This is an old set of beauty tips that I got from a dead website years ago. Some of them are pretty useful and I thought it would be fun to post!😄:
Beauty tips part 1:
1. Coat your eyelashes with Vaseline before you go to
bed. It will help them grow longer and thicker.
2. Use hand cream that contains 'glycerin' that will help
moisturize your hands more than anything.
3. To dry nail polish off quicker, run your nails through
cold water.
4. Wash your face with warm water first (open's pores)
then with cold water (close's pores). 5. Dab your concealer instead of rubbing
it on your face.
Beauty tips part 2:
1. Make a hair mask with olive oil, egg whites and honey
to help seal split ends. Use every 3rd day.
2. Get at least 8 hours of sleep, obviously and try to
take your showers in the morning, it wakes you up more!
3. For under eye circles, make chamomile tea and put the
cooled tea bags on your eyes for 15 minutes. Circles = Gone. 4. Put baby powder
on red blemishes, it helps the redness go down.
5. For shiny legs, put a bit of baby oil on a cotton ball
and wipe your legs with it. Pat them with a clean cotton ball so your legs
don't look greasy.
Beauty tips part 3:
1. Put ice on your pimple, it will make it go down.
2. When you get a cist, those hard pimples under your
skin, put a hot cloth on it to bring it to it's head.
3. Crush aspirin and add a bit of water to put on your
pimple, it helps a lot! Trust me.
4. To whiten teeth make a paste from a strawberry and a
tablespoon of baking soda. Put on a tooth brush and brush your teeth.
Afterwards, brush your teeth with toothpaste.
5. Moroccan oil works wonders for your hair.
Beauty tips part 4:
1. To make homeade porestrips, mix an egg white in a bowl
and apply to parts of your face (usually the T zone needs attention) and put
one ply tissue over top the egg whites on your face. Leave on for about 30
minutes or until dry then peel off. If you use 2 ply tissue, you'll have to
wait longer.
2. To get rid of product build up in your hair, wash your
hair with a baking soda and water paste. Make sure not to use this more than
once every 2 or 3 weeks because it will dry out your hair.
3. Instead of shaving with fancy shaving creams, use a
deep conditioner, it works just as well, if not better then shaving creams and
leaves your legs extra moisturized. 4.
Instead of waxing or shaving your stache, use moustache bleach. It bleaches
your 'facial' hair into an almost invisible color and you won’t get the
unattractive stubble you would when hair is growing back. Make sure not to use
more than once every 2 weeks, because it can dry your skin out.
5. To get flat hair, make sure you get a trim regularly
to get rid of split ends. Also after taking a shower wear a hat to flatten your
hair out and take it off when it's partially dry. Or just pat your wet hair to
your head with a towel. Products that will give you flat and smooth hair are
Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum and/or Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Daily
Treatment.
Beauty tips part 5:
1. For extra white and healthy teeth brush them 3 times a
day. Brush them after you wake up/before breakfast to get rid of all the
overnight bacteria. Then after breakfast for good breath and no food stuck in
your teeth for school (also use mouth wash) and before you go to bed (use mouth
wash too). I recommend Crest toothpaste and mouth wash because it's the only
brand that contains beads that dissolve in your mouth to help brush your teeth.
2. For girls, wear a bit of shimmer on your knees to
attract attention to your legs when you're wearing shorts or skirts. Don't wear
glitter though.
3. To make breasts look larger, apply bronzer on your
chest.
4. Apply your bronzer from your temples to your chin in
downward motions forming a c shape. This is where the light would naturally hit
and applying it in that way creates pretty angles on your face.
5. To avoid getting acne scars, if you pop your pimples,
immediately stop when you see blood. If you do, you won't get a scar or that
big of one.
Beauty tips part 6:
1. To remove body hair without shaving, wax. Yes, I know
it hurts, but it hurts to be beautiful. However, your hair grows back thinner
and slower with each 'waxing session'. I recommend Nair roll-on wax, it works
well and it's cheap. Laser hair removal treatments are also out there, but they
tend to be pricey. This is almost like shaving, but you can use Veet too. It's
a lotion that burns your hair off, but it still grows back pretty fast.
2. I know I already told you guys about Moroccan oil, but
I didn't explain what it does. It makes your hair soft and silky, protecting it
from damage without making your hair greasy.
