This weeks tip is short and sweet!  When storing your makeup remover wipes keep them upside down instead of right side up.  This simple change in direction will help to prevent the wipes at the top from drying out while the ones at the bottom remain extra wet and saturated.

You don’t have to break the bank in order to get a great facial primer.  Instead of spending $30 or more you can get a great facial primer in the feminine hygiene aisle…

Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel

Monistat Complete Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Don’t be hesitant or dissuaded from using this product on your face as a primer because of the name on the label is or which aisle it is found it. It works perfectly!

If you check out the ingredients for both the Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel and the BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer you will see that they are almost identical. I put the similar ingredients in bold, as you will see the main ingredients in the lists are practically the same.

Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel list of ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, Tocopheryl Acetate, Trisiloxane

Now check out the ingredients list for the BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Isononyl Isononanoate, Silica, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Isododecane, Phenoxyethanol, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Cyclohexasiloxane, Tocopheryl Acetate, Fragrance (Parfum), Mica, Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Limonene, Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Triethoxycaprylylsilane, BHT.

This weeks tip is short and sweet!  When applying mascara instead of sweeping upwards, sweep towards your nose. This simple change in direction will not only help make the lashes look fuller but will also make the eyes look larger as well.

When it comes to face makeup, no one wants to have a cake face!!!  Let’s be honest, sometimes it happens despite the best efforts!  This weeks tip can help to cut down on mid day makeup cake up.

When I want to keep my face looking fresh throughout the day I will reapply some loose face powder.  To prevent the powder from becoming cakey on my face, I always blot off the excess oil first.  Doing this simple step will prevent the powder from sticking and clumping to the oil and instead will give you the fresh face you are looking for.

You don’t need special blotting papers or sponges! I find that gently pressing a paper napkin or paper towel to my more oily areas does the trick perfectly.  One of the best paper napkins to use for oil absorption comes from Starbucks!  Those little brown paper napkins do the trick perfectly!  Whenever I am there I grab a handful for my purse.

Starbucks Napkins are perfect for blotting! | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I HATE chapped lips!!! I cannot even handle when my lips are dry at all!  If you want to exfoliate your lips quickly and easily without using a messy scrub you’ll love this tip…

Simply apply a thick layer of moisturizing lip balm to your lips and let is sit for a good amount of time.  I will usually apply it after I brush my teeth when I first wake up and go about my morning routine.  Then using a clean dry wash cloth, put your finger into the cloth making a little glove over your finger.  Using circular motions rub the balm off your lips exfoliating your lips at the same time.  The texture of the wash cloth will work as an exfoliator without having to use any other product.  Keep in mind that the lips are a very delicate area, so be sure that you don’t rub too hard!

I hope that you enjoyed this tip!

Here’s another tip for Tip Tuesday.

This week I am going to be talking about…Multi Masking!

Tip Tuesday Make up tips and tricks every Tuesday | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I don’t know about you, but all the parts of my face are not created equally!  It is kind of annoying!  While my forehead and cheeks are very normal my nose is dry and my chin always seems to be the place to break out.

This is where multi masking comes into play!  Using a few different types of face masks as the same time you can get what each area of your face needs.  By applying a clarifying mask to my chin and a moisturizing mask to my nose and a soothing mud mask to my cheeks and forehead area, I am giving each each part of my face what it needs all at the same time.

Tip Tuesday FORMULA 10.0.6 multi masking | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

There are so many great masks available!  I really like the Formula 10.0.6 mud masks. I’ve seen them at both Ulta and at Walgreens.com. They’re great and only around $6-7.  Added bonus they smell great and the packaging is super cute too!  I also recommend  the Queen Helene line of masks two of my favorites are the  Grape Seed Extract Peel Off Masque and especially the Mint Julep mask.  These are both less than $4.

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday…

I seriously hate it when I am trying to sharpen a makeup pencil and it keeps breaking!!!  (I hate wasting the product in a sharpener!) To prevent this from happening I put it in the freezer 30 minutes before I want to sharpen it. This simple trick helps to makes the tip less likely to crumble and break. If you are going to use the liner right after sharpening just soften it up a bit by drawing a quick line or two on the back of your hand.

Tip Tuesday...| lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I tend to set aside a time to sharpen all my dull liners at the same time, so I will throw them all into the freezer at the same time and set a timer for 30 minutes and then sharpen them all at once

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday…

I always tend to apply my foundation and concealer first and then my eye makeup. Unfortunately, this often results in fall out creating what looks like dark shadows under my eyes (not the look I am going for!)

Tip Tuesday...| lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

 Instead, after my foundation, I have recently been starting with eye makeup and then applying my concealer afterwards. That way, I can easily clean up any eye shadow that falls below my eyes. I also soak a cotton swab or two in makeup remover to have on hand to quickly and easily clean up any of the left over fall out. To finish, I apply my concealer under my eyes for a bright perfect under eye area.
