**Reveal Your Beauty Secret!**

I'll start...

....i use an old (but clean) mascara wand, and brush on a bit of petruleum (sp) jelly on my eye lashes before coating them with mascara....it makes the mascara glide on, seperating lashes, and definately makes them look a lot longer!

good bronzer

Re: **Reveal Your Beauty Secret!**

I mix a bit of foundation with a bit of moisturizer and get sheer coverage.

I also hold my mascara want vertically. I get fewer clumps.

Re: **Reveal Your Beauty Secret!**

I use cheap cover girl clear mascara as brow gel instead of buying expensive brow gel.

I use the old school Queen Helene green face mask at least once a week -- this stuff is great. You have to look on the bottom shelf in drugstores for it.

Pssst dry shampoo is a girls' best friend.

Re: **Reveal Your Beauty Secret!**

I keep vaseline or aquaphor on my nightstand-great for rough feet, lips, if you forget eye moisterizer etc.

I sometimes use eyeshadows with clear lipglooss to make new lipgloss colors

Re: **Reveal Your Beauty Secret!**

Stay out of the tanning booths & limit my sun exposure.

Summer of 08 I was pregnant
Summer 09 went so fast I didn't have time to enjoy what sunshine we did have.
So for the past 2 summers I didn't get much sun
My skin looks great though.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub
TresSemme Shampoo / Conditioners
I never use a base coat on my nailpolish to make manicure last longer.

Mix pure vitamin E with my moisturizer at night on my face and hands. Wake up with gorgeous soft skin.

Baby lotion for my face!!!!

Re: **Reveal Your Beauty Secret!**

Stay out of the sun and no tanning booths. Embrace your natural skin color. Use sunscreen.

Lots of sleep. Lots of water. Take a multi vitamin.

Exercise and stay away from processed foods.

Put some of your compact powder on a Q-tip.. gently rub the q-tip w/powder under you eyeliner that you have applied for the day.. this will help keep your eyeliner from running down.

Keeping your face hydrated is key to anti-aging. After a shower when face is still wet put a little safflower oil on.. let is sit in and let your face air dry.

Sticky base coat (by Creative) for nails- Girls if you get this stuff your nails won't chip.

Mac base for the your eye shadow. I had the worst time getting my eye shadow to stay on all day, but since I have been using this stuff by Mac it really works.

Put some white eye shadow on the top of your eye under the brow.. it will brighten you up and make you look much more awake.

Anyone have any tips for keeping lipgloss on longer than 10 minutes..lol I hate lipgloss :)

I have one more.. After applying your last coat of nail polish (top coat over color).. wait about 2 minutes and run nails under freezing cold water in sink.. this will instantly dry your nails.. you can also put a bowl of ice water and just place your nails in there..

I use OPI drip dry (stuff is awesome and dries your nails in 5 minutes) but the water trick works also.

i've also found panoxyl acne medicine works better than anything! even retin a!

very drying though but works wonders and is relatively cheap.

if you use a curling iron for loose curls, i curl them, release iron, and wait 10 minutes before running my fingers through them. (i saw this on a video once) it reduces frizz and lets curls be more defined.

Evoclin and Finacea for pimples - I now have none

St. Ives apricot scrub

Re: **Reveal Your Beauty Secret!**

black eyeliner on the top lid and brown on the bottom (or any combo of dark and lighter shades) make eyes look wider.

blue based lip colors for whiter looking teeth

make lipstick last:
-apply lipcolor
-then line and fill lips with pencil
-peel a 2-ply tissue apart (tp also works)
-drape the 1-ply piece over lips and dust with setting powder
-remove tissue
-reapply lipstick
-gloss over if desired

or use a lipstain + gloss

Laura Geller Double Eye Appeal



I line my lower inner eyelid with the nude pencil and do under my brow and in the corners of my eyes with the shimmer highlighter. It makes me look wide awake. I love this stuff. I've tried other nude pencils but this one is the bomb.