3. To get rid of those little bumps on your face, tan it
out. Sun helps to get rid of that and it can also help for any other kind of
acne like back acne. Just don't forget to wear sunscreen.
4. A great place to tan is your roof. You get the sun
evenly on your body and it feels much more relaxing to be up there with a
breeze. Remember, when it comes to tanning, it's not the heat, but the
rays.
5. To get a flat belly, drink lots of water, cut down on
sugar and incorporate runs in your weekly routine, especially with the nice
weather. Also, the app Workout Trainer is amazing and addictive. You have
hundreds of workouts to choose from with specific body parts too.
Beauty tips part 7:
1. To get a clean tongue, either use a tongue cleaner,
tooth brush or tea spoon to scrape your tongue to get all the white coating
off. Rinse with water.
2. To get smooth hands, as I said before, moisturize them
with hand cream that contains glycerin.
3. To get glowing skin do these things : clean your hands
before cleansing your face, cleanse your face properly, keep makeup at a
minimum, apply sunscreen, chapstick and lip balm, wash your face after waking
up and before going to bed, steam your pores open about once a week, exercise,
use a weekly moisturizing mask, drink 6-8 glasses of water a day, have a
healthy diet, don't pick at pimples, keep your hands off your face as much as
possible, keep stress at a minimum, use a nutritive skin care product to feed
the skin during the night, get plenty of sleep, apply a moisturizer after
cleansing your face and always remember, if you do breakout frequently, there's
no need to worry, just pretend they're not there, because pimples are just a
part of growing up!
4. For your hair to grow longer faster, massage your
scalp with your fingers for a minute each day to get the blood flow to your
scalp or lay upside down for a minute to do the same thing. Plus, here are some
tips : eat a balanced diet, eat enough iron and zinc, don't cut fat out of your
diet, make sure you meet your recommended daily intake of Vitamin C, E and A,
reduce emotional and physical stress levels, limit damaging hair styling
treatments, take vitamin B supplement, try using horse shampoo from Maine and
Tail but it's made for humans and make sure to get enough of protein intake. 5.
To get rid of calluses, follow these 6 simple steps: a) Buy or get pumice
stone. b) Soak your feet. c) Take the pumice stone and scrub your calluses with
it. d) Use lotion once you've scrubbed the calluses away. e) Buy a calluses
remover, options includes electric callus removers or lotions. f) Take baths
regularly.
Beauty tips part 8:
1. To get a bigger butt, eat chicken, it contains some
stuff that adds fat to only your butt. I went on a chicken diet, where I ate a
lot of chicken and in a month, my butt grew a whole underwear size. It works, I
know from experience.
2. To get rid of appearance of scars, buy some Vitamin E
capsules. Break open a capsule and rub Vitamin E on existing scars daily.
Rubbing on Vitamin E helps to smooth and straighten out collagen, which is a
structural protein found in scar tissue. The Vitamin E within the capsule helps
to keep the skin soft and moisturized.
3. To stop thighs from jiggling is almost impossible. For
everyone that asked for losing leg muscle, you can't really. The thighs are the
place where most fat cells are stored, along with the hips and the gut. It's
muscle, just like your biceps, I don't know why you would want to lose muscle.
Now with the tip to help jiggling thighs, try running, it tones your legs and
makes your thighs less jiggly.
4. To prevent razor burn, make sure your razor isn't dull
and don't shave without any gel/conditioner/soap, make sure to always apply
something to shave on. If you do get razor burn, rubbing either deodorant (only
works on certain skin types) or Vaseline will help make it go away faster.
Also, after you're done shaving, splash the area with cold water to close the
pores.
5. To help get rid of dark knees fast, use body scrub in
the shower and wash them with a bit more force. When you get out of the shower,
apply Johnson's baby oil gel to damp skin. You can also mix your lotion with
the baby oil gel so that your kin isn't too greasy.
Beauty tips part 9:
1. Everybody wants to know how to get bigger boobs. You
kinda can't :( I know. Try massaging them a lot to get the blood flow running
there and also make sure to wear the correct bra size, it will prevent sagging.
Get measured at LaSenza. But I heard that pregnancy pills work to make your
boobs slightly bigger. To make them appear bigger, wear some bronzer on your
chest. That's all I can help you with. Sorry!
