Weird but Wonderful Beauty Tips

May 5, 2009

There are hundreds of beauty tips out there and some of them are utter garbage and can waste hours of your time!

Here is a list of beauty tips that DO actually work.

If your hair is looking a little greasy and you don’t have time to wash and blow dry your hair use a fluffy makeup brush and apply a small amount of loose powder, don’t forget to remove the excess powder by tapping the brush on your hand, and apply to you roots. This works a miracle as the powder removes all traces of oil and no one will ever know that you have skipped a shower.

If you like to keep fit and go to the gym before a night out (well done you if you do!!!) and leave your house still looking red and flushed you should take an antihistamine as soon as you leave the gym to reduce the red cheek look.

It can be hard work hunting for a red lipstick, especially one that stays put all night but there are several out there now that stay put all night no matter how much drinking, eating and kissing you do but one slight problem these lipsticks tend to want to stay put even in the morning. Instead of coming home and rubbing your lips and smearing the lipstick over your face making you look more like the joker and not a sexy scarlet you need to dip a cotton pad into make-up remover and gently rub over your lips. Trust me this works a treat!

When you have given your locks a blow dry instead of coating your hair in hairspray and risking making it look like you have not washed your hair and leaving it feeling hard the best way to give your hair volume and shine is to spray hairspray onto your brush and run it through your hair, roots to tips.

This is not a myth – tooth paste does work on spots! I have tried and tested this one and it worked! All you do is put a small amount on the spot and leave for 20 minutes to absorb then wash.

If I have not had a good nights sleep and especially if I have been drinking alcohol my skin looks irritated, red and puffy but to cure this I use a green tea bag that is slightly warm and dab over my face. This instantly freshens up my skin and gets rid of the puffy look!
