On The Cheap Beauty Tips


There are so many pricey leave in conditioners and prevent frizz products out on the market today. People spend a lot of money to create the perfect hair day. I have a tip that will prevent your hair from frizzing in the most humid conditions and it only cost pennies and you probably already have the product on the shelf in your bathroom. It’s regular conditioner and any brand will do. Place a dollop or hefty dollop to the palm of your hand, rub your hands together as if your were applying hand moisturizer and massage throughout your hair as if you were applying gel or mousse. You might want to add a little bit more to the sections of your hair that are more frizzy. Regular conditioner used as a leave-in conditioner smooths out hair and helps prevent the frizzes. It’s wise to apply the conditioner before you use hairspray. Beauty Tips

A Cheap Technique To Long Lasting Lip Color

Purchasing beauty products can become very costly especially when purchasing the name brands. You appreciate what the beauty products claims it can do and does but if it’s not in your budget to spend .00 and up to purchase one beauty product at a time, there are inexpensive beauty items and tips that can accomplish exactly what you want it to accomplish.

I’ve been using this tip for years and when I can’t afford my favorite long lasting lip color at a reasonable price, I’ll use a generic method to get the same result until I see my favorite long lasting lip color on sale.

The first beauty item I will speak about is long color stay lasting lip products. Woman swear by many name brands of long lasting lip color but there is a generic way of getting the same result. Over the years I’ve accumulated dozens of lip pencils. I have dozens of colors and finally felt the need to actually use them more frequently. When it’s time to put lipstick on my lips before I head out for the day, I’ll take a dark berry or red lip pencil to trace the outside of my lips, then I’ll take a lighter lip pencil and fill in the rest of my lips. I use my pinkie-finger to blend the colors in, apply a little bit of chap-stick or something similar onto my lips, rub my lips together then add a bit more color using the lip pencils. The process takes about a minute and you would be amazed how long the lip pencil colors last. I don’t feel the need to touch my lip color up until four or five hours later. The color does last a long time and for a fraction of the cost of long lasting color stay lipsticks.

Facial Scrubs Beauty Tips

The last on the cheap beauty tip for you to try is about facial scrubs. Of course I have my favorite brand but my favorite brand costs .95 a tube and spending .00 a tube is not always in my budget. Beauty Tips

Makeup Tips


Women enjoy applying makeup, as it helps them look beautiful. However, not everyone can make the most of beauty cosmetics. There is a certain way to apply the makeup to get the best results. Here are some makeup tips that will help you obtain charming results.

Instead of using powder, one can use blush in the form of gel or cream. Applying a pink shade of blush will result in a more natural look. Gels and creams are not as opaque as powder and thus, they blend well. One can rub them on the cheekbones and blend the color in the upward direction. This will result in a rosy complexion.

Sometimes, women might not get the time to pamper themselves at a salon with a manicure. To make unpolished nails look fabulous, file them into a square shape. Then, buff them, so that they shine. Put on a coat of clear polish and finally apply a little cuticle oil and moisturizer. Within an hour, the nails will look polished.

In case the nail polish color one has applied is sloppy, wait for a few minutes for the color to dry completely. Now, you can dip the nails in warm water and remove the excess nail polish by rubbing with a finger.

Sometimes, while sharpening the lip liner or an eyeliner pencil, the pencil breaks because of its soft structure. To avoid this, place the liner in the freezer for around 10 minutes before sharpening it. After the pencil becomes hard, it will be more resistant to breaking.

Eye makeup can be a tricky business many times. A variety of things could go wrong. To prevent mascara from smudging onto your face, apply a light coat of mascara over the top lashes. Finish off by using an eyelash brush to prevent the clustering of mascara.

Another eye makeup trick is to warm the eyelash curler before using it. Heat it with a hair dryer and wait for it to subside to a comfortable temperature. Next, use it to curl the lashes. The heat makes the curling effect remain on eyelashes for long, especially on long eyelashes.

