I just came back from school after mugging in the comfortable air conditioned class room with Manisa and Jonathan. Will continue to study at 8 after i finish my damn art !
Anw, I decided to share with you guys 10 beauty tips i have always been sticking to.
1)Less is more
Girls tend to put alot of makeup .Guess what? Your make up makes you look worse.
Ever realising girls looking prettier than you when they look natural. 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.
2)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. You can get this at Watsons or Guardian. However if you think its abit too expensive , you can try Nivea lip balm.
3)Spend money on key beauty products
Not sure what to splurge on and what to save on? Stay tune for my next beauty post.
Well well ,i'll list you some examples. Splurge on Eyeshadow palettes NOT eyeliner.
Invest on different bottles of MAC Paint/Primer. It will keep your eye makeup for days. Look not for hours, but for days!
4)Sunscreen ?
When should 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. I use Biore spf 50.Get a bottle at your local drugstore for only 10 bucks. If you do not like an oily base sunscreen. Try neutrogena.
5) 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. I dont do this everyday but before a show or photoshoot. Do note. Make sure there is no severe wound on your legs. Prevent these wounds when you are shaving. You dont want to scratch the wound with your shaver. Ouch.
6)You pat concealer in, you never rub it in
Tyra Banks show: 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.
And please! Before putting makeup, please at least apply moisturizer .
7)Test your make up before purchasing.
Test it first There are some beauty products you simply must try out at a department store or Sephora before you buy. These include: Foundation, lipstick, blush and powder. Find the right shade .
8) 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. Revlon and Bourjois has always been my favourite brand
9)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! People tend to judge others by the care they put into their hands and feet. Cut,Buffer,Cuticle oil and hand nail cream works best.
Last but not least AND most importantly.
10)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. Dont be fake. I hate fake people
Im done! Hope this helps! Stay tune for my next beauty or fashion update.
Which will be after my exams. HAHAHAHA
