"Beauty tip 1: Always use products for NORMAL SKIN This is because if you think you have dry skin and you buy products formulated to treat that then your skin will go really oily and then you'll have to change your products to one that are specially formultaed for oily skin. Then that will make your skin dry and you will have to change your products again. Then your skin will go dry and you will have to change again...and so on. This could end up costing you lots of money and leaving lots of unused and wasted products. If you buy products for NORMAL SKIN then it will neutralise your skin and keep it fresh and healthy. REMEMBER...don't over do any of your makeup as it could make you look less beautiful rather than more beautiful..x =)"
"If heaven forbid, you run out of eyeko big eyes mascara then a handy tin of vaseline can be the answer so don't panic. Rub your finger in the vaseline jelly and rub across eyelashes this will give them a darker look and also extend. this is also handy in hot weather or when going near a swimming pool . After the definition of the look, the choice of eyeliner pencil is the next consideration. To apply eyeliner, a thin and sometimes hard pencil it utilized, but this does not permit for easy application once the skin underneath your eyes has lost some of its firmness. Waterproof gel or loose powder eye makeup is another option, but they require a steady hand. A happy medium is a soft consistency eyeliner pen. * Choose your colors wisely, white is great for a dramatic contrast to dark skin or add little designs to your eyelids, * Organic, natural look, opt for something that is just a shade darker than your eyelashes. * Eyeko's Glitter Eyeliner will draw a lot of attention to your eyes and detract from other parts of your appearance, You can use this or subtle glimmer on a day time and build it up for a night time. Add some false eyelashes and OMG it just makes you look so glam! * I love to create designs and patterns on my eyelids with Eyeko's Glitter Eyeliner. * I also add an underlying dramatic line using eyekos magic liquid eyeliner as in the pic, this is one of my favourite looks!(as in the pic)
Lip Exfoliation
"1. Plucking your eyebrows in pain? Try applying a little ice to your brows 10 seconds prior to plucking to numb the skin.
2. Try to avoid wearing an eye moisturizer with a shimmer eye shadows, it breaks up the consistency of the shadow and causes creasing.
3. If you're out of eyeshadow then sweep over a bit of bronzer or blush on to the eyelid for a soft glow.
4. Out of eyeliner? then grab your mascara and apply with an eyeliner brush. It will last all day and has the finish of a liquid eyeliner.
5. Using shades of yellow on your eyelids will make the white in your eye pop.
6. If you are trying to achieve the "winged" eyeliner look but struggling to make them even then lightly trace an eyeliner pencil on first as a guide before applying the liquid eyeliner to avoid those uneven lines."
"-Always remove make-up before bed and use night creams, this helps keep skin soft and supple.
-Always wear sunscreen, even if you can't see the sun, its up there somewhere.
-After a shower I always apply moisturizer all over my body, this stops skin from drying out and takes away any shaving rash.
-Before bed I always use a body brush, this creates healthy circulation and gets rid of ingrowing hair and dry skin.
-I always use primer before applying make-up this gives my foundation a small flawless finish.
-I use an exfoliator on my body twice a week anymore than this is not neccessary as you won't be scrubbing off just dead skin cells.
"For The Face:
- Avoid harsh chemicals at all times!
- Moisturize your face at least once a day, so that your skin wont get dry.
- Find a good foundation that suits your skin type and colour. Don't buy a liquid foundation for dark skin if you have pale, oily skin.
- If you have oily skin like me, find a good powder foundation and find some good quality 'No More Shine' powder.
- Wash all the make-up off your face before you go to bed, and don't forget to moisturize!
- Find and apply a good toner, following the intructions on the packaging.
- If you can afford it, go treat yourself to a facial every now and then ;)
- If you can't, then do what I do, give yourself a Sugar Facial;
You need: Your usual soap, warm and cold water, and one teaspoon of white sugar.
1) Using your normal soap (liquid or bar, whatever), make a good lather all over your face.
2) Get one teaspoon of white, granulated sugar, and using the palm of your hand, work it into the lather.
3) You don't need to rub to hard! The sugar is doing that for you :)
4) Then rinse your whole face with warm water, then cold water, which closes the pores
You should now have smooth, soft skin :D
For the Eyes:
- Finding a good eye cream doesn't always have to be pricey. Keep a look out for good, unknown brands, it doesn't matter as long as the quality's good!
- If you use eyeliner constantly like me, be careful not too get too much actually IN the eye, because this is very bad for your eyes and could result in infection.
- When using eyelash curlers, make sure you don't tug on your lashes, or you could yank them out!!
- Find a convenient, no-clump mascara, preferably not waterproof, as waterproof is pretty hard to fully get off ;)
- If you're a beauty beginner, start of by using just one eyeshadow, and as you get more experienced, start using two, then three, then maybe four!
- For a subtle natural look, go for a brown eyeliner. For a bold, dramatic look, use black liquid or Kohl eyeliner.
- If you have particularly short eyelashes, then put a pea sized amount of Vaseline or Coconut Oil on your lashes before you go to sleep.
For the Lips/Mouth:
- Avoiding chapped lips can be hard sometimes, especially when the weather is cold and dry. Use lip balm under your lipstick or lip gloss (or just on it's own) to keep your lips soft and plump :)
- If you prefer lipstick, remember not to overdo it. Only use bright red lipstick if you know it looks good on you, and save the black lipstick for Hallowe'en!
- Lip gloss is very useful sometimes, and makes the lips shiny and pretty. Go for a nude shade, and look out for some Lip-Plumping ones, that enhance the natural plumpness of lips :D
- When using lipstick, use a lip liner, so that the lipstick wont 'bleed'.
- Brush your teeth twice a day and have a dentist check up at least once a year. White teeth = Beautiful smile!
