Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 16, 2017January 16, 2017Leave a Comment

Nowadays it seems like everyone is an expert makeup artist. We see videos of these gifted individuals on Youtube as well as all over SM. Even eight year olds have mastered contouring and the ultimate beat face. However, what about the rest of us? How can someone who hasn’t been blessed with steady hands beat the system? Well, there are several unconventional beauty methods that can be utilized in order to make your makeup application look just like Bey, flawless! Today, we are sharing the first of many, the plastic spoon.

Makeup Application Tip: Keep Things Less Messy With Plastic Spoon

Mascara can do wonders for your eyes but can get a little messy. Ever tried applying mascara to your bottom row of hairs? One issue that girls always talk about is the raccoon effect. Sometimes in an attempt to get those tiny hairs to submit and curl, application can lead to mascara transferring to skin under your eyes.

To prevent this beauty issue try using a plastic spoon during your next makeup application. Turn the spoon over so that the concave part will be facing your skin. Next, gently slide the spoon under your bottom lashes. Use the spoon as a shield then apply your mascara to your bottom lashes without getting on your face. Be careful not to go so high with the spoon that you risk poking an eye.

Nevertheless, with this simple trick you will be able to achieve a very clean, professional look. Moreover, you will also create lower lashes with more volume and fullness due to being able to apply a thicker coat of formula. Have fun ladies and here’s to cleaner makeup!

3 Most Important Tips to Applying Falsies

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 20, 2015October 20, 2015Leave a Comment

There is not one Instagram famous lady who doesn’t know her way around a tube a glue and a pair of falsies. False eyelashes have definitely come more in vogue due to the birth of the selfie, yet applying as well as getting them to stay in their lane can be a bit tricky. If you would rather avoid looking like a distant cousin of Cruella Deville, here are the 3 most important tips you should keep in mind when applying those falsies!

The Right Fit- Like a pair of jeans if the fit isn’t right you are in for one uncomfortable ride. Always make sure before gluing that the lash strip fits your lash line. Everyone has different eye shapes and lashes right out of the packaging will not always be the correct length. Therefore, it is essential to trim lashes to ensure that the strip does not extend past the outer corners of the lash line.
Wet is bad, Dry is Good- One of the main reasons that falsies come off is because they were applied to lids that were not clean surfaces. This means that concealer and shadow can not be in the way either. Such products can create a barrier between lash strips and the skin causing the adhesive to not work its magic thus making the strips lift. Always ensure that skin is completely dry or free of products that may get in the way of the glue being able to attach the lashes properly.
Less is More- It may be tempting to use more adhesive thinking that more product will equal more strength and staying power, but do not be fooled. Your face is not a 3rd grade science project and all that excess adhesive will most likely look like one big excessive mess. Always dab on a thin layer of glue beginning with the inner corner that will rest the closest to your nose. If you tend to add too much glue when you are free-handing it with the tube of glue, try applying adhesive to the lash strip using a Q-tip. The cotton swab will help to prevent too much adhesive from being applied to the falsies.

Beauty Question: What Happens When Your Mascara Grows Old?

Arianne Suggs October 12, 2015October 12, 2015Leave a Comment

Beauty Answer: It retires and goes to live a quiet life in the Bahamas, the end. If only our sense of humor had some truth to it in this regard but mascara doesn’t have such a fairy tale ending ladies. In fact, out of all the beauty products that you have in your possession, most likely your mascara will have the shortest shelf life. This means if you have had the same tube for awhile it may just be time to lay it to rest.

“Well, my mascara works just fine and I have had it for months!” We are sure there are some that feel that way but ponder on these next few facts. Mascara’s performance can be affected by outside temperatures so it is important to make sure your tube avoids extreme cold and heat. Moreover, over time mascara ingredients start to oxidize and degrade. Degradation means that compounds in the formula will break down and the product’s strength or intensity will fade.

Such degrading can lead to dried up formula and the causing of flakes. A look that you definitely do not want to rock in public. So then, how long should mascara be kept after purchase? Every three to four months your mascara should be tossed in favor of a newer one.

Beauty Question: How Long Does It Take to Grow Eyelashes Naturally?

Arianne Suggs June 1, 2015June 1, 2015Leave a Comment

Beauty Answer: With a good regimen changes and results should be noticeable within 2-3 months. Just like with regular hair (or hair which grows from the scalp) everyone is different and for some the process can be quicker or slower. The key is consistency and realizing that lashes need a little attention on a daily basis. Eyelash growth treatments, serums and lash conditioners help to stimulate your eyelash growth cycle so that lashes grow in thicker, longer and darker.

Cheap Can Be Chic: Here’s a little trick if lash conditioners are not quite in the budget at the moment. Buy a moisturizing lip balm and apply a little to your lashes every night.

Set Mascara in a Flash

Arianne Suggs April 30, 2015April 30, 2015Leave a Comment

Beauty Quickie: Mascara should only be found on your eyelashes but it always seems to find its way elsewhere i.e. on eyelids and the under eye area. Prevent this by making sure your mascara is set and dry. Set mascara by using the cool setting on your hair dryer and give lashes a quick blast of air.
