what is your favour make-up tip or beauty treat?

[China Doll]

Choose eyes or lips.... one should stand out, one should be neutral. I think that's about all I've learnt from magazines...

[PinkFizz]

after washing your hair ,do a final rinse with the coldest water you can stand,and it will leave your hair really shiny.

[PinkFizz]

vaseline is a good emergency lip gloss

[hectic]

Additional bit for the vaseline one there, if you need to colour it just add some eye shadow and the jobs a goodun! I also find that sometimes when applying foundation it can collect around the eyebrows, I simply use a cotton bud to wipe the excess from just that area!

[Veggibear]

To put mascara on - blot the wand with a tissue. Then hold a mirror so that you have to look down into it and do your top lashes. Then hold the mirror above you to do the bottom lashes.

[China Doll]

Ooh... good tip veggiebear, not heard that one before.

[Champagne]

Never apply concealer directly on the dark circles under eyes. Only apply it just below the circles/just above the cheekbones to �lift� the eyes.

[PinkFizz]

and a damp cottonwool bud is perfect for where you have smudged your mascara - it just slides straight under the lashes.

[Champagne]

If you have small eyes, avoid using eyeliner. 2 coats of an extending mascara will make the eyes seem bigger and more open.

[Champagne]

If you�re painting your toe nails for a special occasion, paint them 2 days before the event. By doing this any smudges of varnish will wash off when you shower or bath and you are left with perfectly painted nails.

vaseline on a cotton bud is also excellent for correcting smudged mascara or eye liner.

Also, put your mascara with the lid on of course into a cup of boiling water for a few minutes. When you take it out it will be as good as new and just glide on your lashes leaving not clogs or lumps......

[madham]

China doll, nail on the proverbial head. Black sultry eyes and clear lip gloss do it for me everytime.

And mimififi I feel a revival of a drying up mascara!

Or a personal summer favourite... a dab of vaseline on the cheeks give you that dewey glowy look.

my girlfriends eyebrow tweezers also do an excellent job on my nose hair.

[foxydivano1]

oooh these are all really good. I heard that kewi is now the new one for tired eyes (instead of cucumber).... not tried it yet though!

another - rock salt and olive oil (cheap/natural hand scrub)...

put cover up on over your foundation.... that way your cover up does not get wiped off when applying foundation.

Put your eye shadow on with your eyes open..... dont know why, just saw a make up artist say that on TV

Keep 'em coming!

If you have small eyes, line the bottom with a white pencil to make them look larger.

[foxydivano1]

apparently britney does this, but if you have a wider nose, build up colour (dark) down the see of the bridge of your nose, it'll make it look slimmer!
