10 Tips from Kristle Jones

Tear-Proof Your Wedding Day

When preparing your makeup for your wedding day, do not forget to pack the waterproof mascara. Your wedding weekend is sure to be an emotional one and you don't want your bridal glow to be overshadowed by black mascara streaks running down your face. If you have a favorite mascara already, apply that first, then apply the waterproof mascara for your last coat. If you are booking a makeup artist to professionally apply your makeup, make sure that she has waterproof mascara that she will bring along for you! So make sure you look absolutely flawless all day long with waterproof mascara.

Smudge-Proofing Your Nail Polish

If you’ve just smeared a coat of shiny polish over your nails, but are in a hurry to get to that holiday party, then there is no time to waste. Quickly turn that soft smudge-able polish into a hard shiny coat by dipping your nails in a bowl of ice cold water for that quick fix. You are now ready to go off to your holiday happenings!

Getting a Natural Look Using Little Makeup

To get a natural look, without using much makeup is very simple. Your first step would be to apply a tinted moisturizer all over your face and neck. By applying a tinted moisturizer, you will have combined three steps, which are moisturizer, foundation and light concealer. Next you can apply a little blush or bronzer to the apple of your cheeks. Blush will give a little color to your face and bronzer will make you look like you’ve been at the beach all day. Following your blush or bronzer, you want to apply one coat of brown mascara to your top lashes only. Comb your eyebrows into place with and eyebrow brush. And finally, apply a little tinted lip balm or gloss and you are set to go. These five quick and easy steps should take no longer than three to five minutes to give you that natural look you want without using very much makeup.

Tightening Under-eye Puffiness

There are a few options to help de-puff and tighten your under-eye area. The first thing you can do that is very simple is to add another pillow under your head while you sleep. By adding an additional pillow, you will encourage your eye area to drain fluid from that area. Another easy trick is to store your under-eye creams in the refrigerator. That way when you apply the under-eye cream it will be cold, which will tighten your eye area right up. One last trick is to make sure you are using a moisturizer specifically for the under-eye area. That area on your face is very thin skin, so anything you put on it will soak right into it. If you are using a product not intended for this area, you could end up irritating the eye, causing under-eye puffiness. So remember to elevate your head at night, store your eye creams in the refrigerator and make sure you are using the proper products for your under-eye area!

Get Your Glow On!

For that extra bridal glow on your wedding day, use a bronzing powder with a little shimmer in it. Use one not only on your face but on your shoulders and décolleté as well. Apply with a extra large powder brush all over and before you put your dress and veil on. It will give you a faux glow and everyone will think it’s from newlywed bliss. Try Fusion Beauty's Glow Fusion bronzer with a hint of shimmer, because it will provide that blushing bride sort of radiance.

Do I Really Need a Conditioner If I Use a Conditioning Shampoo?

Are you one of those people that think, 'Do I really need a conditioner if my shampoo says conditioning on the label?' The answer is yes, you really do need a conditioner, even if you are using a conditioning shampoo. Shampoos have a particular purpose, and that is for cleansing. They have ingredients, such as sodium lauryl sulfates and sodium laureth sulfates to break up your natural oils, hair products and dirt and rinse your hair clean. They do not condition your hair whatsoever. Although some have more gentle ingredients than others, they are never truly conditioning. Conditioners on the other hand are for moisturizing and smoothing your hair after it has been cleansed. A good conditioner will leave your hair in a soft and manageable condition with less frizz, less tangles and more vitality. Remember that you only need to put conditioner on the last 2/3 of the length of your hair. Your scalps natural oils will condition the hair closest to your root.

Taking Your Makeup From Day to Night

It’s relatively easy to get your makeup to go from day to night. These tips will be very helpful when going from the office to a dinner date or from an afternoon wedding to an evening reception. For the daytime, you’ll want to apply everyday makeup. A tinted moisturizer, concealer, blush, light eye shadow and mascara should do the trick for the daytime. For your evening makeup, you’ll want to bring extra blush, lip liner and lip stick, as well as eyeliner and a darker version of the shadow you will wear for the daytime. Before your evening event, stop into the ladies room to transform yourself. You’ll want to apply another layer of blush on your cheeks, and then sweep the excess over your forehead and chin (this will give you a little extra color, as well as refresh your face makeup). Next, apply your lip liner and lip stick color to give you that something extra. Finally, you will apply your darker eye shadow to the crease of your eye and also run your eyeliner on the top of your lash line only. These last steps will give a little dramatic effect to your makeup. That is all you will need to take your makeup from day to night.

Permanently Dyeing Your Eyelashes

Permanently dyeing your eyelashes is a great option for people with lightly colored eyelashes. Although there are several home kits available, this service is best left to a professional esthetician. Dyeing your eyelashes at home can result in eye irritation or even blindness if the dye gets into your eyes. An esthetician is professionally trained to dye eyelashes, so that the previously mentioned problems will not happen. The dyes usually come in two colors, black and brown and will last anywhere from three to six weeks before fading. Dyeing your eyelashes can cost anywhere from $15 to $45, depending on where you go. An alternative to dyeing your eyelashes is the fabulous new long-wearing mascaras that just came out. Mary Kay, Almay and Revlon all have great long-wearing mascara products that are supposed to last from 12 hours to three days! These mascaras are usually quite cost effective, running under $10. If you are interested in getting your eyelashes dyed, call around to your local salon or spa to see if they offer an eyelash tinting service.

Lose 10 Pounds Instantly on Your Wedding Day

Didn't have time to lose those last 10 pounds before the wedding? No problem! Just fake it with a great body shaper like Spanx. Spanx will make you feel fabulous on your special day by smoothing, sucking and slimming you all over. Just slip one of the many styles on underneath your gown to make sure that you not only feel fabulous, but look the part too!

Greasy Strands Gone in a Flash

Need to get somewhere in a hurry, but your hair is as greasy and flat as an oil spill? Just sprinkle some baby powder on your roots and blow dry upside down for two minutes for refreshed tresses!
