My top 30 beauty tips!

1. Always wear sunscreen even on cloudy rainy days
2. Using a face primer such as Maybellines “The Smoother” can reduce the appearance of pores when put on before foundation. I also use a little bit under my eyes and the concealer and i find this avoids the concealer sinking into fine lines.
3. When plucking eyebrows, take a step back every so often to gain perspective and avoid overplucking!
4. There is such thing as over shampooing and conditioning. Less product is more, so it might explain your greasy hair!
5. Change up your hair routine, have a couple of shampoos to change it up so hair doesn’t get used to products and stop them working!
6. Everyone should exercise until they sweat at least once a day.
7. Find your skin type and buy for your skin type. For ages i felt my face was so tight and dry after cleansing, turns out i was using a cleanser for oily skin when i should have been using products for dry skin.
8. To solve under eye bags, a cold teaspoon or teabag in the mornings can help get the blood flowing! Just pop in the fridge.
9. Alternatively stand on your head!
10. Alternatively use concealer with added in highlighter for a bright eyed look.
11. Exfoliating twice a week removes dead skin cells and makes a girl look radiant. St Ives do a great scrub as do body shop.
12. Fake tan is much safer than a real one ;) I love palmers (the guys who make cocoa butter) gradual tanning moisturiser. It really gives you a nice natural tan
13. This summer, bright nails are in! Want an even brighter nail? Use white nail varnish then your choice of colour to make it go PING!
14. Hair should be semi dry before applying conditioner for it to actually work. Just wring out most of the water before applying conditioner or towel dry it for 10 seconds for the conditioner to actually do its job! The more wet your hair is the more product is diluted.
15. Sleep can give you wrinkles you know! I often wake up with lines all over my face because i sleep on my side and my face scrunches up. Silk pillows or sleeping on your back can avoid this!
16. Never turn your nose up at a product before trying it. I often find the products i find “boring” to look at, when tried on i end up hearting.
17. Hair spraying bobby pins will keep them in your hair longer!
18. Baby oil is a girls best friend, not just a babies
19. If yours lips are super pigmented and that lipstick is just not showing up, use concealer on your lips first.
20. Run out of dry shampoo and 10minutes late for work. Face powders also work.
21. Heat plus any nail varnish = a bad time. Keep in a cool place not on your window sill or bathroom. Same goes for perfume.
22. White eyeliner or beige can really make you look like you got up hours ago! Not 5 minutes ago....
23. To get the ultimate bed head, hairspray + hairdryer! Beach look without the beach.
24. Thinner layers of nail varnish, not thick!
25. Using head and shoulders all the time is not necessarily good for dandruff as it is known to dry out your scalp if used continuosly.
26. I cannot stress the importance of cleansing and moisturising before bed!
27. Ran out of black eyeshadow? Black pencil eyeliner can also double as an eyeshadow to make a great smokey eye for nights out!
28. Treat your hair once a week to a leave in product or hair old mask. It really mkes a difference.
29. A great way to add a pop of colour is plum mascara or blue eyeliner.
30. For thicker eyelashes, put eyeliner on your top waterline.
