We have looked everywhere for the easiest, cheapest, simplest and most effective beauty tips there are and have compiled our list of the top 30 beauty tips that every women should know:
SKIN
1. Dry Brush Your Skin Before Shower
We’re not kidding! Using a Dry Brush on your skin everyday before a shower actually helps stimulate the oil glands in our skin and keeps the skin looking smooth and healthy. Remember not to use a harsh brush though. Begin brushing gently from your feet upwards in circular motion.
2. Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate!
Yes, that’s our mantra for a clean, clear skin. Exfoliating your skin regularly helps cleanse your skin of all the dirt, pollution and other chemicals it is exposed to everyday.
For a quick homemade exfoliating scrub, add white granulated sugar to your body wash. Sugar is one of the most effective cleansers and will make your skin clean and smooth. Remember to wash your tub or shower thoroughly after applying this to avoid any stickiness.
3. Sunscreen
When can you skip sunscreen ? Never Here’s a trick we wish we knew: The first beauty product you should apply every day is sunscreen, even if it’s cloudy or rainy outside. Why? Good habits start young and if you use sunscreen now, you’ll have gorgeous skin when you’re 50, 60, 70. Remember, the sun’s UV rays can penetrate clouds and car windows.
4. Professional Acne Help
Acne? Get thee to a dermatologist, stat Biggest mistake people with acne make? Not going to a dermatologist. Forget those $150 jeans you covet. Getting rid of those pimples will be the best investment you’ll ever make. And the only guaranteed way to do it is with a dermatologist.
5. Self Tanner Smells
Self-tanner will always stink. Unfortunately, even the best ones smell. Your best bet is to apply self-tanner a good 24 hours before an important event and take a shower (don’t loofah) to wash off any smell. For really big events like a dance or wedding, consider a professional spray tan.
HAIR
6. Natural Hair is Best
If you have super dark hair, lighten your look by going a shade darker or getting lighter highlights. Blonde? Try highlights, especially framing the face. We see too many women lightening their hair several shades and the look can be super-tacky, not super-fabulous. The trick is to let people assume you were born with sun-kissed hair, not that you gave yourself a bad dye job from a bottle.
7. Flaunt Sexy, Stylish Hair in minutes
Do you need to look your best tonight but have no time to rush to the Hair Stylist or a Beauty Salon? Don’t worry. You can fix your hair at home in minutes with some of the Hair-Styling products that are available on the market today. For example, you can add volume and bounce to your hair, make your hair look wavy, curl the ends under or straighten it with a Texturizing Cream. All you need to do is dry your hair with a towel after shower and rub the texturizing cream through your hair.
8. Having a Flat Hair Day?
Blow-drying your hair upside down for about 10 minutes could help add more volume and make your hair look bouncy.
9. Oily Hair
Invest in a dry shampoo If you have blonde hair, sprinkling a bit of baby powder on your roots and at your crown will soak up excess oils. If you have brown hair, you might be better off with a dry shampoo for your hair color.
Make-Up
10. The right make-up
Always pick skin care products that are labeled “noncomedogenic” (do not encourage the formation of closed pores) or “non-acnegenesis” (do not cause acne).
11. Less is More
Ever notice how some of your friends look best with no makeup at all? No matter your age, too much makeup makes you look worse. If you wear foundation, powder, blush, liner, mascara, eyeshadow, lip liner and gloss on an everyday basis, then you’re overdoing it. Tone it down: All you really need is a great mascara, concealer for blemishes and gloss. Add a pop of blush in winter.
12. Test Your Foundation
Before picking a foundation or concealer, always test if it matches your skin tone by rubbing a few drops on the inside of your wrist. The skin around your wrist is smooth and flawless and gives a clear idea of how the foundation would look when you apply it on your face.
13. Foundation not for Teenagers
If you’re a teenager than skip the foundation If you have acne the first thing you want to do is slather on the thick foundation. Don’t. Foundation is for women over 35. Not only will it cover up your natural beauty, but foundation on a teenager looks anything but natural. Instead, cover up blemishes with concealer, then follow with a powder or tinted mosturizer. Tinted moisturizers tend to be lighter than heavy foundations.
