For ages, women have spent a fortune on looking their beautiful best. From Cleopatra’s legendary honey and milk bath to the botox used by celebrity fashion models and actresses, every woman in the world seems to be in the rat race to achieve the elusive concept of perfect beauty. However, beauty is much more than just makeup and hoarding expensive cosmetics. As a matter of fact, beauty is about looking as well as feeling good about yourself. On the flip side, contrary to the popular myth, beauty is also not always about what you’re born with, but rather what you do with it. It may sound cliched, but sometimes women need a push in the right direction to step-up the beauty regimen and see the results. Here are some beauty tips for women that ensures that they look gorgeous throughout the day without having to spend a fortune on beauty salons.

Facial Beauty Tips for Women

You can splurge as much money as you want on buying cosmetics, but a rough, pimpled and dull skin can be a real beauty spoiler. The best facial skin care routine to keep your face soft and glowing is to maintain a daily cleansing, toning and moisturizing regime. Okay, I forgot to add in the exfoliating part to it, which is imperative, unless you want to end up with accumulation of dead skin in your face!

Cleansing
Cleansing your skin is the first part of your daily skin care routine. Choose a cleanser based on your skin type (oily, combination or dry). Avoid the bar soaps as they tend to dry the skin and instead select a creamy cleanser if you have dry skin, or a cleanser without oil, if you have oily skin. A strict no-no is the use of very hot or cold water and cleansing too often. For all those women who do not clean their skin regularly, at least take off that makeup girl!

Exfoliation
Exfoliating the skin is a must for removing the top layer of dead skin cells that tend to dull your complexion. Use gentle scrubs with tiny grains or any of the over-the-counter peels for the task. You can follow this up with a homemade face pack.

Toning and Moisturizing
Follow up with wiping your face with a toner for removing all remaining traces of oil, makeup and dirt. Lastly use a moisturizer to seal in the pores which irrespective of your skin type is a basic part of facial care. Also remember that before you move out of the house apply a sunscreen for protection against the harmful UV rays of the sun.

Hair Care Tips

Your hair is a reflection of your health and personality. Beautiful, shiny locks signify your inner health and well-being along with proper hair care. Neglecting your hair can lead to dry brittle hair, split-ends, hair loss, dandruff due to exposure to the dirt and environmental pollution. Here are a few tips to keep your hair shining and beautiful.

Diet
The best hair masks in the world cannot replace a well-balanced diet, rich in silica, calcium and iron, will help reduce or prevent hair loss.

Washing Routine
Based on your hair type, a cleansing routine has to be determined. While some may need to shampoo daily, others every other day while some may need to wash their hair once a week.

Drying and Combing
Please air dry your hair if you can instead of using the blow dryer. The strong heat of the blow dryer can damage the hair and rid them of moisture making them look rough and lifeless. While combing your hair separate hair into small sections and untangle them with a wide-tooth comb. Carefully work from the ends in a downward direction only using a wooden or tortoise shell comb. Remember to brush your hair only when it is dry as wet hair is prone to breakage.

Hand and Foot Care Tips

This is apparently the most neglected and yet the most important part of a beauty routine. Most people concentrate only on face related beauty tips, while forgetting to take good care of their feet and hands. The condition of the hands and feet depends on the care you give them. Here are some tips for appropriate hand and foot care.

Hand Care
After a bath, massage your hands with a lubricating cream. For those riddled with annoying problems like chipping, splitting, peeling and cracking, get into the habit of giving yourself a weekly manicure, which will make your hands look good. Nails that persistently split and chip, need to be strengthened by regular use of one of the many nail hardeners in the market. For treating coarse, rough skin of the hands, apply cream lavishly at bed time and go to sleep with cotton gloves on.

Foot care
To take care of your feet remove polish from the toenail. In a tub full of warm water, add some bath salts and one tablespoon of olive oil. Soak in your feet for 15 minutes. Scrub the feet to remove exfoliating skin. Finally rinse off with cold water and dry your feet with a clean towel.

Makeup Tips

A proper makeup can change a persons look completely, while enhancing one’s personality to a great extent. Using good and branded beauty products can enhance one’s beauty adding instant lift and on certain days, serves as a real lifesaver. When applied skillfully, makeup enhances your good features and detracts from the not-so-good. With practice, anyone can achieve a natural look, so stop being wary of your cosmetics and include the makeup beauty tips in your routine.

Along with these tips, remember that eating a healthy diet, avoiding junk foods, drinking plenty of water and following a regular exercise regime will assist in maintaining your overall good health and add a glowing touch to your skin. So use these beauty tips along with a positive attitude, self-confidence and laughter and believe me, you will be turning many head

Even if the arch of the brow becomes too high or very thin, the natural look and feel of the eyebrow goes missing.

The main aim of the eyebrow shaping tips is to help you choose the right shape of the eyebrow that suits your particular facial shape. You can ascertain it very easily by placing a pencil along the edge of the nose and the eyes. For the inner edge keep it in a straight position along the edge of the nose. The part of the brow that falls beyond the boundary of the pencil should be plucked out. Similarly, for the outer edge, put it on the corners of the eyes. The arch of the eyebrow has to be just above the iris. You can mark these points with an eyebrow pencil for your convenience or draw the kind of shape you want for the eyebrow.

Prior to shaping the eyebrows, you should trim them well so that one or true stray hair should not spoil the eyebrow after you have shaped it up. For this, move the hair of the brow in the upward direction by using a soft eyebrow brush. Identify the extra long, floppy hair and trim them with the help of eyebrow scissors.