2. To bring out your eye color, wear makeup that compliments your eyes.
There is this wonderful eye shadow trio from Allmay. It offers a set of trios
for every eye color and the combination really brings out your eyes. They also
offer suggestions regarding the color or eyeliner and mascara that you should
wear dependent upon your eye color. Keep your eyes big and open too!
3. To get soft hair, give yourself a hot oil massage
treatment. Look up which oil(s) suits your hair type. Egg yolks are also a
precious remedy when it comes to soft hair. Mix two egg yolks with a cup of
water, to this mixture add a tablespoon of olive oil. Massage this mixture on
our hair and leave it on covered with a shower cap for 15 minutes. Rinse using
lukewarm water.
4. To get rid of frizzy hair, try to wash your hair as
less as you can, use a serum after you get out of the shower, avoid using hot
water when you shower (it can dry hair and cause frizz), try to use warm, or
better, cold water to wash your hair, use a moisturizing conditioner and
shampoo. Dryness is a major cause of frizz. Cut down on heat products. I know
it's hard, but look on the bright side- there's a lot of cute wavy hairstyles
you can experiment with! To add, I used to have pretty long hair,(it was below
my boobs, so that’s what I mean by long) but I straightened it every other day
(whenever I washed my hair) and it got really frizzy, dry and damaged. I had to
completely chop my hair off so that's it's barely shoulder length and it was
soft and silky, however, it was short so it was POOFY! So, I went to my
'best-friend' and straightened my hair again every other day, then soon enough
it was very damaged again. I got really annoyed with the dryness in my hair so
I stopped straightening it and it's so much better (after 4 weeks with the
occasional straightening), the frizz is not all gone (it can't all go away,
because it's 'dead' and you can't revive anything dead) but my hair is much
smoother and less dry. Yea, I know you didn't ask for my life story just beauty
tips, but I wanted to assure you guys that even though it's pretty, damaging
your hair, makes it look ugly in the long run after using styling product for
long.
5. Let's make this short! For a slimmer stomach, drink
plenty of water, have many fruits and veggies each day and try to sweat every
day, so do some kind of physical activity, run for example! If you want to stay
at home in the a-c, and you don't do sports, download the app Workout Trainer,
it's amazing! It has plenty of workouts for each body part and you also have
cross fit, cardio, yoga, stretching, running and rock-climbing to add!
Beauty tips part 10:
1. To obtain beachy waves, use or make a salt spray. Take
a spray bottle and fill it with water, then add a couple of teaspoons of sea
salt. The more sea salt, the more textured your results. Add Moroccan oil or
conditioner to help prevent the drying effects of the salt. Spray on damp
hair.. Just don't use every day, as the salt can dry out your hair.
2. To get rid of cold sore, cover them with a protective
petroleum based product. This will speed healing and help protect it from
secondary infection with bacteria. Reach for aspirin, acetaminophen, or
ibuprofen. Cold sores can be quite painful. Over-the- counter painkillers can
help. Avoid salty or acidic foods. Foods such as potato chips or citrus fruits
can further irritate cold sores and add to the pain. Protect your lips from the
sun. Applying sunscreen to your lips may help prevent sun-induced recurrences
of cold sores. Look for a sunscreen designed especially for the lips that has
an SPF of 15 or higher. Or, choose a lipstick/lipbalm that contains an SPF. 3.
Make a mixture out of beeswax, olive oil and your favorite perfume to make a
cream perfume that you can apply to neck, chest, wrists and even the tips of
your hair. 4. To smell good everywhere, apply a lotion or moisturizer with a
scent after you shower to your body. The warm water from your shower opens your
pores so the lotion can sink in better and stay for a longer time. Make sure
you're almost completely dry before you apply though.
5. To get softer lips, make sure to drink lots of water,
exfoliate your lips once a week with sugar or a tooth brush (read how to online
if you don't already know), don't use chapstick brand lip balm, never let your
lips go naked and apply Vaseline before bed. In a week or so, you will get
softer, more kissable lips.
Beauty tips part 11:
1. To get rid of dandruff, make sure to towel off the
excess water and let your hair dry naturally after a shower. Brush your roots
with a soft natural bristle brush. Firmly brush your hair from scalp outwards.
This will distribute the oil along the hair shaft keeping it shiny and healthy;
rather than remaining on the scalp where it is a good medium for the yeast to
multiply.
