For Teen : Beauty secrets you should know

Skip The Foundation If you have acne the first thing you want to do is slather on the thick foundation. Don't. Foundation is for Women over 35. Not only it will cover up your natural beauty, but when teenagers use foundation it will looks anything but natural. Teen can cover up blemishes with concealer, then follow with a powder or tinted moisturizer. Tinted moisturizer is more light than foundation.

You pat concealer in, you never rub it in When applying concealer, put a bit on the pad of your middle finger and pat it in. Never rub. If you got acne? you can pat the concealer on top of it.

Play up your lips or your eyes, never both If you are wearing heavy eye makeup, go for nude lips with just a bit of gloss. Prefer the drama of dark lipstick? Keep face light (stay away from heavy blush) and wear only mascara on your eyes and a light eyeshadow. Don't heavily line your eyes. Play up both and you'll look like a clown.

Less is more Ever notice how some of your friends look best with no makeup at all? No matter your age, too much makeup makes you look worse. If you wear foundation, powder, blush, liner, mascara, eyeshadow, lip liner and gloss on an everyday basis, then you're overdoing it. Tone it down: All you really need is a great mascara, concealer for blemishes and gloss. Add a pop of blush in winter

Natural hair is always hot If you have super dark hair, lighten your look by going a shade darker or getting lighter highlights. Blonde? Try highlights, especially framing the face. We see too many teens lightening their hair several shades and the look can be super-tacky, not super-fabulous. The trick is to let people assume you were born with sun-kissed hair, not that you gave yourself a bad dye job from a bottle.

Vaseline is your best friend Vaseline is a great, cheap eye makeup remover. It's also great for fixing chapped, scaly lips. Slather on a bunch of Vaseline, then use a toothbrush to massage lips. Wipe the excess off on a tissue. Your lips will be smooth and soft.

You can never go wrong with layers Long layers are great for any hair type: Super curly, straight or wavy. It makes thin hair appear thicker, curly hair appear manageable and wavy hair appear just-got-back-from-the-beach sexy. Just make sure you don't get too many layers cut in. Too many short layers is dated.

Acne? Get thee to a dermatologist, stat Biggest mistake people with acne make? Not going to a dermatologist. Forget those $150 jeans you covet. Getting rid of those pimples will be the best investment you'll ever make. And the only guaranteed way to do it is with a dermatologist.

Buying foundation or lipstick? Test it first There are some beauty products you simply must try out at a department store or Sephora before you buy. These include: Foundation, lipstick, blush and powder.Buy these products in a grocery store and you'll be lucky if you picked the right color for your skin tone. What you can get away with without testing: Mascara, eye liner, most basic eye shadows and lip gloss.

When can you skip sunscreen ? Never Here's a trick we wish we knew: The first beauty product you should apply every day is sunscreen, even if it's cloudy or rainy outside. Why? Good habits start young and if you use sunscreen now, you'll have gorgeous skin when you're 50, 60, 70. Remember, the sun's UV rays can penetrate clouds and car windows.

Wrapping hair around the barrel creates waves There's nothing cooler than long, layered waves. To get them, wind hair AROUND the barrel of a large curling iron. Reverse direction for each 2-inch section (wind up for one, down for another).

Self-tanner will always stink Unfortunately, even the best ones smell. Your best bet is to apply self-tanner a good 24 hours before an important event and take a shower (don't loofah) to wash off any smell. For really big events like a dance or wedding, consider a professional spray tan. These are pricey and don't last long, so make sure to do it a day before the big event.

Don't let nails go Not into manicures and pedicures? No worries. Just make sure to keep nails clean and the same length. If you do want to paint them, don't keep the polish on until half of it's chipped away. Also, there's nothing worse than too-long toenails. Keep nails clipped between pedicures! People tend to judge others by the care they put into their hands and feet.

Don't line the inside of your eyes It will make your eyes appear smaller. Instead, line just at the lash line. Also, an obvious line doesn't look natural. Smudge the line just a bit.

Oily hair? Invest in a dry shampoo If you have blonde hair, sprinkling a bit of baby powder on your roots and at your crown will soak up excess oils. If you have brown hair, you might be better off with a dry shampoo for your hair color.

Know your best feature and play it up What feature do people comment on most? Play it up. If you're told you have Angelina Jolie lips, make sure to wear gloss and play with bold lipstick colors. If it's your eye color people love, find eyeshadow colors that complement them and make sure to wear mascara. Also, know what color shirts look best on you and go shopping.

Scrubs are great for dry skin If you have dry, itchy skin in winter, invest in a scrub and handmitts and scrub away in the bathtub. Make sure to slather on a thick moisturizer afterward. For dry, callousy feet, buy a pumice stone. They work better than any of the other wimpy options on the market.

Remember: Beauty is mostly internal Think about a girl you know who's overweight yet all the guys love her. Why? Because she's confident. If you aren't wearing makeup and your toes haven't been repainted in weeks, if you're happy and smiling you will still be 10 times prettier than the mopey cheerleader sitting next to you in class. Trust us (wink).

What Foundation that Best for You

It really depends on the condition of your skin and what kind of coverage your want.

