Answer 1

Okay, here ya go...

Beauty Tip 1: Use foundation on your eyelids before applying eyeshadow. It helps the eyeshadow stay on longer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 2: Instead of buying expensive oil blotter papers, buy a box of perm papers. Very cheap and works great for blotting oily skin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 3: Apply carmex on your lips before putting on lipgloss or lipstick, it helps it stay on longer, keep it moisturized, and sometimes makes your lips "juicier" looking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 4: Use petroleum jelly or cold cream to remove stubborn eye makeup. its cheap and it works (even on waterproof mascara).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 5: Nothing ages a person more than worry. Try to be positive and love every day as a new adventure and get joy from all the little things (so many cost nothing). Drink 8 glasses of water a day and use a moisturiser.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 6: A Clay Mask works wonders on oily skin!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 7: Use a gentle soap like Dove for acne prone skin. It makes your skin a lot less oily because its PH balanced.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 8: Spray your face with cold water or stand with your head in the air from the freezer for a few moments to reduce redness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 9: Line deep set eyes with lighter shades of eyeliner to emphasize them!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 10: Use a hair dryer for a few seconds on your eyelash curler.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 11: To remove blackheads, steam for 5 mins and exfoliate immediately.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 12: To make your hair shiny and strong, after taking a shower apply olive oil into damp hair. It will make your hair shiny and much stronger.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip 13: Keep lashes smooth and supple by brushing them with petroleum jelly before going to bed at night. It is also a good way to emphasize natural-looking lashes in the daytime.

WHEW!!!! Lucky number 13!

Answer 2

Using sunscreen and avoiding tanning beds - using only gentle facial products (like those reviewed in Don't Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me book)

Answer 3

Don't use greesy hair products if your hair touches your face often.

When using liquid eyeliner use pencil first then trace over with the liquid.

Use a body scrub at least once a week to help retain glowing skin

Facial once a week-Scrub,steam, and mask

And drink plenty of water i guess

Answer 4

I used to only be able to wear gold earrings, no cute fashionable alternatives or I'd get infections. So .... a friend suggested sticking the post of the earing into a tube of Neosporin (antibiotic ointment). Now as long as I do that, I can wear ANY earrings. :) My ears don't hurt or get infected. :) Wish someone would have told me that YEARS ago. LOL

Answer 5

dont use alot of like, flat ironing and blowdrying--it will make ur hair look worse as time goes on and u will become dependant on the iron

also dont apply too much makeup
try the smokey-eyed look

watermelon-flavored victorias secret lip gloss is da bomb!

also, i dont believe that ur so ugly that u have to ask complete streangers for advice

keep on smiling and always be cheerful--it wont matter how u look--people will be attrcted 2 ur personality =)

good luck!

Answer 6

1. Be as natural as possible - a.k.a. light on the makeup
2. Always wear sunsreen (UVA & UVB Protection) every day
3. Wash your face every night.
4. Put Vaseline on your face at night. Keeps skin supple and young.

Answer 7

Use ivory soap to exfoliate once a week. Keeps me looking young and vibrant. Walking every chance I get and doing housework for exercise.

Answer 8

not to b mean but u need 2 trim your eye brows and use eyeliner but not to much because you have dark eyes and u would look nice with your bangs a lil in your face and not all back and don't part is so far over and just a lil bit of blush and you would b gorgeous

Answer 9

During summer, “Its easy to forget that feet can get sunburned. Be sure to apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 50 when barefoot”

Answer 10

Brush your hair a lot. The natural oils your scalp produces will keep it shiny and pretty. Also, don't wash it every day. It only needs it every couple of days, that is, unless you have an oily head. ;)
