5-10 Beauty Tips and Tricks

5. If you have oily skin, yours will be better at the age of 60, compared to those with dry skin.
6. Want your lipstick to stay on longer? Dab it onto the back of your hand and then take your finger and pat it onto your lips.
7. Buy 2 pairs of exfoliating gloves. 1 pair for your face wash, and the other pair for your skin while you use your body wash. Get different colors so you don't mix them up.
8. Want to try bold red lips? Keep the rest of your face simple makeup. Same with the smokey eye.
9. Dry shampoo helps on the off days, and also helps on the days when you're lacking in hair volume.
10. When you put on your eyeliner, stretch out your eyelid so it's a cleaner line.

Make-Up For Beginners

"What should I start with? Bold colors? Or maybe just a lot of mascara..?"  
Is that you? Maybe in the past even? I'm sure your mom or an older sister, or maybe even a friend helped, but I'm here to help all beginners who want a second opinion!

-Mascara (black) I'd suggest Colossal by Maybelline.
-Pencil Eyeliner (brown/black) any brand will do. Don't worry if you don't get the hang of it at first, it takes a bit of practice for most people. Just remember, less is more.
-Chapstick
-Clear Gloss Sally Hansen has tons of colors, and they're plumpers!
-Cover-up/Concealer (if needed) make sure you get a second opinion when finding the right shade for you!


When girls are first starting to wear makeup, most of them over use it, and put on way too much, just because they love the new rush of it, or they just don't know any better! 

Rule of thumb: Ask your mom if the amount of eyeliner/mascara/blush you're wearing is perfect. Trust her, she doesn't want you looking like a clown, and neither does the rest of the world ;)