Makeup foundation is a difficult section of makeup. Its application is easy, but choosing the right shade is rather tough. To improve the judgment, you could apply the makeup foundation on the inside of your wrist. The skin here is nearly flawless and thus, it will give a good idea of what the foundation will look like on the skin.

Another tip is to apply the makeup foundation after the application of the entire eye makeup. This way, one can remove any blemishes made by the eyeliner or mascara.

Lipstick will last longer, if it has a proper base. For this, shade the lips with liner, before applying the lipstick onto it.

Cosmetics are to women what flowers are to nature. They accentuate the beautiful details and hide the imperfections. With a little care in the application, makeup can give amazing results to a woman.

Best Beauty Tips For A Healthy And Natural Look


‘Beauty is skin deep’, so goes the good old saying. But, that does not rob the charm of enhancing your looks. So, hey there, beauty conscious, there’s just no harm in having some of the best beauty tips up your sleeves. For looking and feeling beautiful is a sign of health and happiness. And in an age where looking good spells confidence and success, it’s vital that you have the best beauty tips handy.

Pamper Your Body

The first secret to true beauty is a natural body glow. Try a refreshing exfoliate with a homemade mix of olive oil, sea salt or sugar. Dry brushing your body, preferably with a natural bristle brush before a bath. It helps to stimulate the glands.

A Little Thought for your Eyes, Hands and Feet

- Moisturise your hands and feet regularly. Don’t forget to file your nails and apply nail polish.

- Free your eyes of the tired look simply with a spoon. Keep it in the fridge and apply to the eyelids.

- Once you have ensured a healthy body, be in fashion with the best make-up tips.

Magic of Natural Make-Up

The secret of smart make-up is to keep it natural. But often unhygienic and wrong use of make-up causes harm. Here are the best beauty tips to avoid a make-up mess:

- Eye care: To ensure healthy eyes change your mascara every three months, eye shadows every six to twelve months and sharpen your eye pencil regularly.

- Mascara basics: To avoid mascara smudging, apply a thin layer to the top lashes only and then use an eyelash brush.

- Natural glow: A gel blush or cream gives a more natural look than a powder.

- Brow beauty: For a natural look, eyebrows must not look pencil thin. Use a definer for extra volume.

- Eyeliner tips: Use liquid liner instead of a pencil, to avoid smudging in the crease of the lid.

- Foundation fashion: While choosing a concealer or foundation, check the shade on the palm side of your wrist. It tells whether the shade would look natural on you.

Haute Hair Tips

A homemade hair pack is better than shampooing. Natural stuff like apple cider vinegar keeps shampoo toxins at bay.
The right hairdo makes the correct fashion statement. Always discuss your face shape with your hairdresser, to decide on a style

Do’s ‘N’ Don’ts

Common beauty blunders arise from ignorance. Here are the best beauty tips to be better informed:

- Avoid soap and switch to natural cleansers

- Wash your face often

- Use an eye cream regularly

- Drink lots of water

- Never forget a sunscreen

- Use natural beauty packs

Mind Matters

Last but not the least; you just can’t glow unless its heart felt. So, the best beauty tips include doing something you enjoy whenever you can. Always take a break, chat with friends, forget your worries, set your mind free and just watch the wonders.

Women Of Color: Makeup Ideas And Color Suggestions For Light-To-Medium And Dark Skintones


Makeup tones that flatter women of color are usually deep, rich tones.  To show off your natural skintone, select highly-pigmented makeup shades for more brilliant color.   Specific color suggestions for women of color are divided into two different categories below:  light-to-medium skintones and dark skintones.   (Basic eye shadow contouring and color placement, along with blush and lip color placement, is the same for ALL skintones.  Basic color placement tips and instruction can be accessed through the author’s website blog.)   

COLOR SUGGESTIONS FOR WOMEN OF COLOR FALL INTO 2 CATEGORIES:  1) Light-to-Medium skintones & 2) Dark skintones.

