My Top 40 Beauty Tips & Tricks



Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.
If you're like me and love finding out new beauty tips and tricks to try out then, I've got 40 of my favourite ones
listed here. Some you might have already heard, and some you might discover today. You don't need to be a pro
make-up artist, or even massively into make-up to need to know these. I personally think these are things every
girl should just know to then pass on to their girlfriend or daughters or nieces and so on.



1. NEVER wear make-up to bed.
2. Drink 2 litres of water a day. Probably the best yet most simplest beauty tip of all time.
3. When washing your hair, concentrate shampoo on your roots and conditioner on the mid and ends of your hair.
(It helps it from getting greasy quickly)
4. Never skip eye cream.
5. Try using less heat on your hair by drying it overnight naturally and plating it over night for natural waves.
(Especially if you're trying to grow it! It also helps keep hair in better condition and less dry)
6. For a closer and smoother shave, use baby oil instead of shaving cream.
7. Invest in multi-tasking products to save money
(I.e. bronzer for face and eye shadow)
8. Put vaseline on wrists/neck then spray perfume on top to keep it lasting longer.
9. If you run out of dry shampoo, use baby powder or bronzer instead.
10. It's very important to know your skin type because buying skincare products.
(To get help finding out place like Sephora, The Body Shop or high end skincare brands can help you.)
11. Never squeeze your spots - It only makes them worse.
12. If your eye liner is crumbling, freeze it for 15 minutes before use.
13.  Massaging your face with ice helps reduce fat cells, acne and wrinkles.
14. Apply SPF daily! (You'll thank me when you're older.)
15. To set your brows, use an old tooth brush and hair spray.
16.  Remember to exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin cells (But don't over exfoliate!)
17. Just because your skin is oily doesn't mean you can't you face oils.
(My favourite is Trilogy Organic Rosehip Oil)
18. Clean your make-up brushes weekly to prevent bacteria build up. It can lead to unwanted blemishes.
19. Finish blow drying you hair with a blast of cold hair to help set it in place.
20.  To prevent lipstick on teeth, put your lips round your finger and pull. It'll get rid of any lipstick that could reach your teeth.
21. Try showering in warm water rather than hot/boiling. It dries your skin and hair out otherwise.
22.  Replace your razor head every month.
23.  Get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks to keep it healthy.
24. Using a white eye lined in your water line can make you look more awake.
(It can also make your eyes to appear bigger.)
25. Try to wash your pillowcase every week.
(Especially if you use a lot of skincare products at night)
26. Don't forget to apply your skincare to your neck and chest as well.
27. For longer lasting lipstick, fill in your lips with a lip liner before you apply lipstick.
28. Apply moisturiser and primer before foundation so it last longer.
29. Don't sleep with you hair tied up.
(If it really bothers you, try plating it to create natural beach waves the next day)
30. Mix baking soda and water to create a paste as a spot treatment, or a mask to help blemish prone skin.
31. Sleeping on a silk pillow can help reduce wrinkles.
32. Don't over pluck your eyebrows. (Go to a professional if you're new to it)
33. Be aware of what you're eating. After you, you are what you eat!
34. Start thinking about anti-ageing products before you even have signs of ageing to prevent it early on.
35. Wash your hair every 2-3 days. Washing it too often can make it dry out.
36. Don't touch your face too much as, you touch so many different things and your'e just spreading bacteria and germs.
(Eventually causing break outs.)
37. Same goes for your hair. Touching it too much will just make it greasy quicker.
38. Moisturise as soon as you get out the shower. (Especially in winter)
39. Take one evening a week to take care of yourself, (Paint your nails, do a face/hair mask, whiten your teeth etc.)
40. Less is always more. (I.e. less make-up, less products. Keep it simple.)
