Curl your lashes.  nick ak mascara

Leave out the false lashes this year and get that natural flutter by curling your own lashes to perfection. All you need is the right mascara and an eyelashes curler to get your lashes picking up a stiff wind. Take your eyelash curler and start by gently pressing them together, this pinches the lash at the root creating the lift.Carry it on along the length of your lashes for the ultimate lift. Next, apply your mascara by wiggling it back and forth at the root of your lash and dragging it up. This method deposits the most mascara and leaves your lashes evenly coated and extra lengthy.

There's nothing worse than applying a lip gloss to a dry lip, the best thing to do is scrub off all the cracked skin and moisturize to the max before applying any kind of gloss. Exfoliate the lips by mixing a tea spoon of sugar into a tea spoon of coconut oil, the granules of sugar should slough off any dead skin leaving your lips smooth and plump. Now they need moisture, apply a lip balm containing Shea butter to keep your lips feeling their absolute best. Once you've followed these steps, apply a light wand of lip gloss to enhance your natural lip color. To buy coconut oil, click here. To buy lip gloss and lip balm, click here. Face Mask

Adding moisturizer also helps to keep at bay dry flaky patches which most people are prone to over the winter period. Click here to browse our selection of foundations.
