Many people mistake what they see in the media as true beauty. This is not smart because the media presents illusions rather than truth. You have to define beauty yourself. The following article will provide you with helpful beauty advice.
You should get rid of bodily hair a day before you put on any self tanner. Just as you should shave 24 hours before your fake tan application, you should wait 24 hours to shave again. Doing so will help the quality of your tan.
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. Colors of choice for this are purple, light browns, and shimmery lavenders or silver.
If your facial type is square, soften your look by applying creamy rose colored or coral colored blush. Apply the blush with your fingers on the apples of the cheeks, then, using gentle, tugging motions, spread the color outward and upward towards your temples.
Spray damp hair with “hot spray” prior to blow drying. This is sold in the beauty section of any big box store and many drug stores, and helps to prevent split ends. It also helps your hair dry more quickly. The spray locks in your hair’s natural moisture, and you’ll love its pleasant fragrance.
Red eyes can ruin the effect of even the most striking of makeup. Keep your purse stocked with eye drops. You can pull the bottle out to freshen up your eyes if you spend too much time in the ocean, or after logging a long afternoon at work, staring at a computer monitor.
Clear Nail Polish
Is your nailpolish chipping off too frequently? A good top coat can help the life of your manicure. Do not mix this up with your usual clear nail polish. Although you may not think there’s much of a difference between the two, there is. Get the top coat, not the clear nail polish.
If your hair frizzes a lot, try using a natural bristle brush made with boar hair. Many people have frizz issues. Boar bristle brushes are great for frizzy hair if used while you dry wet hair. Brush the affected hair gently while pointing the dryer downward as you dry.
The accumulated foundation under the cap of your bottle makes a great concealer. When you don’t have any concealer on hand, use the dried-out foundation under the lid. This works perfectly in a pinch.
Make sure that the glue used for those false eyelashes you’re about to apply is safe for you to use. To make sure allergies will not be a problem, put some of the eyelash glue on your arm. Apply a bandage and wait a day to see what happens. If you do not have a rash, you will not have any issues.
Regularly wash all your cosmetic brushes and tools to prevent breakouts and keep colors as brilliant as they were the day you bought the items. Fill your sink with baby shampoo and warm water, and work soap between bristles to make sure they are clean. Rinse your brushes thoroughly, and allow them time to air dry while laying on a towel. This stops makeup from building up between the brush bristles and gets rid of acne-causing germs.
If you get over-glow from club dancing, try using cheap toilet paper to get rid of it. That rough toilet paper makes a great oil blotter at these moments. Take off a piece and press it on where the shine is.
A loofah is a great product for you to use if you want to exfoliate. Loofahs exfoliate and freshen up your skin as they buff away blemishes, leaving you smooth and glowing. Combine this with some exfoliating body wash for excellent results. Use a loofah two times weekly for good results.
There is one beauty tip that has a huge effect for both men and women. A uni-brow is never attractive, so practice good brow hygiene. If your brows are bushy or you have a “uni-brow,” the simple act of trimming or waxing them can make you look much better.
Set your own beauty standards. Don’t look to movies and TV to tell you what is beautiful. You need to know what beauty means to you. Apply what you have learned here to focus on your own beauty, not a fake representation of it.
