I got this from Oprah. I just listed 10 bad habits I can relate to.
1. Don't put too much makeup on your forehead. Since our forehead moves in every facial expression, it will crinkle the foundation. "Dot foundation only on your cheeks, chin, and nose; then blend extra product up into your hairline." ~ Napoleon Perdis, a makeup artist.
2. Don't rub your hair with a towel. Instead, wrap hair in a towel, lightly press with your palms to help it absorb as much water as possible, and then use a wide-tooth comb to eliminate tangles, says trichologist Philip Kingsley.
3. Matching your brows to your hair color.
4. Don't Shave Your Legs After a Long Soak in the Tub. Shave within five to ten minutes after stepping into the shower, when the warm water has softened your skin and hair.
5. Don't Spritz Fragrance Directly on Your Hair. Let the alcohol evaporates first.
6. Don't Line Your Lips Before Applying Lipstick. "Apply your lipstick; then use a lip liner to trace around the edges," he said. "The liner will glide on more smoothly than it does on a bare mouth, leaving a more natural outline but still creating a barrier against bleeding." To avoid ring-around-the-mouth, use a pencil that matches your lipstick shade, nothing darker.
7. Don't Get Too Close to the Mirror When You Pluck Your Brows.
8. Don't Brush Your Hair When It's Wet. You should detangle hair right after you wash it, but use a wide-toothed comb.
9. File in one direction only. Crystal files are good, but never use a metal one (too hard).
10. Conditioner should be used strategically and sparingly. Apply a half-dollar-size amount to the midsection and ends of the hair, since these areas have been subjected to months of sun and styling damage. Don't treat your roots, because they're already coated with the scalp's natural oils; additional emollients will just weigh hair down, making it limp.
