Miscellaneous Tips

Fragrance Dos and Donts :

• DO wear more perfume if you have dry skin. Scent needs oils to last.
• DO wear stronger scents in cold weather. Cold reduces a scent's strength.
• DO wait ten minutes before deciding to buy a new scent.
• DON'T use deodorant soap where perfume is applied.
• DON'T use perfume near pearl or costume jewelry. The alcohol in perfumes can cause pearls to yellow and can strip the coating off jewelry.
• DON'T sample more than two or three new scents at a time. Your olfactory senses will become confused.

Face mask treatments :

• MAYONNAISE. Apply whole egg mayonnaise on your face (right from the jar) for about 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
• PEACH & BRANDY. Mash up a peach (use ripe, canned or frozen) and mix in a tablespoon of brandy. Leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse off.
• TOMATO MASK. For oily skin, mash up a ripe tomato and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm (not hot) water.
  

For a rosy face :
These are homemade treatments that will put a rosy glow on your face.

• Boil fresh rose petals and use this rose water instead of plain water for your skin treatments.
• Prepare a rose facemask by grinding a handful of petals into a paste. Apply on clean skin and leave the application on for 15 to 25 minutes. Then wash with plain water (no soap). Your complexion will be smooth and glowing.
  
  

Another Use For a Makeup Brush :
Take a CLEAN makeup brush and use it to clean all the dust and whatever else seems to get caught in between the keys of your keyboard.

Applying Blush :
Blush can be a nightmare for some. Just where exactly does it go? Well, in a nutshell, here goes. You look for the fullest part of your cheek and thats where your blush goes. Take your blush brush and sweep the color back toward the temple. Its that simple. Now, here is a little trick. Once you have your blush in place, take a cotton ball and blend until you have just a hint of natural looking color. Subtle is the key word here. No strips of color please.

Glycerin- What Is It? :
Glycerin is used in cosmetics to hold moisture against the skin and prevent dryness. The amount contained in a product should not be more than 20%.

The Right Frames for You :
1. If you have an oval face, just about any shape of frames will flatter your face.
2. If you have a round face, choose frames that are angular (rectangle in shape).
3. If you have a diamond shape face, choose frames that are oval in shape.
4. If you have a triangle shape face, choose frames that are as wide as your jawline snf angle out slightly at the top corners of the glasses.
5. If you have a square face, choose oval shaped glasses.
6. If you have a long face, choose frames that resemble an inverted triangel shape.

Wrinkling Around The Eyes :
There is one very good reason why wrinkling seems to occur here very quickly. One is the fact that there are no oil glands located around the eyes and the second... is the fact that all the facial expressions that you make raises the cheekbones and in turn contributes to crowsfeet and more. To combat this, start applying a good moisturizer in the eye area at an early age.
