Whether you want to learn how to create the perfect wavy hair or brush up on

way to go when it’s hot and muggy outside.” – Mary Greenwell, celebrity makeup
artist
2. “The best
thing to do when you go to a makeup counter is be armed with what it is you
want to do.”- Raychel Wade, founder of Cheek to Chic and La Prairie’s colour
ambassador
3. Use excess
eye cream on cuticles. The more you hydrate your cuticles, the stronger your
nails will be.
4. “In order
to keep eyeliner from running and smearing, opt for liner formulas that offer
stayproof wearability.”- Robin Schoen, Urban Decay Makeup Artist
5. For
smudge-proof eye makeup, take
blotting tissue to remove any oil or any excess makeup from the eye area. Then,
apply a small dab of cream concealer to hold things in place.
6. “A good
perfume should consist of balanced blend of notes arranged in a way that
creates harmonious accord.”- Alexis Bergman, P&G’s Global Flavor and
Fragrance Trends
7. Breakout
before a big event? “Take oral cortisone a few days before the event to clear your
skin”- Ava Shamban, dermatologist and author of Heal Your Skin.
8. To prevent
hair color from fading in the summer months, use a conditioning treatment
weekly or bi-monthly.
10. “Make sure
you hydrate the skin and put on a primer”- Jessie Powers, makeup artist and
national educator for Make Up For Ever

out your shimmer. If you’re doing a shimmery eye, opt for a matte lipstick.”- Raychel
Wade, founder of Cheek to Chic and La Prairie’s colour ambassador
12. Brush out
your curls with your fingers to give your hair a more tousled look.
13. To make
your manicure last, apply a thin layer of clear every two days.
Pay particular attention to the free edge at the top of your nails, where chips
usually happen, and apply extra clear polish there.
15. “Take a
shimmery gloss to the center of your lips, top and bottom – this will attract
light to your lips, making them look pouty.”-Katrina Barrion, makeup artist for
Giella Custom Blend Cosmetics
16. For
slicked back hair, use a hair serum.
17. For the perfect
cat-eye, “select a thin liner brush that is tapered to the point.”-
Pamela Taylor, makeup artist. Use a gel eyeliner for extra staying power.
18. To make
your cheek bones appear higher, use bronzer under the
cheekbone and highlighter on the actual cheekbone, and remember to blend.
Contouring at its finest!
19. The #1
reason for flaky mascara is that the formula is too dry or old. Make sure to
close mascara after use to help keep its moisture. To extend the life a bit,
add 2-3 drops of saline solution into the tube and swirl the brush around.
20. To fake
clear skin when you notice a pimple, “Apply tea
tree oil as soon as you spot it”- Stephanie Flor, makeup artist.
21. When
choosing a red lipstick, you just want to remember to get one that looks good
with your undertone. If you have a warm undertone, then go for warmer reds, and
if you have a cool undertone, then go cooler.
22. Sunscreens
that claim to provide “all-day protection” and “water resistance” are not
reliable; don’t be fooled by these claims and reapply all sunscreens at least
every 2-3 hours.
23. During
summer, “Its easy to forget that feet can get sunburned. Be sure to apply
sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 50 when barefoot”- Dr. Leslie Campbell, DPM.
24. For
acne-free skin, look for a cleanser with salycilic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
25. When self-tanning, use a tanner
with a guide color. “It will give you instant color before the effect and it
will show you exactly where you put the color and where you may have missed”-
Sinead Norenius, founder of Beautisol.
26. “If you’re
afraid of red lipstick, I love putting it on and then blotting it off to wear
it as more of a stain”- Pat McGrath, makeup artist. Another way to make it less
intense? Apply with your fingertip instead of straight from the tube.
27. For the
summer months, you don’t want to be caked down in foundation, so try a tinted
moisturizer or BB cream instead.
28. Use
blotting papers to manage oil and shine in your T-Zone, “which are also great
for cleaning up around the eyes”- Rebecca Restrepo, makeup artist.
29. The
antihistamines in allergy medicine dry out the skin, so skip heavy foundation
during allergy season. Instead, use a tinted moisturizer.
30. Before you
blow dry, start with a volumizing spray or light gel to give the roots some
lift. Pull the brush up towards the ceiling to really boost volume.
31. For fuller lips, extend the
lip line using a flesh tone lip liner. Be careful not to go overboard, though!
32. To make
curls last, make sure hair is completely dry before you begin with the curling
iron. Also, use a heat protectant spray with hold on damp hair to keep hair
protected.
33. To make a
zit go away faster, don’t pick at it. The bacteria on your fingers will create
more redness, and any attempt at popping will make things worse.
34. Use an exfoliator to get rid of dead skin, but limit yourself to 2-3
times a week so you don’t dry out your skin. Use a gentler scrub on your face
and a coarser scrub on the rest of your body.

wash your makeup off before bed. “That morning-after look has never been a good
one, for anyone”- Rachel Adler, beauty director at Beauty High.

