Hold your breath more?
go outside, maybe
when its really hot outside and the sun is shinning go outside and stair at the sun for a couple hours come in and you’ll have color
pinch your cheeks to make them rosy.
pinch your cheeks for blush and bite ur lips for red lipstick
Get some tanning creams
sorry.. hun u can’t really get color without wearing makeup. pinch ur cheeks occasionally to get some color but u could try laser surgery to put makeup on . that’ll stay forever and u won’t have to apply makeup daily anymore. for dark bags, try going to like CVS and buy the L’oreal bags cream. it totally works! :)
Pinch your cheeks or slap them but not to hard. This will give you a natural blush.
Ok first of all, dark circles can be hereditary so to try and prevent them drink lots of water, eat healthy and get plenty of sleep. If you don’t want to wear makeup try a tinted moisturizer and a blush, that will make your skin have more color!!.
eat well and excercise well. and use stuff like proactiv or olay or clearasil. stuff like this will get rid of pimples as well as keep you’re skin clean and stuff.
There is no way without using some type of makeup.
It doesnt have to be heavy, just a bit of powder swept across your cheeks and nose and forehead and chin but lightly with a brush.
Thats all i can recommend if you not much into makeup.
i suggest buying some form of bronzer.
One of my friends was tired & pale all the time. Her doctor found that she was anemic, She started getting shots of vitamin B12, and her whole face brightened up about 2 days later, u could really see a difference!!!
You can exercise daily, 3-4 times a week, an hours each time. You will have a rosy glow after working out, and when you’re not working out, your skin will be clear and radiant, as if lit from within.
Also, drink lots of water, to keep hydrated.
You could fall in love.
Join a track team, or a dance squad.
Try chasing your puppy all over the park.
Exfoliate your face several times a week. Put on moisteriser daily.
As for your bags, sleep on two pillows, and on your side or back, not your belly.
You can also try depuffing eye gels, from Nivea, Origins, Oil of Olay, Clinique.
For the dark circles, use a concealer that is slighter lighter then your natural skin tone, that has a yellowish base (to cancel out the grey and blue of the circles.) Apply it with your ring finger, which has a the lightest touch. Pat it on.
Good concealers:
Physicians’ Formula, Maybelline, MAC, Clinique, Cover Girl, L’oreal.
Set with powder.
If you want more colour in your skin without a makeup feel, try rubbing in a cream blush that is baby pink or peach. Try:
Smashbox O-Glow, a clear cream that you put on your cheeks, and then it turns into a blush that matches your skintone.
Also, Benefit Benetint.
Vincent Longo stains.
Good luck!
=)
unless u wanna stay in the sun but I reccomend getting a tan…–no not those stay at the beach for 5 hours tan….a spray on tan!
there are new lotions out on the market that have some type of bronzers in them and as you use them they gradual add color. I know lots of the higher cost brands now sell them. I do know that makeup is sometimes a bummer but I have heard really really good things about the bare minerals being very light and undetectable by the wearer. Hope this helps some. Oh they also have some tanning face beds that can also help with this if your not worried about UVB and UVA.
a-d oinment and tea bags is good to temporarly releive under eye bags ….vaseline helps dry skin fast…..toothpaste dabs help temporarly relieve redness.Witch hazel gets rid of black heads (the ones on nose)and Less is More..=0)
Gloss is much prettier than lipstick and do not over do it.Translucent powder is great for a glowing effect.
First get your skin in good condition, there are some good cheap skin care out there, people worry about make up first but you are wasting your time trying to get your make up to look good when your skin is not in good condition. Secondly you need to know what colours are best for you, Hair and eye colour makes all the difference when applying make up. it sounds boring but when your skin is at its peak then you will see it was all worth it.

