There are more beauty tips in this world than a girl knows what to do with. Like my NaNa always said, “The more you know, the more you grow.” I've always believed that this statement could be applied toward any facet of life. Below you will find a list of my personal favorite beauty tips to make sure your beauty routine is easier and more efficient this time around. Slay away!


1. NAILS: Don’t have time to completely repaint your chipped nails? Add a quick coat or two of glitter polish on top to make the chips less noticeable. Viola, new nail job!

2. HAIR: To cause less heat damage let your hair air dry before flat ironing or using a curling wand. The hair dryer plus flat iron/curler is a double dose of heat and damage to your locs.

3. HAIR: To keep your hair from falling flat during the day, use a root lifter, tease the roots a bit and set it with hairspray.

4. HAIR: Did a bad, at-home hair-dye turn your hair orange and brassy? Use a color-depositing shampoo with purple tones to fix brassy hair color. You can find these at your local beauty supply shop.

5. FACE: A fan of false lashes? Be sure to use dark glue, instead of the white glue, so it blends better. Plus, it doubles as eyeliner!

6. HAIR: To add volume to clean or even unwashed hair, use a dry shampoo spray to amp up your do.

7. NAILS: Out of nail polish remover? Apply a coat of clear nail polish to your nails, then wipe it off with a paper towel. Bye, old polish!

8. MAKEUP: Clean out your makeup bag at least once every 6 months. Not only will you have more room, but also you’ll be rid of all those unwanted or expired products. Out with the old, in with the new!

9. HAIR: Avoid continuously running your hands through your hair throughout the day to lessen the amount of oil transferred, which can leave your hair limp and unflattering.

10. FACE: Don’t pick at your zits. The amount of bacteria from your fingers will only increase the chance of infection and attempting to pop it will only make the reddening of your skin worse.

11. FACE: Want to pull off the perfect red lip? Always remember to choose a shade that matches your undertone. {ei: Warm undertones should go for warmer reds and cooler undertones should go for cooler reds.}

12. FACE: Wearing white eyeliner on your waterline will make your eyes appear less red.

13. HAIR: Brush your fingers through your curls after styling to create a more tousled appearance.

14. NAILS: Always keep your cuticles moisturized. The more hydrated your cuticles, the stronger your nails.

15. TOP TIP: Splurge on the things that really matter, like your everyday beauty items. And fall in love with your makeup. It’ll make applying it much more enjoyable.
