94. “In order to keep eyeliner from running and smearing, opt for liner formulas that offer stayproof wearability.”- Robin Schoen, Urban Decay Makeup Artist
93. Always allow about two fingers from your nose to where blush starts.
92. “Make sure you hydrate the skin and put on a primer”- Jessie Powers, makeup artist and national educator for Make Up For Ever
91. “Balance out your shimmer. If youre doing a shimmery eye, do matte lips”- Raychel Wade, founder of Cheek to Chic and La Prairie’s colour ambassador
90. Brush out your curls with your fingers to give your hair a more tousled look.
89. To make your manicure last, apply a thin layer of clear every two days.
88. Wear white eyeliner to make eyes appear less red.
87. “Take a shimmery gloss to the center of your lips, top and bottom – this will attract light to your lips, making them look pouty.”-Katrina Barrion, makeup artist for Giella Custom Blend Cosmetics
86. For slicked back hair, use a serum.
85. For the perfect cat-eye, “select a thin liner brush that is tapered to the point”- Pamela Taylor, makeup artist
84. To make your cheek bones appear higher, use bronzer under the cheekbone and highlighter on the actual cheekbone.
83. Before you blow dry, start with a volumizing spray or light gel to give the roots some lift.
82. For fuller lips, extend the lip line using a flesh tone lip liner. Be careful not to go overboard!
81. The #1 reason for flaky mascara is that the formula is too dry or old. Make sure to close mascara after use to help keep its moisture.
80. To fake clear skin when you notice a pimple, “Apply tea tree oil as soon as you spot it”- Stephanie Flor, makeup artist
79. During summer, “Its easy to forget that feet can get sunburned. Be sure to apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 50 when barefoot”- Dr. Leslie Campbell, DPM
78. For clear skin, look for a cleanser with salycilic acid.
77. When choosing a red lipstick, you just want to remember to get one that looks good with your undertone. If you have a warm undertone, then go for warmer reds, and if you have a cool undertone, then go cooler.

76. Sunscreens that claim to provide “all-day protection” and “water resistance” are not reliable; don’t be fooled by these claims and reapply all sunscreens at least every two to three hours.
75. When self-tanning, use a tanner with a guide color. “It will give you instant color before the effect and it will show you exactly where you put the color and where you may have missed”- Sinead Norenius, founder of Beautisol
74. “If you’re afraid of red lipstick, I love putting it on and then blotting it off to wear it as more of a stain”- Pat McGrath, makeup artist
73. For the summer months, you don’t want to be caked down in foundation so try a tinted moisturizer instead.
72. Use blotting papers to manage oil and shine in your T-Zone “which are also great for cleaning up around the eyes”- Rebecca Restrepo, makeup artist
71. The antihistamines in allergy medicine dry out the skin, so skip heavy foundation during allergy season. Instead, use a tinted moisturizer.
70. To make curls last, make sure hair is completely dry before you begin with the curling iron.
69. To make a zit go away faster, don’t pick at it. The bacteria on your fingeres will create more redness.
68. Use an exfoliater to get rid of dead skin but limit yourself to 2-3 times a week so you don’t dry out your skin.
67. Always wash your makeup off before bed. “That morning-after look has never been a good one, for anyone”- Rachel Adler, beauty director Beautyhigh.com
66. “Too much bronzer is a nightmare for pale skin”- Jason Ascher, resident beauty expert for Barneys New York. Opt for an illuminating cream or light powder to get a glow.
65. Pick a sulfate-free shampoo, as sulfates can be harsh and drying on the hair cuticle.
64. If you have greasy hair, avoid directly conditioning roots and condition from your ear down to ends.
63.”When you wear a red lip it’s important that it stays exactly where you put it. Using a long wearing lip pencil to create the perfect shape and a lip color are key to having a perfect red lip.”-Kristofer Buckle, celebrity makeup artist
62. To make volume last all day, avoid running your fingers through hair. “Oil from your hands can weigh down your roots leaving your hair flat at the end of the day”-Tatum Neill, Arrojo Studio
61. Try to avoid washing your hair everyday. Constant shampooing leaves hair dry and your scalp will create more oils to compensate for the loss of moisture.
60. Always use a moisturizer with SPF in the morning. Even in the winter!
59.”Go for a trim every 6-8 weeks to ensure you have no damaged ends making your hair look unhealthy”- Nick Arrojo, Arrojo Studio (and the man who worked for seven years changing lives on What Not To Wear)

