Tips to look younger

Anti-aging techniques don't stop at serums and creams. Simple and easy tweaks to your routine can effectively take years off your look. Check out a few of our favorite one-step ways to create a youthful effect in seconds.

Everything about eyelashes tinting

Whether you get waxed, tweezed, or threaded, the effect of perfect arches is better than getting a fresh haircut! These furry features give your face geometric balance and help your eyes pop. But having polished brows requires more than getting rid of stray hairs every two weeks. Traditionally, notmatching your eyebrows to your hair color was something of a beauty faux pas. Nowadays, fashion shows around the world are stocked with flaxen-haired models parading down the runway with bold, brown, or colored arches. But taking a few minutes to darken your eyebrows adds time to your often already-rushed beauty routine. The answer? Semipermanent tinting! Understandably, this solution also translates to another cluster of very important hairs on your face: your eyelashes.

Beauty thoughts you must keep in mind

Is your beauty philosophy Zen enough? With the hectic and stressful life we all have, it’s easy to get caught up in bad beauty habits and brought down by low self-esteem. Whether you’re already feeling the winter blues or looking for a quick pick-me-up, look to these famous philosophers, artists, poets, and scientists for uplifting beauty advice. Remember, Beauties, it’s about inner beauty just as much as what you apply on your face.

Bread substitutes and why you should do it!

Whether you’re gluten free or playing up your eating-for-gorgeousness game, skipping bread much of the time can be a big step toward looking and feeling super bright. Here are some exciting perks of going bread-free, plus options so delicious and easy that you’ll forget you ever relied on the traditional sandwich for your daily “bread”.

Let it glow: tips for the perfect summer look

In the summer, everyone wants a gorgeous glow. Keeping your makeup polished in the heat and humidity may feel like an impossible task, but stop sweating. Let’s start with one basic rule when it comes to modern summer makeup: less is more. You don’t necessarily need to give up your favorite products, you just need to find ways to make them work for the intensity of the season.  

Here are a few pro tips (plus some easy fixes) for a natural, effortless makeup application.

Reading the labels: Deodorants.

For something that is considered a “must” in our society, one would think that these products would be safe to use on our skin. Unfortunately, the hidden truth is that deodorants and antiperspirants actually contain harmful chemicals that are toxic to our bodies.

Ingredients to Watch Out For

How to style Leopard Shoes

Repeat after me: leopard is a neutral, leopard is a neutral. Now look in your closet and tell me if you see a pair of leopard shoes of any kind? If so, amazing. If not, it's times to take the step (no pun intended) into everyone's favorite print. When styling leopard shoes the key is to remember that the print acts as a neutral and can be styled almost any way black shoes can be styled. See the tips below for ways to incorporate leopard shoes into your every day style: 

Basic tips to wear animal print

When you feel like showing your wild side, nothing speaks like a sexy animal print. Here's how to wear it right:

Scale animal prints to your size. Tighter prints like cheetah and leopard look great on most people. Larger scale prints like cow or giraffe have lots of white space in them and are more difficult to pull of.

How to wear a slit skirt

A few years ago Angelina Jolie flashed her leg at the Oscars in her remarkable red carpet gown and dresses with slits became immediately trendy with shoppers who wanted to show some skin.

The truth is that slit dresses and skirts are a classic, especially for formal looks. While the thigh-high slits may resonate on the red carpet, in real life you can get lots of bang for your fashion buck by trying a small slit.

How to camouflage cankles

You’ve heard of cankles, right? That’s where you have heavy calves and thick ankles that - -instead of tapering in at the ankles – seem to be one continuous, heavy leg.

Women who have thick ankles find that it's not an easy body flaw to disguise, but it's not impossible.

Tips to look taller

You can never look too tall! Even 6-foot, 50-something model Jerry Hall likes to look taller, in her monochromatic look with a V-neck and black fishnets to continue the long line.

Tips to look thinner

Sometimes all it takes is a small change in the way we wear everyday pieces to look instantly slimmer. For example, a few years ago I started buying longer-length jeans so I could wear heels with them. Small change, huge difference. I not only looked thinner and longer legged, I also looked more dressed up in heels and jeans.

Foods that will make you look younger

You can head off a lot of your most common beauty concerns simply by downing the right foods. That's right—eating well not only does wonders for your waistline and bolsters your immune system but can also provide some very real get-gorg benefits, such as smoothing wrinkles, giving hair a glossy shine and strengthening flimsy nails. "Your diet directly affects your day-to-day appearance and plays a significant role in how well you age," says Joshua Zeichner, MD. The smart approach, Dr. Zeichner says, is to create a plan that includes what he calls "the building blocks of healthy skin and hair"—nutrients, minerals and fatty acids—as well as antioxidants to protect your body from damaging environmental stresses. Get ready to nab some beauty-boosting perks by tossing these essential face-saving edibles into your grocery cart. 

