Beauty Quickie: When doing your beauty shopping never be afraid to flip over a product to know what exactly is in it. If you want to look your best, you have to use the best. Unfortunately, not all cleansers are created equal and some will give your skin more assistance than others. If you are in the market for a skin cleanser because you are prone to acne then always look for a product that contains benzoyl peroxide or salycilic acid.
This fall Urban Decay has it’s focus on your dashing little peepers. Therefore, if you are looking for a new mascara or long-lasting eyeliner then you will want to head on over to your local Sephora. The Urban Decay Little Perversion Kit for Fall 2014 comes in a nifty black bag equipped with Urban Decay’s new mascara, three water-proof eyeliners as well as the Subversion Lash Primer. So then, grab yourself a kit and get busy making your eyes the center of everyone’s attention.
Money certainly does not grow on trees, so getting the most out of your products is the goal of every beauty-lista. If you noticed that your mascara is starting to look flaky, chances are this is an old bottle that needs to be pitched. Mascara only flakes if it has dried out too much or is has outlived its shelf life.
To get the most out of your mascara always make sure that you replace the cap back on the bottle tightly. This will prevent any drying out of the product. Moreover, try adding 3 drops of saline solution to your tube of mascara to and mix it around with the wand. The saline can also help to extend the life of your favorite mascara formula.

Yes, you should proudly work what your mama gave you, but a little enhancement never hurt anyone either! In recent years contouring has become big makeup business due to its amazing transforming effects. Women used to need painful surgeries or treatments in order to achieve their ideal facial features. However, now with a brush and some know-how women can contour their way to their idea of perfection.
Naomi, Fatima and Iman are all supermodels that have amazing bone structure. Their high cheek bones are highly sought after and now you can contour your face so that it appears to have higher cheek bones. All you have to do is apply bronzer under the cheekbone then use highlighter on the cheekbone and blend well. Blending is half the battle to having a flawless look. Once blended you are ready for the catwalk or your selfie close-up!
Beauty Quickie: Extend the life of your manicure by applying a coat of clear nail polish once every two days. Apply a little extra product near the top of your nails where chips are more prone to develop.
Beauty Quickie: Prepping your skin for makeup is essential for achieving a flawless makeup look. Never ever skip hydrating your skin with moisturizer or priming it with a primer. Dry flaky skin will not allow makeup to lay nicely and primer will give your cosmetics a nice foundation to build upon and create a protective barrier between your skin and makeup.

Ah, the great blush debate as been going on for many years and seems to be ever changing. For instance, women have been told to only apply blush on the apple of their cheeks. just below or just above the cheek bones and even with the focus near the ears.

In modern times the Two Finger method has come in to play when applying the rosy stuff. What does the Two Finger method entail? When applying your blush shade of choice allow about two fingers width from your nose and this is where your blush should start.