58. Remember, clean brushes to fight against potential bacteria and breakouts!
57. Clean out your makeup bag at least once a year to get rid of old products that may be expired or you no longer use.
56. Winter can be especially harsh on your hair leaving it extra dry. Eugene Davis, celebrity hair stylist suggests using an Avocado Oil Hair Mask.
55. If you don’t have nail polish remover, apply clear nail polish over and then wipe off. It will remove old polish.
54. During the summer, wear chapstick or lip gloss with SPF.
53. To add volume to clean or unwashed hair, use a dry shampoo spray.
52.Change your beauty routine for Spring/Summer months. Your skin needs less coverage during the spring so you can swap the heavy products for lighter ones.
51.”I always think that less is more, there’s a point where you look in the mirror and say ‘Is this too much?’ and if you even have that inclination then it usually is.”- Kim Catrall, Sex and the City
50. When applying bronzer, “first start by applying it around the perimeter of your face and follow with a light dusting on your forehead, nose and chin”- Mally Roncal, Mally Beauty
49. To get curls when you have straight hair, use the following, “a volumizer or volume thickening agent, a curl enhancing product, light holding finishing spray”- Vicktor Stevenson, Hair Stylist
48.”Foundation should never be heavy”- Aura Schwartz, makeup artist
47.”The right red [lipstick] will light up your hair, eyes and skin immediately, the wrong one will not.”-Poppy King, Lipstick Queen
46.Use a shimmer eye shadow to compliment a bold matte lip.
45.To revive curls mid-day, “Take a very small amount of pomade and put it in the palms of your hands. Rub them together. Next gently smooth the pomade over your curls and scrunch just a little bit”-Eugene Davis, celebrity hair stylist
44.”You should always go to a hair-removal specialist, where waxing, laser etc. is their main business – don’t go to a nail salon for a wax”- Cindy Barshop, Completely Bare and Bravo’s RHONYC
43.”A little silvery-blue eyeliner on the lower lid is very flirty”- Dimitri James, makeup artist, author and creator of Skinn Cosmetics
42. “Use your concealer as a base on your eyelids”-Melissa Silver, Maybelline makeup artist
41. If you’re not a fan of liquid liner, get the look of liquid eye liner by using a gel instead.

40. Exfoliate before applying self tanner to get rid of dead skin. Tanning products tend to cling to dryer areas.
39. If you straighten your hair with a flat iron, cause less heat damage by letting hair air-dry. The less heat, the better!
38. To minimize pores, use a pore-minimizing facial wash followed by a toner. Make sure the toner is alchohol-free so it won’t dry out your skin.
37. The healthier you are, the healthier your hair! Take a daily multi-vitamin with Biotin to help hair grow.
36.To mask split ends, use an iron to straighten ends and then apply a hair repair cream.
35.There are always cheap, natural and effective homemade beauty recipes.
34.To fix brassy hair color, use a color-depositing shampoo with purple tones. For unwanted redness, use a color-depositer with a green tone.
33. To cover up roots in a hurry, use a dry shampoo spray for your hair color. If you don’t keep this product around, use eyeshadow (in a shade closest to your hair color) for a quick fix.
32. Get a “dewy glow” using a highlighter or illuminator above your cheekbones and on the browbone.
31. To contour cheeks, use a matte powder (a few shades darker than your skin tone) with an angled brush. Blend on temples and under cheek bone.
30.When using a cream product, lock it in by using a translucent powder over it.
29. Get quick volume by using a root lifter, then use hairspray to set hair. This will prevent it from fall flat during the day.
28. For makeup that lasts all day and night, use a makeup-sealing product.
27. To help you find the right shade of foundation, choose the product you think is closest to your color and try it on your jawline in natural light. You will be able to easily compare it to your neck’s color to see if you need to go for a different undertone, lighter or darker.
26. Try out the funky hair color trends without dying your hair. Instead, dust bright blush in your ponytail for the same effect. (Refinery29)
25. “Foot perspiration is typical in the summer and can lead to fungal infection and unwanted odor. Wash feet daily, and let them dry thoroughly before putting shoes on”- Dr. Leslie Campbell, DPM
24. Splurge on items that are important to you.”If mascara is really your thing and you fall in love with a mascara that ‘s $40, buy the mascara.”-Raychel Wade, founder of Cheek to Chic and La Prairie’s colour ambassador
23.”Don’t be too serious: It’s only Makeup! “- Francois NARS insists you play around with new colors
22. To reduce unwanted shine, use a moisturizer that mattifies, that way you get the moisture your skin needs without looking greasy.
21. To create a lived-in look for your hair, use thickening or sea-salt mist before you blow-dry. Follow by running a volumizing or texture cream through hair.
20. When using an eyeshadow primer, only place the primer where you’ll be adding color.
19.”Cream rouge [blush] should be the first thing that touches your cheeks when you want to project an image of healthy and pinched cheeks”- Pablo Manzoni, former creative director for Elizabeth Arden
18. If you choose to use false eyelashes, remember to use the dark glue as it will blend in with the lashes.
17.When buying “organic” beauty products, make sure to check if they are FDA certified organic. This will prevent you from getting scammed.
16. Use a facial exfoliater bi-weekly to get dead skin of dead skin. Makeup will look better on a clean, smooth canvas.
15. After using a a hair conditioning mask, follow with “a cold water rinse to close the hair cuticles”- Ursala Stephensen, Motions celebrity stylist
14. To get your braid to last all day, try styling hair that’s “dirty with product”. This will make the style stick longer.
13. Use a clarifying shampoo once a week to get rid of any product build-up that may have occured during the week.
12. If you have chipped nail-polish, add crackle or glitter on top to disguise the look of chipping.
11. Use a pumice stone on your feet after the shower to get rid of calluses on your feet.

