USE A LENGTHENING MASCARA
Make your eyelashes look longer
and fuller with a long-lasting lengthening
mascara. Many brands of mascara have a
formula specifically devoted to boosting
length and curl; however, these formulas
are often very thick and heavy. They will
weigh down your lashes. Only use a formula
that is lengthening and waterproof.
This can add more upward curls and volume
to your lashes.

PRACTICE CAUTION
AFTER WAXING
Following a wax, it is important to steer
clear of several things. Avoid using tanning
beds or getting any exposure to direct
sunlight. Also, don’t take steamy showers
or baths. Your pores are still wide open
during this period, so these activities are
really risky. You will achieve a better result
if you wait.

CLEAN YOUR TOOLS REGULARLY
Regularly wash all your cosmetic
brushes and tools to prevent breakouts
and keep colors as brilliant as they
were the day you bought the items. Fill
your bathroom sink with warm water and
a bit of gentle baby shampoo, working
the soap through the bristles. Rinse each
brush thoroughly and then allow them to
dry overnight. By washing your brushes,
you remove any residual makeup and prevent
acne-causing bacteria from growing.
PREVENT INGROWN HAIRS
By using lotion to moisturize your
skin on a daily basis, you may be able to
prevent ingrown hairs. Always moisturize
after you shave. Ingrown hairs can be
caused by having excessively dry skin, so
keeping skin moisturized is a must. Doing
so will extract current ingrown hairs, and
prevent future occurrences.
