Every culture has standards of beauty which its people seek to fulfill. Different cultures have different ideas about what is beautiful and this can include internal or external characteristics. Sometimes, tiny things can have a big impact on personal beauty. By making the effort to change small things in your life, you can look the way you want to look.

Before you apply makeup, moisturize your face lightly. Not only are moisturizers excellent for your skin, they help make it easier to apply your makeup evenly. If you moisturize your skin first, your makeup won’t appear blotchy. This is a great way to make your makeup last longer and keep your face with a fresh look.

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.

Heat your eyelash curler with your blow dryer. Hold your curler in front of your hair dryer for a few seconds. Be sure to check the temperature before using it on your eyelashes because it could burn you. Your eyelashes will curl better with a little heat applied to them.

When you first wake up in the morning you should pamper yourself. The best way to start your day off on the right foot is to take the time to brush your hair, wash your face, and brush your teeth. Do not neglect your own needs if you want to stay beautiful.

If you want to stay beautiful, keep your skin healthy, and feel good, drink lots of water! 5-8 glasses of water a day is great, and even more is always good if you can manage it. Drinking plenty of water helps with bad or dry skin and many other ailments.

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.

To make your eyelashes look thicker, dust them with a coat of loose powder before applying your mascara. Use a small brush to apply a thin layer of translucent powder to your eyelashes, taking care not to get the powder in your eyes. Follow up with a coat of your favorite mascara over the top of the powder.

Many makeup artists use pink to distract attention from any problems that appear on the face. Pink lipstick will take peoples attention off of acne or puffy red eyes.

If you have an overly pale appearance this can be due to iron deficiency. Take a daily iron supplement or eat a spoonful of iron-rich manuka honey. This will help you look healthier and give your skin a natural glow.

To brighten your skin, try making homemade face masks. Face masks can typically be made from things you have around your house and will give your skin a lovely, natural glow. Look for mask recipes with ingredients like tomato juice, sandlewood powder, or oatmeal. All of these things are great for your face!

If you are running low on a discontinued color of nail polish, mix it with some polish remover to get more out of each bottle. Then shake it well and apply like normal to your nails. You may find the color to be a little lighter, but still very close.

If you have discovered that the hair around you face is drying out and breaking off, you could be using hot irons or other heating tools too much. You could try an intense conditioner or create your own by adding two teaspoons of olive oil to the conditioner, and let it sit on the hairline for five minutes, and then rinse. Repeat this once a week.

Starting in the back and in sections, work on your hair style. The very back of the head typically needs more effort than anywhere else, since it is the farthest place to reach. Arms tire easily when blow-drying hair, so you should start in the back.

Keep some fabric softener sheets on hand for beauty emergencies. Fabric sheets can be used to tame a static skirt that wants to stick you your hose. It can do the same for wild hair. Another thing it is good for is running through your hair to quell obnoxious odors like smoke.
