Beauty Tips And Tricks

Everyone has had a moment where they are trying to get ready and something has broken or become messed up. Getting ready is never an easy task and somethings never seem to work out the way you wanted. Well here are some beauty fixes for you to try when things do not work out the way they are supposed to.

1. Fading Lipstick.
Everyone has had that problem. You are half way threw the night and your lipstick has become dull and faded. After you have applied your lipstick, put a kleenex over your lips and dust a translucent powder over them. It will keep the color nice and bright all night long. To add a little shine, add your favorite lip gloss on top.

2. Thin Lashes.
Want the look of fuller, longer looking lashes with out applying fake lashes? Try this tip. Apply your first coat of mascara then take a q-tip, dip it in baby powder and run it across your lashes (focusing on the tips.) Then apply another coat on top. The end result is longer, fuller looking lashes.

3. Thin Lips.
Want fuller looking lips? Before applying lipstick or lip gloss, apply a pale shade of eyeshadow to the middle of your lips. It will create the illusion of fuller lips.

4. Dry Heels/Feet.
At the end of the day, soak your feet in warm water for about 10-15 mins. Remove and dry. Apply vaseline and socks on to your feet. The warmth will allow your feet to absorb the moisture and help to reduce the dryness. This is the best for the cold, dry winter months.

5. Eyebrows.
In need of an eyebrow trimming? Fake it for a night out. Apply lip balm on your finger and run it across your eyebrows to keep them in place. Follow with an eyebrow brush to keep them from becoming clumped together.

6.Broken Eyeshadow.
If your powder eyeshadow or blush has broke add some rubbing alcohol into it. Mix it together so it forms a paste, pat down and let it dry over night. It will make your powder good as new! 

7. Eyeshadow Smudging.
To keep your eye shadow lasting all day, be sure to use an eyeshadow primer. Applying a primer will keep your shadow from rubbing off. If you do not have a primer, use unscented lip balm.

8. Under Eye Tones.
Have circles under your eyes that won't go away? Use a concealer with an orange tone to it. Orange cancels out blue tones and will cover up the under eye circles. Finish with a powder that matches your skin tone.

These are some great tips to help make your every day beauty routine easier and help fix some problems you may see along the way. Have a beautiful day and enjoy these last few days of summer vacation.
