Beauty tips (part 1)

Some interesting stuffs I found from Google's "Tip of the day" Gadget. You can ignore some of those tips to be frank....

1. Comb the tangles out of your hair before you get it wet. Your hair will wash easily and the tangles will not worsen.
   
   
2. "Mineral powder makeup" sounds really pristine and does live up to its name. It has no talc, no chemicals, no fillers and no dyes.
   
   
3. Apply a teaspoon of sunscreen to your face when you are outside on hot summer days. This will protect your skin from the harsh burning rays of the sun. (Duh.. isn't that equivalent to applying sunblock whenever you step outta the house?)
   
   
4. Applying foundation with a latex sponge makes it easy to see exactly how much you are putting on and aids in blending. Dampen it first, and you end up with slightly more sheer coverage. (I'll still prefer using the fingers cuz 1) the temperature actually allows you to blend easier, 2) using sponge absorbs more of your liquid foundation hence finishes faster)
   
   
5. Bangs are universally flattering - unless you have cowlicks or tight curls.
   
   
6. Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. ~ Kahlil Gibran~' (Aiya, mark my words better - vanity heals. It really does)
   
   
7. Below is a wonderful poem, written by Audrey Hepburn when she was asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later.
   
   

   
   For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
   For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
   For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
   For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
   For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
   People, even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
   Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
   As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

   
   
   
8. Bobbi Brown, a leading makeup artist once declared that there is a shade of RED lipstick for everyone!
   
   
9. Body oils have been in use even before the advent of any body care creams or lotions. Body oil when massaged on body does wonders for skin! One of the most striking features about oils is that they are free from any chemical, and are completely herbal.
   
   
10. Bronzer is for the bones, and not the entire face. Focus on the cheek bones, the bones above the temples, the bridge of the nose, and the chin for a natural looking tan.
    
    
11. Compliment your beauty by wearing natural stone jewelry! Our favorites are these one of a kind handmade creations at http://www.savvygirlcompany.com/
    
    
12. Curl your lashes AFTER you apply mascara!!! You will need to give the mascara 5 minutes to dry after applying, then curl. This blend will help your mascara stay put longer. (Ok, I do that BEFORE and AFTER I apply my mascara)
    
    
13. Dark skin color and formation of age spots is caused by buildup of melanin in the skin. Skin gets dark by exposure to sun, which increases the production of melanin. Skin gets prone to hyper pigmentation over the time. In this condition Irregular dark spots come out to the skin of face arms, back, leg and hands, which is caused by increased melanin. Be sure to wear a hat & apply sunscreen when you are outside for extended lengths of time to lessen dark spots. (Again, duh..... I was hoping for a better solution)
    
    
14. Flat Irons can help your hair achieve that smooth, sleek look! They are easy to use; just make sure that you practice before a big date! Also, keeping the Flat Iron clean is an absolute must! (Does that mean we shouldn't keep our curling rods clean?)
    
    
15. For a truly natural look, blend, blend, blend your makeup!!! (I say: For a truly natural look, don't put any makeup at all)
