So many people think of beauty as what they see on TV or magazines. A lot of the time this is not what really is! You should always decide what ‘you’ think is ‘beautiful’. The following tips will help you out a lot with your beauty endeavors.
To plump your lips, use white eyeshadow just on top of the cupid’s bow on your top lip, in the center. A little highlight here makes your upper lip look larger.
If you use colors like copper and golds as your eyeshadow, you can make grays and blues come alive in your eyes. Shades of dark brown and little bits of maroon or purple eyeliner and mascara are useful, so use them as well. This brings out your blue eyes.
Do your nails always get scratched and chipped after you paint them? Apply a top coat. This will keep your nails looking great for up to a week. Be aware that a top coat is not the same thing as clear nail polish. Purchase a quality top coat for this purpose.
Pink Lipstick
Pink lipstick can be used to conceal any imperfections. No, do not put the lipstick on the flaw itself, but a warm pink lipstick goes with every skin tone and draws the eye to your lips. Your blemish will be easily hidden by the concealer and lipstick.
Make honey part of your beauty bag. Honey has many benefits for your skin. Mix honey with sugar if you want to have a mixture that is great for exfoliating. Adding honey to a lotion can also boost moisture. Adding a tiny bit honey in your shampoo can make your hair shiny and softer.
Fruit Juice
Drink fruit juice more often. Your skin will thank you for it. Eating veggies and fruits is very good for your skin and your health. If you find it difficult to consumer enough fruits and vegetables, fruit juice is a good way to sneak a few more in. Have juice in lieu of sugary drinks, and you’ll notice a positive change in your appearance.
Use a loofah to remove imperfections in your skin. This will buff your problem areas and make them smoother. Combine a loofah with a good exfoliating body wash for maximum effect. Use a loofah at least two times each week for the best result.
Avoid using conditioner on a daily basis if your hair is fine. Simply one or two times per week should suffice. Over-conditioning can make your hair look dull and heavy. If your goal is to have light and shiny hair, then limit your conditioner use.
A daily beauty routine should be part of your regular schedule. Incorporate small blocks of time into your weekly schedule and devote them exclusively to your beauty treatments. Trying to do it all at once can quickly overwhelm you.
You shouldn’t feel like you need to compete with all of the women you see in magazines. Don’t compete with others, but instead focus on becoming your most beautiful self. It is a life lesson that will be useful everywhere in your life.
Hair is very delicate. A towel can cause damage to the hair and leave it frizzy and unmanageable. Instead of rubbing, pat and gently squeeze your hair dry, lightly scrunching as you go. It may take longer, but it will give you much better results.
You can relax your mind and body by getting a massage periodically. There is a long list of benefits massage gives you; it promotes lymph drainage and toning, it removes toxins, and it stimulates your circulation. Take the time to regularly enjoy a massage.
Nail Polish
Before retiring for the night, make it easier to remove your nail polish later. Paint your nails with a base coat, a thick coat of color, then a top coat. It’s okay if it ends up not being very neat and gets on your skin. Showering in the morning can eliminate nail polish that got onto your skin. This is a great self manicure and pedicure technique.
If your skin look does not satisfy you, then think about consulting a dermatologist about a chemical peel. A chemical peel can remove any dead skin and encourage new skin cell growth. Following this treatment and recovery, your new skin will look younger and fresher.
Your beauty is influenced by your diet and nutritional choices. Eating properly is the easiest, most efficient way for a person to feel his best and give his body what it needs to function. If you follow a healthy diet and nutrition plan you will not only look better, but you will feel better.
Regardless of whether your hair is straight, curly or otherwise, you may not need to wash it every single day. Daily washing could cause your scalp to produce even more natural oils to counteract the dryness that occurs from over-washing. Not washing frequently enough can make your hair look and feel greasy. You should wash your hair every other day.
Reduce your use of product on your hair if it’s oily. The ingredients in those products promote the build up of oil. You may also want to opt for shampoos that are made for people that have oily hair.
Have your own idea of what beauty means and avoid focusing on what beauty is to others from magazines or television. Beauty is a personal thing. Apply what you’ve just learned to bring the beauty from within to the surface.
