Well-known makeup artist and author of three best sellers on beauty, Bobbi Brown, offers these beauty tips. Check it out.
- Conceal It. Brown recommends using a concealer to get immediate and dramatic results. Concealers lighten dark circles while brightening the face. The result? The appearance of a well-rested woman! Brown suggests using a creamy formula that's yellow-based and one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. Apply the concealer with either the brush or your fingertips. Apply under the eyes, up to the lash lines and at the innermost corner of the eyes. Pat it smooth with your fingers and then lightly brush on powder.
- Tub Time. One of the best beauty tips is to simply spend some time relaxing in the tub. As a matter of fact, studies have proven the connection between stress and acne, as well as stress and wrinkles. So, consider time in the tub to be a must! Add some relaxing bath oils, clear your mind and truly connect with your inner beauty as you pamper both mind and body.
- Essential Oil. We often associate oily skin with acne when in reality oil is essential for healthy, elastic skin. Remember that your skin is your body's largest organ, so what you rub into your skin will permeate into your body. Be a moisturizing snob. Ingredients such as organic sesame, organic sweet almond, or organic olive oils all boost and restore the natural levels of lipids in dry skin. These oils also make great make-up removers.
- Sun Matters. While we all need to ensure we get proper sun exposure for vitamin D, be careful not to get too much. Always wear protective clothing and a hat when you will be exposed to the sun for long periods of time. If you choose to wear a sunblock, be sure to invest in an all-natural cream to avoid over-exposing your skin to chemicals.
- Au Naturale. Wear a lipstick color that actually looks nice on your bare face. Brown explains that, "The trick is to use the true color of your lips as inspiration." She recommends choosing a color that looks like your real lip color just slightly more emphasized.
