- Never pluck/wax off the majority of your eyebrows, unless you want to look surprised, just remove stray hairs and allow your brows to frame your face.
- Your eyebrow start right above the inner corner of your eye, arch above your iris, and curve down towards the end.
- You brows should be two shades lighter than your hair color, unless your hair is blonde or gray, then they should be two shades darker.
- If you have short or heavy legs, avoid dark, heavy shoes: they will make your legs appear even shorter and fatter.
- No matter how many antioxidants, vitamins, and other beneficial things a skin or hair product claims to have, it won't make your skin, nails, or hair any healthier. You must eat a healthy diet to have healthy and beautiful skin, hair, and nails.
- Two coats of mascara is enough. I swear.
- Avoid brushing your hair when it is wet, it causes split ends. Instead, use a wide tooth comb.
- Two coats of mascara and a light application of eyeliner is enough to enhance your eyes; too much eyeliner makes your eyes look small and beady.
- Avoiding tanning beds, and tanning extensively in general, means avoiding early aging, leathery skin and skin cancer later.
- Pink, shimmery blush is universally flattering.
- To tone down a bold lipstick color, dab it on your finger, and then apply with your finger. This creates a stained effect.
- Don't wear intense eye make-up and a vibrant lip color at the same time; people won't know which one to look at, and it will make you look like a clown that is trying too hard. Rather, choose one or the other. If you choose bright or intense lips, wear two coats of mascara, a little eyeliner, and a small amount of eyeshadow in a neutral color. If you choose intense eyes, wear a matte, non-eye-popping shade, or choose a lip balm with a hint of color, such as Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate or Plum, both universally flattering, or Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Rhubarb or Raisin, also universally flattering.
- If you want the liquid eyeliner look without the mess of liquid eyeliner, try an eyeliner marker, such as Physician's Formula Felt Tip Eye Defining Marker.
- Always apply primer before applying foundation. Primers smooth out skin and help camouflage imperfections.
