Beauty makeup tips...

Every woman
should pay attention to her face... that's what people look at! Your skin deserves a little extra care now... before it's too late. Smoking and alcohol wreak havoc on the skin... honestly (another reason to quit).

The sun also causes premature aging and wrinkles... as well as skin cancer. You know the drill... use a sunscreen daily... the higher the SPF, the better... a minimum of 15 is best.

There are some wonderful new products out now that help the base cells of your skin remain smooth, elastic and clear. Although these "nourishers" can be expensive, a tiny dab goes a long way. Get some, and use moisturizer, too.

Beauty makeup tips...
All of the following  products can be found at the drugstore or your favorite cosmetics counter.   Follow this 4-step process each morning and at  bedtime:
 

cartoon of lotions and love potions  1. CLEANSE- Use special facial cleansers,
    not soap. Always start with squeaky-
    clean skin. (Try water-based ones by
    Dove, Cetaphil, Olay, Neutrogena, or
    Phisoderm)
 2. TONE- Soften with a toner or
     astringent. (We like Dickinson's Witch
     Hazel, SeaBreeze, Biore, or L'Oreal)
 3. NOURISH- With "nourisher" cell-
     renewal products like: (Pond's Time
     Rewind, Nutrissime by L'Oreal, Total
     Effects by Olay, or Visage by Nivea)
 4. MOISTURIZE- These are some with
     sunscreen built in: (Coppertone Faces,
     Block Up! with aloe vera, Neutrogena
     Oil-Free Moisture)

                THE ART OF MAKEUP 


Beauty makeup tips...

Now, a word about makeup... why?

Because. It enhances you, makes you more attractive. Okay, so you're an old hippie at heart. No makeup for you!

Well, that's just fine, really, but just know that you are overlooking a very simple and easy way to gain an advantage in the dating game. Scientific studies have proven that men notice, talk to, and are more stimulated by women with wide eyes and rosy lips (read: eye makeup and lipstick).

And you don't have to overdo it, either. Just a touch of accent to the eyes and reddened lips do the trick. You needn't look like a painted floozy to have makeup work it's magic for you...

The right cosmetics, properly applied, will make you look great without being obvious. The wrong colors applied inexpertly can make you look garish and unnatural. So get some help!

Where? Glad you asked that...

PERSONAL INSTRUCTION

Beauty makeup tips...

Go to the cosmetics counter of any upscale department store. Ask for the resident cosmetics expert. Ask her for advice on products and hands-on instruction in application. Pick her mind for beauty makeup tips. She may nudge you toward "their" products, but you are not obligated to buy them, and the lessons she can give you are invaluable. It's that easy!

CLEANLINESS

Surely you already know this... we're just reinforcing it... good hygiene is absolutely essential  if you want that second date. (Or the first, for that matter). Bathe daily-- wash your hair til it squeaks--keep  up with your shaving-- and use deodorant.

And about perfume... wear it! To find the right scent, experiment. You'll know you've hit on "the one" when people start telling you that you smell great... "And what's the name of that perfume?"
 

                       
                                           



NAILS

Clean and well-polished nails add an elegant touch to your "new look". Here's how: schedule a session with a professional manicurist. The cost is minimal. If you can afford it, go weekly and have her "fix you up"... decadent and luxurious! Pedicure, too...

                                                   cartoon of woman getting manicure

Can't afford it? Then go once. Watch closely what she does to your nails, and which products she uses... then do the same at home... it's really not hard. And keep up with it... chipped polish looks awful.  
 



TEETH

Then pay some attention to your teeth. Are they chipped,
dingy, stained, or missing?