10. Hydrate your under-eye area with an eye cream to prevent puffiness and bags.
9. If you have light hair,”put a lotion over the eyebrows and hair line” when self-tanning the face. Also remember to “apply it in circular motions and blend down to the neck”- Sinead Norenius, founder of Beautisol
8. If you often find yourself being too tired to wash your face at night, keep makeup removing wipes in your night stand to prevent a runny mess or morning break out.
7. Pop 1-2 Advil before going waxing to prevent pain.
6. The best way to get rid of ingrown hairs is to exfoliate,”which rids the skin of dead cells and allows the hair to break through the surface”- Marlena Ramoy, Bliss Spa Esthetician
5. Carrots are good for the hair. A healthy diet leads to a beautiful you.
4.”The best time to apply creams is after the shower, as the skin has been de-oiled.”- Dr. Stephen P. Bracci
3. Replace mascara and liquid eyeliner after three to four months.
2. To keep hair color vibrant longer, use shampoos and conditioners formulated for colored hair.
1. Use a cream or milk cleanser to wash your face. Creams are less drying than gels.

For uber-fab lashes: always curl eyelashes first! Wiggle the mascara brush horizontally onto the base of eye lashes to deposit the darkest color at the base. Then, brush through lashes two times allowing 30 seconds between each time.
I have always used this advice, and I have always gotten a lot of compliments on my beautiful eyes and especially my lashes!

love the tips

Definitely worth the read, ladies!
Great tips!! Love this
LOved the tips! Would like to share one. Make sure to use a great waterproof mascara remover. One that will not require a lot of rubbing. The more you rub, the more wrinkles you will have with age. Our eye area is very sensitive. Also, opt for spray tan instead of the sun light. Things I wish people would have shared with me in my twenties. Final tip ~ beauty starts within and glows outward! All women are beautiful in ther’re on special way. Look for your assets and use them

I have a good one that’s actually so obvious that I felt silly when I didn’t think of it myself! Use your old mascara wands as tools. When you finish off a tube of mascara, toss it and wash the wand (of course) and use it as a brush for your eyebrows, to separate lashes, etc, etc, etc. Simple!
Also- to test if a mani is dry, take tap two nails together. If they stick together a bit, they are obviously not dry yet. But this trick to check it won’t mess up your nails!
Another way I always check my Manicure for dryness is by gently tapping my nail to my (dry) bottom lip a few times. If it feels a bit tacky still, not done. But if it slides across with ease, they’re Set!
And the BEST top coat, quick dry, finishing polish I’ve found so far is Seche VITE. Trust me, as a 32 y/o who’s only had ONE pro-mani my entire life and always has polished nails

for the tip to condition starting at the ears and then down – is that starting at the top of the ears or below? Thanks!
It doesnt matter, its justthat general area yo should start at.
My favorite tip is to use 3 mascaras to create awesomely full lashes. After using an eyelash curler twice on both sets of lashes, start of with a good coat of a normal (NOT waterproof!) mascara (I use Almays nourishing). Follow that with 2 coats of a big volume mascara (I am currently obsessed with bad gal by benefit), and then follow with one coat of a waterproof variety (I use maybellines old standby great lash in blackest black). I use a disposable mascara wand in between applications if needed to prevent clumsiness or the dreaded spider lashes. When I yawn, my eyes water really badly, but using this method allows me to make it through a day at the office all the way through through dinner without looking like a raccoon!
wonderful !!!!!
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!! superb tips
Totally unrelated to anything in the post, but I am almost positive the girl in the first photo is my friend Victoria…