Colors that accentuate and flatter LIGHT-TO-MEDIUM skintones are:

FOR EYES…

* High-pigment powder eye shadows in shades of Browns, Beiges and Coppers will add definition to the eyes.  Examples of these highly-pigmented tones are shown below.
          
     
  

* Use a liquid or pencil eye liner in Black as shown.  High-pigment Black liquid liner on left and Black pencil eyeliner on right.
 
* For eyebrows, select a tone that is the same shade or 1/2 shade lighter than your hair color.  Shown below are examples of a charcoal gray and brunette automatic eyebrow pencil.

       
* Finish with macara in Black.  

FOR LIPS…

Hint:  First apply your foundation to the lips to ‘even out’ the skintone on the lip prior to applying lip liner and lip color.

* Lip colors in Soft Peach, Raisin, or Coral tones (examples shown below) will define the lips beautifully.

     

* For lip liner, select a tone similar to your lip color choice, for example, the shade on the left below will match the first two lip gloss shades above.  The lip pencil shade on the right will coordinate with the lip gloss on the far right above.
 
        

FOR CHEEKS…

Hint:  To achieve most glowing results with your blush, select similar shades of blush and lip color.

* Blush tones in Peachy-Browns and Corals coordinate beautifully with suggested lip colors above.
 
         

FOR SHOULDERS, ARMS AND LEGS…

Show off your skin with Body Shimmer Powders in a soft warm tone. 
  

 
FOR EXTRA GLAMOUR… 

Use the eye shadow tones suggested above, then blend a charcoal eye shadow softly into the browns to add a sultry look.   Apply a warm red or deep brownish-red shade to the lips and brush a coral tone on cheeks…and you’ve got your night-time glam look!   Glam-up recommendations shown below are a matte eye shadow in a charcoal black, a coral blush and lip glosses in warm, clear red and a brownish-red. 
             
 
 

Colors that accentuate and flatter DARK skintones are:

FOR EYES…

* High-pigment powder eye shadows in shades of Dark Purples, Midnight Blues and Golds will add definition to the eyes.  Examples of these highly-pigmented tones are shown below:  
         
                  

* Use a liquid or pencil eye liner in Black. High-pigment Black liquid liner on left and Black pencil eyeliner on right. 
 
* For eyebrows, select a tone that is the same shade or 1/2 shade lighter than your hair color.  Shown below are examples of a charcoal gray and brunette automatic eyebrow pencil.
 
       

* Finish with macara in Black.   

FOR LIPS…

Hint:  First apply your foundation to the lips to ‘even out’ the skintone on the lip prior to applying lip liner and lip color.

* Lip colors in Burgundies, Plums and Caramel tones (examples shown below) will define the lips beautifully. 

                

* For lip liner, select a tone similar to your lip color choice.  The lip liner example shades below coordinate with the lip gloss shades shown above, in corresponding order.
 

         
             

FOR CHEEKS…

Hint:  To achieve most glowing results with your blush, select similar shades of blush and lip color.

* Blush tones in Deep Roses and Plums will coordinate beautifully with suggested lip color examples above. 
 
           

FOR SHOULDERS, BACK, ARMS AND LEGS…

Show off your skin with Body Shimmer Powders in soft bronze tones as shown.
 

 
 
WHY select highly-pigmented makeup colors?   Makeup colors that look best for photography and stage are usually highly-pigmented, meaning they contain strong color pigments and are not sheer.  A highly-pigmented makeup color product will allow the user to apply a small amount to achieve a bit of color or it can provide darker, dramatic color when applied more heavily.  This allows flexibility for the user to achieve her preferred look.  Along with being longer-lasting, the strong color pigment in highly-pigmented makeup colors will hold up against the harsh lighting from cameras and stage lights (no washed-out, ghostly makeup looks).

