BEAUTY TIP OF THE DAY!

Outsmart your mascara! Love the waterproof kind but hate wrestling to remove it? Apply a coat of regular mascara first then top it with the waterproof mascara. That way, the waterproof mascara locks on to the other formula instead of your lashes and comes off more easily...when you want it to!

Beauty Tip Of The Day

Beauty Tip of the Day: To cover the dreaded under eye circles start by applying a good moisturizer, then a yellow corrector cream to cancel out the purple undertone! {I like Physicians Formula Yellow Concealer Wand that you can get at Walmart} Next apply your foundation then your favorite concealer in a triangle like below {Good Ones: Maybelline Conceal/Highlight Wand, Benefit Erase Paste, Laura Mercier Duos}

Last Week's Beauty Tips

 

5/24/10 Beauty Tip: Pick the right shades! LIPS: test a lip color on your fingertip--that way you can hold the color next to your face to see how it looks. (No mirror? your finger is still a good guage because it's closer in color to your lips than the back of your hand) EYES: Choose colors opposite or directly next to your eye color on the color wheel. BLUSH: Make a fist...match your blush to the color your knuckles turn for the most natural look!

 5/25/2010: Beauty tip of the day: For fuller looking lips, after applying your gloss, dab a bit of gold or silver eyeshadow to the center of your top and bottom lip! The shimmer will draw attention to your new jolie-esque pout!

5/26/10:Beauty Tip of the Day: Extend the life of your liner! For a longer lasting, smudge proof liner, apply it first with a pencil {or brush for liquid liner} then trace over it with a matching powder eyeshadow! To make it last even longer, dip your liner brush in visine before dipping it in the eyeshadow! {This makes the shadow glide on smooth and evenly and will lock in the color all day!!

 5/27/2010: Beauty tip of the day: Stretch those pennies! Instead of tossing out your mascara tube when it starts getting dry, hold it under the faucet with hot water. This will re-activate the cream and give your mascara new life!

Beauty Tip Of The Day

For the most even coverage when applying liquid foundation, use a foundation brush like the ones above {the brush on the far left=dip lightly in foundation and buff on in quick circles. the brush on the far right=paint on foundation until ideal coverage is reached}. For Powder foundation use a kabuki style brush {like the one in the middle}. *Money Saving Tip*: Prefer a makeup sponge? Spritz it with water each time before applying f...oundation. This keeps the product from seeping into the sponge and you will waste much less foundation!
