Try not to sleep with products (like hair spray our mouse) in your hair. During the night, the products will run onto your pillow, and evetually, can rub into your face. These products are oily, and in turn can create oily skin. This can cause breakout during the nights, and ranom pimples. So avoid this, and if you can’t, sleep with your hair in a poinytale. It might not prevent it, but it will help.

Wavy Curls

I used a conair spiral curler, Aussie hair spray, and a soft bristle brush. : )
Needed time: 30-40 minutes.

Here’s a better picture of the curls

The Perfect Foundation

Don’t panic! I know, picking the right foundation colour can be frustrating and confusing. But don’t fret, maybe some of my tips can help you find the right foundation.

1. It doesn’t matter who you are, always try for a foundation with atleast an SPF 15. Any dermatologist will reccommend putting on a daily SPF to help protect our skin!
2. Pick a foundation that is right for your skin. Most foundations now have specific ingrediants that will help your skin. If you have dry skin, there will be one for you, if you have oily skin, there will be a non oily foundation. It will say right on the Bottle as well, so you don’t have to search high and low for a sign.
3. Pick a foundation that is the same tint as your skin. I would reccommend a yellow tint, which helps to hide blemishes and redness. But if you are not sure, ask the cosmetician at your local drugstore, or even in a MAC store; they’ll know what they’re talking about!
4. When trying to find your perfect foundation match, go during the day, and add the foundation sample on the side of your face, which will show you if it blends well with your face, and neck. Always sample it near natural light. Some makeup artists blend it on the end of the chin as well. Again, if you need help, ASK!
5. Don’t get too stressed, and don’t go all out at first! If you’re not sure about foundation, just get loreal, or covergirl. Don’t spend big bucks on something you might not even use a lot. If you’re a huge foundation gal (like me!), then maybe try products like MAC, or smashbox, that give you full coverage and very good quality.

Have fun, and make sure everything is as natural as possible. You don’t want to look like a clown.

Have fly away eyebrow hair? To fix this take an old mascara brush (cleaned of all mascara and bacteria!) and add one spray to the brush. Comb it through your brows for the desired look (The Perfect Brow), and they will stay like that all day :)

Hate the way the cold winter days make your hands feel dry? Are your hands just naturally dry?
Before you go to bed, lather on vaseline on your hands, and slip on a pair of cotton gloves. By the morning, when you wake up, you’ll have soft hands!

For more curl and definition in your lashes, put a lash curler under your blow dryer for 3-6 seconds; any longer and the curler could burn your lashes!
Put the dryer on high heat, and heat away!
This is much like curling your hair, but your eyelashes instead!

Tadpole Brows: This makes expressions look panicked and confused. It is, as well, old fashioned

Too Short Brows: This eyebrow makes the eye look smaller. This is a terrible shape for those with already small eyes.


Gap Between Eyebrow: This shape allows for the eye to appear more narrow.


The Perfect Brow: Perfect Arch! The start of the brow matches up vertically to the end of the side of your nose, while the end of the brow matches up diagonally to the end of the side of your nose as well.