These tips are great.
#95 is not for everyone. You have to have a prescription for any oral steroid, including a cortisone. And you have to have a medical reason, not just a zit. This is unrealistic.
Awesome!
Extra tips: Remedy for chapped lips and really awesome, soft lips and perfect lipgloss/stick/stain application. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of sugar with a 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Apply to lips and either rub using fingertips or just rub lips together. Rinse off with cool water. Then apply a super moisturizing balm with SPF, I like Baby Lips in Peppermint 010 by Maybelline. Apply this mix either once a week or every few days. If lips are chapped, apply daily for a week and use a Burt’s Bees lip balm, use the one with peppermint extract. Peppermint is a great repair oil and helps to seal moisture in. Drink water!!! Beauty starts inside. Chapped lips are a sign of dehydration.
great and great tips thanx…………..
thank you so much this really helped
#70 Your hair should ALWAYS be dry before using any kind of hot tool not just to ‘make curls last’ Water + Heat = Boil
How come there isn’t any tips of how to get rid of facial hair, safely? I am now 45 yrs old and I have in the last few years noticed I have started growing blond facial hair and it is long. Its horrible I can’t wear make-up cause it stands out. Any tips? Thanks.
Suck it up and wax it. Welcome to womanhood.
to keep my blush lasting all day, i apply my eye lid primer that i use for my eyes to my cheeks. Just a small amount rubbed in then apply my blush/bronzer. After all my makeup is done i spray Urban Decay “all-nighter” to my face and my makeup looks fresh even after 16 hours.
I have oily hair and recently found a life saving tip that works wonders
Add 1/2-1 teaspoon of baking soda to your shampoo scrub hair then rise out
Then I add a very small amount of conditioner to just my ends
My hairs been bouncy and oil free for three weeks
very nice tips thanks for telling
When using my mascara on the bottom lashes i always use 1 square of tissue place it underneath the lashes and then use the mascara wand so all the smugdes etc doesnt go under eyes.. & also another thing i do i use a tinny bit of moisturiser on a cotton bud to remove any of my eyeliner smudges etc & its good when on a nightout or even if your out through the day to take with you, i usually take my little niva one or dove pot in my bag, handy
…. Also got 2 b schwarzkopf pwder’ful is really goods for creating volume to your hair all you do is shake a small amount into your palm and rub hands together, you’ll see the powder disappear but still feel it on your hands. distribute into dry hair, focusing on the roots for an INSTANT root boost and volume. …tip for extra volume boost, shake powder directly into the roots of your hair, using your fingers to work it in and create big, volumised styles, I’ts a really good buy & for the price, & good for when u dont have time to wash & style your hair 
Put chapstick on before your lipstick to avoid a dry look. It also helps with eveness.
Redundant.
Agreed. good, repeated tips.
#1 beauty tip is always apply a massive dose of confidence, because no product will make you look more radiant.
cheers to that!
wow, loved this! here are some good tips i know: apply concealer under eyes BEFORE applying eyeliner (especially pencil liner). applying after will make the bags under your eyes look much darker. another: if you notice a pimple with a white tip forming, put on some WHITE toothpaste, it’ll suck the pus right out.
are there any great tips out there for applying nude lipstick? no matter how moisturized my lips are, i find nude lipstick always points out any dry flaws on my lips and cracks a lot. any help for me?
good work .
Useful information, thank you for sharing:)
Apply Vaseline to your eyelashes before bed for longer, thicker lases. You should see results in 2-3 weeks.
You can use olive oil as a make-up remover. It won’t clog your pores. It dissolves dirt from your skin and hydrates while lightening dark spots.
Add 5-6 drops of jojoba oil to your moisturizer to calm redness and irritation from picking. It also helps hydrate the skin!
Do you apply the vaseline at the root ofthe lashes?
Thx

Oral cortisone for the skin, seriously? That could lead, at least, to dermatitis. In other cases, to water retaining and many health problems. It all depends on the person but it’s a dangerous, strong medication.
Someone should show Amanda Bynes this…
Fantastic, pleasant posting and also the precise product information, allow me to present to my friends within myspace.
hold a business card to your cheek bone and put bronzer on your cheek and blend a little and it will add definition to your face
