Timeless beauty tips

Woman's day's best beauty tricks.

Gorgeous hair

1- Camouflage roots by zigzagging your part rather than making it straight.
2-Never let a stylist interfere with the natural hairline on your neck. The hair there is cowlicklike and will stick out when it grows.
3-Always rinse out conditioner (which should go on hair ends) with cold water to seal the cuticle and promote shine.
4-Keep a blowout lasting days longer by sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase.
5- If you color your hair, look for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, which don’t contain harsh detergents. 

Beautiful brows

6- Soften skin before tweezing by dabbing with a cotton ball soaked in warm water or cream
7- Tweeze in the direction the hair grows
8 - Don’t change the place where your brows peak and never pencil the whole brow. Instead, only fill in holes.
9- Use only the side of a sharpened brow pencil—not the pointed tip—so as not to draw a hard line

Bright  eyes

10-  When you put on mascara, don’t lower your chin—that’s how mascara gets on your lid
11- Get eyeshadow to stay in place by priming lids with moisturizer and foundation.
12- Always use your ring finger to apply moisturizer or concealer to the eye area. It puts the least amount of pressure on the skin
13-  Never put mascara on lower lashes; it casts a shadow on your undereye, making the area look darker
14-Open up eyes: Apply a light eyeshadow (like ivory or gold) just above the lashline and along inner corners of your eyes.
15-Stop pencil eyeliner from smudging by applying powder shadow (in a matching or slightly darker shade) over the pencil

Pretty face

16-Powder is the only makeup applied with a downward motion—you do this to smooth down facial hairs. 
17- To stop makeup from fading during the day, apply a primer before your foundation
18-Before applying powder, gently blow the excess off your brush to prevent flaking. 
19- Concentrate blush on the apple of cheeks, the part that puffs out when you smile

Lovely lips

20- Get lips soft and smooth by using a damp, warm washcloth at night to rub off the flaky dry bits; follow with a coat of lip balm
21-Ease the evening switch to a redder or darker lipstick by applying it over and blending it into your daytime color.
22- To make lipstick last longer, allow it to set for a few minutes after applying, blot lips with tissue and dust them with powder, then apply another coat.
23-For lipliner that glides on, warm it up first by pinching it with your fingertips.
24-To keep lipstick from bleeding, pat a little concealer around your lips.
25- Smile when you put on your lipstick—it’s the best way to ensure complete coverage, corners included
