Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

This week’s tip is something so simple yet I think it is great tip… Use Dove soap to wash off your makeup.

You don’t always need to spend a ton of money on fancy facial cleansers. For years I have been simply using Dove soap with a gentle face cloth to wash my face. It is very effective at removing makeup and cleaning my face without stripping my skin. Dove soap can also be used around the eyes without causing too much irritation.

I keep my soap in a plastic travel container to keep it clean and fresh.

While the original bar is wonderful, I have been recently using the shea butter scent. I find that all of the different scents work well, but the original and shea butter are my personal favorites.

Let me know if you try it out and what you think!

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

Instead of using a pencil, gel, or liquid liner to line the lower lash line use eye shadow. Take a small eyeshadow brush and a coordinating eyeshadow and apply it to the outer two-thirds of the lower lash line. Blending the darker color with the inner corner color will create a beautifully seamless look along the lower lash line. This simple trick will give dimension and depth to the eyes without looking too harsh. Don’t forget to blend blend blend!

This tip isn’t about makeup, but it is equally as important because it is about homemade cookies.

While I try to eat healthy most of the time, I have a major weakness for homemade cookies!

If you want your cookies to stay super soft and delicious for as long as possible store them with a piece of bread. You will be amazed how well this tip works. The bread will get stale and the cookies will stay soft and delicious!

Let me know if you try it and if you find that it works! Enjoy some cookies 😉

The trick is to make eyes look big and bold is to create depth with your eyeshadow. You can do this by first applying a lighter colored shadow all over your eyelid. Next using a darker shade apply it in the crease of your eye above your lid. This will give dimension and depth to the eyes. Don’t forget to blend blend blend! Blending the lid color with the crease color will create a beautifully seamless look.

This week’s tip is to use coconut oil as a makeup remover

I have mentioned before that I have to wear waterproof mascara if I want my lashes to stay curled. Since it is waterproof most regular cleanser will not remove my mascara. I like to remove every single little bit of my makeup every night, so I needed to figure out a way to get all my waterproof mascara off. That is when I discovered coconut oil as a makeup remover.

Coconut oil is great for so many things, but one of my favorite things to use it for is a natural makeup remover. A small amount goes a very long way, so a jar or bottle will last a long time!

I start with my eyes since it takes a little while for the oil to breakdown the mascara. I use take one pump of fractionated coconut oil or one tiny scoop of organic unrefined coconut oil. I rub it gently on my eyes in a circular motion. I let that settle in while I remove the rest of the make up from my face.

To remove the rest of the rest of my face makeup, I gently rub coconut oil in a circular motion all over my face. I wash it all off with a warm wet wash cloth*.

*You don’t want to let the coconut oil filled water that you rinse off your face with go down the drain. Over time it will harden and clog up your pipes. Pretty gross!

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

If you have been around Looking Joli Good for any amount of time, you know that I love long lashes! I never wear false lashes, mostly because the thought of putting glue next to my eyes makes me feel grossed out.

While there are so many great lash-pumping mascaras on the market, you don’t need to spend a ton of money on one of them. Instead, after applying your first coat of mascara quickly dust some translucent powder onto your lashes. Apply a second coat of mascara over the powder and be amazed at how full your lashes look!

I don’t know about you, but I think that liquid liner is one of the hardest products to master.

My tip for this week will help you apply liquid liner evenly on both eyes like a pro. Before applying black liquid eye liner, first use a taupe or lighter colored eyeliner pencil to lightly trace a practice line just above your upper lash line. Make sure the lines are even, then apply the liquid liner directly on top of the practice lines. No one will ever know that you practiced with taupe, and you will have a perfect eye look every time!

I love this taupe liner from Wet N Wild and for only $.99 you can’t beat the price!

This weeks tip is for using an eyeshadow stick…

Because you can skip the brushes, eye shadow sticks can be one of the easiest and quickest ways to do your eye makeup. They may seem a bit intense at first, especially since they usually dry quickly but with a bit of practice you can save a ton of time while looking amazing.

Blending quickly using just your finger tips use a darker shade starting at the lash line working your way up to the lid. Layer on more where needed for more saturation. Use a light shade at the brow bone. Sweep lightly along the lower lash line to create a smokey eye look.

You can also use a shadow stick as an eye primer to add depth to your shadow.

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

If you want to make the whites of your eyes look extra bright and pop, instead of lining your eyes with black or brown, use a navy blue or deep plum eyeliner. Just as a blue toned lipsticks will make you teeth look whiter, a navy or blue toned eyeliner will have the same effect on the whites of your eyes.

Two of my favorites are Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Mulberry or Indigo for $12 each or the INFALLIBLE Silkissime Eyeliner in plum $8.99.
