My Beauty Tips

There is nothing better than stealing everyone else's beauty and fashion tips, so luckily for you I'm handing them to you on a not so silver and not such a platter - silver platter. Enjoy!

Number 1: Sudocrem
I have said this before and I'll say it again, using it at night over your spots and you'll suddenly find that they have almost disappeared by morning. Its great for teenagers who suffer from acne and even people who suffer from the odd breakout. Use this method along side a good regular face wash and cleanser for you ladies!

Number 2: Conditioner
You're probably thinking that that's obvious but I'm not talking about using it for your hair! Ever ran out of leg shaving cream, well use hair conditioner instead as it nourishes the skin and the razor glides over with easy taking all the hairs with it ;)

Number 3: Sellotape
Whenever its a big night out and you want to get your eyeshadow and eyeliner just right with an amazing sharp line. But use a piece of sellotape or masking tape under the edge of your eye leading up the eyebrow and hair line, do your makeup and then peel away! SHARP!
Number 4: Clear Mascara
I love using clear mascara when I'm on holiday to make my eye lashes look reasonable but when its windy and your eyebrows always get blown around your face, keep them in place buy brushing through clear mascara alongside your normal eyebrow colour in. They wont move.

Number 5: Disappearing perfume
I always spray on my perfume all over and then before I know it it's gone! Try spraying it in your hair, on the backs of your knees or in the crook of your elbow as these are the places that will waft more, therefore making you smell beautiful!

Number 6: Cakey Facey
I hate seeing makeup that's obviously caked on so when I've finished my makeup I always spritz it with a little bit of water and it adds a slight dewy glow to the skin and making you look more natural.

Number 7: Streaky Fake Tan
No one likes to walk around with streaks, so whenever you apply ANY type of fake tan (including those that are moisturised) apply a moisturiser first to wet the skin and make an easy surface for the tan to glide one and therefore eliminating the possibility of streaks!

Number 8: No Nose Job for me!
I am very self-conscious about my nose so to give the illusion its slimmer get a small powder brush, dab in a medium coloured bronzer and brush it over both sides of the nose and leave the middle clear!

Number 9: Artificial Sunkissed-ness
Use your real foundation colour in the centre of your face and then render out to a shade darker out towards your hairline and down the neck.
Purple is your natural shade and orange is a shade darker.
Number 10:Wide Eyes
If you find you have slim eyes, don't apply any mascara to your bottom lashes and leave them bare as mascara would give the illusion that your eyes are small and add white eye liner to your water line to elongate out the white part of your eye making them bigger!
