Easy Beauty Tips
user
I know I'm in a hurry to go run
errands, visit friends, buy tampons, etc. most of the time. Most of
you are too, I bet! Here are some easy tips that can save you a few
bucks or minutes.
1. To take off eye makeup (especially mascara that has run
underneath the eyes- ick!), put basic body lotion on a Q-Tip
and rub around eyes. It comes off like that! I usually use
Nivea which you can get at any drugstore.
2. Before brushing your hair, spritz a little body spray on the
hairbrush, then run through your strands. It holds the fragrance
and gets you lots of compliments!
3. A messy bun is always cute. My tip is to just
pile hair up and make that your "base", then make it more
sturdy (and cute!) by adding bobby pins, hairspray, and more rubber
hair bands.
4. To instantly brighten your eyes, add concealer beneath and
above your eyes. It hides veins and discoloration, making you
look more awake. Many people skip this step, which makes them look
even more tired.
5. Confidence and a big smile are key. Sometimes that's all it
takes to look your best!

fantastic? Please Share! xxoo

I always add a little extra concealer and drag it from my bottom eye lids all the way over to the top of my cheek bones. It lightens your whole face!

cotton pads dipped in coffee at night shrink blood vessels and force your bags away by morning.
if you're having a 'baggy eye day', leave out the mascara on your bottom eye hairs to avoid smudges.
sometimes you look pale when haven't slept much, try some blush on your cheeks.
Toner always helps but put a dab of concealer and powder on the tip of your nose to hide shine.
I have more, but I'm too lazy.

Before putting on eye makeup put a couple drops of Visine into your eyes. When you finish your eyes they will look very bright and stand out even more, also helps you look more awake.

Also a tiny dab of Vaseline on your cheekbones works as a great highlighter and gives you a dewy look. Do a very small amount though because of its thickness.

if wearing lipstick, add a little gloss in the middle of the lower lip to make your bottom lip look more full.
I am not sure about the body lotion under the eyes to get rid of underye makeup smudes. Seems a little strong and my luck I would just get in my eyes. I go for regular eye makeup remover that is rich in emollients and safe around the eye. A little olive oil works too and so rich in nutrients.

Carol B- I agree, the lotion is a little strong, but it works well! Of course, eye makeup remover is best.
Jamillion- I'm glad I could help! You just made my day :)