14. Blush Cream
To add a natural glow to your face, use a blush cream or gel instead of powder in the shades of pink or peach. The advantage of using a Gel or Cream instead of powder is that they are more smooth and transparent and tend to blend evenly. Rub the blush on your cheekbones, blending up towards the eye for a flawless complexion.
15. Pat Concealer In
You pat concealer in, you never rub it in. When applying concealer, put a bit on the pad of your middle finger and pat it in. Never rub. Got acne? Pat the concealer on top of it.
16. Eyes first, Foundation second
Apply the foundation only after you are done with your eye make-up. This will help you take care of any last minute eyeliner or mascara smudging under the eyes.
17. Lips OR Eyes
Play up your lips or your eyes, never both If you are wearing heavy eye makeup, go for nude lips with just a bit of gloss. Prefer the drama of dark lipstick? Keep face light (stay away from heavy blush) and wear only mascara on your eyes and a light eyeshadow. Don’t heavily line your eyes. Play up both and you’ll look like a clown.
18. Sharpen Your Eyeliners
Sharpen your eyeliners frequently to keep them clean. Keep your eyeliner or lip liner in the freezer for about 10 minutes before sharpening them. This will make them a bit hard and they won’t break while sharpening.
19. Deep-Set Eyes?
If you have deep-set eyes, use liquid eyeliner instead of a regular eye pencil to avoid smudging.
20. Eye Safety
To make sure your eyes stay free of infection from make up, discard your powder eye shadows every 9 to 18 months, mascara after 3 months and cream eye shadows every 6 to 12 months.
21. Mascara Flaking?
To avoid the mascara from spreading or flaking-off, first apply a thin coat of mascara on your top lashes and then brush them with an eyelash brush to prevent clumps.
22. Extra Curl Eyelashes
Heat the eyelash curler by holding it in front of a hair dryer for a few seconds before curling your eyelashes. Check the temperature, then use on your eyelashes. The heat helps the extra long eyelashes get better curls.
23. Long Lasting Eyeliner
Applying eyeshadow on top of the eyeliner with damp cotton will make the eyeliner stay for longer.
24. Eye Liner
Don’t line the inside of your eyes It will make your eyes appear smaller. Instead, line just at the lash line. Also, an obvious line doesn’t look natural. Smudge the line just a bit.
25. Dry Lips
If you suffer from dry lips, which usually stops you from using lipstick, apply a coat of lip balm on your lips before you start applying make-up. By the time you’re through with your eyes and face, your lips would have been moisturized and ready to show-off your favorite matte lipstick!
26. Stained Teeth
To avoid the lipstick from staining your teeth, stick your finger in your mouth and suck in as you pull it out. The finger will scoop out the lipstick that is left inside your mouth.
27. Lip Liner
Never, ever line lips in a darker color than your gloss or lipstick.
28. Save your old nail polish
Has your nail polish become thick and chunky because it has been lying for too long? Most of the times, old Nail polishes begin to thicken around the bottom of the bottle. To make them thin, add a few drops of nail polish thinner or nail polish remover.
29. Vaseline
Vaseline is your best friend Vaseline is a great, cheap eye makeup remover. It’s also great for fixing chapped, scaly lips. Slather on a bunch of Vaseline, then use a toothbrush to massage lips. Wipe the excess off on a tissue. Your lips will be smooth and soft.
Misc
30. Quit Smoking
It may be hard, but the best thing you can do for a beautiful, glowing complexion is to stop smoking. Smoking both dehydrates and deprives your skin of oxygen, so you will see real benefits – skin will become smoother and more radiant. Not to mention avoiding yellow skin and teeth, lifeless hair and the countless other detrimental health effects.
31. Drink More Water
Never forget to drink as much water as possible. If you want beautiful skin, this is hands-down the most important beauty tip. Your skin is over 80% water, not drinking enough H2O will always impact on your skin.
