Makeup tips? Home-made skin care recipes? -

As part of my New Year s Resolution, I wanted to get gorgeous (inside and out). Any makeup tips will be greatly appreciated. Also, my skin is dry, but tends to break out a lot. What can I do to help with that? Throw in a couple of weight-loss tips, too, if you ve got them.

a good mask for dry skin is mashed up bananas. you just mash up a banana and rub it on your face and leave it there for about 5 minutes before rubbing it off. the potassium is amazing for your skin and really moisturizes and smoothes it. in addition, it also tightens the thin skin under your eyes to help prevent wrinkles. another home tip for dry skin is rubbing some olive oil on your skin-it makes it soo smooth! thats what a lot of african american models do during the winters b/c they re skin is more sensitive to harsh winds and temperatures. (i read it in seventeen :) ) and....neutrogena acne wash pink grapefruit scrub would be perfect for you! the microbeads in it rub away dry, flaky skin while the medication for acne in it helps your skin. plus it smells good :) and...drink losta water!! its amazing for your skin (making it smooth and dewey) and helps clean out your digestive system, improving your metabolism. cardio exercise is also good for quick, fat burning weigh loss. and a cool make-up tip is using deep purple/violet eyeliner. it makes most eye colors pop! btw thats a good resolution! :)

i think that an alvacado mask is good (use once a month)http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��good tips:-take off makeup before bed (no matter how tired u are)-change ur pillow case often. dead skin cells are there, gross.-clean ur makeup bag. throw away old makeup.-be sure ur ne`k matches ur face!!!cardio is good for weight loss. and u need to do exersices where u want to tone. for tummy i d say hula hoop, walk, sit ups, etc.if u want to tone pilates is good for that because u dont get bulky, but u still look good.if ur serious join ur local gym :)

Makeup tips:secret to a natural, flawless look1. Apply foundation to your cheeks, forehead, and chin using a foundation brush, sponge, or clean fingertips. Blend the foundation all the way to your natural hairline with long, light strokes.2. Continue blending over the jawline and onto your neck to achieve a natural, seamless look. Check your face and neck in natural light to make sure the foundation is completely blended in all areas.3. If under-eye circles or red spots remain, do not add more foundation; it can look heavy and cakey. Instead, try a concealer. Homemade skincare recipe:Unscented cat litter, water and aloe vera. This makes a awesome clay mask for your skin.1 bag cat litter (must be marked 100 Percent Natural Clay )WaterDrops of your favorite essential oilTo make the mask, mix in a couple tablespoons of the cat litter with water and drops of oil (we find the oil helps make the experience somehow less kitty litter-ish) Apply mask to face Wash off after 15 minutes. Weight loss tips:Fruits and vegetables are packed with beneficial fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. They fill up your stomach fast so you feel full earlier. They are also low in calories and helps to keep your calorie count low. Everyone has his or her favorite treats. Simply allow yourself a little indulgence, but watch out for the frequency and the quantity. Having a small treat once in a while can be rewarding to your weight loss experience. Cutting too much of your favorite treats usually lead to an early relapse.
