Lipsticks come richly pigmented to last all day long on your lips, be it creamy, liquid, glossy, or matte, they are undoubtedly the most significant part of anyone’s makeup routine. But have you ever wondered if your lipstick is a multi-purpose tool? If it can single-handedly add all the colors you want on your face? If it can create the similar color schemed make-up that you derive from other beauty products? Let us have a look at different creative ways of using your lipstick that will surprise you. By the time you finish reading this, you’ll be up with your makeup kit to take on the world. Hold tight!

 

  1. As Blush

Take your blush brush and begin unleashing your artistic side. Dab on some of your little liquid/cream/gloss lipstick on your cheeks and start stippling with your brush in the direction that will help you achieve the desired blush style and highlight your cheeks according to your face shape. While the liquid one will give more tint and be blendable, your gloss will pat in more sheen, doing subtly the job of a natural sheer highlighter every time the light hits your face. Liquid lipsticks are easier to manage, however, you need to look out for the proper color delivery as they can be very thick and pigmented sometimes.

As Blush

  1. As Eyeshadow

Put on some of your loved cream lipstick and blend it with a brush or just your fingers. You’ll see in no time how it replaces your hoard of eyeshadow sticks (which was a smart yet hectic purchase project). Glitter lipsticks are a festive pick but all in all, all of your lipsticks can one by one find space on your eyelids, turning into full glam. Imagine a deep burgundy lipstick spread across your eyelids and more gloss coming over to make it shiny. All this, without making your eyes tired and overworked. Yes!

As Eyeshadow

  1. As Contour

Let us put to use our nude creamy lipsticks to shape up our beautiful faces. Yes! Your lipstick can be used as a contour too. Spread your darker brown lipstick across your hairline, the sides of the bridge of your nose, and right below the cheeks, and turn downwards to trace your desired jawline. Now put on the lighter, more highlighting shade, and begin to blend. You will notice that they are way more incorporable and brush-friendly, you may use more force to blend in the product and it won’t ever get patchy.

As Contour

  1. As a Highlighter

The shinier your lipstick is, the more effortless your highlighter game would be. Plus, everybody will be complimenting your glow (they’ll never know the power of not relying too much on heavily pigmented highlighters). Dab it slowly over the tip of your nose, on top of your cheeks, and below your eyebrows, and gently pat it with your fingers. These are quite effective in achieving a wet unrefined eye look, making your face appear plumper and more hydrated overall. But it will depend more on the color you are choosing.

As a Highlighter

 

 

  1. As Eyeliner

Use a thin liner brush and steadily dip it in your liquid lipstick (in this case, you may even use liquid matte lipstick). Now draw your chosen eyeliner style onto your eyelids. This glides smoothly, like any other liquid eyeliner. Plus, this will end your worries of burning your pocket to buy more different colored liners. You can easily create well-toned makeup look when you are using the same product for your lips and eyes. Cream ones will be a little tough to work with but would still save you on days when your liner has dried out!?

Makeup, indeed, triggers creativity. Look how expandable your one beauty product can be, serving your various makeup needs in one go and with a brush (or maybe 2 but that’s it!). The thing is, we get so drawn into the world of beauty products and their fancy marketing that we don’t realize how much we are hoarding when makeup products nowadays are becoming more dynamic. Anyways, lip colors in pans arranged in a palette are sturdier but they will be bulky if you are looking for portable options. So, it is recommended to go with lipsticks that come in handy at your service and won’t require a brush all the time! Be beautiful in and out!

Eyebrows can change the whole look of your face and thus they are extremely important. You have to see to it that your eyebrows are done properly.

1: Threading and Tweezing

If you want to remove excess hair from your eyebrows to make them look tamed and maintained and give them a nice shape then you can go for a threading session. Here a cotton thread is used to remove the extra hair from your brows and provide them with a nice shape. This technique is safe as there is no chemical applied to your skin. You just need the thread that can remove the hair from the follicle. Visit a professional before trying it on your own.

Threading and Tweezing

2: Waxing

Another way to remove hair and shape your brows is waxing. Just like waxing the other parts of the body, here too, you use a thin layer of wax and apply it on the area that you want to remove hair from and with the help of a thin strip that then removes the wax along with the hair. This is one of the methods you can use to remove excess hair from your brows and shape them. You can also do this at home by yourself with the help of waxing strips, just fill or shape the brows before for the best look.

Waxing

3: Microblading

Not always do people want to thin their thick brows. There are times when people want to fill their brows and make them look thicker. This is similar to tattooing where the eyebrows are tattooed by making thin strokes on the brows just like hair with pigment ink so that it looks like eyebrows. This is a semi-permanent solution to make your brows look thicker. You need to take care of it like a tattoo and then this is there on your skin for some 12 to 18 months. This is a great way to fill patches or when someone has any skin condition.