Autumn Makeup Tips, Latest Trends in Fashion, Beauty and Hair Styles


If you want to be up-to-date on what’s coming this season, keep reading because we’ll tell you the 3 makeup tips you must know to be up on the latest in makeup and hairstyles.

1. Makeup Tips – Beauty: What’s new?

Current trends in skin come from past seasons. The goal is to have “fresh and cared-for” skin with a healthy look. How to achieve it? Follow the beauty ritual you already know:

Clean your face morning and night
Moisturize your eyes
Moisturize your entire face morning and night with a cream specifically for your type of skin
Use a mask designed for your type of skin at least once a week.
When needed, also use an appropriate serum.

• Something new: Advance Night Repair concentrate (approx. €83) from Estee Lauder. This is a product that people will be talking about. It just came out on the market in September and is a perfect shock treatment product. It cures the skin and you can use it each time the season changes or when your skin is stressed and saturated.

2. Makeup Tips: Makeup: What is the trend this season?

Silky skin

The trend of last season continues: healthy skin with a light foundation or with a luminous effect. Remember to correct under eye circles and redness beforehand. Blend your foundation well so it looks natural.

• Something new: try the latest from Yves Saint Laurent which includes a brush.

Seductive look

The colors of the season are chocolates and the entire range of coffee colors, from capucchino to cafe au lait.

The smokey eye style. Here we give you the steps to follow to get the look:

Step By Step Smokey Eye Makeup (easily)

• Make up the interior eyelid with dark brown pencil, both upper and lower.

• Follow the same step on the upper and lower outer lid. It’s best to draw a thin line and thicken it little by little.

• Blend the pencil with a brush with brown shadow on it (or a chocolate tone that you like)

• Blend all the way to the bone, leaving no lines at all.

• Blend the lower lid with a fine brush, gently. Then apply a shiny cream on the fixed eyelid.

• Make up your lashes with intensity. Use a curler first and then two layers of black mascara.

Cheeks: Blushing is in fashion!

The trend in cheeks is to use cream or liquid blush in pale rose tones to give that healthy look.

• A good trick: apply the foundation, then (before the powder), apply the cream blush. Then use a brush lightly impregnated with translucent powder, and finally apply a little powder blush in a similar color. You’ll look great.

And remember: the best idea is to blend cream and liquid blushes with a sponge or with the fingertips.

Lips: Red is in season!

But if you do, choose light eye makeup.

If you make up your lips in red tones, remember to be very careful in the corners of the mouth. Follow these 3 makeup tips:

Apply a neutral toned pencil around the lips and blend to erase the natural lip line (the trick is to blend well).
Make up the lips with a red pencil, and inside the lips as well so that when the lipstick fades, you won’t see a dark line.
Make up the lips with a brush in the intense red color you choose. You can apply gloss on top to give the most modern look.

3. Makeup Tips: HairStyles: The latest!

These are the three most popular hairstyles on the runways. They are all easy and comfortable!

Straight And Parted In The Middle

This is a very current and easy look if you have straight hair and like to let it fall. If you don’t have straight hair, to achieve it there is nothing like the new irons. Now there are ceramic irons that don’t damage the hair so much. Remember to always use a product to protect your hair before using a hairdryer or iron.

Neither Curley Nor Straighten

This is a trend that continues because of its ease and comfort. Here are some tips to help you achieve it:

Straighten the longest layer of hair, totally smooth.
Straighten the intermediate layer first to be able to shape it easily.
Put in some wide rollers, rolled upwards and not very tight, in the middle layer, or use a curling iron to give shape, gently.
Straighten the shortest layer but give volume by using hairspray on the upper part of the head.
If you have bangs, straighten them with an intermediate-sized round brush to maintain the volume. There you have it!
Bangs

Bangs are one of those touches that give personality and shape to the hair. You can wear them long at any age and very short (only for the young ones). Consult your stylist for recommendations that look best with your hair and face.
