If you want your lips to look bigger, put some white eyeshadow that has has a shimmer right above the area called “cupid’s bow” in the middle of your upper lip. Highlighting this area of your lip so that it catches and reflects the light helps to create the illusion that your upper lip is fuller than it really is.
Wash your face before going to sleep. This will remove all the impurities and dirt from the day. Use a makeup remover first, to remove your makeup, then use a face wash. If you don’t cleanse your face before bed, your pores can get clogged and cause pimples or spots.
Exfoliate your face and neck at least 2 times a week. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and bring new skin cells to the surface. This will make you look healthy and refreshed when you do this, but you should avoid doing it too much because it can irritate your face.
Emphasize the sharpness of your cheekbones by applying a shade of powder blush that is one shade deeper than your normal cheek color product. Using a blush brush, dab on a spot of the powder in the hollows of your cheeks just under the cheekbones. Remove excess powder, then blend in a circular motion.
Since unwanted facial hair can be embarrassing, remove it. You can easily do this yourself by using wax or tweezers. Or, you can have it done at a salon by a professional. Either way is an easy solution to help you feel better about your appearance.
Remove the arch from your eyebrows if you have a problem with dark circles under your eyes. The arch in your eyebrows can create a circular look around your eyes. This can exaggerate any dark circles you might already have. To remedy this, just tweeze your eyebrows so that they are straighter.
When you are putting on eyeshadow look down through the mirror. Pulling on or applying pressure to your eyelids is not a good idea. Make it easy to apply your shadow right on the first attempt by lowering your gaze and then applying your makeup. You will be able to view your eyelid clearly without touching them.
By taking 10 minutes a week to care for your nails it will help your appearance greatly. This is especially true for men, who very often neglect their nails and cuticles. A little regular maintenance results in much-improved hands. At the very least, nails should be cleaned thoroughly; they should be moisturized; and the cuticles should be gently pushed back.

Flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can harm and break your hair whenever you use them on a constant basis. Simply allowing your hair to air-dry a few times per week can help your hair recover from this harm.
If you find that your feet are dry and scaly looking and feeling, try using a petroleum jelly product to treat them. Apply a generous amount on your feet and cover them with thick socks at night before you go to bed. Your feet will absorb the moisture out of the petroleum jelly and will quickly look and feel much better.
Using layered makeup application, you can make your eyes appear larger than they are. You would first apply primer, then follow with your foundation and powder. Once you have your base applied, add some highlight powder to the edges of your eyes. Using a pencil-style liner, line the upper lash line, smudging it upward. This has the effect of opening your eyes and making them appear larger.
