Timeless Beauty Tips (by Woman's Day) part 1

Came across this from yahoo. Posted by Woman's Day. I will split this into 3 posts. I just want to share this because I think this is of use to some ladies out there.

Gorgeous Hair
  • Camouflage roots by zigzagging your part rather than making it straight.
  • Brush hair from roots to ends nightly. This distributes natural oils throughout the shaft and gives hair a healthy sheen.
  • Be direct when telling your hairstylist what you want, and bring photos from magazine of the style you like.
  • Doing hair color yourself? Don't make too drastic a change. Stay within one or two shades of your natural color.
  • Comb wet hair like the pros: Hold a handful at a time, and work from center to ends, then scalp to center.

Beautiful Brows
  • Soften skin before tweezing by dabbing with a cotton ball soaked in warm water or cream.
  • Tweeze in the direction the hair grows.
  • Don't change the place where your brows peak and never pencil the whole brow. Instead, only fill in holes.
  • Use only the side of a sharpened brow pencil - not the pointed tip - so as not to draw a hard line.
  • For unruly brows, apply hairspray to an old toothbrush, then brush brows upward and outward.

Bright Eyes
  • Treat your eye area gently. This is the most delicate part of your face. Cleanse with care; never blot, never rub.
  • Reduce puffy eyes by splashing with cold water or applying a cold compress (ice cubes in a washcloth): 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off.
  • When you put on mascara, don't lower your chin - that's how mascara gets on your lid.
  • Get eyeshadow to stay in place by priming lids with moisturizer and foundation.
  • Always use your ring finger to apply moisturizer or concealer to the eye area. It puts the least amount of pressure on the skin.
