Beauty Tips
General Beauty Tips
Save your skin from premature lines and wrinkles.
Always wear an SPF15 or higher sunscreen.
Make it easy with foundation that has a built-in SPF,
Protect lips, too, since they’re the area most prone to environmental damage.
Take off your make-up every night.
Remove eye makeup first, then the rest of your makeup. It’s best to use dedicated eye make-up to remove eye make-up gently – rubbing the eye area unnecessarily can cause irritation & sore eyes!
Don’t expose make-up to germs.
Never share make-up.
Never add liquid to a product, or you may add bacteria as well.
Close make-up caps tightly after use.
If you have an eye infection, don’t use eye make-up and throw away all the products you used when you discovered the infection. The same rule applies to lip products if you get a cold sore.
Apply acne treatments first if you need them.
Apply Primer to oily patches of you skin for a flawless foundation finish.
Put them on before you apply moisturiser or foundation, so they can get to work on your skin.
Wash your brushes to avoid breakouts and to help bristles last longer.
Wet the brush head, lather well with shampoo, rinse with warm water and lay flat on a towel to dry. Brushes for liquid and cream makeup, such as lipcolor, foundation, concealer, cream eye shadow, should be washed daily. Wash all other brushes once a week, or at least every two weeks. Here’s a smart tip between washings: Swipe the bristles with antibacterial wipes after each use. The brushes will dry in about three minutes.
Eye Make Up Tips
Choose mascara if you only have time for one product.
Apply one coat to make eyes look bigger, better and brighter.
Lip Make Up Tips
Choose lip liner shades that match your natural lips, not your lipcolour.
Nail Tips
Look at your nail beds to determine your best nail shape.
Curved beds look better with rounded tips. Flat nail beds look good with squared edges. Go in between if you’re unsure: Create a slight oval at the center of your tips, then softly square the edges of your nails to get what top manicurists call the “squoval.”
Trim your nails if you wear extreme nail colours.
