When you think of beauty, do you just see it as something that makes your commute take much longer? If so, then you have a very narrow view of the subject. Beauty is so much more than that and it can be personalized so that it works with your own schedule. Read on to find out how.
Use fake eyelashes. They are actually easy to apply and can be found at a cheap price. They can really enhance the look of your eyes and are great for creating that dramatic look. You can use a look like this anytime, but it’s often a look many try to go for at night.
The eyeliners or lip liners that you use should be sharpened often. If you constantly sharpen them, they will be clean each time you use them. If you freeze them before sharpening, you will have an easier time.
Keep your face looking beautiful and young by investing in an appointment with a board certified dermatologist or doctor. Many spa treatments that are marketed as facials can contain unnecessary ingredients, harmful substances, and harsh applications that can easily leave your skin damaged and in worse shape than before. A dermatologist’s goal is to help you; a spa employee’s goal is to sell more products.
Use cocoa butter on stretchmarks and scars. Cocoa butter is a beauty treatment with roots in ancient times. It has long been known to normalize skin-tone, and to make your skin more resilient. Cocoa butter has a small price-tag, and is available almost anywhere you can buy lotions or creams.
To reduce red tones in your skin, use a green based concealer. Because green and red are opposite from each other on the color wheel, the green tones in the concealer will cancel out any red tones in your skin. However, keep in mind that you only need to use a very small amount of concealer to counteract the red. If you use too much you can wind up looking green instead.
Always remove makeup before going to bed. If you sleep with your makeup on, you increase the likelihood you will get acne and blackheads. Makeup can trap dirt and oil on your face. Clean and tone your face every night. Don’t forget to add moisturizer when you are finished cleaning.
Caffeine is not always the best for your body, so consume sparingly if you want to maintain your beauty. Caffeine has been known to make you feel tired, cause you to feel jittery, and also make you look older over time. Limit tea and coffee to one cup a day. Try substituting green tea or decaffeinated coffee as an alternative to however many cups of the regular beverage you usually have.
A brush with boar bristles is useful in combating frizzy hair. Frizzy hair is a pretty common problem. Boar bristle brushes are great for frizzy hair if used while you dry wet hair. Brush your hair with it, making sure that the hair dryer is blowing downward.
Make sure that your blush and your lip color are in harmony. If you are using blush, it is important to make sure that it matches the color you are using for your lips. Pink should be with pink, red with red, etc. If the colors vary too greatly from one another, they will clash terribly.
Shimmer eye shadow should definitely be something you keep in your makeup kit. Adding a little shine to your lids makes your eyes appear bright and large. Many eye shadows come with shimmery options. Chose colors you are comfortable wearing. Try different shades and apply them in with different utensils until you find the right look.
You can obtain a sexy, glossy lip appearance by making them appear more full. First, outline the lip edges a few shades darker than your actual skin tone using a concealer brush and bronzer. Then use a top out with a coral, peach or gold gloss.
If you’re in between hair dresser appointments, and need to hide some roots, use dark mascara on black or brunette hair and gold eye shadow on blond hair! Nobody is perfect and if you’ve scheduled your hair salon appointment too far in advance to save your roots from showing, brush them lightly with appropriately colored mascara or combine hair spray and blond shades of powder to conceal those roots until you can see your stylist!
While taking care of your appearance is something that is very important for a myriad of reasons it should never be done at the expense of your personality. This means that you shouldn’t forget your social life and your other interests in an attempt to give more time to take care of your physical appearance.
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.
Start adding your beauty activities to your regular daily plans. If you break up the days that you take care of yourself you will only need small 10 minute blocks. Attempting to do everything at one time may leave you feeling overwhelmed, and you might give up.
If your skin looks like it could use a wake-up, try this idea. Use a hot, damp washcloth (with a few drops of your favorite essential oil on it, or plain is fine too) and press it gently against your face for a minute. Finish with a splash of very cold water. The heat will improve your facial circulation and open your pores, while the cold water will tighten your skin and wake you up generally.
After reading through all of that, do you still see beauty in the same way? Do you now see that it is so much more and that they are very simple things that you can add to your commute to help improve your appearance? It’s really not hard work and hours of getting ready. It’s, basically, whatever you make it.