- Don't forget to floss! I know flossing is annoying and time consuming, but it's very useful for getting out that extra-sneaky plaque.
- If you have 'wonky' teeth, opt for braces rather than anything surgical. Who knows, braces might look good on you!
- Find a signature smile and try and stick with it. Plus, it gives you an excuse to stand in front of the mirror smiling at yourself ;)"
"Soft make-up for your eyes: Like to wear makeup on your eyes but you would like to have a soft and smooth effect? if you want to avoid the effect of your eye pencil being too strong and graphic on your eyes you can try to smooth it by making the pencil warm! just use a small flame from a lighter on a match and put it for a second
on the end of your just-sharpened pencil. it will melt in a little drop. now blow instantly on it, wait a second for the pencil to become colder and then appy it immediately on your eye. it will be much softer and give you a
more natural effect. look at my picture to see the look I get when I do so. I did this soft purple make-up using Eyeko Pretty Eyes (the strong pink) on the external part of my lid and a purple eyeshadow from bizarre for the inner part, plus a purple eye pencil from Yves rocher. I think it's a nice makeup for girls with my same eye colour"

"Hair
* Actually this one my grandma told me: make tea out of rosemary (from a small handful you can make 3l+ of rosemary tea). With this tea rinse your hair after washing your head. Don't worry about the smell, it fades away very quickly. This helps your hair get stronger and even helps to grow hair on bald spots (my grandma proved this!). * Use rosemary tea (little of it) on dry hair for that shiny effect * If you massage your head when you wash it this helps your hair grow faster and it is very relaxing * Use jojoba oil on your hair tips to make them look healthy and shiny * Wet your head with warm water (before shampooing them, this opens the hair cuticula) and rinse your balsam with cold water (this closes the hair cuticula) * If you want to get more volume effect put some hairspray under that area and cover it up. * If you're having a bad hair day just use some cute hair clips or if it is really extreme a hat :P * And the last tip: don't be too rough with wet hair, it breaks easily!
Nails
* Before applying nail polish use some Vaseline/oil on your cuticles for easy peeling of the excess
* Use olive/jojoba oil on your cuticles for healthy nails (instead of expensive creams)
* If your manicure went bad and you're too tired to fix it/in a hurry/too lazy just put a cute sticker on it or draw some dots/anything
Skin
* If you have a pimple that annoys you put on some toothpaste and let it dry (reapply if needed)
* Aspirin and vicodine works for pimples too (they dry it out)
* Try aspirin mask (amazing)- melt an aspirin in some water + add some aloe vera gel or honey in it and put the mask on your face. Let it dry for 15 min and rinse with water. Don't forget to moisturize your skin after that.
* Use some of your leftover champagne as a tonic (it cleans very well)
* Use olive oil as makeup remover on your eyes (it's great), but I would definitely recommend you put out your contact lenses before using it (own experience ...)
Lips
* For longer lasting lipstick use an used toothbrush (it's softer) on your lips (peeling) before applying the lipstick
* If you want your lips to look bigger use a white pencil on top of your lipstick and smudge it
* You can make a lips mask too! Mix some sugar and honey and apply it on your lips. Smudge it all over, so the sugar can work as a peeling.
Makeup
* If you're not comfortable applying/mixing your eyeshadow: start with the darker one and only than apply the lighter one. Smudge. This is how you create that nice passage from light to dark. * Mix your liquid powder with the same amount of face cream for a more natural look * For instant bigger eyes put on eyeliner and 2 coats of mascara * If you're in a hurry put just the blusher on your cheeks for a fresh look * If you don't have a primer for your eyelids just use your regular concealer"If you girls like HENNA art/ tattoos (mehndi) then to get a darker henna pattern; once your henna has dried squeeze some lemon juice into a bowl and mix with a pinch of sugar. Get some tissue and dab it into the bowl and then dab lightly onto your henna pattern try not to get the the pattern falling off, give it about a good few mintues (2-4 mins) and then go to the sink a brush it off lightly if some of the henna does not peel off then don't worry leave it don't try and scrape it off. To style it up get the EYEKO GLITTER EYELINER and you can use this as henna glitter and form patterns inside the designs of the henna pattern for that dazzling glitter print and also if you have any sparkly eyeshadow then get your EYEKO MAGIC EYELINER and use this to fill in your pattern to match your makeup and outfit."
"1. If you´re running low on your lipgloss, just take a cup, fill it up with water, pop it in the microwave for about 2-4 minutes (it depends on every microwave, but the water must be hot), take out the cup and place all your empty lipglosses in the hot cup. The heat from the water will melt the lipgloss down. Wait about 5 minutes and you´ll see your lipglosses as new! It would save you money.
2. Apply the Eyeko Touch Up & Go Concealer AFTER applying the Eyeko Mascara and eyeshadow because when you put your eyeshadow or mascara on, sometimes it falls under the eyes, in the dark circles, and it makes your eyes dark underneath again. So this will light up again your eyes if you put it after the eyeshadow and mascara.
3. Sometimes when we apply or mascara on, it can smudge our eyeshadow if we aren´t careful. Here´s a little trick to avoid that and all you need is a business or index card, a pencil, and scissors:
* Take one business card or index card and place it over your eye.
* Measure and mark the lenght of your eyes. Then, trace the shape of your eye just approximately
* Take the scissors and cut out the shape. It should looks like a semicircle and works for both of the eyes
* Take the card and place it over your eyelid, and gently lift it up
* Apply your mascara on with the card on your eyelid
* This way the card shields your eyelids and you can use it also in the bottom lashes."
"Always use a layer of white eye pencil before you put on the colour you want. Your eye shadow will stay on much better and longer!
Put a little but of very light coloured eyepancil or eyeshadow in the corner of your eye (tho one near your nose) , so your eyes look more open and you look more awake."