Oats benefits for your skin

A hot bowl of oatmeal works wonders for your spirits on a cold Monday morning. But one form of the heart-healthy grains in particular—colloidal oats—are also amazing for skin. The stuff may just become your secret beauty weapon this winter.

How to extend the life of your pedicure

Few things are as sophisticated as a fresh pedicure. It makes you feel pulled together from head-to-toe, literally. But since it only takes one chipped paint job to ruin that feeling, especially during summer sandal season, we’ve compiled our best tips for making your pedi go the extra mile.

Now your hands can hide your age too

People always say your hands give away your age first (hello, wrinkles and sun spots!). While there are things you can do to prevent aging on your hands (like wearing SPF daily), until recently, there wasn’t much you could do to counter the signs of aging that are already present. But that’s about to change.

How to take care of your lips properly

Lips get a raw deal.

They're thin-skinned, lacking in oil glands, and exposed to the elements. As a result, they're easily chapped. Then there's the age factor: As we get older, lips become smaller and drier and lose color. But most women don't make lip care a big part of their beauty routine—and they should. Here's your plan for a healthier, smoother pout.

Teas that will make your skin glow

You know that drinking certain kinds of tea can be good for your health—but did you know that some teas also have skin benefits? It’s true! Tea, which is rich in polyphenols (molecules that have antioxidant properties), can help keep your skin hydrated, reverse the effects of UV damage, and reduce inflammation. Pretty amazing, right? While drinking tea may have a positive impact on your complexion, applying products infused with tea extracts can be beneficial, too. Cheers to that! Here, four teas with skin superpowers:

How to get beachy waves

Loose waves have always been a favorite, go-to hairstyle of mine, and I love wearing them in the summer, either to the beach or out with friends. This style looks even better on the second and third day, which is a nice bonus. (If roots get greasy, you may need to add a little dry shampoo after day one.) Here’s the how-to!

Everything about contouring

It’s official—contour has gone mainstream.  It used to be reserved for runway or editorial, where lighting required additional bone structure. But now, contouring has made its way into selfies everywhere and you can’t enter a makeup store without seeing a wide range of contour kits. Just take a look at the last few seasons of reality TV or look on YouTube and Instagram.

How to protect your kids from sun

If you're a parent, sun protection for your kids should be high on your priority list.Preventing sunburn with sunscreen and protective clothing are important when activities take you outdoors.

Home Remedies for red skin

Various conditions can lead to irritated, red skin. Causes can range from a temporary sensitivity to a chronic skin problem. Common culprits of red skin or red spots include:

Reading the label: metal in lips products

The California, Berkeley, School of Public Health evaluated more than 30 common brands of lipstick and lip gloss, and found that most of them contained high levels of metals — lead, cadmium, chromium, aluminum, and manganese — that could put women at risk for health issues including stomach tumors or nervous system problems. Kids who experiment with makeup could also be at risk.

Six reasons to sleep more if you want a baby skin

A good night's sleep can mean good skin health because when you’re sleep-deprived, your body makes more of the stress hormone cortisol. Elevated levels of cortisol can lead to increased stress and inflammation in the body, hurting your skin’s quality.

How to avoid ingrown hair

Hair normally grows out of a pore called a follicle. An ingrown hair occurs when the tip of the hair is caught in the follicle, but the hair continues to grow. This can cause inflammation, pain, irritation, and infection in some instances. A technical term you might hear your doctor use for one type of ingrown hair-related condition is pseudofolliculitis barbae, which affects some men in the beard area.

Simple and basic tips for healthy nails

Nails are living tissue, just like skin. In fact, they're composed primarily of the skin protein keratin. As your skin gets drier with age, your nails do, too. But that doesn't mean you have to resign yourself to a lifetime of ugly nails. You just need to treat them with more kindness and gentleness.

Get a skin that glows

As you age, your skin becomes thinner and can begin to look tired. Environmental damage also can take the glow out of your complexion and leave you with dull skin. If you find yourself yearning for the dewiness of younger skin, there are ways to help restore the glow to your complexion.

Worst diet mistakes for hair and nails

Just like your skin, your hair and nails are affected by the foods you choose to eat. And we're not talking about the sheen of those lustrous waves or a hangnail. Both hair and nails can become brittle and dry, and hair can thin or fall out without the right range of nutritious picks in your diet.

Tips for battling oily eyelids

Ever wonder why your eye makeup won’t stay in place? You apply and apply only to have it end up under your lids, creasing, or melting throughout the day. The culprit: you might have oily eyelids and not even know it. But there are extra steps you can implement into your daily beauty routine, and Too Faced’s Director of Global Education, Kate Watson, is here to tell us how to keep that eyeshadow in place!

7 Foods that are full of protein

1. Greek yoghurt

Thick, creamy Greek yoghurt contains twice (yep, double!) as much protein as regular yoghurt, which means it has the power to fill you up for so much longer. As well as serving up 10.3g protein per 100g, it's also low in fat and helps with everything from healthy digestion to strong bones. Try it sprinkled with berries, blended into a smoothie or to cool down spicy sauces in place of soured cream.
