6 Basic Beauty Tips For Face

If you want brighter skin, it is very important to take care of the various aspects of skin care. As there are several things to cover, we have divided the article into various sub sections for your convenience. Feel free to skip to the section that is relevant to you.

Different skin types have different needs and endure different problems. It is important to identify your skin tone and take necessary action.

Beauty tips for oily skin

This is the most troublesome skin type to have. The troubles are countless, but when maintained right, this skin type can have a certain glow and charm that is breath taking.

Common troubles:

The common problems include coarse skin with enlarged visible pores and a dull appearance due to the over production of oil in the skin. This in turn gives a shiny and greasy sheen. Frequent acne and blemishes, blackheads, white heads and dark spots are also some of the common problems of oily skin.

Simple tips:

    Maintain a healthy diet including lots of raw veggies and fruits; avoid oily and junk food.
    Always keep your face clean. This helps in keeping away excessive oiliness and acne.

If you think oily skin is a pain, then let us tell you that having dry skin isn’t a walk in the park either. Dry skin gets very uncomfortable, especially in the winters and in extreme cold temperatures. This results in intense pain and unsightly appearance when not taken care of properly.

Common troubles:

Dry skin usually seems to have fine texture with dullness, but on a closer look there may be some flaky or granulated sections particularly around the corners of the mouth, eyes, and forehead. If neglected it will form wrinkles and become more brittle with age.

We’ve All Been Putting Our Makeup on the Wrong Way

Turns out, the order you apply each product is super important.

Believe it or not, when it comes to your makeup, the order you put things on is just as important as the products you use.

And surprisingly, face makeup shouldn’t actually be your first step. If your eye makeup somehow always migrates onto your face—causing you to have to take off your foundation and start from the beginning—there’s an easy fix for that: Start your makeup application with your eye makeup instead.

  "Eye shadow has a tendency to flake during application, especially when creating a smoky eye,” says Jennifer Fleming, a CoverGirl makeup artist.  “Starting with eyes ensures you won't need to reapply foundation and concealer.” Pretty genius, right? This trick will save you serious time getting ready.

And when it comes to your eye makeup, you should use eye shadow first, then eyeliner, which is used to layer your shadow and create more definition. However, "If you don't have a steady hand, you can apply eyeliner first and then blend eye shadow on top to soften the line," she says.

Put your mascara on last since "applying eye shadow [or liner] after [mascara] can cause the products to flake onto the lashes and cause clumps," says Fleming.

Then you can go about your business as usual, applying foundation, concealer, and powder. If you want a sun-kissed glow, dust on bronzer after powder since bronzer is meant to only add color to areas where the sun naturally hits (think hairline, temples, bridge of the nose, and cheekbones), says Fleming.

As for your lips, always apply lip liner before lipstick—it works as a primer and defines the lip’s shape, says Fleming.

11 Things Girls Who Are Addicted to Beauty Products Do But Will Never Admit To

Time to 'fess up.

Do you know your way around a Sephora better than the employees? And have you ever joked around that you should be on an episode of Hoarders because of how many makeup, skin-care, and hair products you own?

Don’t worry, there’s no shame in being obsessed with beauty products (we admit that we are, too). After all, using the right foundation or styling cream can instantly transform your look and make you feel more confident. So if beauty addict describes you, it's time to own up. Here are some of the hilariously wacky habits you’ve probably done more times than you can count (even though you've never opened up about them before):


1. You Buy Stuff Just to Get the Bonus Points at Sephora
You’re part of the VIB (that’s Very Important Beauty Insider, thank you very much) club for life.


2. You Buy Your Favorite Product in Mass Quantities Because You Heard a Rumor It Might Be Discontinued
You better believe no one else is getting their hands on that Maybelline mascara.


3. You Stalk eBay for Products That Have Already Been Discontinued
$60 for your favorite, no-longer-made drugstore powder is a total steal, right? Right?!

4. You Get Your Makeup Done at Sephora Before a Night Out
And you feel triumphant when you don't let a saleslady pressure you into buying anything.


5. You're a Little Too Attached to That Lip Gloss You’ve Used Once in the Last Five Years
You get sad when you think about tossing it. It might be full of germs, but it’s so pretty!

6. You Keep Multiples of the Same Product Everywhere
You have an EOS lip balm in your purse, your car, and your office desk drawer.


7. You Pack an Entire Suitcase Full of Products When You Travel
You just never know when a facial cleansing oil could come in handy. 

8. You’re the First One in Line at the MAC Store Whenever a Limited-Edition Collection Comes Out
Hello Kitty, Wonder Woman, Cinderella: You’ve got ‘em all.


9. You Plan Your Outfits Around Your Makeup
You truly believe eye shadow is the best accessory.

10. You Call a Shopping Spree at Sephora or ULTA a “Haul”
Because haul sounds so much better than credit card debt, doesn’t it?


11. Speaking of Money, You Spend Way More on Beauty Products Than You Do on Clothes—Or Food
Who needs a stocked fridge when you’ve got antioxidant-packed eye creams and moisturizers?

3 Things Every Girl With Curls Needs in Her Beauty Kit

Oh, curls. If you've got 'em, you've probably tried smoothing things out to see how the other side of the shaft lives. But times, they are a-changing. Globally, more of us have naturally curly hair. And "there's a newfound interest in authenticity," says psychologist Vivian Diller, Ph.D. "Curls tell people 'I'm real. I can let go.'" (We think she means losing the death grip on your flatiron.)

Still, some of us need a nudge. Inspiration: Dove's new "Love Your Curls" campaign encourages women to relish their above-the-neck curves. And last year, actress Halle Berry reportedly took her ex to court for straightening their daughter's hair.

When it's not making waves, this hair type is turning heads. So whether you were born curly or just wanna join the club, check out the April 2015 issue of Women's Health (on sale today!) for all the tips you'll need to rock a gorgeous mane.

In the meantime, here's the three must-haves every curly girl needs to spiral into control:

1. Diffuser: "It blows evenly dispersed air, not gusts of wind, so curls won't frizz or form flyaways," says hairstylist Tippi Shorter. Choose one with fingers, like Conair Pro Universal Tourmaline Finger Diffuser attachment ($10, sallybeauty.com), which cradles your curls and maintains their shape as they dry.

2. Microfiber towel: It's much softer than terry cloth or cotton, so it won't create friction that can cause fuzz. And since it absorbs more water from strands, it helps products penetrate better. Try DevaCurl DevaTowel ($12, devacurl.com).

3. Wide-tooth comb: Because a brush spells breakage for curls. We like Ouidad Double Detangler Comb ($26, ulta.com).

Bonus: Not born with bends? Suave Professionals Sea Mineral Infusion Moisturizing Body Shampoo and Conditioner ($3 each, at drugstores) can make texture easier to achieve.
