Beauty Routine Add-Ons

     Beat 3 eggs; add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon vinegar to create a concoction for all types of hair to revitalize and give a healthy shine (what everybody wants).  Apply mixture and cover hair with plastic wrap.  Shampoo well after 30 minutes.
     A very easy way to make your hair wavy or curly: apply a small amount of gel, comb through hair, and use your fingers to "scrunch up" hair all over while air drying.  (this helps give body to flat hair)
     Apply milk of magnesia on your face for a deep-cleansing mask.  Avoid the eye area.  Leave on for 10 minutes then remove with a warm washcloth and apply moisturizer.
     To help you get the right shade of foundation, try it on just under the jawline rather than on the wrist or hand.  Experts say foundation should be just slightly lighter than your skin tone.
     Transform a heavy, oil-based foundation into one that glides on more smoothly, add a lil bit of moisturizer to the foundation.  Mix in your palm or a small dish - not the makeup container.
     You can mix a drop of liquid blusher with your foundation to give skin an instant glow.
     Replace your eye shadows and pencils every 6 months and your mascara every 3 months, because bacteria from your eyes can be introduced to the product and vice versa.  Labeling items with their purchase date will help you remember.
     Put brow, eye and lip pencils in freezer for an hour before sharpening, to get a sharp point.
     Layer on in this order to get lipstick to stay on longer.  Face powder first, then lipstick, powder, and then lipstick.
     After you outline lips to prevent feathering of lipstick, fill lips in with lip pencil, going up and down instead of across to fill in lines of lips to help them look fuller.
     Avoid wearing perfume in the sun; the oils it contains can cause brown spots on the skin. 
     Mix cologne with warm water in sink and use a washcloth to freshen up all over.
