Glam Slam: Makeup Mondays — Best Beauty Tips

18.05.12

The new People StyleWatch comes to the rescue with a whopping 50 of the best beauty tips. Holly Carter, Beauty Director for People StyleWatch, highlights her top 5 favorites.

Nourish skin with a banana peel: After eating a banana, rub what’s left on the inside of the peel onto your face and leave it on for at least 10 minutes. It’s full of skin-softening minerals that will make your skin feel refreshed and soft.

Prevent frizz with paper towels: When you get out of the shower, scrunch out excess water, then repeat using a few sheets of absorbent paper towels. This will eliminate some of the frizz caused by the roughness of cloth towels.

Always check your makeup in natural light: It may sound basic, but it can really make a huge difference! You’ll avoid arriving to work with stripy blush or patchy foundation by blending or fixing mistakes before you leave the house. If you have a dim bathroom, just check yourself out with a compact by a window.

Makeup tips: What is eyelash powdering

18.05.12

Professional make-up artists use the technique of eyelash powdering to create the look of lots of eye lashes. A lot of lashes enunciates the eye and makes it look bigger. It makes the eye lashes stand out when mascara is applied, but it is not the same as applying eyeliner. Using this technique brings out eyelashes for someone who looks like they don’t have any, and can bring more attention to the eyes. Eyelash powdering should actually be used with eyeliner to give small eyes a more dramatic effect. If you think your eyes look big with just eyeliner, they look even bigger when eyelash powdering is used.

If you wanted to, you could go down to the beauty boutique and purchase Revlon’s Lash Fantasy® Primer & Mascara which aims to provide the same results. The Primer for this Lash Fantasy acts as the eyelash powdering.

To get the same look you really don’t have to spend money, all you need is eye shadow, powder, or baby powder, an eye shadow brush not more than 3/8 inch wide, and mascara for the final touch. These should all be pretty common staples found in the bathroom.
