-
Fake tan.
Get in the habit of using it twice a week. It only takes a few minutes to apply at night and makes your skin look radiant and healthy. There are many different types to use, if you are completely new to fake tan, try a gradual fake tan. It is applied daily like a moisturizer and leaves a really nice glow.
Make sure you exfoliate your skin at least once a week to prevent a build up of colour. -
Concealer
This is an absolute must for under the eyes and any blemishes present on the skin. It makes the skin look flawless when correctly applied. If using concealer without foundation, choose a natural skin tone slightly lighter than your own colour. Use a fluffy eye shadow brush with a small amount of product to lightly apply around the eye area or over any blemishes. This gives it a very light and natural look.
-
Eyelash tint.
It will darken and slightly thicken the eyelashes making you look like you are wearing a light coat of mascara every day. This is a salon treatment and it takes around 20 minutes. It will last around 4 to 6 weeks without any maintenance.
-
Eyebrow shaping.
A great eyebrow shape will take at least 5 years off your age and really opens up your eyes. To find a shape that works for you get black eyeliner and draw on a shape over your own eyebrow, then with a white eyeliner colour over the hairs you think you want to get rid of. If you like the shape and it looks like it suits you, get a really good pair of slant angle tweezers and pluck out the hairs. Check after every three or four hairs you are tweezing from the correct place!
To tweeze correctly, stretch the skin in between the thumb and index finger of the opposite hand to your tweezer hand. Place the tweezers at the root of the hair and with one quick sharp tug, remove the hair in the direction of growth. Once you have a great shape it will only take a few seconds each day to remove one or two hairs as they come through. Alternatively you can have you eyebrows shaped in the salon as a professional treatment and pluck out the odd stray hair as it arrives.
-
Lip balm/light natural gloss.
This makes a massive improvement to your look. It really finishes it off and takes seconds to apply. You can either apply it with your fingertip or a lip brush.
You can make these tips a part of your regular beauty routine and you will always look fabulous!
