Giving Yourself A Well-Deserved Makeover

By Susie Fleming


Make-up should be fun while enhancing your natural beauty. Although the sheer amount of products may seem overwhelming, a few simple techniques will help you apply your make-up appropriately. Follow these tips to demystify the world of cosmetics

Before applying any self-tanning product, it is always best to exfoliate your skin. By doing this, you will remove the dead skin from your skin's surface. Make sure you do not use a salt or sugar scrub which will leave an oily residue on the surface of your skin since this will it harder for the sunless tanner to absorb into your skin. By sloughing off the dry dead skin cells, you will diminish the amount of scaly patchy areas on your skin. An additional benefit exfoliation is that it will also promote a smoother application process which will result in a non-streaked, longer lasting tan.

Exercise is an important activity for just about every one of your bodily functions. Your skin can greatly benefit from regular exercise. Exercise helps get your blood pumping and allows your skin to breath.

When you don't have enough time to apply a full face of makeup, it's quick and easy to swipe on a bright and colorful lipstick or gloss. If you have a few minutes to spare, prime your lips with a lip liner; this extends the life of your color and keeps your pout well-defined. Choose a color that flatters your skin tone and brightens your smile. Another option is to apply a lip stain, which lasts longer and adds a hint of natural color.

Using too much eye makeup is a big mistake you can make. Regardless of whether you're going for a dramatic look or a more down-to-earth look, too much eye makeup can actually detract from your appearance.

Some people may not be okay with only using concealer because of acne scars or other blemishes that need to be properly covered. Use a pressed powder foundation that you can easily blend into your skin tone. A great option is Bare Minerals, because it looks natural and doesn't cause a creased or caked effect. Others may find that a liquid foundation serves their purposes better. If you are easily allergic or break out often, this may be something you need to avoid since liquid foundations usually contain oils.

Many women complain that their makeup comes off throughout the day. The following tips and techniques will teach you the proper steps to apply make-up that will last throughout the day. The first thing you should do before applying makeup is to thoroughly clean your face. Once your face is clean and free of oil, apply a makeup primer and allow it to dry completely before applying your foundation. Remember, when it comes to foundation, less is more. Apply only as much as is needed to even out your skin tone. Many people prefer to use mineral-based foundations because they last all day.

Purchase an eye cream that is designed to reflect light and brighten your eyes. These eye creams have minute particles in them that reflect light and help detract from your dark circles. These creams do not improve your purple under eye circles over time, but they do offer an immediate improvement, which makes them popular.

Salicylic acid is one of the ingredients in Pepto-Bismol and it is also found in most acne creams. Try a Pepto-Bismol facial to help clear acne problems and promote a smoother complexion. Another simple acne remedy is to apply a bit of toothpaste to blemishes before bed and allow to dry overnight.

Now that you have read this article you surely see the connection between health and beauty. Now that you know how important you health is when it comes to your looks all you need to do is take action and take care of your body so that you are as beautiful as you can be.
