Beauty Tips 101

Happy Friday, everyone!

There are definitely thousands of different beauty tips for everyone since we are all different, but these are ones I have come up with that helped me improve my skills and routine.

Skin Care

Since we are starting to get into the fall/winter season, hydration and moisturizer is KEY! I don’t know about you, but when it comes to the colder weather, sometimes I space out on drinking water because I get so cold I just want a warm drink. Drink lots of water to keep your skin and yourself hydrated! I recently purchased a refillable water bottle that has a time marking I find super helpful.

Our faces build up sweat and dirt daily, so having a go-to cleaner is essential regardless of your skin type. Exfoliating weekly leaves your skin smooth and helps scrub off dead skin cells. I personally like to exfoliate 2 or 3 times weekly with DIY scrubs, but depending on how sensitive your skin type is, you may want to do the same or less.

Makeup

If you are just starting out with makeup, the go-top starter kit would be:

• Concealer
• Mascara
• Blush
• Eyeliner

I definitely started out small, then gradually built up my collection with foundations, eyeshadow palettes, bronzer, etc.

When I first started with makeup, I struggled with getting the perfect blended shadow. The best thing is using a clean dry brush. Of course, start with your favorite eye primer, and then apply your shadow to your eyelid in small circular motions. Then comes the trick! Take a clean, dry brush and continue to blend that color still using a small circular motion to the upper eye to create the perfect blended look.
