Some people think you are born beautiful, or you’re not. This is not true. This article will show you how to be the most beautiful you can. Beauty is more that just the exterior appearance; the personality needs to be attractive as well.
Accentuate blue eyes with warm eyeshadow colors like coppers, golds and apricots. Shades of dark brown and little bits of maroon or purple eyeliner and mascara are useful, so use them as well. Those colors help blues to stand out.
Your hair color should influence which cosmetic colors look the best on you. For example, if you are a brunette, you can use a dark mahogany eyeshadow as a multitasking tool. In a pinch, it can be used to fill in sparse eyebrows, line your upper lash line, and even cover gray roots on your hairline.
Keep wool pads that have been soaked in water, in your fridge. You can also keep teabags or cucumbers in your fridge. This is great if you have puffy eyes and can relieve them. Using this on your eyes will make you look refreshed and will last all day.
Cracked heels and dry, flaking feet are very unattractive, especially in sandals. To combat this problem, right before you go to bed, soak your feet in a warm water bath for ten minutes, coat them with petroleum jelly and then cover them with a thick pair of socks to lock in the moisture. In no time, you’ll have soft feet.
If you don’t like the look of your hair curled with a curling iron, try curling it with a straightener. Simply wrap your hair around the straightener and pull it through to the ends. This produces a much more natural looking curl, although it can take a little longer to do.
Make your shampoo and conditioner last longer. If you are using an expensive shampoo or conditioner that is thick, you can stretch out the amount of use you get out of it by watering it down. Be careful not to add too much water because this can ruin it.
Use a highlighter or moisturizer with warm gold or pink undertones to add some life back to dull wintery skin. Get that glowing, radiant effect by using a sponge to apply cosmetics to your brown bones and cheeks. Be careful not to over apply the product, as this will make your face look unnaturally shiny.
Select a curling iron, one size smaller than the curls you desire. This will help to ensure that your curls don’t get limp or fall out after you put all the work into curling them. They will be a little tight at first but after you finish, gently run your fingers through them to break them up, and then hair spray to perfection.
You can apply makeup to your wide-set eyes in a way that is very flattering and can make the eyes appear closer together. First, apply a dark brown or navy eyeliner to the inner corners of your eyes, then blend it with a sponge. Apply your eyeshadow at the inner corners, then blend well outward.
Cucumber juice or rosewater can be used to minimize dark circles under the eyes. These have cooling properties that lighten skin affected by dark circles. You can use this treatment by taking a cotton pad and dipping it in the liquid from either rosewater or cucumbers. Put this over your eyes for at least 15 minutes.
If you have discovered little white bumps under your eyes, know that these are called Milia and are quite common. They are a harmless form of a cyst caused by dry, dead cells being trapped under the skin. You can try exfoliation or use a moisturizer that includes an exfoliant with vitamin A to help them disappear, and prevent them in the future.
When crying, you should tilt the head so you do not ruin your mascara. By wiping and blotting away tears you will minimize the stream of makeup down your face.
If your face has a lot of dry skin, you should visit a beautician for specialized moisturizing treatment to your face. This type of treatment targets dry facial skin and smooths the appearance of the skin by removing dead skin cells. Herbal extracts, minerals, and vitamins work to increase your skin’s moisture and elasticity.
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.
It’s so true that beauty is more than how you look on the outside. The following article offers tips you can use no matter what you think. Stay positive and you’ll look and feel better in no time.