bronzer is a nightmare for pale skin”- Jason Ascher, resident beauty expert for
Barneys New York. Opt for an illuminating cream or light powder to get a glow.
37. Pick a
sulfate-free shampoo, as sulfates can be harsh and drying on the hair cuticle.
38.”Go for a
trim every 6-8 weeks to ensure you have no damaged ends making your hair look
unhealthy”- Nick Arrojo, Arrojo Studio (and the man who worked for seven years
changing lives on What Not To Wear).
39.”When you
wear a red lip it’s important that it stays exactly where you put it. Using a
long wearing lip pencil to create the perfect shape and a lip color are key to
having a perfect red
lip.”-Kristofer Buckle, celebrity makeup artist
40. To make
volume last all day, avoid running your fingers through hair. “Oil from your
hands can weigh down your roots leaving your hair flat at the end of the
day”-Tatum Neill, Arrojo Studio
41. Try to
avoid washing your hair everyday. Constant shampooing leaves hair dry and your
scalp will create more oils to compensate for the loss of moisture. Instead,
use a dry shampoo and style your hair into a braid or ponytail when it’s a bit more oily.
42. Always use
a moisturizer with SPF in the morning. Even in the winter!
43. Clean out
your makeup bag at least once a year to get rid of old products that may be
expired or you no longer use.

be especially harsh on your hair leaving it extra dry. Eugene Davis, celebrity

don’t have nail polish remover, apply clear nail polish over your nail, and
then wipe off. It will remove old polish.
46. During the
summer, wear lip balm or gloss with SPF.
47. To add
volume to clean or unwashed hair, use a dry shampoo spray..

applying bronzer, “first start by applying it around the perimeter of your face
and follow with a light dusting on your forehead, nose and chin”- Mally Roncal,
Mally Beauty.

clean your makeup brushes to fight against potential bacteria and breakouts! At
least once a week, swirl brushes around in a mixture of warm water and mild
soap, then lay flat to dry.
50. If you
have greasy hair, avoid directly conditioning roots and condition from your ear
down to ends.
51. To get
curls when you have straight hair, use, “a volumizer or volume thickening
agent, a curl enhancing product, light holding finishing spray”- Vicktor
Stevenson, Hair Stylist.
52. To clean
up the flick of a cat eye, use a dampened, pointed Q-tip.
53.To revive
curls mid-day, “Take a very small amount of pomade and put it in the palms of your hands. Rub them together. Next gently
smooth the pomade over your curls and scrunch just a little bit”-Eugene Davis,
celebrity hair stylist.
54.”Foundation
should never be heavy”- Aura Schwartz, makeup artist. Apply liquid foundation
with a damp makeup sponge for best results.
55.Change your
beauty routine for spring and summer months. Your skin needs less coverage
during the spring so you can swap the heavy, winter products for lighter ones.
56.”I always
think that less is more. There’s a point where you look in the mirror and say
‘Is this too much?’ and if you even have that inclination then it usually is.”
57.”The right
red [lipstick] will light up your hair, eyes and skin immediately, the wrong
one will not.”-Poppy King, Lipstick Queen.
58.”You should
always go to a hair-removal specialist, where waxing, laser etc. is their main
business – don’t go to a nail salon for a wax”- Cindy Barshop, Completely Bare
and Bravo’s RHONYC.
59.”A little
silvery-blue eyeliner on the lower lid is very flirty”- Dimitri James, makeup
artist, author and creator of Skinn Cosmetics.

concealer as a base on your eyelids”-Melissa Silver, Maybelline makeup artist.

instead of your lids, making it stay longer.
61. If you’re
not a fan of liquid liner, get the look of liquid eye liner by using a gel
instead.
62. Exfoliate
before applying self tanner to get rid of dead skin. Tanning products tend to
cling to dryer areas and rougher areas, like your knees and elbows, so make
sure they’re moisturized first.
63. If you
straighten your hair with a flat iron, cause less heat damage by letting hair
air dry. The less heat, the better!
64.To mask
split ends, use an iron to straighten ends and then apply a hair repair cream.
65. To
minimize pores, use a pore-minimizing facial wash followed by a toner. Make
sure the toner is alchohol-free so it won’t dry out your skin.
67. The
healthier you are, the healthier your hair! Take a daily multi-vitamin with
Biotin to help hair grow faster.
68. There are
always cheap, natural and effective homemade beauty recipes.
69. To fix brassy
hair color, use a color-depositing shampoo with purple tones. For unwanted
redness, use a color-depositer with a green tone.
70. To cover
up roots in a hurry, use a dry shampoo spray for your hair color. If you don’t
keep this product around, use eyeshadow (in a shade closest to your hair color)
for a quick fix.
71. Get a
“dewy glow” using a highlighter or illuminator above your cheekbones and on the
brow bone, just underneath your eyebrows.
72. Get quick
volume by using a root lifter, then use hairspray to set hair. This will
prevent it from falling flat during the day.
73. To contour
cheeks, use a matte powder (a few shades darker than your skin tone) with an
angled brush. Blend on temples and under cheek bone.
74. When using
a cream product (blush or eyeshadow), lock it in by using a translucent powder
over it.
75. For makeup
that lasts all day and night, use a makeup-sealing product like a setting
spray.
76. To help
you find the right shade of foundation, choose the product you think is closest
to your color and try it on your jawline in natural light. You will be able to
easily compare it to your neck’s color to see if you need to go for a different
undertone, lighter or darker.
77. Try out
the funky hair color trends without dyeing your hair. Instead, dust bright
blush in your ponytail for the same effect.
78. “Foot
perspiration is typical in the summer and can lead to fungal infection and
unwanted odor. Wash feet daily, and let them dry thoroughly before putting
shoes on”- Dr. Leslie Campbell, DPM.

too serious: It’s only Makeup! “- Francois NARS insists you play around with
new colors.

director for Elizabeth Arden.

in with the lashes.

items that are important to you.”If mascara is really your thing and you fall
in love with a mascara that’s $40, buy the mascara.”-Raychel Wade, founder of
Cheek to Chic and La Prairie’s colour ambassador.
86. When
buying “organic” beauty products, make sure to check if they are FDA certified
organic. This will prevent you from getting scammed.
