Beauty tricks and tips

Beauty tips and tricks

Okay so today I want to talk to you about some make up tricks and I will be focusing on the eyes.

Do you find it hard to apply soft eyeliner? Draw a thick line onto your hand, and then use a stiff eye brush to to pick up the pigment and apply to your eye.

In order for your eye colour to stand out, apply black liner around the entire eye, including the water line.

Using a eye cream under the eyes and onto the lid before applying your makeup will make your make up go on smoother.

When applying foundation or cream in the eye area, always drag the skin inwards, not outwards, as this will prevent wrinkles. Also be extra gentle in the eye area, as the skin is most fragile there. 

If you're going for a smokey eye look, keep the rest of your face soft, which will make your eyes stand out more. 

Did you know mascara has a use by date? You should never use a mascara for more then 6 months, as the liquid becomes dry, and this can give you eye infections!

Never use a eye shadow that is the same colour as your eye, as nothing will stand out. 

For blue eyes, use a peach colour all over your lids and underneath your eyebrows to really make them stand out.

If you have brown eyes, use a navy shadow.

For green eyes, try using a purple eye shadow , keeping the colour sheer and use a deep plum eyeliner.

Eyebrows

When you're filling in your brows, make only little hair - like strokes for a more realistic look.

For plucking, pluck in the direction of hair growth, and never pluck on top. Pluck the hairs underneath to get the shape you want. 

Use a clear mascara to groom your brows and keep them in place.

For a bolder look, use a eyebrow powder that is a shade darker then you usually wear .

The highest point of your eyebrow should be about 2 thirds of the way, and not in the middle of the brow. 

And remember, eyebrows are sisters not twins. No amount of plucking will make them identical!

I've also recently bought the breville blend active smoothie maker, and I love it!

I'm addicted to smoothies, so being able to make my own everyday is amazing. I mostly use, grapes, raspberries, apples, Kiwi fruit and strawberries. It will also blend ice cubes, which is great for having extra cold smoothies. I highly recommend this product, especially if you're struggling to get your 5 a day!