For your finger nails :
It’s always great to have your nails freshly manicured
and taken care of!
So do your self a favor put warm water in a bowl, mixed with warm olive oil for 10 to 15 minutes, while massing your hands push your cuticals back.
The olive oil works amazingly, It helps your nails to grow strong & long =)
After you’ve done that, Wash your hands and put your favorite lotion on!
( This treatment applies for your toe-nails as well! )
-Remember Vitamin E is great for your skin & nails!-
———-
For your skin tone & definition in your face,
Be sure to always choose a foundation that fits
your skin tone as naturally as possible!
If you have trouble finding one that is almost
exact to your skin tone,
Don’t be afraid in asking someone
for a little help & their opinions!
Usually it will help if you
have someone else’s thoughts upon the matter!
Another thing that works so great,
Is when you get out of the shower,
Wash your face and get it clean,
Then put a little sugar in a cup or bowl,
Add a tiny bit of water and stir it around with your finger…
Take the sugar and apply it all over your face,
Rub it in with a circular motion….
After your finished…
You can then rinse & pad your face dry!
If you use the sugar method,
It will work, It will keep your skin so soft and exfoliates your skin like magic! It leaves your skin with little oil, as well as hardly no pimples at all!
I love it, I do it all the time!
——-
If you’d like to make your smile whiter without getting it done
professionally….
First off just brush your teeth daily, but when brushing be sure to use baking soda! Do it once or twice daily.
You can also use colgate whitening tooth paste that helps a lot!
—-
For your lips … Always keep some type of lip balm on them,
Especially durring the winter months, If your going to the beach and it’s really windy, Always remember to bring lip blam! Chapped lips are actually very unattractive! Keep your lips juicy and soft.
You can always use sugar on your lips just
as I said with your face! It feels so good on your lips!
You can also put Vitamin E on your lips,
It looks like shiny lip gloss, and it stays on
for a decent amount of time while leaving your
lips soft, silky and plump.
I use it daily as well… And the best part about it is,
Is that it’s totally natural!!!
——-
For your legs,
Always be sure to pay great attention to your legs,
Make sure you taking care of them and your skin…
Waxing is great for the legs, But it’s a rather painful
process, So I’d reccommed using Nair products!
It works great, You just spread it around on your
area’s that you wish the hair to be gone and rinse it off!
Your hair stays gone for about 2 or 3 days as well!
Shaving just becomes a pain in the rear-end sometimes!
=)
—-
For your hair,
It really helps if you put leave in conditioner in for just about
any hair types…. I highly recommend not using any type of hair iron. It will kill you hair, It’s absolutley terrible!
Always keep your hair trimmed, With no split ends!
Split ends aren’t attractive at all …. trust me!
Another trick I know that is for rather dry hair,
Wether it is curly or straight, long or short…
If your hair is dry, then this little trick will work just great to solve that problem….
You have to wash your hair as usual,
But be sure to wash it with warm water…
After it is washed, Get a small towel that you
can wrap around your hair, And wet it down with warm water.
Take vedgtable oil, or olive oil & wrap the damp warm towel around your head, Leave it there on top of your head for 10-15 minutes, This will moisterize the hair, And give it more body! After you’ve waited 10 or 15 minutes, Wash the oil out, And put in leave in conditioner, Style your hair as usual!
(( NOTE : Always remember, That if your hair is exposed to a little too much sun, It can damage your hair, So if you are going out doors somewhere, be sure to wear a hat some of the time to protect your hair from breakage and split ends! ))
——-
For your clothes,
be sure to get colors that accent your skin tone & hair as well!
Make sure that your make-up matches your clothes as much
as possible … And espcially if you wear lots of make-up!
It’s almost spring time,
So go with spring out fits to blend in with nature.
———
For your make up …
A lot of people will actually put a light lip gloss
on their eye lids, and then put some eyeshadow on
top to make the color last longer instead of fading!
It also helps if you curl your eye lashes,
With an eye lash curler. But just so you are aware…
Eyelash curlers actually ware out your eyelashes,
And make them fall out much sooner than they should!
It’s a natural process for your eye lashes to fall out,
But if you force this process, it will be really bad for your eyelashes!
But if you do wish to curl them,
Make sure you heat up your eyelash curler before
you put them up to your eyes and curl it.
=)
Also remember, your eyebrows make out your entire eye,
So make sure that you are shaping your eyebrows to best fit your face! Don’t let them get all long and bushy! Eww. Who actually likes to look a bushy eyebrows?
So If you can’t or haven’t ever shaped your own
eyebrows … then go to a salon and have them
do it for you! Trust me, It’s a wonderful look when
your eyebrows are trimmed and cute looking!
———–
A day at the spa is always fun,
But sometimes some people can’t afford
to go to the spa every day!
So do it at home,
And here’s how you treat your self to a great relaxing day,
You take a nice hot bath, With soothing soaps & candle light… Wash your body, Shave where you’d like that’d way your skin is soft and smooth on places like your legs & such… After taking a bath, Then you rub your favorite oil on your body, and then you put your favorite mud mask on your face, Get two cucumbers and chop them into two slices, Relax put on some music, and put the two slices of cucumbers on your eyes. give your self a manicure, and enjoy the time.
The cucumbers actually take out toxins in your skin,
And they eliminate any bags that you may have under your eyes!!
(( Potatos do the same thing, But I prefer cucumbers! lol )
—————————-
Always remember to use some type of lotion to
keep your skin warm, soft and silky!
Oatmeal is great for your skin,
You could even use oatmeal for a facial mask if you wanted!
Eat healthy, It makes you look, Smell, and feel a million times better!

