Am gasit ceva interesant, sper ca am pus bine aici:
A-Z of Secret Beauty Tips
Art: Treat each day as a new work of art. Feel the mood then make yourself look how you feel.
B
Baby Powder: My makeup secret is a light coating of baby powder on the face each day; everyone comments on how beautiful my skin is.
Balance: My makeup secret is simple. Positive thinking; regular exercise; a healthy diet, lots of sleep, and all things in moderation...including makeup.
Bare: Don't cover up healthy looking skin...
Baths: I love having long moisturising baths - they keep me feeling young and sexy.
Believe: Believe you’re beautiful before you put makeup on; then when you’re done you look amazing.
Bio-Oil: I have dry skin and it works wonders; especially when I don't want to wear make up.
Blush:
- I squeeze my cheeks to achieve a blushed look and purse my lips together to get rosy coloured lips - instant makeup for unprepared photo situations!
- I use some darker blush at the bottom of my cheek bone – it’s very slimming on the face; not many people do it though!
- Using a cream blush on cheeks - its stays on longer than powder and can be used on eyes and lips. Perfect.
Bronzer balls: They give my face a special glow and tan without being too thick and heavy on the skin. They can turn a pasty white complexion into a really flawless glowing face.
Bronzer: I use a bronzing powder instead of blusher - it gives a great glow!
C
Candle light: apply make up by candle light for a really sexy look.
Cheap: Avoid cheap take offs; they can be dangerous.
Cleansing:
- ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure you wash you're face before you go to bed! Helps to reduce blemishes and wrinkles!
- Always have a clean; oil free canvas to work on! You get better results; make up stays on longer and you glow!
- I have oily skin and the best is just a gentle soap and water - I never break out.
- I use a warm wet facewasher to relax and remove makeup from skin at night; and a cold washer to refresh my skin in the morning
- Use baby wipes to remove make up. They are inexpensive and do the same job as other brands; plus they leave your face super smooth.
Coconut Oil: Buy it by the jar and massage it into your face every morning for really glowing and nourished skin!
Colour: I use lots of colour in my makeup. Keeps me feeling alive and happy.
Concealer:
- I always put my concealer on after my make-up otherwise I just wipe it off.
- I use Nutrimetics green to conceal my red cheeks and cover my freckles.
- Use liquid concealer mixed with eye gel; it conceals black marks and all facial blemishes brilliantly.
Courage: Make a conscious effort not to get stuck in the "too scared" basket. Try new looks and new products regularly
D
Definintion: I use a nice brown powder as an eyesadow; as a rouge and to define my jawline. Using the same colour on all three gives me a more natural look.
Ditch it: Dispose of old makeup and renew products regularly. It keeps you looking and feeling fresh.
Don’t: I keep away from ironing
Don’t: Never put makeup on if you are hot and sweaty. Cool your face down first with tepid water and a fan or airconditioning.
E
Essentials: I always carry lipgloss; mascara and a foundation with sunscreen in my handbag to look fresh and lovely 24/7, no matter what I'm doing.
Exfoliate:
- I exfoliate my skin before putting on foundation - that way my skin always looks smooth and the foundation goes on evenly!
- I mix sugar into my cleanser as an emergency exfoliator.
Eyes:
- A used teabag on tired eyes will reduce puffiness and help them sparkle.
- dark circles under eyes - a little yellow concealer followed by natural concealer - works like a charm!
- Dramatic eyes; subtle everything else; really makes people stop and take notice of gorgeous eyes.
- For clear eyes after a heavy night I use Refresh drops to get rid of that bleary eyed look
- I always use eye drops that whiten my eyes so that my eyes look alive and healthy and sparkle.
- I have dark circles so I take Himalayan Goji juice.
- I use Vaseline every night as an eye cream - it makes even deep lines disappear!
- Lightly brush powder over eye area before applying eye makeup - eyeshadow lasts longer; lashes appear fuller!
- Preparation H around the crows feet before foundation. Gives an instant eye lift!
- Put a LITTLE eyecream on after finishing your foundation/powder this ensures crows feet aren't seen as they are no longer covered in foundation/powder.
