2009 Beauty Tips : BEST and WORST List




BEST BEAUTY TIPS:


1. For a perfectly pink tongue and lips, suck on a red Jolly Rancher candy and drink Fruit Punch Gatorade.

2. Use an eye cream. The best eye cream I've seen this year is Clarity RX's C-Results eye cream. It works and won't break the bank. (For more info on Clarity RX, click here)

3. For smooth under eyes, apply eye cream and then put a sheet of saran wrap over the area. Leave on for 10-15 minutes.The saran wrap will trap your body heat and help the eye cream penetrate deeper into the skin for better results.


4. Use a Clarisonic brush for cleansing skin. It really does remove more dirt and makeup than you do!

5. Use a NuFace microcurrent device to lift and tone instead of getting injections or surgery.

6. Curl your lashes. Many woman are intimidated by eyelash curlers and believe they'll cut their lashes, pull lashes out or pinch skin. But if you can use a nail clipper without cutting your fingers or toes, you can easily use an eyelash curler.

7. Find out what's in your makeup. Silicones, talc, and FD&C dyes, parabens (preservatives) can irritate skin can cause breakouts and sagging. Search for your makeup on www.cosmeticsdatabase.com to see if its toxic.

8. Use a foundation brush. Putting on cream concealer or liquid makeup without a foundation brush is like putting icing on a cake with your bare hands. To get a smooth, even layer of makeup, you need a good foundation brush.

9. Wash your makeup brushes and dry them horizontally. Use warm water and your face wash (or baby shampoo) to wash your brushes, blot with a clean towel and then lay them down to dry. Drying them on a flat surface will prevent water from getting into the delicate binding of the brush.

10. Don't do it yourself. For eyebrow shaping, airbrush makeup, and removing blackheads, please don't do it yourself.

WORST BEAUTY TIPS:

1. Use toilet seat liners as blotting paper to absorb oil.

2. Don't wash your face in the morning to preserve your natural oil.

3. Tan your face in the tanning bed or sun.

4. Use blush to contour cheek bones.

5. Use sharpie markers as eyeliner or lip color.
