1. Lipliner isn't evil. (Especially these best ones.) I always kept away, because hey, "Drag queens give it a bad rap," agrees makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury. But done right, it's the best way to make my lips more symmetrical... which we ALL need if we're wearing red.
2. Curled your hair with an iron, but it turned out, ohhhh, a little Shirley Temple-esque? Pin it in a bun and set for 15 minutes. Hello, soft waves. -- Rodney Cutler, hairstylist and owner of Cutler Salon
3. So tired of the same ole black nail polish? Dilute it with a thin clear topcoat like CND Stickey for a totally new sheer gunmetal gray color. --Wanda Ruiz, nail salon owner
4. After flat ironing, tame annoying flyways: Spritz on shine serum and, clamping your flat iron closed, run the side edge of it over your top of hair. -- Paul Hanlon, hairstylist
5. I'm now layering my favorite mascaras for multiple effects. Put a volumizing formula on first to fatten up lashes and finish with a coat of lengthening mascara, which has a shinier finish and adds extra length. -- Charlotte Willer, makeup artist
Still don't have a favorite mascara? Consult this list.
Do you have tips to share? I'm all ears!

Report AbuseFor the hair srum it is important to know a little more about the brand. Some are made more for African hair, they contain more oils. Some are made for fine hair, less oils more silicone. Some are in the middle. There are literally tons and tons of products for the same thing. So not each will work for each person. My hair is shoulder length, a few layers, blonde, and med-fine. So i use a cream instead of straight gloss. It gives enough moister and shine but is not heavy and oily.. I get mine from Sally Beauty Supply and costs under six bucks. Lasts forever and smells light and pretty. Aquelle is the product line.
And for lips, I still have issues where I live seeing LIpliner Gone Wrong. So I hesitate to put it on .