- Take off eye makeup with baby oil
- Use almond oil extract as an eye makeup remover.
Eyebrows:
- For those who hate the pain of plucking your eyebrows use bonjella to numb them - it does wonders - no pain!
- I always use my eyebrow pencil to enhance my face by defining my eyes.
- I use my mascara to highlight my eyebrows. I apply it gently so it doesn't smudge onto the skin. It's great for pale eyebrows.
- I using a little hair gel to sculpt my eyebrows. It makes such a big difference!
- Use gloss on your eyebrows the will look great and shiny
- Use old mascara wands to brush and add a slight colour to eyebrows; they come up great and look very natural.
Eyelashes: Curl lashes straight after your shower
- I always heat my eyelash curler so that when it kinks my lashes they end up looking longer! Shhhh!
- I get my eyelashes tinted; as this is time saving; leaves no smudges and looks great for weeks.
- I use liquid eyeliner to replace mascara; because it defines my lashes that bit more; without the obvious makeup look of mascara!
- I wear powder over my lashes, then apply mascara. My eyelashes look thicker this way.
- I'm addicted to my eyelash curler - I'm always told how lovely my eyelashes are.
- Rub your fingertips together (or heat them with your hairdryer) and place them against your eyelashes for an instant curl.
- Spray hair lacquer on your index finger and stroking your eyelashes up into a curling position; before applying mascara. They stay curled all day.
Eyeliner:
- After you put eyeliner on; wet a cotton bud and slightly smudge it; so you don't get such a harsh line.
- Turquoise eyeliner on the inside of the bottom lid suits ginger hair and green-grey eyes.
- A fine line of liquid eyeliner - guarantees eye contact.
- White eyeliner does wonders for tired eyes around the inside and on the top of your eye just above the lashes.
- For drama - apply one line of blue eyeliner and then a line of black eyeliner so the blue just shows around the black.
Eyeshadow:
- If you dab a little silver/white eyeshadow in the corner of your eyes it automatically opens them up and they appear bigger!
- A pale eye shadow will make your eyes look bigger.
- Add a shimmer cream or white eyeshadow right below your eyebrow; this helps the eyes to stand out and look gorgeous.
- Ask your two-year-old to smudge your eye-shadow. Usually; they end up doing a better; more even job ... go figure.
- For perfect smoky eye makeup; dampen your brush and carefully outline your eyes (up and down) with black powder eye shadow.
- I put green eye shadow in the inner corner of my eye to bring more depth to my eyes.
- I use cream shadows - the powder ones cake and cling to wrinkles.
- My makeup secret is to match the eye shadow with what you're wearing and don't put too much on!
- Put lip gloss (or Vaseline) on your eyelids before applying eye shadow; the effect is glittery glamorous and makeup stays on!
- To make eyeshadow stay on longer, add a bit of water (works well with loose powder eyeshadow).
Fake Tan: Apply an oil free moisturiser before a fake tan for a better tan application and a longer lasting tan.
False Nails: I use Super glue to hold my false finger nails on.
Foundation:
-Always wet your fingers before applying liquid makeup as it go on smoother.
Foundation:
- Don't rub make-up or foundation onto skin as it rubs off again; press firmly to ensure it sinks into the skin for longer lasting coverage.
- Get an opinion from at least two people when choosing foundation colour; you will always think you are a little darker than you actually are.
- I keep my foundation in the fridge to keep it cool; it also goes on smoother.
- I mix my foundation and moisturiser together before I put it on; you use less foundation and moisturise at the same time.
- I use a brush to apply foundation; there are no fingermarks or picking up oil on my hands.
-In summer; before applying any makeup; I dab Witch Hazel all over my face. Closes the pores and applied makeup seems to last all day.
- It is always best to apply the foundation last as to avoid smudging the eyeshadow or eyeliner.
- Never put too much foundation on as it makes the face look unnatural.
Freckles:
A product I've recently discovered - Skin Success by Palmers - helps fade freckles and skin imperfections. It works!
- I use lemon juice to lighten my freckles. It does take time; but it does work!
Free: Your skin benefits from make up free days once in a while.
Fridge: During summer I keep eyeliners and lipsticks in the fridge - cool to put on and firm for ease of application.