1 tsp/5g pure acacia honey

Put all the ingredients in a blender, or mash by hand in a bowl. Add extra orange juice if the mixture is too thick. Use your fingers to spread the mask over your face and neck and leave it on for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer, before removing. Use a warm flannel to rinse off the mask – this will help gently exfoliate skin as well as clean your face. This mask will keep for a day or two in the fridge if you don’t use it all.

You will need:
1 egg
Juice of one lemon
4 tbsp cup non-fat dry milk powder
1 tbsp witch hazel
Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix well. Alternatively, you can blend them together by using a fork or a wire whisk. Apply the mixture to your face, neck and chest and allow it to dry for around 15 minutes. Use the remaining cream as a cleanser to remove the mask. Then, rinse your face thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.
Honey Cleansing Scrub : Mix 1 tablespoon honey with 2 tablespoons finely ground almonds and ½ teaspoon lemon juice. Rub gently onto face. Rinse off with warm water.
These homemade facial masks will make your skin glow from the inside. So go ahead… try them out and all the best!! Ideal for both men and women of all ages.

We all know by now that using a conditioner is necessary to control frizzy hair. The trick is to leave the conditioner on for a few minutes before rinsing it out. If you have extra time, try wrapping your hair in a towel with the conditioner on and let your hair “soak” for about 10-15 minutes. Then rinse it out.
When you’re done, wrap your hair in a towel for several minutes to get out the access water instead of rubbing the towel over your head. Both towel rubbing and brushes lead to hair breakage and make it much more vulnerable to frizzy hair.
Try just putting on some mousse and comb it in. Let air dry and don’t run your fingers or a comb through it until it’s completely dry. Using a blow dryer in hot weather will probably make the problem worse. If you want your hair straight and that’s the only way you can get it that way, then by all means, use the dryer. Just use the cool setting and don’t use it every day.
Many shampoos and conditioners are good. however, not all big-name brands are better, they just carry a larger price tag. It’s a good idea to use multiple brands. This helps to avoid build-up that will make your hair appear heavy and dull. Don’t wash your hair every day. Your natural oils help tame the frizz.
Another way to stop frizzy hair is using a frizz control remedy like Frizz-Ease which is available in department and drugstores. This is not a shampoo or conditioner but is designed especially for frizzy hair. These serums come in small bottles, but a little goes a long way. Try using this over a thin coat of mousse. As a result, your hair will be more shiny and less frizzy.
If you wash your hair in the mornings, you’re not going to have time for all of this and you will have to skip leaving it in the towel. Just follow the other steps or consider doing this in the afternoon, so it’s dry before you go to bed.
A good cut is the best tactic to prevent control frizzy hair, and you can ask your stylist to use thinning scissors to thin your hair if it is too thick. This should make it much more manageable. Thinning scissors are easy to use and available in stores also, but you need to know how to use them. Sometimes just having it done once at a salon is educational. Watch how they use the thinning scissors and follow the lead next time if you can’t afford to go there every time.
Leave-in conditioners that you can spray on will often help dry and damaged hair. You may need to reapply it later on in the day. What works for one person does not necessarily work for the next, because everyone has different lifestyles and climates, so it’s trial and error.
Finally, one last tip. Various hot oil treatments for dry and damaged hair can give you some temporary control to frizzy hair, but you’ll probably need to use them weekly or biweekly.
