InStyle: Hair & Makeup Secrets to Go

I was reading the latest issue of InStyle magazine, and they have a flap next to page15 that features hair and makeup secrets. And so I thought that it'd be nice to make a post about it and share the tips with all of you. :D

*not in same order as in the magazine*

1. Concealers with peachy undertones help hide undereye circles the best. The warm shade neutralizes dark circles.

2. Minimize sun damage and look flawless with a mineral-based foundation. The minerals offer natural SPF, so they increase the efficacy of your regular sunscreen.


3. To numb eyebrows before tweezing, place a bag of frozen peas on your brow bone for two minutes.

4. Dab cream blush on lips instead of lipstick for a hint of color. It deposits pigments without the glossiness for a more natural finish.

5. Lipsticks that are more blue-based (think cherry red) counter teeth's yellow hues.


6. To remove hair products, apply shampoo to roots a few minutes before showering. The undiluted soap starts immediately unlocking the buildup from strands.

Great tips to know, right? Thanks, InStyle!

Have a great week ahead, everyone! :D

  10. I must be the only one that *always* leaves the shampoo in my hair for a few mins then rinses it off to get all the dirt off :) Some shampoo's suggest this....I think Kerastase and Phyo does :)

    I will give number 5 a try :)