Friends: Listen to your best friend’s advice.
G
Glow: Most people assume my glowing skin is from me being pregnant at the moment but it’s from using "Hollywood Glow" so its my little secret.
H
Hair:
- A light spray of Mr Sheen is a quick shine enhancer for dull hair.
- Spray hairspray on a tissue then wipe down on straight hair to flatten out stray wispy bits.
Happiness: keeping active; a little sun and a bit of lovin’.
Hide: I put all my "best" make up in a secret place and leave the other stuff in the bathroom for my three daughters to use!
Highlight: Highlight, rather than smother, your best features.
J
Jojoba oil: My makeup secret is using jojoba and raspberry oil on my face before using any makeup to have a more healthy look.
K
KISS: Keep everything understated and simple - except for your mind and brain!
L
Lips:
- Apply some dark powder to the ridged crest above your lips, and a dab of light powder to the dimple below them will always help to make your pout appear fuller! Kissable lips; yum; yum!
- 'Blistex Lip Tone' gives me the most natural, sexiest light pink lips ever; makes my whole face looks alive and healthy.
- My make up secret is mixing a little bit of lippie with some shiny lip gloss to make a tinted lip colour.
- Rub lime on your lips; let them dry for a couple of minutes; then put lip gloss on followed by lipstick.
- Use lipliner over the whole lip and at least when the lipstick wears off there will still be colour
- When I brush my teeth at night I also gently brush my lips; I wake up with smooth plump lips and my lipstick stays on longer!
Lipstick:
- Apply lip liner, put on your lipstick; "kiss" a tissue; dust with loose powder; reapply lipstick. It will last for hours.
-I blend all different lipsticks together sometimes to get the right shade.
- Lipstick with some blue tones (such as a berry shade) will make teeth look whiter.
- To always look fresh - I like to ensure that I regularly apply lipstick
- To stop lipstick from bleeding; apply foundation over the lips first.
- When you think your lipstick has run out you'll be very surprised - use a cotton wool bud to get the rest!
Live: My secret is live the life that YOU want to live; then your eyes will always shine with joy!
Look: I change my makeup style frequently so that I always have a new look; especially between winter and summer.
M
Makeup removal:
- Use the blue Nivea container for easy make up removal; even the toughest make up comes off.
- Vaseline removes eye makeup and helps protect the delicate skin around the eyes.
Mascara:
- Apply mascara with an outwards brushstroke - gives your eyes a cheeky pixie look like Audrey Hepburn.
- I always keep a bottle of any type of cream handy when I put on my mascara, because I always make mistakes that I - I love to apply mascara only to the top lashes to achieve a smoky sensual look
- If your mascara is forever running or flaking off, use a layer of clear mascara on top; works like a charm!
- Put mascara in warm water so it's easier to apply; and won't flake.
- Rub Vaseline on your eyelashes when you cannot find a fabulous mascara.
- The mascara is empty? Add a drip of olive oil. Give it a shake and it will last even longer !
- To add extra volume to your lashes; apply powder before and after your first application of mascara; then reapply mascara for great lashes
- To get mascara to the root of the lashes; place finger on eyebrow and pull up. The closer to the eyelash root the longer the lashes will look.
- To highlight my green eyes I wear green mascara
- When putting on mascara, start from the bottom of the eyelash and zigzag with the brush all the way up to the top - makes the eye lashes longer and fuller.
Masks:
- A great facial mask: 1tsp of sour cream mix with 1yolk every third day and you are going to look fabulous!
- Egg Whites; put them on your face and leave to dry; then wash off. It’s a natural pore tightener, and removes dead skin cells too.
- I keep my face mask in the fridge
- Treat oneself to a facial mask once a week. Tuesday is best after a big weekend. A gentle clay mask is great for clearing pores.
- Use honey as a mask. It’s a natural and gets into the bloodstream and really works on impurities and your face feels great afterwards.

Natural: Use only natural products with no synthetic ingredients.
New: Don't be afraid to try something new.
Nose:

- Run dark brown eye shadow in two straight lines down the side of the nose to make it look thinner.
