Do you have a fixed beauty routine every morning? Or do you have other fixed routines in personal care? Maybe there are a few secrets you didn’t know yet, but that really make a difference! Ingrid shares some beauty secrets you definitely don’t want to miss! Keep reading!
TIP 1 | GET IT IN SHAPE
The first little secret we want to share with you.. Get your eyebrows in shape by using hairspray and an old toothbrush. You’re probably thinking: how!? Spray an old toothbrush or a eyebrow brush spray with hairspray and then brush your eyebrows into shape! This way you’re sure to have your brows on fleek all day long.
And did you know this tip is also super handy for those annoying frizzy baby hairs? Use it the same way, but on your small hairs. This way you keep them flawlessly under control too!
Pssst.. we have a little extra secret! Do you find it hard to shape your eyebrows? Or do you feel they are very thin? Brush the hairs of your eyebrows slightly upwards. This makes your eyebrows look fuller and more even!
This is probably the beauty trick of the year! Lipstick is a timeless classic that looks beautiful on your lips. It often boosts your confidence and femininity, but did you know it’s also perfect to use as blush? You can turn your lipstick into a cream blush. For example, you can choose the same colors for your lips and cheeks. So if you go for red lips, apply the same color to your cheeks!
How to use:
Use a concealer or foundation to create an even complexion. Then use your fingertips to apply a small amount of lipstick to your cheeks. Dab gently to avoid getting lipstick where you don’t want it. And don’t forget: less is more, so don’t use too much!
Not a fan of a winter coat on your legs? Then of course you want those super smooth legs everyone dreams of! We now have the life-changing hack that makes your legs even softer and smoother: use conditioner!
Conditioner softens the hair on your legs, making shaving super easy. Plus, it gives your skin an extra soft feeling! Let the conditioner sit a little longer so it has a chance to fully absorb all the nourishing ingredients.
This tip is also perfect for on vacation, because then you only need to take one product instead of two. You wish you knew this earlier!
TIP 4 | PREVENT YOUR MASCARA FROM DRYING OUT
It’s one of the most common mistakes: pumping the mascara brush in the tube. We understand it can be frustrating when there’s too little mascara on your brush. That’s why we often try to get extra mascara on the brush by “pumping” it up and down a few times. It might work well, but it’s definitely not good for your mascara!
When you open the bottle, some air always gets into the mascara, but when you move the brush up and down a few times, the amount of air increases because the brush brings air inside. This causes your mascara to dry out faster and bacteria can get in more easily. Such a shame, right!? It’s better to open the mascara and swipe the brush along the edges inside the tube a few times. This way you pick up more mascara and can get started on that dazzling eye look!
Tired of having thin lips? With a neutral-toned lip liner, you can slightly enlarge your lip line. Apply the lip liner gently around your lips and be careful not to overdo it. Then apply the lipstick to your lips and also carefully follow the lip line you drew. This way you give your lips a bit more volume! You could also try applying cinnamon oil to your lips every night before going to sleep. Some sources say this gives you fuller lips! Worth the try!?
One more little tip if you like to wear lipstick but sometimes suffer from dry and flaky lips. This is obviously something you really don’t want when wearing lipstick! To make sure your lips are in perfect condition, it’s good to scrub your lips occasionally. Apply a lip balm on your lips and use a toothbrush to (gently) scrub your lips. Please be gentle!
