- Before throwing out an old stick of mascara, clean the wand with eye make-up remover and wash it in soap. Use the clean want to comb through lashes while they are wet for the best last separator
- When using a deep-cleansing mask, firstly dampen your face with lukewarm water. Cold water will close the pores and prevents the mask from penetrating into the skin.
- Lipstick can emphasize chapped lips. To get them silky smooth, apply some lip balm to your pout before your makeup routine. Once you’re done, tissue off the remaining balm and apply your lipstick. Viola!
- Make-up artists like the cream and powder blush combination. Laura Mercier swears the formula gives the rosy tint a longer lasting effect.
- Instead piling on the makeup remover to get rid of panda-like eyes after a drunken night out, just soak up a piece of cotton pad and hold it over your lids for ten seconds and let the remover dissolve the girt before wiping them clean.

~ I think it's interesting how ladies back in the day were also consumed with looking pretty. I remember when I was young, my grandma would start the day by dissolving a white pea-sized thing that would turn into face powder. Intrigued by the pot of peas, I took a handful of them, mixed them with water and slapped the mixture all over my face. Unfortunately, I turned out looking rather ghostly. Having said that, beauty routines are best kept simple and natural (this is also a cheaper alternative compared to buying bottled goodies from beauty stores). I'll soon be posting a few tips about how you can incorporate things you can find in any pantry into your beauty regimen...so check back soon!~