O
Oil control:
- I only wear powder makeup in summer. Nothing oily at all.
- The most essential make up secret is to have an oil controlling mattifier. Never have a shiny face again!
Olive oil: I always apply makeup over a base of olive oil mixed with pure orange oil – it absolutely glows.
P
Pale: Dark eyes with thick black eyeliner and berry lipstick; being pale this brings out my eyes
Pimples:
- Cover any pimples or acne prone skin with Clearasil tinted blemish cream, then put foundation over the top.
- Eyedrops on red pimples. It really works to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling and colour!
- I have acne so for my skin I use the infant zinc cream they use for nappy rash, and it heals my skin overnight. I swear by it.
- I never have a spot concealer so I use green eyeshadow instead and it works a charm.
- I put toothpaste on my pimples before I go to bed to dry them out overnight (don’t use whitening toothpaste!). - On those dreaded occasions a pimple rears its ugly head; dab a little bit of tea tree oil on the spot – it disappears immediately!
- Put an ice cube on new pimples for at least a minute and then put on makeup. It stops them from getting bigger.
- Turn a pimple into a sexy beauty spot with your kohl pencil. Marilyn Monroe was onto something!
Plump: I’d have to say that being slightly plump but comfortable with that; has led to having significantly less wrinkles.
Powder: If your loose powder is too dark add some baby powder to lighten it up a bit.
Primer: I apply thick aloe vera gel first. Then make-up doesn't absorb into my skin. It stays fresh all day and washes off easily later!
Primer:
- I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter as a base to foundation - wait for it to soak in for 5 mins. Flawless application to face the day with confidence!
- Olay Regenerist Serum makes a fantastic makeup primer; and at around $30 it’s a competitive price to some of the pricier alternatives!

- To set your makeup and for an instant glow spray a quick application of ModelCo Tan Airbrush in a Can over your made up face to keep makeup in place all day

Sex: Have lots of sex!
Shimmer:
- For those big nights...shimmer; shimmer; shimmer
- I combine a shimmer powder with my matte face powder so my skin always looks glowing; radiant and healthy.
- I use a shimmer stick on my face and body for a natural fresh glow.
- Mix foundation with shimmer cream for a light reflecting; sheer day look.
Smile: I don't have any wonderful tricks so I just try and smile a lot.
Sorbolene:
- Its fantastic for moisturising; as a makeup remover and for those dry winter legs!

- I've been using sorbolene since I was 14; my gran used all her life and she never aged - she had beautiful skin; and so do I!
- Mix a little essential oil with sorbolene cream to create an expensive smelling body lotion.
- Put sorbolene in your hair overnight every few weeks – you’ll never have another split end.
- To get frizzless hair try smoothing some sorbelene through your hair.
Spritz:
- I use floral water with lavender and bergamot to freshen my skin after the days work
- Spritz with rosewater throughout the day to keep skin looking fresh.
Subtle: Less is more. Never use anything too drastic that goes against your natural tones.
Sunscreen: always apply sunscreen before foundation no matter what the season or weather; keeps you looking younger longer
Sweat: Play lots of sport; drink lots of water and don't be afraid to get a little sweaty to clean out your pores.
T
Tattoos: Don't ever get makeup tattooed on like my grandma. She's 78 and it looks terrible.
Time: Look glamorous every day by actually taking time to apply your makeup evenly and make it look natural.
V
Vaseline:
- Mixed with eyeshadow or blush it creates a new palette of lip colours
- Put Vaseline on your eyelids as an eyeshadow. You can even put it on top of colour but plain looks better.
Vitamin E: I pierce vitamin e capsules with a pin and squeeze the natural vitamin e onto my hands and massage into my face. It makes my skin glow.
W
Water: I'm a big believer in the cleansing power of drinking 8 glasses of water a day.
Wrinkles:
- Lightly dab advocado oil on wrinkles after applying make-up to make skin appear a bit younger.
- To hide wrinkles draw with a light pencil down the crease. It hides them perfectly - then apply makeup as normal!
Y
Yoghurt: I eat kots of Jalna yoghurt. Beauty comes from within.
You: Make it about YOU - don't go with the mainstream.
