Twenty Top Tips

Here's a few tips to give you a helping hand with your hair, make up and fashion.

 

1. Tight squeeze into your new heels? Spray deodorant/Batiste Dry Shampoo or powder onto your feet and they'll slip in without any trouble.


2. If you're not great at winged eyeliner then create a stencil on your eyelid with masking tape/sellotape and peel it off once you've filled in the wing.


3. Leave conditioner in the ends of your hair over night for dry and split ends then wash it off in the morning, you'll notice the difference after a week or so!


4. Head massages help your hair grow, treat yourself every now and then.


5. For dry and chapped lips, take a toothbrush, put a little bit of Vaseline on the bristles and exfoliate your lips to remove all of the dead skin cells.


6. To make it look as though your eyes aren't so close-set, concentrate on the outer eye make up and if you have wide-set eyes, concentrate on the inner eye.


7. In order to make your lips seem fuller, apply lip gloss in a downward motion.


8. If you get acne on one side of your face, it might be down to your mobile, so don't just clean your face, clean your phone.


9. To make your nail varnish last even longer, dip your nails in vinegar and let them air dry before coating them with varnish. *Do not do this if you have any open sores around your nails*


10. Keep eye drops handy, not  just for dry eyes but as an emergency spot treatment, it reduces both swelling and redness.


11. Olive Oil is the answer to many women's prayers; it's a make up remover, hair conditioner, facial cleanser and strengthens nails all in one!


12. Having a cactus in your room will soak up the toxins in the air so that your skin doesn't.


13. Whilst wearing bright and colourful make up, wear a nude lipstick so it doesn't look like there's too much going on on such a small canvas.


14. Shave after standing under warm water for a few minutes, this will soften the hair and open the follicles so that the razor doesn't pull.


15. Don't brush curls with a brush, comb through them with your fingers. This will give your hair an added lift without removing the curls.


16. To prevent your skin from drying and cracking, apply a moisturizer as soon as you get out of the shower, bath, sea or pool.


17. Instead of applying a self tanning lotion straight onto your skin, mix it with a few drops of moisturizer then proceed to tan, this will stop your knees and ankles looking darker than the rest of your leg as well as blend the colour more evenly.


18. Lookout for foundations with SPF. This will protect you from the sun but be careful, it can also make you appear very ghost like in pictures.


19. Dab toothpaste onto a pimple in order to dry it out.


20. CLEAN YOUR MAKE UP BRUSHES! Dirty brushes are a breeding ground for bacteria and they can often cause breakouts on your skin.
