Unique and "Do It Yourself" Beauty Tips

Some of these tips may not be your cup of tea, but I found most of them rather interesting!

* To minimize pores and to soften your skin, apply a beaten egg yolk to your face and let dry for 10 minutes, then rinse well with warm water.

* A great way to make your perfume last all day, is to spray it into your hands and rub it on your hair. Your hair doesn't sweat so the scent will stay with you.

* For bigger eyes, apply darker eyeliner on the outer corner of your eyes and brighter eyeliner on the inner corner of your eyes.

* Rub a dry body brush in a circular motion on your stomach and legs everyday before you shower. This increases the circulation in your body and helps reduce the appearance of cellulite.

* After applying lipstick, stick your thumb in your moth and then slowly pull it out. This removes any lipstick from the inside rim of your lips so you don't get lipstick on your teeth.

* If you have big lips, use muted colors, such as purples, browns and bronzes. If you have small lips, avoid dark colors.

* After you have done all your makeup, take some shimmery white eyeshadow and put a tiny bit on the inner corners of your eyes. It really make them POP!

* To soften your skin, take an avocado, smash it in a bowl, rub it all over your body and let set for 20 minutes before washing it off. Avocado is a natural moisturizer.

* For added glow and radiance to your face, mix honey and milk until it's creamy. Wash your face with hot water to open pores. Apply the mixture avoiding the T area, wait 30 minutes and wash it off with cold water.

* To remove blackheads, steam 5 minutes and exfoliate immediately.

* Rub vaseline on your eyelashes. Smear it in between every single lash and around your lash line. If you do this everyday, it will eventually make your lashes grow in faster and softer.

* If your hairline starts to look greasy, dip a makeup brush into loose powder. Tap the brush once on the back of your hand to remove excess, then dust it over your roots. The powder will soak up the oils and blend into your strands. No one will know you didn't take your daily shower!

* To help keep eyebrows hydrated and get rid of those icky white specks that resemble dandruff, rub any good eye cream through them.

* Mix a little body bronzer with regular hand lotion and pat on your arms and legs for a gradual sunless tan.

Let me know if you're successful in using any of these tips!
