DIY BEAUTY MONDAYS

Want to de-puff tired eyes?
	Option 1 - Green tea ! Damp green tea bags and lay them on your eyes.  The caffeine from the teabags helps to shrink the appearance of the blood vessels, and these antioxidants help eliminate inflammation. COOL right
	Option 2 - Raw potatoes! just peel and slice a cooled potato before applying to the eye area.  The potato acts as a natural astringent and will take down the swelling
Want to get healthy hair?
	An incredible hair mask which includes 5 basic ingredients egg yolk (for protein), avocado and olive oil (to nourish), and conditioner and mayo to naturally detangle and restore your strands. Mix all of the ingredients together, then apply the mixture to your hair for an hour or two. Then, simply wash it out for soft, shiny, and strong locks!

Five makeup tips

MAKE UP TIPS

1. LIPSTICK

You want to make sure your lipstick is not too defined at your cupid’s bow (the top of your lip), and that it goes all the way out to the inner corners of your mouth.

Be sure to press down hard as you apply.

2. MASCARA

You don't want to do quick soft motions when you apply mascara. 

Instead, jam the wand into the root of the lash and do zigzag motions as you go up.

3. EYELINER

Instead of looking straight ahead at the mirror, get as close to it as possible, stick your head up and bring your chin toward the mirror. 

You want to look down as you apply, starting at the inner corner and making sure to go all the way out to the fold on the outside of the eye.

4. EYESHADOW

Always start with a base shadow without any shimmer that matches the lightest skin tone on your face and apply all over your lid up to the brow. 

You should use this base shadow to make sure the darker shadows used on your lid up to the crease are properly blended.

5. EYEBROW

Always apply your brow pencil or powder to the upper portion of the eyebrow to lift your face up.
