Hey guys, I'm back and today I'll be talking about beauty tips, that every woman/man needs to know! 

Letswe'll talk about the eyes and how to make them POP!
:Apply a highlighter on your brow bone,
 Apply a very light color eyeliner on your lower waterline.
 Apply a champagne color in your inner corners.
 Conceal under your eyes, and on the crows feet.
 Apply some bronze eyeshadow in the crease and blend well, so they appeal bigger.

Now I'll tell you, how to clean your makeup brushes.
First

How to Do the Deep Clean
Step 1: Rinse bristles under warm water.
Step 2: Fill a bowl with water, adding a dollop of shampoo to the water. Now swirl the brush tips in the water.
Step 3: Swirl the brush in your palm, working up a lather. This friction will help get any hard-to-reach dirt.
Step 4: Rinse the brush tip under running water until all of the shampoo is cleaned off.
Step 5: Towel dry brushes with a cloth.
Step 6: Lay brushes on a cloth to dry. Don’t dry brushes standing upright, since this will cause moisture to seep into the glue that holds the bristles and can lead the hairs to fall out. Because brushes will take at least a few hours to dry, make sure you apply your makeup before cleaning.

Hey guys, 

I'll be sharing some tips about how to make your own DIY moisturizers, cleansers etc. 

These are the recipes I use, and I hope it works!

 Dry Skin:
 For dry skin I really recommend using natural recipes. Like maybe get a raw organic coconut oil, and just take the tinniest bit as it will make your face really oily, it will help a lot with the dryness. Also Brown sugar is very good for exfoliating the skin, as it is really rough. And finally making an avocado mask is very moisturizing and helps your skin a lot! I also recommend cucumber slices to go on your eyes, if you want to go all out, it's cool, and opens up your eyes!

 Hope you found this useful!:)

                                              History Of Makeup

The history of cosmetics first began approximately over 100,000 years ago.They were used by an African Tribe in the Middle Stone Age!Obviously they used crayons, berries, red ochre and stuff to paint their bodies and it did turn out pretty nice!

Makeup can do everything from hide pores, smooth complexions, and turn the pale green of your eyes a shiny green, makeup has been an important part of humankind for thousands of years. Over the centuries, women used burnt matches to darken their eyes and berries to stain their lips. Women throughout history put their health at risk with many of their homemade cosmetics. In some cultures, women used arsenic acid, lead, mercury, and even leeches to give themselves a pale appearance. Thankfully, we've come a long way from the days of using toxic and deadly mixtures to enhance our  looks.

Well I hope you found this a bit useful! See yaaa