You should start shaping the eyebrows from the area that lies above the nose. Carefully locate the extra hair growth that has to be removed. Hold it with the tweezers and pull it off instantly in the direction in which they grow. Once you are done with that area, then start shaping one eyebrow at a time. Remove those hair that are below the brow.

Pluck only those few hair from the upper section of the eyebrow that are disturbing the shape. Otherwise, if you pluck too many hair from the upper section of the eyebrow the natural arch of the eyebrow will be damaged badly and you will not be too happy with the end result! Putting ice before and after shaping the eyebrows helps in relieving the pain.

Make up is considered to be synonymous to women. Make up accentuates the beauty of women, thus making them look more attractive. However, applying make up is an art and many do not know the proper way of doing it. Many women overdo it, which brings in a feeling of artificiality. Hence, one has to learn to do make up in a way that it gives a natural effect. Such kind of make up helps in highlighting the key areas of the face, making one look more beautiful.

Make Up and Beauty Tips

Apart from the way of applying make up, even the make up products used are equally important. One must use only quality products because repeated use of cheap make up products can damage the skin. Let us look at some make up beauty tips that would help you in applying make up on your own.

Foundation: Foundation is the most basic thing that is used in the beginning of the make up. There are a variety of foundations available in the market, namely liquid, cake and cream. Moreover, foundations are available according to one’s skin type too. For instance, there are different foundations for oily, dry and normal skin. When you are buying a foundation for yourself, look for all these details and also buy one that is a shade lighter than your actual skin tone.

Before you start applying the foundation, remember to clean your face thoroughly. Massage your face with a toner and a moisturizer, and then get started with your foundation. Take some foundation on a cotton swab and apply a drop of it on the cheeks, chin, forehead, nose and eye lids. You can either use your hands or a sponge and spread it on the face in a circular motion. Do not forget to spread it towards the neck, ear and also under the eyes. The purpose of using a foundation is to give a proper base and make all the areas of the face look even. Gently squeeze a tissue paper over the face to blot out the excess foundation. After you are done with the foundation, apply one coat of compact or powder evenly all over the face.

Concealer: Concealers are used by people to hide pimples, dark circles, scars and blemishes on the face. You can find concealers in the form of liquid or cream. Apply the concealer on the blemish that you want to hide and spread it towards the edges. However, do not over use the concealer (not more than twice) on the blemish because it may make look obvious that you are trying to hide something.

Eye Make Up: Eye make up is considered to be most important as it lifts up the whole face. The first thing that has to be done for eye make up is the application of eye shadow. Many people make a mistake by applying an eye shadow that matches their attire. But, one should use an eye shadow that suits one’s skin color. You can also use 2 – 3 colors for eye shadow, but make sure that all the colors blend well. Take some eye shadow in a flat, blunt headed brush and apply it on the entire eyelid, starting from the inside, moving towards the outer end. If you do not want to use dark colors, you can go with a neutral eye shadow to get a natural look.

Once you are done with the eye shadow, the next step would be the eyeliner. Though a black eyeliner is most commonly used, you can also make use of eyeliners available in different colors like blue, brown, etc. The first coating of the eyeliner should be a thin line and should be drawn closer to the eyelashes as this gives the effect of thicker eye lashes. Apply another coat to make the line thicker. After one has applied the eye liner, the next would be the mascara. They are used to make the eyelashes longer than they actually are. First close your eyes and apply the mascara downwards and then look upwards and apply a coat on the upper as well as the lower lashes. If you want to apply a second coat, wait for the mascara to dry first. But make sure you do not put more than two coats.

Lip Stick: Lip sticks are necessary to complete the look of the whole make up. They are not only available in different colors, but also in different forms ranging from gloss, matte, cream to frost. Whichever lipstick you buy, ensure that you buy one of superior quality and a color that suits your complexion well. Before starting to apply the lipstick, it is necessary to clean the lips with a cleansing milk. If you have dry or chapped lips, apply lip balm or foundation before you start with your make up. Choose a lip liner that matches with the lips stick. Draw the outline and apply the lipstick on the inside of the lines with the help of a brush. To darken the lip color, add an additional coat. Press lips on a tissue paper and bloat out the excess lipstick. Applying lip gloss or lip balm on top of it would give a glossy effect to the lips.

Blusher: Blusher is the final step of makeup. The color of the blush should match one’s skin tone and also the overall make up. Blusher, that is usually available in a powder form should always be light in color. Blush should be applied on the cheek areas with the help of a long and puffy brush. Smile when you are putting on the blush and apply it on the cheekbones with upper strokes.

Other Make Up Tips

Apart from the knowledge of how to apply makeup, it is also necessary to know certain things to have a beautiful and healthy skin. Beauty products and cosmetics should not be used for a long period of time. It is necessary to dispose of old ones and buy new after every 1 – 2 years, depending upon the type of product. Also remember that beauty products contain chemicals, so whenever you use them, remove it completely and wash your face with face cleansers. Make up can surely hide marks on your face and make it look more beautiful, but nothing can match natural beauty. So, it is important to indulge in skin care regularly. Moreover, following a healthy and nutritious diet also has a deep effect on making the skin look lovely.

These are some of the make up beauty tips that you should know. Though, in the beginning, you may not get the techniques right, with practice you will surely become an expert in applying make up.
