Grandma's tricks you should try

Hello Ladies...here are some tips I'm gonna share with you, that can help you with your makeup applications and everyday life. ;)  

Who would have thought that a spoon could help you with your tired eyes?
Whether it be from reading, not sleeping (the true insomniac I am teehee) or maybe a late night.; one of the easiest remedies I use is a spoon. Yip you heard me right....a spoon!.
Here goes: place two spoons in the freezer or if your on the go...run one under cold water,  place them/it under your eyes. Make sure when you place in freezer NOT to freeze. Your eyes will definately feel rejunvinated.     

Ok so your on the go, but have no time to apply eyeshadow to give that 'complete' look....well no fear bronzers are there. For a soft made up glow, dust on some bronzers over your lid, it will give your eyes enough colour to make it seem as if your wearing makeup!
Btw don't forget to add a lil on your cheeks too. Eva Pigford is a true example of how bronzing should be done right...she always wears it well.

How to fill in your brows? Powder is definately the problem solver. Eyebrow powders give a a softer, natural defination,while pencils can look very waxy (although they may last longer). The trick in applying the  powder is to set with with a clear mascara. If you don't have that on hand use, a little lip balm and bam you've got yourself a brow powder wax. Be sure when using powders, always try to use waterproof formulas. 
Tip: If you prefer wearing pencils...dust a little translucent powder over your brows.     

Ever wonder what is the purpose of owning a white eyeliner? Well these liners are essentials...if you want your eyes to pop, with more help than just wearing a volumising mascara? A white eyeliner will definately do that. Work it along the lashiline and then smudge it softly with a sponge tip applicator. Your eyes will definately appear more open.    

Wanna make your lashes full, without the task of applying false lashes? Use a volumising and lengthening mascara to achieve this. Maybelline (ma fave brand) makes both volumising and lenghtening mascaras. Their Falsies are perfect for volume because not only do they fill in the gap but the spoon style brush is easy to work over the lashes.  

I find that Maybelline have always stayed true to their no clump statement, and their Define-A-Lash proves that. Not only does it create voluptuous volume, it does so with with clean definition. Their brand is also contact lens safe. 
These two mascaras both come in waterproof and washable formulas. Btw if your wearing their waterproof masacra, these can REALLY stay...like REALLY, and may be hard to remove. What I do to remove them from my lashes...is to coat my lash with a little vaseline...I allow it to set and then remove with makeup remover. The vaseline breaks up the formula way better than any remover can.     
Tip: If in the future you buy a new mascara, but it does not do the the trick these two offer....simple: wash and clean them in warm water when they are finished and use as a mascara wand. You are basically recycling the wands ;).

Getting conscious that you may have yellow teeth? wearing darker shade lipsticks definately creates the illusion of whiter teeth. 

Tip: Make sure to keep away from coffee, red wine and smoking. These are definately stain culprits. Drink red wine and coffee on a minimum.

Certain variables may cause puffiness of the face. So if you are experiencing puffiness...go in your kitchen and grab that foil paper. Yip it does the trick! 
Take a sheet and fit it to your face. Foil is very pliable so you may work it whichever way to fit your features. Ok after you have done that...place in a Ziploc bag and put in freezer, once its cold enough take, it out and place over your face, in a lying position. Cut out a hole for your mouth so you can breathe. This should reduce puffiness after a few minutes.   

Before applying your favourite nail polish,be sure to use a basecoat before, this will prevent your nails from getting stained yellow.

Tip: Remember that stress shows on your face and can cause dysfunction in your body, whenever that feeling comes over you relaxxx...you can do so by meditation or in your spare time use aromatherapy oils in your tub, put in your favourite cd and mellow...even for a few minutes.

Well I hope my lil tips helped yah, try them and tell me what you think :)...ave a Fab Friday beautiful damas and remember take care of your spirit too!