Microblading

4: Brow Lamination

Brow lamination is another way you can make your eyebrows look fuller. This is a treatment that strengthens the brows and makes them appear healthier and in a shape that can be retained even after you remove all the makeup. This treatment uses several chemicals that provide moisture and retain the shape you like for your brows. This helps in keeping the eyebrows in shape for weeks and look chic. You do not need to worry about doing your eyebrows after you have got them laminated.

Brow Lamination

5: Brow Henna

Brow henna is similar to brow tinting. Here instead of any dye on the skin, you use henna of a certain shade that provides you with the color and the illusion of thicker brows. Henna stains the skin under your eyebrows and your hair thus providing you with fuller-looking brows. The skin stain stays for a few days while the hair stays for some weeks. This is a natural way to stain and enhance the look of your brows making them appear darker and thicker.

Different types of treatments result in different types of eyebrows. Before going for any kind of eyebrow treatment make sure you know what is the right one for you and if it would compliment your face. You can change your eyebrow shape and thickness, with the help of these treatments. The list above provides you with some of the many eyebrow treatments that you can go for to elevate your look. Some people feel more secure with full eyebrows and tend to spend a lot of their time filling their brows which can be made easier with these treatments. Look for the right one for you and your brows.

Exfoliation is the next step in cleaning your body. Besides, getting rid of dead cells from the skin also plays a part in providing a sort of relaxation to the body when done right. This vital step in your beauty regime ensures a healthy glow on your skin so, it goes without saying that it has to be done effectively to achieve the best results. Generally, the results of any addition to your routine show up in 3-4 months. Following the right steps, smoother skin is rather realizable in 4-7 weeks. We are listing here some of the best tips for anyone who’s just starting.

 

  1. Dry Brushing

Using the right tools is the thing. Consider using a dry brush all over your body as your pre-shower regimen in the morning. This not only brushes off dead skin cells constructively and helps in lymphatic drainage but also energizes you from within. The correct way to dry the brush is to go in a circular motion starting from your feet and going upwards finishing around the neck area. With this, you’ll prevent blackheads and bumps on your arms and strawberry legs post-shaving. After a shower, make sure to deep condition your whole body while damp. Recommended usage for beginners is twice a week. The dry bristles of the brush could be a tad bit harsh.

Dry Brushing

  1. Scrubbing

Using physical exfoliation is a great option for someone looking for squeaky clean skin. Use a scrub on damp skin in the shower after you have washed your body thoroughly. Massage for a few minutes and wash off. This will completely clean your skin. It’s suggested to focus on areas of the body that have thick skin, has turned darker (because of improper cleaning), or have turned velvety. Scrubs can be damaging to the skin if done for too long (take special care in choosing the right scrub matter in your product). Use two-three times a week for proper upkeep and with the least amount of pressure. This will deliver.

Scrubbing

  1. No Over-Exfoliation!

If you tend towards over-exfoliating your skin thinking that this might help you get rid of dirt and make your skin look and feel ultra-bright, then you are misguided in this direction. Over-exfoliation is equivalent to torturing your skin because:

  1. It will diminish your skin barrier
  2. It will expose the skin to more dirt and UV
  3. It will damage the dermis
  4. It will make your skin drier
  5. It will weaken your skin’s surface
  6. It will cause redness, irritation, and itching

Dermatologists always tell us that exfoliation must be done the right way. It is only a regular cleaning step. There is no point in damaging your skin and making it prone to problems when you can go easy and keep it healthy-looking.

No Over-Exfoliation!

  1. Role of Vitamin C?

When one is aspiring to obtain a healthy glow, exfoliation can be smartly combined with this element. In case you are using chemical exfoliation, add a Vitamin C enriched serum to your skincare routine to help placate dull-looking skin. After physical exfoliation too, you can combine a Vitamin C serum with your daily body emollient for supple skin. Vitamin C plays a vital role in brightening up when added to one’s regimen daily.

Role of Vitamin C?

  1. Chemical Exfoliation

Salicylic acid, glycolic acid, mandelic acid, and lactic acid are some of the chemicals used for exfoliating your skin. For your bumpy arms and blackheads on your back to darkened elbows and neck region, these acids can surprisingly show results in 2-3 months and they are super easy to apply. Depending upon the strength of an acid, the application frequency varies from daily to once a week. If you have just started, go with a salicylic acid exfoliant and keep your usage to twice a week and slowly reach daily.

Chemical Exfoliation

 

Exfoliation can also be achieved through retinol-based products. Research tells us that retinol is a multi-tasking component, they help get rid of tan, fine lines, acne, pigmentation, and many more. Through these tips, you’ll not find yourself what to do and what not to do as we have put things out here in a perspective for easy interpretation. Always remember to moisturize after exfoliation and protect your skin from UV rays for your skincare to turn fruitful. This way, clear skin would come your way in no time!
