Buying an eyelash curler is worth the investment. It may not seem obvious, but curling your eyelashes is quick to do, and it looks beautiful. Curling your eyelashes brightens your eyes and makes them look bigger. You can get heated eyelash curlers that make curls last longer, too.

24 Hours

Get rid of any hair that’s in the way 24 hours before you apply your fake tan. Whether you wax or shave, you will achieve the best results if you wait for 24 hours after. You will have a tan that is more natural looking and not so uneven.

If you are stepping out for the night, freshen up by using a big brush to powder the greasy areas of your face. Try playing up cheek bones with shimmer powder on cheeks.

Soften the angles of your face with a soft coral or creamy rose blush. Using your fingers, apply the cream blush to the apples of each of your cheeks, then in a gentle, tugging motion, fan the color outward toward your temples.

Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler before you put on mascara. Curling your eyelashes can make them look longer and it can also make your eyes look younger too. Squeeze your lashes at the base and keep the curler there for 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. This should result in a pleasing and natural looking curve.

When using something for shimmer, apply it with a light hand and use it only on parts of your body the light is going to hit. That will lead to an attractive glow. Use a highlighter on your nose, brows, and cheekbones. Cover this with a light layer of powder.

For healthier skin, use a dry, soft brush on skin prior to getting into the shower. This will stimulate the glands that produce oil so your skin won’t dry out. You should brush your whole body in a circle. Once you’ve done this, take a shower using gentle soap.

For fat lashes, choose your mascara wisely. For more volume use a mascara that is waterproof and is formulated to provide length to your lashes. You may need to try several different brands to find the one you like. Unfortunately for the consumer, these products are often heavy on the lashes. They are bad for the skin around your lash line and they may straighten a natural lash curl by weighing lashes down. That is why it is recommended to use a lengthening mascara. These can help your eyelashes curl upward more, which will give the illusion of more volume.

Frizzy Hair

If you have a problem with your hair frizzing, try a boar bristle brush. Certain weather conditions can increase the problem of frizzy hair. Boar bristle brushes are great for frizzy hair if used while you dry wet hair. As you gently brush your hair, make sure the blow dryer is pointed in a downward direction.

When you apply eyeshadow, focus your eyes downward. Avoid pulling or pressing on your eyelids. Get your application right the first time by looking down in the mirror. This will allow you to see your lid clearly without having to touch them.

Always clean your brushes to keep them working the best. Using lukewarm water and some gentle non-comedogenic shampoo, thoroughly clean the bristles of your makeup brushes. Rinse the brush bristles thoroughly and allow them to dry. Doing so will minimize the chance that any makeup buildup or bacteria will collect in the brush and cause acne breakouts.

To keep your mascara intact when you cry, try tilting your head such that the tears fall from the inside corners of the eyes. This will stop tears from messing up your makeup.

You can break your beauty routine into small increments. If you do it in 10 minute segments it will benefit your schedule. Things will get out of hand when you try to complete everything all in one day.
