Looking good can be a full-time job, or you can stay beautiful the smart way. There is a variety of ways that you can make yourself look good without investing tons of time or money into the process. This article will help you take advantage of what beauty professionals already know.
When applying makeup before a photo shoot, school pictures or any other photography session, favor matte finishes over shimmery ones and make sure that you apply your makeup under natural light. Shimmery shadows, blushes, lipsticks and powders will look too shiny in a camera flash. Applying your makeup under natural light gives you the best idea of how your makeup will actually look in the photos.
To keep your skin smooth, fresh and flawless, make sure you cleanse regularly. If you wear cosmetics of any kind, you should cleanse your skin nightly. Deep cleaning regularly can draw makeup out of your pores and help you keep your complexion fresh. Also be certain to give your skin a break from foundation occasionally.
To make your eyelashes look thicker, dust them with a coat of loose powder before applying your mascara. Use a small brush to apply a thin layer of translucent powder to your eyelashes, taking care not to get the powder in your eyes. Follow up with a coat of your favorite mascara over the top of the powder.
To make your eyelash curler work even better, give it a blast of hot air from your blow dryer, but let it cool slightly before using it on your lashes. The heat will help to set the curl so your lashes stay defined longer than they would with a cold curler.
If winter weather has your complexion looking dry and dull, brighten your skin with a mixture of your normal foundation or moisturizer with a luminescent liquid or cream highlighter. Opt for a rich, subtle cream with micronized minerals or a pearly or opalescent dose of shimmer. Apply to the brow bones, cheeks, and collarbones.
Red eyes make you look tired and worn out. Carry a bottle of eye drops in your purse and reapply as needed throughout the day. At home, keep a bottle of eye drops in the refrigerator to refresh your eyes when you get home from a day in a dry, air conditioned office.
For shiny, colorful, rich, beautiful hair, it’s important to wash your hair regularly with a good, low-oil shampoo. This is the only way to effectively prevent dandruff and other hair-related ailments. Make sure to also rinse your hair out weekly with apple cider vinegar to wash away chemicals from shampoo.
When using shimmer, make sure to apply it lightly and only in a couple of areas where the light will hit it. This creates a pleasant glow effect. With highlighter, aim for the higher planes of your face, such as your cheekbones, nose and brows and then, set it with a loose layer of powder.
For calming skin inflammation rose and lavender are excellent ways to calm these areas. It can either be a lotion or a cream and can be used on any area of the body. There are a variety of products available in an organic form and many that have not been tested on animals.
Avoid commercial “body butters” that contain chemicals, dyes and additives. All natural walnut oil or peanut oil make wonderful all-over body moisturizers. They are very inexpensive and are scent free. If you want scent, you can add the essential oil of your choice. After your bath, slather walnut or peanut oil on lavishly. Wrap up in an old terry-cloth robe and curl up with a good book or a movie while your moisture treatment soaks in.
Heat your eyelash curler with your blow dryer. Hold your curler in front of your hair dryer for a few seconds. Be sure to check the temperature before using it on your eyelashes because it could burn you. Your eyelashes will curl better with a little heat applied to them.
Always properly wash your make-up off at night before you go to sleep. Use a gentle washcloth and warm water, or a make-up remover solution. Afterward, wash your face with your normal skin care regimen. Make-up that is not properly removed will clog pores and cause unwanted acne problems.
To reduce facial puffiness from the inside out, hold an ice-cube with your tongue to the roof of your mouth and this will relax and relieve that “just dragged yourself out of bed” puffy face! Follow it up with splashes of cold water on the outside and within minutes, without spending a fortune, you have a quick and effective remedy!