2. To get clear skin, take fish oil capsules twice daily
and take vitamins. In just a couple of days my skin got drastically clearer.
3. Instead of using bobby pins, use bun clips/pins, you
can get them anywhere. Bobby pins flatten your hair whereas these special pins
don't.
4. To clear your skin and to get softer hair, make sure
you eat a healthy balanced diet. I started to do that, and I feel good inside
and out! Cut your junk food consumption to one or two sweets a day, drink lots
of water and try whole wheat pasta, it's better for you and I think it tastes
even better than regular pasta. Eat buckwheat, it might not taste good at
first, but you get used to it and you'll start to like it. It's really good for
you, obviously! ;)
5. Instead of drinking cow milk (regular milk) ask your
parents to buy almond milk. It doesn't contain cow hormones (yes regular milk
does still have cow hormones even though it's pasteurized) which can cause you
to breakout. I find it to taste better than regular milk, it comes in vanilla
and chocolate. You can also make your own almond milk.
Beauty tips part 12: This one will be or how to help
prevent breakouts for trips on the plane because summer break is coming and
many of us are travelling somewhere.
1. Don't wear any makeup while on a flight. It can dry
your face up. Who cares what you look like on the plane?
2. Make sure to moisturize your skin with a face serum.
Since the air in the plane is very dry, it tries to find the tiniest bit of
water, and takes it from your face! Put on two coats of a good moisturizer and
you'll be good for the next 12 hours.
3. On top of your serum, apply sunscreen. On the plane
you are closest to the harmful UV rays even though you're not directly exposed
to them. Apply SPF minimum 15 to face and neck.
4. Moisturize your WHOLE skin before a flight, legs,
arms, back, everything. On the flight, you might also want to apply bring
moisturizers as hands and legs usually go dry instantly.
5. Forget lipsticks and lips glosses and go for a
moisturizing lip balm. In the air, your lips can get very dried and
cracked.
6. During the plane, make sure to keep hydrated and drink
plenty of water.
7. The night before your trip, try sleeping with a
humidifier to get moisture in your skin. 8. At night, when the lights go off,
you might want to relax and put on a sheet mask (the less messier ones) on.
Once you take it off, it feels like heaven and you just made a mini spa... in
the air! (Opt for moisturizing masks).
9. To relax, spritz some smelly mist (lavender for
example), close your eyes and breathe in the nice smell.
10. After the flight, don't put makeup on right away
since your face hasn't been washed in quite a while. To look fresher, just put
on some lip color, sunglasses and do your hair up.
11. Once you get at your hotel or home, exfoliate your
skin to take off all the gunk from the flight and take a nice long shower.
12. Don't forget, during the flight; try to keep your
hands away from your face because they are dirty.
Beauty tips part 13: To get rid of under eye circles do
the following:
1. This one is obvious; get your beauty sleep!
2. Make sure to eat healthy.
3. Slice thick cucumber slices and apply to closed eyes
for about 10-15 minutes daily. You can also do the same thing with cooled tea
bags (caffeinated) or ice cubes with a soft cloth wrapped around. Use for the
same amount of time you would cucumber slices.
4. Apply an eye cream containing vitamin K and retinol.
Dark circles may be caused by a deficiency of vitamin K.
5. Use an under-eye cream. Use a concealer that will
camouflage the dark under-eye circles. It's important to use a concealer that
matches your undertone (namely, yellow and peach (for bluish circles). After
applying the concealer, set it with a light dusting of translucent powder.
Beauty tips part 15:
To lighten freckles:
1. Apply lemon juice using a cotton ball.
2. You can do the same thing with onions, just they
smell.
3. Grate some cucumber and squeeze it into extract/juice
and apply to skin. Works best with 1 tbsp of honey and 1 tbs of lemon.
4. Increase your vitamin C intake.
5. Natural Parsley juice mixed with equal amount of lemon
and orange juice will help.
6. Apply papaya juice onto freckles with a cotton balls. Plus,
it helps clear blemishes. 7. Wash your face with sour milk.
8. Apply vitamin E onto freckles, it's the gentlest way.
It might take a little bit more time, but it won't dry your face.
Beauty tips part 16:
1. To get rid of stretch marks, scars, uneven skin tone,
ageing skin and overly damaged skin, apply cocoa butter formula with vitamin E.
