Ladies, What's your best beauty\makeup secret?

Question

Did I asked if u wear makeup???

uhh..No I didn't ..so do not answer if you don't...beside that I typed the word beauty too so it's not just about makeup it can be something u do natural...my god people!

Here I go again...why do these weird a.s.s people keep answering my question without a good answer my god...some of you behave like it's a crime to wear makeup...

Answer 1

Grrr.. I can see why you're getting frustrated! LOL. Wonder if these people know that models and actors and actresses wear makeup all the time? Anywho, in answering your question, my beauty secret is drinking tons of water and dry brushing the body! You'd be amazed at what dry brushing does to the skin! It gives it a nice glow and smoothes out rough spots! Of course, water hydrates the skin, making it look nice and plump. When you have nice skin all around, putting on makeup is a lot easier. You don't need to use as much, and it just looks better to have nice skin with makeup than blotchy patches.

Answer 2

The best ever advice/secrets are....

1. To remove your make up before going to bed, however drunk or tired!

2. Mosturise using a suitable cream or lotion for you and always do your neck too as it gets older quicker than your face. Always brush up when applying mosturiser.

3 Always get as much sleep as possible it does wonders for your skin.

4. Applying your foundation to your lips will help keep the lipstaick on or if you use gloss it will give a natual skin look which is very in!

5. Natural is best, but there is an art to getting the natural look.

6. Pat eyeshadow on then blend with a clean brush, it lasts longer and stays in place.

7. keep makeup brushes cleaned as they carry bacteria and can cause spots.

Well I think that is enough for now?

Answer 3

I can definitely see your frustration. Its such a good question!!Most of the answers are just soo stupid! I don't know why ppl even bother answering when they dont have the right answer. Ok enough of my rant..

My best makeup secret is to use ice to set my foundation, wipe off water, then reapply the foundation. The foundation stays all night long and looks so natural. I always use this technique when I have to wear foundation for a long time such as late parties.


Beauty secrets:

1. Raw potato slices to remove/lighten dark eye circles.

2. Olive oil to moisturize my body and to make my hair silky smooth.

3. Apply vaseline to your lips. Its better than any lip balm.

That's all I could think of right now. Hope it helps!

Answer 4

MOISTURIZE. Using a good moisturizer at night and in the morning keeps your skin healthy, because when it gets dry, your makeup is alot more difficult to apply, and you end up using more than you need. I love Dermalogica's Active Moist at night, and their tinted mositurizer in the morning. Their whole skincare line is kick ***.

For dry hair: Wet your hair, and then dry it a bit so its not sopping. Then, comb about 2 teaspoons of olive oil through your hair, and then wrap a warm towel around your hair. Keep the towel on your hair for an hour, using a blow dryer to keep it warm. Then, wash your hair, getting all of the oil out.

Drink lots and lots of water, because keeping hydrated is a good way to keep your skin from getting gross.

Burts Bees lip balm is fantastic for keeping lips soft. Keep some on hand, along with your regular lipgloss. Put the burts bees on first, then a little bit of lipgloss over, and it helps to make sure that the lipgloss is not as gross and sticky.

A way to help your deodorant work better, put some on before you go to bed at night, because it gives your body a chance to get the antiperspirants into your system, so in the morning after you shower and what not, when you put it on again it lasts longer.

I don't know if this is a beauty secret but my mother taught me to always rinse my face with very cold water after washing it-something about closing the pores. I never had break-outs or acne as a teenager and now that I am, shall we say, past 50-my skin looks younger and in better shape than most of my friends.

Answer 6

i always drink lots of water and i use a vitamin e creme every day so myskin can be healthy and at night i wash my face with hot water and then with clod water this way it helps my proes go away faster and oh i use most facail crems like a acne creme and stuff at night coz thats the time when ur skin heels the most at night and i wash my face twice a day so it can stay dirt free and oil free lol and thats pretty much it for makeup well i dont really have a good beauty secret for that but i use my fingers instead of brush when i put foundation becoz fingers work way better(just make sure ur hands are clean )

Answer 7

Great question. I like to get makeup ideas and styles from a book by Kevyn Aucoin (he has 2) and sadly he passed away. It will do you wonders of good to just sift through his book at a bookstore. Here is the link. His site is awesome I promise!!!! BTW I'm huge on eyes and mascara, L'Oreal Voluminous is the best thickener, darkener and lengthener, been using it for years.

Answer 8

Sparse eyelashes? Powder your eyelashes with face powder before using mascara. It'll thicken & lengthen and you can use any cheaper mascara and it will work like the expensive ones!

Think lips? Dab a little bit of shimmer just to the center of both lips to make your lips appear fuller

Favourite lipstick getting low? Scoop out what's left, mix it with a smidgen of Vaseline & put in a lip balm container. Instant lip gloss of your favourite shade. :o)

Want your nail polish to dry quickly? Put your hands under cold water from the tap so it rolls off your fingers...the cold water dries the polish almost instantly!

Can't find your eyelash curler? Use a teaspoon. Place the edge along your lash line, and press your lashes up against the spoon edge. Works like a charm!

And I have a thousand others. LOL!! Great question! :o)

Answer 9

people always say.."less makeup..less makeup!" and look at how they look! They have no clue what they are talking about.
It's not a crime! I LOVE makeup! it is so much fun!!

When you are covering a blemish pat foundation on it. Don't wipe foundation over it. if you wipe it over you will end up wiping it on and off and will never cover it up. I had a pimple on my cheek once and used this trick and I couldn't see it at all!!
Seal it with powder and you will be good to go..and look like you are blemish free!
oh and to keep your lip color staying longer. put a thin layer of foundation on your lips before applying the color!
good luck!! Great question!!!

Answer 10

Drinking insane amounts of water.I drink about 2 liters or more.I drink alot and it shows through my skin.Staying out of the sun and avoiding sunlight as much as possible wearing high SPF sunblock.My sunblock is 45.Having a good skin care system and exfoliating or using face masks once awhile.Lining the whole eye with red eye shadow is cool and gives you a suken dead-ish look.<3 I love that look.