The advantages of a liquid foundation? A liquid foundation tends to blend easily and offers a wide range of coverage from sheer to full coverage. If you have oily skin remember to use an oil free liquid and an illuminating one if you have dull or dry skin. If you need to cover breakout you should use a highly pigmented foundation.

The advantages of a stick foundation? Stick foundation is excellent for spot coverage on the chin or around your nose

The advantages of a cream foundation? If you are looking for more coverage and a longer lasting foundation use a cream foundation. You can keep if from looking too heavy by using a foundation brush to apply it which will spread it lightly.

The advantages of powder and mousse foundations? Both will give you lighter coverage and look best on clear and evenly pigmented skin.

How do I find the perfect shade of foundation? Go to the department store and try a few swipes of different shades on your jaw line and go outside with a pocket mirror and see which one blends seamlessly into your skin.

5 Quick Ways to get Volume to your Hair

Ah…the age old question, how does one get mega volume? It can be hard at times, but thankfully there are hundreds of different ways to give your mane a boost, and, sometimes, the quickest ways are the best!

1.The 30 Second Quick Fix

I don’t know about you guys, but I always carry a travel-sized hairspray in my bag (along with everything else). Just pick up a cheap travel-sized spray from the dollar store and throw it in your bag! When your hair needs a quick pick-me-up just flip your hair upside down, spray once or twice at the roots and rake your fingers gently over your top tresses to keep the volume.

2. The Backcomb

No, DON’T do like Snookie, that type of teasing is just trashy, so instead, just tease your roots all around the crown (no more than 3 layers) and smooth on a anti-frizz to keep your hair shiny and voluminous at the same time.

3. Root Boosters

Root boosting sprays are available everywhere now, and one of my favorites is John Frieda’s Luxurious Volume Root Booster because it gives amazing volume without weighing your hair down or greasing it. Just spray it onto towel-dried roots, blowdry upside down and watch as your hair transforms from limp to mega volume!

4. Pile it Up

Another quick way to get volume is to flip your hair upside down, spray on a lightweight hairspray and, while your head is still down, gather all your strands at the top of your head and secure them with bobby pins. Let them sit for about 10 minutes and unravel your big, gorgeous mane!

5. Bump Its?

Ok, so this last one is a little iffy, and I have to admit when I first saw these plastic hair bumps I was turned off a little, but after my friend lent me hers to try it out, they actually weren’t bad! Sure, I wouldn’t use these everyday just because I would feel weird, but if you’re just heading out for a few drinks and don’t have time to do your hair, they’re perfect! Just place them underneath your hair at the crown and you’ll see a nice big bump which actually doesn’t look fake at all!

And don’t forget to use a thickening/volumizing shampoo, conditioner, and mousse for even more volume!

Smokey Eyes Tips for Summer

During the humid months, you might not want to go on the super dark side with the smoky eye, but you can play with different looks for a summery smoky eye. I love this summery smoky eye because it incorporates a shimmery, earthy tones that look natural but still dramatic. So here’s how to get the look!

Start off with a clean lid and apply a primer to hold everything in place. Swipe on a shimmery champagne shadow to your lid. For the crease, use a dark brown shadow and use a blending brush to blend it all in. Add more color if you need to.

Finish off by lining top and bottom lashes with either a black or brown pencil liner. I usually like to use black, but during the day I’ll stick to brown. Finish off with four coats of mascara and you’re all set. If you’re thinking four coats are too many, you can cut back, but remember this is still a smoky eye so you might want to try it out first!

Perfect Swimsuit for you

We can’t all wear the same style swimsuits because unfortunately, we all have different shaped bodies. And as much as I would love to pull off some sexy, exotic swimsuits I see on the runways, I have to come to terms that I am not that tall, nor that skinny – so I have to find a swimsuit that fits my shape, not someone elses. Keep reading to see which swimsuit best suits your figure!

Problem #1: Small Bust

We’re not all blessed with a bountiful bust, so we have to make do with whatever we have. To hide a small bust, wear swimsuits with padding (just make sure they look ok once you get wet!), ruffles to add more volume, and prints to distract from the problem area. Also, make sure the colors work in your favor too! Pair a dark bottom with a bright top to make it work.

Problem #2: Large Bust

If you find that you’re spilling out everywhere, you may need to rethink your swimsuit. Did you know that swimsuits actually run 2 sizes smaller than regular clothing? So with that in mind, choose a swimsuit with a built-in bra or an underwire to avoid spillage. Stay away from bandeaus, keyhole, string bikinis and demi-bra styles.

Problem #3: Belly Bulge

One of the most common swimsuit problems is the belly bulge. Choose a plunging-halter suit which will draw the attention away from the bulge. You can also go with something that has a pattern or some sort of detail at the mid-section to draw the eye away. You can also look for swimsuits with built-up tummy control as well as tankinis. But just stay away from the bikinis.

Problem #4: Thick Thighs

To hide thick thighs, go for swimsuits with a high cut on the leg, which will make your legs look longer and slim your thighs. Also, stay away from shorts as they actually tend to make your thighs and butt look bigger. Instead, draw the attention away with a colorful or embelished top. Also, you can mix your bikini pieces by putting the darkest on the bottom and the lighter color on top.