2. To make eyelashes longer wash a mascara brush from an old bottle. Once clean,
apply baby powder to the brush. Put on lashes. Then put Vaseline on lashes with
the same brush (make sure it's washed). This method will take about 5 weeks.
3. Another way to make eyelashes longer, apply lip balm
on them before bed and in the morning. It will make them curlier and longer
over time. Try using a non-fragrance one and one that moisturizes very well.
4. Coconut oil is great for getting soft and smooth hair,
just apply a bean sized portion to your hair before bed and shampoo in the
morning.. Egg masks are also very moisturizing and a good conditioner.
5. For it is very easy to gain weight, however it is also
easy to lose it. Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate) and try to follow it
For a week calculate how much calories you consume and burn while doing
anything. Consuming 250 calories more each day, in about 2 weeks you will gain
a pound. Make sure to consume and burn only the calories you need. Try these
healthy alternatives that can help you lose some weight. Instead of having an
afternoon coke, drink a glass of water. (Calories saved: 97). Instead of eating
an Egg McMuffin, have a small whole wheat bagel with 1 Tbsp of peanut butter
(calories saved: 185). Instead of Using your break eating sweets, walk up and
down a flight of stairs for 10 minutes (calories burned: 100). Instead of
hitting the snooze button. wake up 10 minutes early and go for a brisk walk
(calories burned: 100). Instead of watching TV after school/work, do 10 minutes
of yoga (calories burned: 50). After a week with healthy alternatives, you will
be feeling better; inside and out!
Beauty tips part 17:
1. To kiss 'well' if you want, make sure your lips are
always soft (apply lip balm every day) and also lick your lips a tad before the
kiss. Dry lips don't move very well, but you still don't want to be a slobby
bulldog.
2. Do something with your hands, put them around his neck
or play with his hair. Don't just leave your arms limp by your side.
3. Don't go in with an open mouth, ready for the nastiest
kiss ever (unless you're with your partner for a long time or something of that
sort). Slowly lean in with closed/puckered lips and don't forget to tilt your
head! You don't want to be banging into each other with your noses!
4. This one is mostly for the ladies. If you really want
to kiss him and he isn't getting the memo, hint it. To hint that you want to
kiss him, look at him in the eyes, bite your lip and slowly look down to his
lips. Look back up into his eyes after about 3-5 seconds. This should make him
understand what you want.
5. As you all know, I'm in Serbia now and boy can I tell
you one thing; my skin is getting a lot better. My blemishes are going away and
my skin is so much smoother. The trick, don't wear any makeup. Seriously, I've
been walking around Serbia with no makeup, no concealer, foundation, mascara,
nothing for just a week and I feel and see a difference. I also started using
this cream called Narcis, try getting it. It's made about 50 years ago, but
it's so much better than all the new crap. You can use it everywhere: face,
chest, back etc. It moisturizes and diminishes the size and redness literally
over-night. I don't think you will be able to find it 100%, but if I could I'd
bring it to all of you guys. :D 6. Nothing's worse than being on your period on
a long ride and feeling icky and gross. Actually, nothing is worse than being
on your period. I started bringing baby wipes everywhere I go now. When I
change my pad, I wipe with the pre-moistened clothes and you feel 100 times
better. It's like a mini shower.
Beauty tips part 18 1/2:
1. To get rid of facial hair, you can try waxing,
threading or hair removals creams. I don't suggest the hair removal creams
because after a while, it becomes like shaving and you don't want to end up
like your dad... Don't forget bleaching is always an option, but if you have a
tanner skin tone, the golden like hairs will look awful.
2. If you can't brush your teeth after a meal, chewing
sugar-free gum can help prevent cavities. The chewing action triggers saliva flow
in the mouth. Saliva has the ability to neutralize acids produced by bacteria
in the mouth following a meal. While chewing gum isn’t recommended as an
alternative to a proper hygiene routine of brushing and flossing, it can be
beneficial when you're on the go.
3. For a safe, natural way to deflate eye puffiness, try
potatoes. The vegetable has a soothing effect on swollen skin tissues. Cut two
slices from a freshly washed and peeled raw potato. Lie down, placing the
slices on your eyes. Ten minutes later, remove the potato pieces and rinse the
eye area with lukewarm water.
