5 Makeup Tips you need to know

Lash Curling Secret
Pinching at the base of your lashes with the lash curler, and then lifting the curler up into an inverted position. This creates double the curl and lasts much longer!

Use a baby toothbrush to exfoliate your lips. You can make a homemade lip exfoliate with sugar and coconut oil, or easier but less effective, cover your lips in lip balm before scrubbing.
5 The Line Savior
I guess, like me, you always check your eye makeup to see if the eyeliner is in its original place. To keep your liner behaving, sweep loose or pressed powder right under the eye liner on your bottom lid. It creates a barrier, preventing your eyeliner from go down.

5 tricks to have gorgeous eyebrows
Every girl in the world wants to have her “eyebrows on fleek”. Brow dedication is worth it, sculpting your eyebrows can change your face without makeup. And who doesn’t want a lighter makeup bag and fewer steps in the morning or before a date? So where do you start for pretty, full brows that look natural? With these easy steps:
1. Get a (professional) brow shaping. To get perfect brows, you’ll always have to get rid of the extraneous hairs. You need an amazing shape as a foundation and keeping them up on your own is easier. 2. Keep them up. Once you have a professional shape, you can maintain your brows by tweezing, too. You should take only the extraneous hairs from the top, bottom, and side. Do not touch the middle!

3. Consider tinting. While it’s not a totally natural option, tinting is one way to embolden your brows without having to apply product every day. Just be picky about who does your tint, they’re wielding ammonia products near your eyes, so you want someone with surgeon-like precision.
4. Fill them in. Here’s the secret of all the great brows you’re double tapping on Instagram: they’re being filled so they look bolder. Starting with slathering a primer over your brows, and then fill them in with a brow pencil or a brow powder. Once you’re finished filling, dust a translucent powder all over, and you’ll have perfect brows that can last even through your sweatiest dance cardio class. 5. Give your brows an inside-out boost. Once your brows are sculpted and filled, you can actually sip juice to keep them looking great. Cucumber juice is good for improving the quality of your hair, kiwi juice to promote growth, and strawberry juice for hair strength. So pull out your blender in the name of brow beauty.

Beauty tricks FOR
LADIES WHO WEAR GLASSES If you wear glasses there are some different rules that apply for the eyes makeup, different from the ones for ladies who doesn’t. Here are a few tricks that will help you become a chic lady with glasses: • Using a concealer is very important because the glasses accentuate the area below your eyes. You should use a concealer a little lighter than your skin tone. Apply it after you applied your foundation. • Pay attention to your eyebrows. When wearing glasses your eyes are not the focus of attention, your eyebrows are. This means they need to look impeccable. Be sure to clip them perfectly and accentuate them with a light and soft eyebrow pencil. • For the eyeshadows use colors that have a magnifying effect. The glasses will make your eyes look smaller than they really are, so it is important to make them look bigger. To obtain this effect you should apply darker colors in the external corner of the eye and right below the eyebrows use a shadow with satin particles for a brighter look. What you shouldn’t do is use eyeliner on the lower eyelid. • The focus is on the eyes makeup so for the cheeks and lips you should use warm and neutral colors.

Did you know?
Expiration date for
BEAUTY PRODUCTS You have to be honest asking yourself if you consistently added to your makeup collection for years? Or if have you built a nail polish stash to include every color and shade and the worst is you hardly use most of the colors? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, it’s time for a change. All the makeup you’ve had saving for years can actually ruin your skin. In this article we will show you how long you should be keeping all the beauty products you own. 2 TO 3 MONTHS
6 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR
1 TO 1.5 YEARS
2 YEARS
3 YEARS
8
You’ll know your lipstick is no longer working when it starts feeling dry as opposed to Lip Gloss which will become extra sticky but usually the first should last of 2 years and the latter 1 year.
Perfumes
are probably the beauty product which will last longer about 8 to 10 years. You’ll know it once the smell has faded or has totally changed.

Beauty Mistakes you need to stop doing!! Not cleaning your makeup brushes: We've all been guilty of this from time to time.
Wearing waterproof mascara every day: It's very drying on the lashes.
Matching foundation to the back of your hand: Try it on your jawline for a perfect match.
Skipping base coat: This is why your manicures never last more than a few days.
Using the wrong blush formula: If your blush looks unnatural, reconsider switching from cream to powder (or vice versa).
Keeping makeup for too long: Makeup expires in anything from a few months to less than two years.
Applying makeup in the wrong lighting: Always aim to put your face on a well-lit room.
Adding nail polish remover to thin out older lacquers: The chemicals in remover break down polish. Curling your lashes with mascara on: The curler can stick to your gunky lashes and yank them out
Pumping your brush in an almost empty mascara tube: you're pumping air into the tube, which dries out the formula.
