Try adopting a new beauty trick each week and you will see the results.
Put the sparkle back in your eyes
1. Keep your eye makeup remover and eye cream in the fridge to give your eyes a colling treat at the end of the day.
2. To ease eye strain, rest the palms of your hands over your closed eyes for one minute. Slow your breathing too.
3. Gloomy eyelids make you look tired. Use any cream that contain lemon to correct discoloration for refreshed eyes.
4. To put the spotlight on your peepers, blend a highlighter with skin perfecting ingredients and soft-focus powders, on the inner corners.
De-Puff those eye bags
5. Lack of sleep or exercise is the main cause of those dreaded eye bags. To keep them at bay, flush out excess fluids by going for a walk or run. Also, try not to drink any water after 8pm.
6. Hold an ice-cold canned drink (or a metal spoon that's been refrigerated) over your eye area to deflate and soothe instantly. You can also head to the sauna - the steam will banish puffiness in a flash.
7. Perk your peepers by dabbing the eye area with aloe vera gel, which also has temporary firming actions.
Get your lashes to curl for longer
8. Use a full-lash curler followed by a corner lash curler for inner and outer lashes. To better set the curl, heat your curler for a few seconds with a hairdryer. Apply a coat of mascara, let it dry completely and re-curl your lashes and reapply the mascara.
Perfect the smoky look
9. The quickest way to get rocker-chick eyes is to draw a thick line on your eyelids using a soft khol pencil and then gently smudging it with a sponge-tip applicator or cotton swab.
10. Offset sexpot eyes with fresh, girlie makeup. Full-on eyes demand muted, low-keys cheeks and lips. By making your base luminescent and giving your cheeks and lips a gentle shimmer, you'll draw the focus back to those ravishing smoky eyes.
Don't be afraid of colour
11. If you have only been using neutral colours, it's time to try more vibrant shades like pink, plum, and turquoise. Experiment with one shade each time if you are hesitant.
Look dishy-eyed
12. To open up your eyes, add falsies - individual lashes look more realistic than full strips.
13. A luminous eyeshadow - try peach or light, neutral shades like bone or gold - paired with dark liner adds drama minus the showgirl glitz. Dampen a slanted liner brush, dab into black or brown powder and tap off the excess. Starting at the inner corner of the upper lid, draw a thick line close to the lashes, getting thicker towards the outer corner and wing it. Apply several coats of mascara to balance the dark liner.
Accentuate your eye colour
14. Bring attention to your eyes by using a contrasting shade of mascara. Choose navy, burgundy or plum instead of black or brown.
Get brows that wow
15. If you have yet to pluck your brows, go to a professional to get them shaped, then maintain them by trimming or plucking away any strays. If scanty, fill them in using a brown eyebrow pencil for a soft, natural finish. Draw stokes in the direction of hair growth. comb through by sweeping upwards and fix your brows with an eyebrow gel.
Achieve a fresh-faced glow
16. Priming your skin is key to looking radiant. Choose one with both skincare and cosmetic benefits, and make sure it has light-reflecting pigments to give your skin added dimension.
17. For a subtle radiance, mix liquid foundation with a pea-size amount of illuminating lotion. If using a compact foundation, finish by dusting a highlighter all over. A highlighting pen adds a glow to areas you want to highlight.
Fake flawless skin fast
18. If your skin is oily, pat on compact foundation after. But for a dewy glow, dust loose powder all over the face.
Smile away your worries
19. There's no need for Botox - just quit worrying and smile more! When you worry, you tend to frown, which in turn leads to deep wrinkles in long run.
Say hello to rosy cheeks
20. Your ideal shade of blusher is the colour your cheeks turn when you blush naturally, which usually varies from peach to rose pink. To lengthen a round face, place the colour on the centre of the apples of your cheeks and extend towards your temples. To fill out a longer face, keep the colour mostly on your apples and blend well.