4. Desperate for highlights, but can’t get to your hair
salon? Relax and turn the kettle on – literally. The cup of tea you’re brewing
will lighten your locks. Chamomile tea and fresh lemon juice is a permanent
hair lightener. Wash your hair and use chamomile tea mixed with lemon juice as
a rinse instead of conditioner. Then sit in the sun to let your hair dry. It
will give you natural highlights. It doesn’t fade and will stay until it grows
out.
5. Here are some tips for combatting oily skin and to
help get your shine in control. Wash your face with a mild cleanser and warm
water daily. Washing too often or too vigorously may actually make your acne
and oily skin worse. Exfoliate once or twice a week (depending on skin type)
with an exfoliant. To keep your skin less oily and clean from acne, wear as
little cosmetics as possible. Oil-free, water-based moisturizers and makeup
should be used. Choose products that are "non-comedogenic" (this will
help reduce the number of blackheads and whiteheads). Remove your cosmetics
every night with mild soap or a gentle cleanser and water. A flesh-tinted acne
lotion can safely hide blemishes. Loose powder in combination with an oil-free
foundation is also good for cover-up. Avoid: excessive makeup wear and
comedogenic/oil-based products. Look for: vitamin A or tretinoin prescription
products, which decrease oil production. Over- the-counter products to try:
salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and products containing glycolic acid.
Beauty tips part 19: These are for different cuts, styles
and tips for different face shapes.
~ For heart shaped faces, your pointy chin tends to be
the focal point of your face. Draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones
instead with side-swept bangs, brow-grazing fringe, a strong part and hair that
falls at or below your jawline. Short hair tends to look great on heart-shaped
faces, especially the pixie hairstyle. Keep top layers soft and long. Long
hair? Go for long layers that graze your cheek bones. Avoid: short, blunt-cut
bangs and harsh, choppy layers. Celebs that share your face shape: Katie
Holmes, Jennifer Lopez, Rachel Bilson, Reese Witherspoon, Ziyi Zhang
~ If you have a square face, consider yourself lucky.
Some of the most famous faces in the past and today have a strong, angular
jawlines and I read once a famous photographer claim that square faces
photograph the best. Women with strong angular features tend to age well. If
you have a square face, you may want to play down your strong, angular jaw.
Texture, in the form of curls or choppy ends, does this brilliantly. You can
also get away with short, spiky cuts and long, sleek styles with layers that
start at the jawline and continue downward. Avoid: one-length bob hairstyles
(especially chin-length) and blunt bangs. These will only highlight your
angular features rather than downplay them. Celebs who share your face shape:
Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie, Isabella Rossellini and Rosario
Dawson.
~ Round face tend to be soft with non-angular features
and full cheeks. You may find you have more of a round face when you carry
extra weight, but keep in mind many classic round-faced women are super thin
and still have non-angular features. Typically, if you have a round face, you
want to make your face appear longer and leaner and less round. To do this,
create less volume around the face. Try cuts that fall just below the chin like
the long bob hairstyle. Soft, graduated layers like the ones found in this
shoulder-length are a great bet because they make your face appear slimmer and
tend to remove bulk and weight from the sides. Consider wispy and tapered ends
like Rhianna's bob hairstyle. The wisps de-emphasize the roundness of your
face. Bang hairstyles are flattering, but keep them long or side-swept. Avoid:
one-length, blunt cuts such as the classic bob hairstyle if you have short
hair. Curly, short hair is also a no-no. Grow your curls out to shoulder-length
or beyond or flat iron them. Celebs that share your face shape: Fergie, Kate
Bosworth, Oprah Winfrey, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams,
Catherine Zeta-Jones.
~ If you have a diamond face if you are widest at your
cheekbones, and your jawline and forehead are the same length (but still
narrower than your cheeks). The hairstyles that look great on you look great on
square face shapes. ~ Styles that work best on long shaped faces: brow-skimming
bangs. Chin-length bobs are also ideal because they create the illusion of
width. Gwyneth Paltrow's long bob is very flattering on a long face. Just make
sure your stylist cuts the hair a bit shorter in the back so it doesn't look
boring. Curls and waves work well because they add width to the face. Be
careful with long hair: Hair that is too long like Megan Fox's can drag down
the face. Long layers work best with pieces hitting at the nose, the chin and
the collarbone. Consider a v-shaped style where the length is mainly in the
back, while the sides and front of your hair appear shorter. Also consider
adding wave or curls to the hair. Avoid: the extremes. Don't go longer than the
collarbone and avoid a skull-capping pixie cut, like these pixie hairstyles.
