1. never sleep with make-up on.. always wash your face morning and night :]
2. I use violet eyeliner a lot to play up my eyes (which are hazel) and i extend a bit on the corners to get the sexy cat eyes. I use cream blush because it doesn't come off as easily as powder blush (but you can apply your powder blush underneath ur foundation and it will last longer). I also use white shimmery eyeshadow on the inside corners of my eyes to make my eyes look wide awake and to make them pop. I apply lip stain under my gloss so that i have color all day. I also comb my eyebrows and use a brow gel so that they look sleek and straight.
3. for my hair: i wash my hair every 2 weeks (im multi-racial so i can go longer without washing, but make sure i do a good job when straightening) and when i wahs it i use head and shoulders 2 in 1. i dnt have dandruff but it helps my scalp stay moisturized without putting any creams, lotions, or grease on it. i then put dove moisturizing conditioner in it and put a shower cap on. let it sit for 20 minutes then wash it out. its good 2 wash out with cold water bcuz it adds a natural shine! then i let it air dry then blow dry it out. i straighten it really well and close to the roots(dont want curly strands and roots!) so it can last longer. its really silky and soft when i finish. of course it gets dirty over 2 weeks but it holds better styles when its dirty! but thats 4 me! for my ears: everytime i take off big earrings, homemade earrings, or earrings from claire's(even tho they say "for sensitive ears") i put alcohol on the hole 2 prevent infections and prevent my hole from stretching.
4. Here are some of my BEST tips: 1. If you don't keep the hair dryer moving every few seconds you can damage the cuticle of your hair. 2. Pulling out grey hairs will not get rid of them. They will just get replaced by new, grey hairs. 3.To avoid stains around the hairline while coloring, put vaseline around the edge of your hairline. 4.To immediatley remove redness from eyes, keep 2 spoons in the freezer and when in a rush, apply spoons to eyes for a few seconds to remove redness and puffiness. 5.When washing your face, wash hands 1st to prevent bacteria from spreading. 6.If you have trouble taming your brows, here is a little trick: apply hairspray to an old toothbrush abd brush over both brows. That should keep 'em in place. 7.If you suffer redness from tweezing, apply wet teabags to the area to reduce the redness. 8.If you have a pimple that is headed, do NOT squeeze it. Rather, pull it so you do not damage the skin underneath. 9. If you have a pimple that is Not headed do not mess with it or acne will spread all over your face and it will irritate the oil glands underneath your skin. 10. Your skin is completley restored when sleeping so choose a cream ment for night. 11. For great looking skin, give yourself a bost with vitamin capsules. 12.Always use toner after a cleansing. It will keep pores open so the moisturizer is more affective. 13.Use self tanner mixed with moisturizer to get a more grander and gradual grow. 14. Warm honey makes a great facial cleanser. 15. Prevent Polish from thickining by stashing it in the fridge. 16. To repair broken lipstick, place the 2 ends together and place ot in the freezer for 15-20 min. 17. Before curling eyelashes, place curler in front o fblow drier for a few seconds, test for hotness, and then curl for extra oomph af wapow! 18.Don't apply concealer directly on a pimple. First apply a pimple cream first. Then the concealer. 19. Use an illuminating light-catching foundation for a more glam glow. 20.For sexy eyes, use eyeliner to blacken the bottom rims, then lines along the upper lashes, concentrating on the outer corners and smudging the liner outwards to elongate the eyes. Try brushing a shimmery beige shadow all over the lids and under the lower lashes, and dab some under the arches of the eyebrows. Lastly, apply lashings of black mascara. for more look at my sources!!!