Boost Hydration
21. Treat your skin to a moisture boost every week. Use a sheet mask after a cleanse and scrub to fully absorb its nourishing goodness.
Put out your T-zone woes
22. Fight an oily T-zone and enlarged pores with a weekly clarifying mask.
Pucker up perfectly
23. Using gentle circular motions, eliminate dry lips by exfoliating and smoothening them with a toothbrush.
24. Moisturise and protect your lips with a super-hydrating lip salve daily.
25. To keep your lip colour from running or disappearing, fill in your lips with a pencil in the same colour as your lippie.
26. For a glam finish, apply a moisture-rich lippie. Using a lip brush, start from the middle of the bottom lip and work outwards.
Master the art of nude lips
27. Line your lips with a neutral or fresh tone lip liner. Next, fill in lips with a beige lippie. Glaze over with a clear lip gloss for added shine.
Start your day with a feel-good treat
28. Forget caffeine - perk up in the am by making your morning shower a sensory experience.
Know your strengths
29. Every woman has at least one thing really great about her face, if not more. Find yours and learn to play them up.
Pick up some sleek tricks
30. Slick hair with a leave-in conditioner to protect it from dry air on the plane or extreme heat outdoors. Simply rinse off when you get to the hotel or home!
Get ultra-glossy locks
31. Amp up dull hair by applying a pea-size amount of a hair glaze before blow-drying.
32. Remove product build-up with a clarifying treatment so your hair will be primed for better shine.
Cheat your way to va-va-voom hair
33. Set hair in hot rollers and keep them in for 3 to 5 minutes. Mist with hairspray. Release, shake out curls and voila.
34. To poof up flat hair, "lift" your roots by backcombing or teasing with a tail comb then brushing through lightly.
35. After washing your hair, top your head over and blast with a hairdryer. Mist a volumising product then blow-dry again.
36. Short bobs give the illusion of thicker, fuller tresses. Great for those with fine hair.
Nourish your name
37. A rich conditioner may not be enough for damaged locks. Once a week, leave your conditioner in and stand in a hot shower for 10 minutes. The steam helps the conditioner penetrate hair better.
Bangs away
38. A chic way to keep fringe that's growing out away from your eyes is to tuck them behind the ears with a stylish headband.
No more kinks
39. A straightening iron is a must if you want to tame kinks and frizz without stepping into a salon. For a more natural finish, give the ends a twirl as you run the iron through your hair so it doesn't look too flat.
Twist your hair
40. Jazz up a boring hairstyle by weaving a few small plaits into your hair.
41. Hair twisted into a haphazard, relaxed updo is very sexy. Loosen the style by massaging the top and sides with your palms.
Fake a salon manicure
42. Massage a cuticle oil onto your nail beds to hide dry skin and gloss over with a clear polish.
Stand up straight
43. A good posture gets you noticed, and improves your appearance, instantly. Keep your chin up, head high, shoulders back and stomach in, and stand up straight.
Keep BO under control
44. Use a deodorant that offers long-lasting protection.
Pamper your digits
45. Scrub your feet in the shower with a foot file and wear gloves and socks to bed after applying a thick layer of cream.
Wax to the max
46. Terrified of Brazilian waxes? Pop an aspirin 30 minutes before your appointment. If you wax your legs, exfoliate regularly to keep ingrown hair at bay.
DIY incredible waves
47. Divide hair into 6 to 8 sections and French braid them (so the waves are close to the roots). Leave on overnight. When you wake up, release the plaits and spritz on hairspray, then run your fingers through.
Feign sculpted arms
48. Do 3 sets of 10 push ups and rest a minute between each. This move increases blood flow so your arms look firmer.
Attain baby-soft skin
49. Always moisturise after showering. Towel-dry then spritz a fast-absorbing body oil, when skin is still moist.
Eliminate stress
50. Learning to relax dispels stress, an helps slow the ageing process. To relax your entire body, lie in a quiet room, tense each muscle group (from the toes up) in turn for about 6 seconds, then relax.