Celebs that share your face shape: Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashlee Simpson, Liv
Tyler, Giselle Bundchen. Must have products for long shaped faces: a great
volumizer.
~ And finally, the oval face shape. Stop for a second and
congratulate yourself. You've landed the most versatile face shape. You can
wear almost any hairstyle. Just be careful, with a bad haircut, your face can
start to look long. The oval face is the most versatile shape. You can pull off
almost any look: short or long, straight or wavy or even one of the funkier,
edgier hairstyles. To find your most flattering style, consider your best
feature and highlight it with your hair cut. If you have gorgeous bone structure,
consider an angular bob that shows off your chin. Great eyes? Blunt or
side-swept bangs are a great bet. Styles that are flattering and stylish:
sophisticated bobs, bangs, long, beachy waves (think California surfer girl).
Avoid: short layers that add height on top of your head. Aside from being
dated, short layers can make your face appear long. If your hair is thick or
curly, avoid a blunt cut. You'll look like a pyramid. If you have curly hair,
short hair is generally a no-no. Try shoulder-length or longer to weigh down
curls. Celebs that share your face shape: Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba and Jada
Pinkett Smith. Must-have product for an oval shaped face, a great curling iron
and a flat iron to create waves and straighten your sleek locks.
Beauty tips part 20:
1. After a meal, swish you mouth with water. This will
get all the junk out of your teeth until your enamel hardness again. Don’t
brush your teeth RIGHT after you eat, because your enamel is still soft and
brushing it can damage it. Wait about 30 minutes after eating before brushing
(if you are at home of course).
2. Instead of chewing gum, try mint leaves. Even if your
gum is sugar-free, it's still not the best way to clean your teeth and freshen
breath. Chewing natural peppermint, spearmint or any mint you like will help
you have fresh breath far longer than gum. Be sure not to leave any mint leaves
in your teeth though
3. Okay... there's no way to make your lips fuller
without botox and surgery, but there is a way to make them look bigger and fuller.
Take a natural colored lip liner -try to find one that doesn't stand out too
much. Draw it around your lips like your normally would and then put on a lip
gloss also with a light, natural color. (light brown, etc.) This will create
such a big change to your lips and face. I know that's not what you wanted, but
there isn’t any way to make them bigger naturally, like boobs. Personally, I
think that you're all beautiful no matter what size you’re whatever you want
larger is! 4. To treat razor bumps you need to stop shaving for a while to let
your skin heal. Oops, I forgot to mention that Aloe Vera and tea tree oil speed
up the healing process. To prevent them however is a different process. Make
sure to exfoliate your legs once a week. Try one that contains salicylic acid.
NEVER shave with just water. PLEASE. Always apply conditioner or shaving lotion
before. I got this razor that works so well, I've never experienced a closer
shave. Plus, it comes with a shaving soap around it so you just need to splash your
legs with water and wet the razor. It's an Intuition razor, you can get
different scents that help different things. Mine is a nourishing one that
smells like pomegranate, yum.
5. When sitting down, don't sit criss cross apple sauce.
Instead sit in the 'lady like' position, you know, one leg slightly bent and
the other one slightly bent on top of it. Sitting in the cross-legged way cuts
off your circulation and makes you get blue-green spider veins down your leg
when you get older.
Beauty tips part 21:
1. Truly green eyes are only found in 2 percent of the
population, so be happy of your rare eye color! To bring out green eyes, choose
at least two complementary eye-shadow colors. Purple and brown are two colors
that work well together and bring out green eyes. Match any additional color to
the two primary colors. Then, apply the lighter shade to the entire eyelid as a
base from the lashes to the brow. Apply the darker color to the crease just
above the eye. Blend the two colors using a soft makeup brush. Apply one shade
of eyeliner to the upper eyelid. Follow the form of the eye with the eyeliner
along the upper and lower lid. Keep the liner as close to the lashes as
possible. Choose dark-brown mascara with green eyes. Apply the mascara wand to
the upper and lower lashes. Use a lash brush to remove any excess mascara and
separate lashes. Choose an outfit with dark brown, purple or red accents. Wear
clothing that coordinates with the colors of your makeup. Wear clothes you feel
comfortable in and exude a bright confidence to match your bright green eyes!
