Mascara Tips

Here are some mascara tips to help you get perfect lashes every time: 

  • If you want your eyelashes to look longer, make sure to pay close attention to the mascara at the base of your lashes. If that's not put on evenly, nothing else you do will make your lashes look long.
  • Always take the time to separate your lashes. Just a little twist as you move from bottom to top with your mascara wand should do the trick
  • Don't forget to run the mascara wand over both the inside and the outside of the lash for evenness.

Dramatic MascaraClumps and Bumps:

If your key problem is clumpy mascara you can try a couple of things. First it may simply be time to get new mascara. Generally as mascara dries and gets old, it also gets more finicky and clumpy.

Secondly, check your mascara wand. It might be goopy. If so, give it a thorough cleaning then try again.

Third, make sure you're not applying a second coat of mascara before the first coat dries. If you do – it WILL clump.

If its not the age of the mascara or the condition of the wand, and your first coat of mascara is fully dry, then get yourself a lash comb to brush those clumps out.

Mascara TipsMascara tips and tricks from Pros

People who work with makeup regularly suggest that you try using more than one type of mascara. Put on a light coating of mascara that's intended to lengthen, then another light coat of thickening mascara.

Beyond this makeup artists play a lot with colored mascaras so you could actually have one color at the base of your lashes and something different at your tips, or use the two-types of mascara for lengthening and thickness in two colors to give more depth of hue.

Finally don't under estimate the importance of an eyelash curler. This opens up your eyes and makes them look wider. If you heat the curler just before you use it, you'll find the overall effect much prettier.

Mascara TipsSmudges:

You can now buy foundation powder and eyelash primer for your eyes. This not only helps your eye make up last longer but keeps the mascara under your eye from smudging as easily because the skin there won't be as oily.

If you find you always smudge your bottom lashes, hold a folded tissue in place while you apply the mascara. Works like a charm every time! For those little dots that appear on your upper eye lids – remember to keep your eye partially closed after applying your mascara. About 30 seconds should do the trick – no dots!

Finally remember to buy waterproof mascara.

By following these mascara tips you should find that you're successful with mascara application more consistently, and have much richer looking lashes that last as long as you do!

Glowing skin tips

This summer having beautiful, healthy glowing skin is one of the hottest beauty trends out there. Of course, having great skin is something that we all want all to have all year round and so here are some tips on how to get it.

Be sure to remove your makeup every night before you go to bed, so your skin can breathe.

Be sure to wash your face with a gentle cleanser every morning.

Apply SPF to your skin every single day. Even if it's raining outside you should do this because your skin will need the extra protection.

Apply moisturizer that is made for your skin type over your SPF. The moisturizer should be thicker during the winter so that it helps to protect your skin from the cold and lighter during the summer so that it doesn't feel heavy.

Don't pick your pimples! You may want to. After all, the pimples are just sitting there staring at you, but picking them will only make them worse and you can damage your skin by picking them.

Gently exfoliate you skin every week in order to remove any dead skin cells. This will leave your looking and feeling smooth and fresh.

When applying makeup, try to use disposable face sponges and brushes or clean makeup brushes. Dirty brushes have a lot of bacteria and can cause skin irritation. If you don't want to use disposable appliers, then be sure to clean your brushes at least once a week.

If you need a little bit of an extra glow, you can apply some bronzer to your skin.

Once a week, apply a face mask to your face and neck that is meant to make your skin smoother.

Before you go to bed, clean your face with a cleanser and then with toner. The reason that you're washing your face twice during the day is because you've been out and about all day and your skin has attracted lot of dirt. The toner simply removes any excess dirt which wasn't removed by the cleanser.

Getting enough sleep is vital to having beautiful skin because your body rests and the stress rolls off. When your body is happy, it shows!

Be sure to follow a healthy diet. While we may all want to eat fried or processed foods from time to time, it's important to have a healthy diet filled with vegetables, fruits, fish and poultry. The vitamins and minerals that are found in these foods will do wonders for your skin and health in general

Drink eight glasses of water every day. If you have a few extra pounds on you then you should drink more because your body needs water to keep hydrated. Water flushes out toxins from your body and carries essential nutrients to your organs- including your skin.
