Fashion Tips

Medications: Creams containing retinoids, such as retinol, can help the body make more collagen, preventing wrinkles. Chemical peel: a chemical peel can diminish many signs of aging on the face as well as the hands, neck, and chest.

Apply a layer of antibacterial/Vaseline ointment twice a day on the fresh tattoo, but don’t put on another bandage. Gently wash your tattoo twice daily with soap and water and gently pat dry before reapplying the antibacterial/Vaseline ointment. Keep applying a moisturizer or ointment after you clean to keep it moist.

Nail tips are pre-cut pieces of plastic that nails technicians use to create false nails. They are normally either clear or white in color. Unfortunately, tips are not a one-and-done deal. Regardless of which type of manicure medium you pick, your natural nail will begin to grow out eventually. Also, if you're rough on your hands, you run the risk of breaking a nail.

Try a smudged eyeliner look if you want to lengthen your upper lid or opt for a little nude liner along your lash line and inner corners to give the appearance of big, bright eyes.

Natural hues never fail: warm tones for dark eyes, cool tones for light eyes. There is no need to do the whole contour deal. But know that a pale, shimmery shadow on lids can add sparkle to tired eyes; a medium shade in the crease and just above it can erase any fleshy overhang and make eyes appear larger; and the darkest browns and charcoals work as a smoky top coat for your gel eyeliner to soften the look or hide squiggles.

More pigmented than typical kohl pencils, less messy than brush-on gels, and more flattering than harsh liquids or markers, these waterproof liners recreate firmer, more defined eyes. Look in the mirror, raise your chin and sketch along the base of the upper lid in small back-and-forth movements.