2. To bring out hazel eyes, make sure to stay away from
blue in eye shadows and your wardrobe. Pick neutral tones of eye shadow, such
as, browns and deep greens. Purples, pinks and rose colors are also good
choices for hazel eyes. Steer clear of colors that are too vibrant. Try a red
lipstick, which can make hazel eyes sparkle. Try a red lip gloss for a sheerer
look. Since its summer, maybe you could experiment with some red highlights in
your hair. Wear purple clothes and think about adding some golds, browns, tans
and any shade of green. 3. To bring out brown eyes is not difficult at all! The
easiest way to bring brown eyes is to lighten your hair. If you have brown
eyes, you may want to consider highlights, or heck, going completely blond! The
contrast is very striking. Just make sure that you lighten your eyebrows
(professionally of course) so that you don't end up with a fake look. This
approach also works best on people with a light skin tone. The color you choose
to wear can also bring out brown eyes. The colors that bring out brown eyes the
best are light colors that complement the color of your eyes, such as yellows,
golds and beige's. The makeup you wear makes a big difference. Shades that are
known for bringing out brown eyes are purples and greens. However, you can
bring out your brown eyes with just about any color--as long as it's light!
People with darker skin tones can have great success by applying eye shadow
that is bright, as well. Don't be afraid to try an exciting shade like hot
pink! Eyes of any color can be brought out more by curling your eyelashes to
open up the eye, and then applying mascara and eyeliner. If you want your eyes
to be brought out, apply the eyeliner on the outside of your eye ONLY, and
don't go all the way around.
4. To bring out blue eyes, wear eye makeup that brings
out blue eyes. Eye shadow in shades of orange, such as peach, coral and copper
all complement your eye color and make the blue shade stand out more. Wear colors
that coordinate with your hair, makeup and clothes. For example; if you have
brown hair, wear an orange-brown copper eye shadow with a brown shirt. Because
the colors you're wearing match, this makes your eyes, which contrast, stand
out. Apply a thin layer of liquid eye liner along the top of your eyelid.
Smudge the line slightly with your fingertip. This technique helps accentuate
your eyes, which makes the color stand out.
5. Getting away from the eyes category, I'll tell you
guys a quick oral hygiene tip. Always gargle water, after brushing your teeth
and after meals. It cleans the back of your tongue and helps eliminate bad
breath.
Beauty tips part 22:
1. Don't let nails go. Not into manicures and pedicures?
No worries. Just make sure to keep nails clean and the same length. If you do
want to paint them, don't keep the polish on until half of it's chipped away.
Also, there's nothing worse than too-long toenails. Keep nails clipped between
pedicures too. People tend to judge others by the care they put into their
hands and feet. 2. Shave legs at the end of the shower. Cut down on nicks and
cuts by making shaving the very last step in your shower or bathing ritual.
3. What feature do people comment on most? Play it up..
If you're told you have Angelina Jolie lips, make sure to wear gloss and play
with bold lipstick colors. If it's your eye color people love, find eye shadow colors
that complement them and make sure to wear mascara. Also, know what color
shirts look best on you and go shopping. 4. 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, eye shadow, lip liner and gloss on an everyday basis, then you're
overdoing it. Tone it down: All you really need is great mascara, concealer for
blemishes and gloss. If you want, add a pop of blush in winter.
5. Remember: Beauty is mostly internal. Think about a
girl you know who's overweight yet all the guys love her. Why? Because she's
confident. If you aren't wearing makeup and your toes haven't been repainted in
weeks, if you're happy and smiling you will still be 10 times prettier than the
mopey cheerleader sitting next to you in class.
Beauty tips part 23:
1. Shave your pits
from down to up. It's the same thing as your legs - you're shaving the hairs
from the opposite direction of their growth and therefore you'll get a much
closer shave.
2. Skip the foundation. If you have acne the first thing
you want to do is slather on the thick foundation. Don't. 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 moisturizer. Tinted moisturizers tend to be lighter than heavy
foundations.
3. 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 eye shadow. Don't heavily line your eyes.
Play up both and you'll look like a clown.
4. 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, and then use a toothbrush to massage lips. Wipe
the excess off on a tissue. Your lips will be smooth and soft.
5. Never ever skip sunscreen. 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.
