My favorite beauty secret is to use a variety of cosmetic brushes to make my cosmetics more versatile.  A dark brown eye shadow makes the perfect eyeliner and eyebrow liner when applied with a narrower brush than you use when using the shadow as a regular eye shadow.  A small clean lipstick brush dipped in concealer can be used to line the outside edge of lips and prevent lipstick from bleeding.  Powder bronzer may be one of the most versatile cosmetics out there.  With a large fluffy brush you can highlight shins, shoulders or any other part of the body that would naturally catch the light.  Certain shades of bronzer can be used as blush when applied with a meduim sized blush brush.  To make your lips practically glow, apply a small dot of bronzer to the middle of your lower lip with a small dry cosmetic brush after applying lip gloss.

I never leave home without my Burt’s Bees lip balm, especially in this winter-y weather.  It’s pretty cheap and it works great, plus since there is no flavor or tint, the boyfriend doesn’t mind kissing me when I’m wearing it (which is all the time!). I usually wear it on it’s own, but it also works as a fabulous base for lipstick or tinted gloss.

My Beauty Secret is Simply hydration.Water keeps us healthy…our skin vibrant…and our energy up.There is nothing more important then keeping your body hydrated and well rested because not only would you be in a better mood but everyone else around you would notice =).

My beauty secret is using baby wipes to remove makeup instead of those expensive makeup remover pads. If it’s safe enough to wipe a baby’s butt, the I think it’s gentle enough to remove mascara.
