When you take time to apply proper beauty techniques and products, it really does show. It shows that you care about proper application and that you want to look your “your best.” That is very admirable. As with any other skill set, you can always add and improve. Below are some tips to help.
Fill an empty lip gloss pot or a miniscule sample jar with your preferred moisturizer. Keep one in your glove box, purse or desk drawer. Just put some moisturizer all over your face when you think your skin looks or feels dry.
A great tip when it comes to beauty is to not overdue the makeup. Often times novices have a tendency to put on too much make up and as such make themselves look worse. Use makeup sparingly, and you’ll find you will be turning guys heads everywhere you go.
You can easily exfoliate your face lightly during your daily bath or shower by using a soft, nubby terrycloth or wash rag. This is especially effective if the water is warm, not hot, and only if you are using the cloth for the first time. Never use the same cloth two days in a row as bacteria may build up overnight.
Want pouty, sensual lips? Put a little dab of white eyeshadow right below the divot between your nose and upper lip. A little highlight here makes your upper lip look larger.
Using a “hot spray” before taking a blow dryer to your hair is a smart idea. This can be found in any beauty section of a generic store like Target or Wal-Mart, and is very useful for preventing split ends and helping hair to dry more quickly. It prevents moisture from escaping and smells great to boot!
If you have very narrow eyes, you can create the illusion that they are more widely opened by first using an eyelash curler to curl your top lashes. Apply a dark brown mascara to the middle lashes, then tilt the wand diagonally and apply the mascara to the outer lashes.
Drinking plenty of water will help keep your skin healthy. When you skin is dehydrated, the stress will make it look wrinkled, dry and dull. Fight this by drinking 8-10 glasses of clean water every day. You might add some lemon, lime or cranberry juice to your water if it will be more appealing to you that way. This will dramatically improve your skin.

Most women would be surprised to know that the average female devotes more than 60 hours of her life to the ordeal of shaving and waxing. Laser hair removal, while somewhat costly, will save you a great deal of time and nicks on your legs, underarm, face, and bikini area.
To give your hair more volume, consider trying a new haircut with layers. Layers are one of the most effective ways to add volume to fine limp hair. Even if you like to wear your hair long, you can still have your stylist cut long layers into the top for a major volume boost.
Tone down a lipstick that is too bold or bright. A great way to make an overly pigmented shade easier on the eyes is to put some on the back of your hand, dab it with foundation, mix, and apply to lips. Your new shade should now be a better match for your tone.
Remember that excess sun exposure is not only bad for your skin, it is also bad for your hair. As a result of sun exposure hair may become dry, brittle, fragile and discolored. Sun exposure can tear protein bonds in your hair and make your hair permanently weaker. So, if you are going to be spending a lot of time in the sun, remember to wear a hat.
You can avoid having ingrown hairs; use lotion every day. Immediately after shaving, use lotion on your skin to prevent ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs can be caused by dried out skin, so by applying the lotion on a daily basis, the ingrown hairs can be avoided. This can both remedy existing in-growths, and prevent further problems.
There is a simple piece of advice which, if not followed, will adversely affect how people look. Always shape or pluck your eyebrows to avoid uni-brow. If your eyebrows join together or are just very thick, then use clippers to tame them.
