Nastassia “Tasha’s” tips! HAIR TIPS * My Top 5 Hair Oils or Serums: 1. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum 2. Chi Silk Infusion 3. Biosilk Silk Therapy 4. KMS Silksheen Therapy Plus 5. Redken Glass 01 Smoothing Serum * Pick the right brush for blowing drying your hair. - Use a large round brush for straightening long coarse or curly hair. - Use a medium round brush to add body and smoothness for medium or long hair. -A small round brush gives short hair lots of volume - Use a large paddle brush to smooth and straighten hair. - Use a medium paddle brush to add a little body to medium and long hair. -Use a small paddle brush to smooth out all types of hair. * Summer is coming. Start adding highlights to your hair or start lightening it slowly. * If you have curly hair make sure your hair is fully moisturized. Use a good conditioner and a leave-in conditioner. A spray leave-in conditioner is the best for all types of hair. NAIL TIPS * It’s sandal time, which means it’s pedicure time! Get one now before you make your way to the beach. * If you want glitz and glam on your nails but don't want something extreme, get a French manicure. You can't go wrong with that. MAKE-UP TIPS * Lining your lips is important for creating plump, noticeable lips. * Cheek color should be used to enhance your complexion, not to change your natural skin tone. * Concealer is more dense then foundation and allows fuller coverage on your trouble spots and on hyper pigmentation (red areas). It can be used over foundation. It has a greater staying power than foundation and can be used on its own. Remember, a little goes a long way. * Prepare your skin with a light SPF moisturizer before applying concealer for a smoother application. SKIN CARE TIPS * If you have oily skin, don't use a liquid soak. It only makes it worse for you. * Treat yourself to a at home facial two or three times a week. Use a mild cleanser, and then exfoliate with a gentle scrub that contains defoliants that are round and non-abrasive. Next, apply a facial mask after exfoliating. Rinse off thoroughly and get a goodnight sleep. * Keep your skin free of build-up by using a gentle cleanser in the morning and at night. * While washing your face, use upward motion strokes, so that your skin tightens. |
