudging a darker shade on the lids just in the crease.
Because of all the chemicals in shampoos and conditioners it is actually recommended to not shampoo and condition every day, especially multiple times daily. To maintain hair condition and not damage it, most beauticians recommend shampooing and conditioning every other day at maximum. This prevents you from damaging your hair with all the chemicals in it.
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. Follow with a cold water rinse to close the pores and continue your makeup routine.
Be sure to exercise moderately every day. Moving daily will keep you healthy and looking young. It is a vital part of any beauty regimen. You should be physically active for around twenty minutes each day. Exercise could include anything from cleaning your home, or just a walk around the block; anything to keep you active.
Make sure that your blush and your lip color are in harmony. If you are using blush, it is important to make sure that it matches the color you are using for your lips. Pink should be with pink, red with red, etc. If the colors vary too greatly from one another, they will clash terribly.
You may not have the time to do a full makeup job on your eyes. Should this be the case, try a quick smudgy eye look by combining a small amount of lip balm and a small amount of either mascara or eyeliner on the tip of your finger. Rub to an even consistency, then rub across your eyelids as close to the lashes as you can. A smudgy look is what you’re going for. Add two coats of mascara, and you’re ready to go.
If you have found a shampoo and conditioner that work well for you, then you should stick with them even if the brands may be different. It is best to choose those that have the same style intentions, however, such as getting both products for curl enhancers, color enhancers, etc., as the ingredients will be similar.
Putting on your own nail polish can be very frustrating, especially when using your non-dominant hand. Next time, apply your normal two color coats and a topcoat in the evening (give the polish a few hours to dry before bedtime). Don’t worry too much if the polish gets on your cuticles. Then, in the morning, take a hot shower, and all the extra polish on your cuticles and skin will rub right off.
Your beauty routine should fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. If you break apart those days you need to care for yourself, you really only need little 10 minute breaks. By attempting to fit everything together in one day, you are going to get over your head, which will likely cause you to quit.
If you are running out of your favorite color of polish, add a little remover to it. Shake the bottle vigorously, then paint on nails as you would normally. The color might be a little lighter, but not enough to see a major difference.
To make your smile look whiter, avoid orangey or yellowish lipstick shades, which can accentuate stains and other discolorations. Stick to cool pinks, blue-reds, and plummy shades, all of which help to make your teeth look whiter, since they are cooler colors. Remember that really bright shades, no matter the tone, will draw attention to your mouth–and your teeth.
Dab a bit of Vaseline, coconut oil or olive oil on a tooth brush for great lip exfoliation. Brush your lips very lightly and for no more than about 30 seconds. If you do this each day, your lips will look and feel a lot better. Your lipstick will go on more evenly and your lips will be much softer than they were. You’ll love the results.
