Basic Beauty Truths You Must Know

Want to ensure you always look amazing? Here are some of the most basic beauty truths you must know…

Begin with a clean face

It seems really obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people don’t wash their face before applying makeup! This is the wrong move to make because a clean face is like a clean canvas., It not only makes it easier for the product to take, but it ensures that the end result is cleaner, crisper, and brighter too. So, whatever you do, don’t skip the cleansing step!

Find what works to you

When you’re new to makeup and beauty, it’s tempting to use the products that everyone raves about, but the fact is, they may not work for you and you may need to experiment, It doesn’t matter how good everyone says that primer is, if it doesn’t lead to good results for you, ditch it and try something else.

Don’t cut broken nails

When your nail is broken and looking bad, it’s really tempting to cut it off, but that will not only leave you with uneven nails, but it will also feel pretty odd too. You need to learn how to fix a broken nail and do that instead. It’s simpler than you think and it will help you to maintain your manicure.

You should apply eye makeup first

If you don’t want to end up ruining your foundation, you should always apply your eye makeup first, especially if you’re using pressed powder, which could end up getting on the rest of your face. It’s far easier to correct your eye makeup with concealer than it is to sort out your foundation if your eyeshadow gets on it, after all!

Tape makes amazing wings

If winged eyeliner is your thing,  apply a small amount of tape from the corner of your eye to the area past your lower waterline and draw your line above it. The sharp line of the tape will ensure that your wings look perfect. Then, you can just remove the tape and you’re ready to go.

Test foundation in different lights

If you want to avoid looking either like an Oompa Loompa or Wednesday Adams, before you buy a new foundation, pick up a tester and try it on your skin under different light conditions. The light can affect how a foundation looks on your skin, so trying it in as many different places as possible will give you a better idea if it’s a true match than the lighting at the makeup counter ever will.

Loose Powder makes for thicker lashes

Applying a layer of loose powder between layers of mascara is a really effective way of making your lashes look thicker.

Water is the best beauty product

When it comes to having clear, plump, youthful-looking skin, drinking lots of water will do you more good than any expensive skin product you can find in the beauty section. Obviously, moisturizing is still important, but drink lots of water and you’ll look radiant from the inside out!
