- Vegetable oils for Makeup and dry skin
Vegetable oils are too-often overlooked beauty products, yet they are often used in beauty tips and recipes. If you are a natural beauty lover, you need to have these oils in your bathroom: Sweet almond, coconut, jojoba, argan, and castor. Choose 2 favorite and give them the place it deserves on your bathroom shelf.
You can use any of these oils to remove make-up (it is incredibly effective, especially on waterproof make-up), but also in care for dry hair and skin, massage therapy, and others. You can also add 2 or 3 drops in your usual cream. Baby skin effect guaranteed!
- Detangle your hair before washing it
This is a silly trick, and yet it makes all the difference. Before jumping in the shower, remember to comb through your hair. This will prevent breakage when shampooing, and allow you to use less conditioner than usual to untangle.
By avoiding overloading your hair with product, it will be less likely to be weighed down and will regain less quickly. Double benefit!
- 30 seconds to make your lipstick last twice as long
In the same way you powder your complexion to set your makeup, it is quite possible to powder your lipstick. How? You may ask. Simple! After applying it, absorb the excess by pressing your lips on a tissue. Then peel off a layer of a clean tissue and hold it over your mouth. Then apply translucent loose powder with a brush over this thin thickness of handkerchief.
The right dose will pass through the fibers. Your lipstick will have a matte finish and the color will last twice as long.
- Mascara on the lower lashes before the upper lashes
If you regularly find yourself with mascara smudges above your eyelid, this beauty tip is for you. It’s a mistake we’ve all made with mascara: when you tilt your head forward and open your eyes wide to apply it to the lower lashes, the upper ones – which are not yet dry – come up. Touch your upper eyelid and leave marks. Change your habits.
Applying your mascara to the lower lashes first will prevent this annoying phenomenon. And rest assured, while you apply makeup to the top lashes, the bottom lashes won’t have anything to stain.
- Heat-free hair waves
Do you like to have pretty wavy hair but don’t want to put it through heat in your head? There is an alternative. Instead, opt for the twist technique: when you let your hair air dry, twist it around your fingers while it’s still damp. Make 4 or 5 twists on each side of your head, and fix them in a large clamp. Once your hair is completely dry, scrunch it all together with your fingers and lacquer for better hold.
- Make up with a cotton swab
Cotton swabs are not only used to clean the ears but also as a cosmetic tool. These little tools are extremely useful for makeup. We can no longer even count their uses: melt a khol pencil, erase a concealer applied a little too generously, fade a lip contour that is too clear, etc.
And soaked with a few drops of micellar water, the cotton swab is also very helpful to correct a line of eyeliner. Avoid plastic in favor of a non-GMO reusable, sustainable and cotton swabs.
- Use your lipstick as a cream blush
For quick and easy makeup, here’s an idea that will make your life easier. No need for blush and brush. Just grab your favorite lipstick and apply a small amount to your cheeks, blending it with your fingers, just like you would with a cream blush. For a better hold, prefer satin or semi-matte textures with more glossy finishes. This technique has its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of this technique? No more thinking about coordinating your blush with your lipstick. Disadvantage? This method is not recommended for the oily skin, which will prefer powder blushes for better hold.
- Massage your face with
Incorporating even a two-minute facial massage with organic vegetable oil into your evening skincare routine can 
have stunning effects on your face. Oils ideal for all types of skin include sweet almond oil, olive oil, and coconut oil.
