It can either be easy to stay on top of beauty techniques, or very difficult. Now you can try some new beauty techniques with confidence with the help of these tips.
Prior to applying an artificial tan, exfoliate your skin. By removing the layer of dead cells on top of your skin, you leave a smoother surface for the tanner to penetrate. Thus, making your tan look even better. Choosing to take this extra step will ensure your fake tan lasts longer but also looks like a genuine tan.
To make your lips look bigger, apply shimmery white eyeshadow just above the cupid’s bow in the center of your top lip. The increase in fullness is an illusion that is created by the highlighted area of the lip reflecting light.
To play up green or hazel eyes and create a candlelit effect, choose eye colors that highlight the gold and green tones in your irises. Try using silvery pewter, deep purples, lavender and light brown for this purpose.
Baking Soda
Plain baking soda can give you shinier hair. Use a little bit of baking soda mixed in with your shampoo before shampooing. Then you would wash your hair as normal. This brings back shine to your hair.
If you need to soften the appearance of a square shaped face, use a coral or rose blush. Try applying your blush on the apples of your cheeks and fanning it out towards temples.
You want to keep your skin moisturized during the winter so that it stays fresh, and selecting one with a warm gold or pink tone will give you a healthy glow. Use a cosmetics sponge to apply the product to your brow bones and the apples of your cheeks to add a glowing, radiant effect. Stop there; any more and you will just look shiny.
Always curl your eyelashes using an eyelash curler prior to the application of mascara. This increases their perceived length and brightens your eyes. Start at the lash base and squeeze the curler, and then hold it just a second. Then, you want to move the curler gently in the direction of the ends of your lashes, where you will squeeze it again. Doing this gives your lashes more of a naturally curvy appearance than an artificial sharp angle.
Do you find your nails get easily chipped and scratched once they are painted? One way to help prevent this from happening is to apply a top coat of clear gloss to your manicure. Clear nail polish is an entirely different product, so be sure you use a top coat for maximum durability. Don’t purchase clear polish – remember to buy top coat.
For a torn or split fingernail, use a teabag if you can’t run to the salon to fix it. Empty all of the leaves from the bag. The next step is to cut out a piece of the teabag that will fit the torn area of your nail. Put this piece on the damaged part, then paint it with clear fingernail polish.
