Good Morning!
Apologies on the delay was filming yesterday! I have for you beauties a bit of a beauty bible! Some of my 10 easy steps to give you inspiration, ideas, or just a nosey at the way i do things! If theres anything else you'd like me to touch up on then please tweet me at @aimeeinf and let me know would love to hear from you all!
1.Pony tail looking a bit flat? Simply pin two bobby pins vertically into the underside of your ponytail and watch as your hair has more bounce!!!Works brilliant with poker straight hair our tumbling curls.
2.Want fuller looking lips? Grab your favourite lip liner and a MATTE lipstick and just draw both your cupids bow and bottom crease slightly above/below your actual lip. Then go in with the matte lipstick and fill in the gaps!NOTE: using a shiny/gloss affect lipstick will only highlight the fact that you have 'overdrawn' your lips as light will reflect off of your cupids bow and give you a miss hap makeup look.
3.Want brighter looking eyes? On the upper and lower water line of your eyes line with a matte white eyeliner, this will make your eyes look brighter, bigger and more awake! But don't forget to go in with a black eyeliner or smokey eyeshadow underneath the corner of your eyes to get the full effect otherwise it could leave you looking a little washed out!
4.Concealer not staying on? The majority of us will apply our base coat in the order of Primer, Concealer, then foundation....DONT! By adding the foundation after your concealer your pretty much eliminating the purpose??? Concealer is to cover up break outs, and to highlight your face in areas. If thats what your trying to do then you want it to stay exactly where you apply it not smeared around underneath your foundation in a cake way.
5.Fancy simple messy beach waves?Wash your hair and plait your whole head whilst damp, sleep on it and in the morning dry the plaits and unravel. Add some salt spray and scrunch a tousle your hair ready for the day ahead!
6.Longing for longer lashes without the fakes? Most of us tend to opt for using one mascara and pulling the lashes outwards. This however makes the eyelashes look flatter and shorter. Grab yourself two different mascaras that you like and pull the lashes up with the mascara brush. TOP TIP: spend as long on your bottom lashes as you do with your top! If you love the amazingly 'spidery' look.
7.Dark circles under your eyes?Its all about your concealer, of course more sleep is the proper solution but not all of us manage to get a full 8 hours a night! so for a slightly easier approach simply grab your fave concealer and apply in an upside down triangle shape. A simple sweep under the eye isn't going to get rid of them? in fact it'll just simply move the bag/dark circle lower down as your just creating the same shape a little lower down. try it.... and you'll see just how much brighter and more awake you'll look.
8.Fancy a go at contouring? Don't just use bronzer. This can leave a really orange shimmery finish to your face which is the exact opposite to what your trying to achieve. When contouring your really trying to create light and dark areas of a matte finish for it to look natural. So if your using a sparkly/shimmer bronzer it can look the complete opposite with little affect.
9.Cant seem to master the winged eyeliner?Get a bit of sticky tape place it diagonal to the outer corner of your eye and draw your flick against the tape. This way when you peel the tape back you will have a perfectly straight pro looking flick!
10.Got scars, stretch marks, or burns that you want to fade? Make coconut oil your best friend! A while back i was silly enough to forget i had my curlers on my bed and rolled over onto them. For ages i had this horrendous scar that for a while i had to keep under this sanitary towel looking bandage -.- you can imagine the looks i got when it was visible through my leggings! Anyway if thats something you'd like to fade or just help heal then every day rub a little coconut oil onto the chosen area and you will see a massive difference I'm telling you! Also its great for the skin and leave it super soft!
So my lovelies those are a few of my personal beauty tips! Of course we all do things differently and i am not in anyway telling you what to do! Would just like to share some of my secrets and ideas with you all as i have been asked a few times how i do different things! <3
