Sugary Kisses!

Neglecting your overall appearance.

Even if nobody is going to see you, good hygiene and your overall appearance
plays a large role in your self-esteem.

Bad oral hygiene

You may not notice your teeth because your not looking at them, but your
smile is one of the first things people notice about you. Keep your teeth
brushed and flossed. It’s healthy and attractive.

Forgetting your hands.

Soften your hands with lotion and keep your fingernails clean. Top this
off with a great manicure. If you have beautiful rings, why put them on
mangy hands?

Over-plucking your eyebrows.
Don’t get carried away when plucking your eyebrows. Take your time and buy
an eyebrow stencil if necessary. If you make a mistake, use an eyebrow or
eyeliner pencil the same color as your eyebrows to fill in sparse areas.

Top Make-up Blunders

Heavy foundation or overall too much make-up.
If your foundation and other make-up is applied to heavily, it will cheapen
your look, clog your pores, and accentuate fine lines and wrinkles.

Not blending in your make-up.
Always blend in your make-up to soften those lines. Foundation, eye shadow
and blush all need to be smoothed in for a natural look.

Not cleaning your make-up applicators and brushes.

Applicators and brushes should be cleaned at least bi-weekly. Oil and bacteria
build-up can wreak havoc. If you’re prone to pimples, you’ll be surprised
how much this strategy works.

Using too dark lip liner.
Don’t use lip liner that is darker or lighter than your lips. When the lipstick
wears off, you’re left with a dark ring around your mouth. Try using lip
liner that matches your lips and fill in your entire lip area.

Leaving make-up on overnight.
We’ve all done this, but at what cost? Leaving make-up on for long periods
of time clogs your pores and makes you more prone to blemishes. Don’t do
it, you’ll feel better.

Crooked, uneven liquid eyeliner.

If you choose to use liquid eyeliner, the trick is practice and a steady
hand. If you can’t keep your lines even, opt for an eye liner pencil.

Common Hair Mistakes

Dark roots.
If you color your hair, plan on maintenance. This means touching up your
roots as they grow out.

Pulling your hair back too tight.
Leave some slack when pulling your hair back into a pony tail or bun. If
it’s too tight, it looks strict and may even give you a headache.

Thinking the hair color sample on the box will give you the same results.
Many factors play into the outcome of your hair color.
Perms, other processing, and the amount of time you leave it
in will all make a difference. If your hair doesn’t match the box’s sample
color when you’re done, it’s probably because the model has a different
natural hair color than your own.
