Tip: Fragrance

They say not to rub your wrists together right after applying fragrance, because this can end up altering the scent. Instead, just spray one of your wrists, and touch it to the other. That simple! For a lighter touch or heavier perfumes, spray your chest once, and tap both your wrists to dampen them slightly.

It's a good idea to apply your fragrance a little higher on your arm, that way it won't come off when you wash your hands throughout the day.

Also, always spray fragrance directly on your skin, rather than on your clothes. Fragrance is meant to work with the warmth and oils of your skin to create your own unique scent. If you spray it on your clothes, the alcohol might actually ruin the fabric, so be careful!

Quick Tip: Cuticles

If you use a lip balm that comes in a tub or tin, you probably have some product left over on your finger after applying it to your lips. Instead of wiping that residue in your palm (or wherever you put it), massage it in on your cuticles. This will make them appear healthy and promote nail growth!

Quick Tip: Garlic Nails

If you have trouble with weak, short, and peeling nails, this is for you. Buy the cheapest clear polish you can find. Next, take a small garlic clove and cut it into itty bitty pieces, and stuff them into the polish. Try to paint your nails with this concoction every week or as soon as you see a chip, and your nails will thank you.

Tip: Determining Your Skin's Undertones

Many people become very confused when faced with products labeled for "warm" or "cool" skin tones. An easy way to determine this is to look at your arm - if your veins appear greenish, then your skin has a yellow undertone, or is warm-toned. If the veins on your arm look blue, then your skin has a pink undertone, or is cool-toned. If you can't see the veins under your skin, try to determine whether you look better in gold or silver. Warm skin tones tend to look best in golds, while cooler skin tones look best in silver.

Quick Tip: Shiny Hair

Sometimes our hair can become dull and flat due to all the products we're constantly using. Once a month, take about two tablespoons of regular white distilled vinegar and add it to about a cup of warm water. Pour this concoction over your wet hair before shampooing, and let it sit for about five minutes. The vinegar cleanses all the buildup from your hair leaving it shiny, voluminous and super soft. After the five minutes are up, rinse, shampoo and condition as normal.

Quick Tip: Winter Skin

If you live somewhere where the weather gets extremely cold, you've probably experienced the painful cracked skin that can occur when you lose moisture. This is usually most common on the corners of the nose, around the lips, and the webs of your fingers. Dab a little Vaseline or Aquaphor on these spots to smooth the area and reduce the itching. If you're on the go, a clear lip balm will work the same way.

Quick Tip: Cleaning Makeup Brushes

Whether you only own one eyeshadow brush, or you're creating a look that involves multiple shades, it is a good idea to clean your brushes between colors. This allows for the colors to show up true to their shade instead of blending with what was already on the brush. Take a folded paper towel and a spray bottle with the highest concentration of alcohol you can find (i.e. 99%, the higher the concentration, the faster it dries). Then spray the bristles of your brush a few times and sweep them back and forth on your paper towel to remove all the excess pigments. Your brushes should be dry and ready for use in about two minutes.

Quick Tip: Body Acne

If you get acne on your face, you probably use some sort of toner or astringent. To prevent the occasional flare-up on your chest or back, after you're done applying the astringent all over with the cotton pad (or whatever you use), apply what's left on your chest and back. This will remove excess residue from soaps, conditioner and lotions and keep the areas clear.

Quick Tip: Touch-Ups

If you have oily skin, your face probably starts looking really shiny within an hour or so after applying makeup. Before covering up all the shine with powder, make sure to blot your face first. Blotting will remove the excess grease, allowing you to use less powder and minimize the chance of clogged pores. Your face will also stay matte longer, and you don't risk your powder turning darker once it gets in contact with the oil.

Quick Tip: Sharpening

Before sharpening pencil products such as eyeliners, lipliners, shadow sticks, concealers, etc., pop them in the freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the tip to harden, that way you lose less product when sharpening and also prevents breakage!
