What's the best beauty tip you have that works?

[LadyOfTheCanyon]

Just a general question really. I want to know if I'm missing out on any untapped Gold Standard beauty techniques!

The best tip I have currently is to run a little translucent powder through your brows if they look a bit fierce. Settles them right down. Also "Eyebrows are sisters, not twins."

My favourite tip was to get a cheap concealer thats a couple of shades too lighy, put it under eyes, blend then do foundation and a tiny bit of normal concealer of top to banish dark circles.

Do. Not. Pick. Your. Skin.

ThE hardest, but the most effective.

I have several:
Always wear sunscreen when outside all the time in all climates
Always take your makeup off every time you wear it.
Smile - you will always look better
And like Pardrej - don't pick at skin, especially on your face

Of wearing false lashes, put the glue on your eyelid instead! Don't faff with it on the lash itself trying to line it up right.

Drink lots of water

Double cleanse every evening and don't just take makeup off with wipes

Cleanse and moisturise.
And you look silly beyond imagination if you do the contouring-glow-caterpillar-brow pout beloved of Mrs Glossers.

Get your brows threaded! It makes a real difference to your face, in a way you just can't put your finger on. Where I go it costs £4 and takes less than 5 minutes, I just ask for a tidy up.

Great idea for a thread, OP.

Mine's from Karl Lagerfeld... 'Sunglasses are like eyeshadow: they make everything look younger and prettier.'

Drink loads of water.

Johnson's baby lotion as an all-in one make up remover and moisturiser.

Give up alcohol!

Chin raised when being photographed to give you a jawline and lessen dark shadows....looking every-so-slightly away from the camera

Always use a tissue to blot foundation/Tinted Moisturiser (whatever you use) half an hour after application to take that "I've put my face on" look. It helps to merge skin with product.

Loving these tips... keep 'em coming...!

good sleep
drink plenty of water
cleanse and moisturise
eat well, for glowy skin eat plenty of orange and red veg such as carrots, peppers, butternut squash etc
sun screen is a must
I must stop picking my face, it is so hard not too, but it does ruin your skin

A pint of warm water and a morning mile (walking) always make me look and feel so much better. It gives me colour in my cheeks, and makes me look awake and alive, which I definitely do not when I get out of bed!

Tiny blister plasters drain the yuk out of spots overnight. More satisfying even than picking - and no skin damage.

Coconut oil is a great overnight treatment for dry hair!

Love the eyebrows are sisters. I'm going to use that phrase if I ever get them shaped again.

Liquid eyeliner is much easier to apply if you do a line with pencil first.

If you need lots of concealer for dark circles under your eyes, use powder in between each layer.

Sail Hughes, who writes a beauty column in the Guardian is my guru - don't think I'd know anything about makeup if it wasn't for her!

Rub whatever moisturiser/serum you have left on your hands onto the backs of your hands.
Only cleanse skin at night, just splash with lukewarm water in the morning.
Drink plenty of water. Dull but effective.

Give up alcohol, you will notice a huge difference in your skin and eyes.

Avoid magnifying mirrors then fading eyesight will eventually ensure everything looks alright . True.

Fake lashes.

These are great- love a good tip!

Flappy but what if you blink? Don't you get glue all over your eyelids?

My top tip is luminizer smeared on the cheekbones after moisturiser. Or even easier, mixed in with moisturiser. Don't have a glow? Who cares, you can just fake it! The L'oreal Lumi one makes me look 10 times less haggard.

Drink lots of water, wear sun screen, exfoliate before you go to sleep (& moisturise), change your pillow case fortnightly, understand your skin and the ingredients you need, doesn't matter how pretty the packaging is- always read whats in it! Invest in good skincare
