Prime your lids with a small amount of concealer and set it with a finely milled setting powder before applying your eyeshadow. It will hide any discoloration on your lids, while also making your shadows look more opaque.  Added bonus, it will also keep your shadows in place all day.

The skin around the eye is super delicate! Your ring finger has the softest touch, so always use your ring finger to blend concealer beneath your eyes.   Follow this tip when applying eye cream to this area as well.

Today’s tip is about how to apply mascara without weighing down your lashes.

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Start applying the mascara from the roots of your lashes and not the tips. Using this technique will give you enough extra volume at the base of the lashes without weighing down the tips of eyelashes.

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

This week’s tip is about preventing your mascara from getting on your upper lids:Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

We all know about those crazy faces we make while applying mascara. Haha!

To prevent your newly applied wet mascara from smudging on your upper lids while applying mascara to your lower lashes,  simply apply mascara to your lower lashes first.

Seems like such a simple tip, but I have a feeling that a lot of people don’t think about doing it that way.

You will prevent a smudgy mess from happening because your wet top lashes won’t be brushing up against your upper lid leaving little black smudges on your beautiful eye shadow while you are applying mascara to your lower lashes.the balm mascara | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

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 love to wear long dangling earrings!

It is so annoying to be looking amongst your jewelry for the perfect pair of earrings and only being able to find one of them.  One way I keep all my earrings organized and easy to find is with buttons.  I insert the earrings into the button holes and have a simple yet ingenious way to keep my earrings together and organized.  Now whenever I am looking in my jewelry box for a pair of earrings they are already together and easy to find.

Baby wipes are not just for babies!

If you are a mother, you will already know all about this tip, I am not telling you anything new, but baby wipes are amazing for so many things. One of my favorite things to use baby wipes for is removing my makeup.  Since the wipes are made for delicate baby skin they are also great for the more sensitive skin of the face.

I usually get the scent free and sensitive skin ones.  Not only are they  gentle, but also efficient at getting the job done.  Also, baby wipe cost so much less than the wipes that are specifically labeled as “makeup remover wipes”.

This weeks tip has nothing to do with beauty or makeup, but it is still a great tip!

I was using my microwave the other day and what I was heating up exploded all over the inside.  So gross and so annoying to clean up.  This weeks tip is a simple way to effortlessly clean your microwave.

Look at how gross and dirty the inside of my microwave is! Yuck!

Fill a microwave safe bowl with 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1 cup of water. Put the mixture into the microwave and heat it on high for 10 minutes.  Let it sit in the microwave for an additional 5 minutes.  Remove the bowl and wipe down walls, top, bottom and door of the microwave.  (Be careful when you take the bowl out, it will be hot!)  The steam from the vinegar water mixture will have loosened everything from the inside of the microwave making it quick and easy to wipe clean.  It is like magic!

If you have sad straight eye lashes like I do, there is hope and this tip is for you!

Personally, my super straight eyelashes will curl beautifully… only to become super straight and very sad again as soon as I apply mascara.

This is what my eyelashes look like before I curl them.

Problem solved by only using waterproof mascara.  While that is a great tip that I learned from Wayne Goss, that isn’t actually this weeks tip….

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
Great Lash mascara is a cult classic for a reason!

Some mascara formulas are awesome in the regular version and terrible in the waterproof version.  So, when I want to use a regular non waterproof mascara, but also want my lashes to stay curled, I first apply a thin layer of waterproof mascara concentrating at the roots of my lashes, then using the regular non waterproof mascara I apply a second and third (sometimes even a fourth) coat of mascara.  This keeps the curl to my lashes while still being able to get the benefits of whichever regular mascara I want to use.
