....................................................................Beauty Tips for your LIPS .........................................

Get a Natural Shine
Wear CityLips alone to create a natural enhancement of your lip color. CityLips increases circulation and enhances your lip color and plumps almost instantly after application.

Add Some Shine
Layer CityLips on top of your favorite lipstick or lip liner for added shine and moisture. CityLips works great as a gloss and a treatment.

Make Lips Appear Larger
Apply a dab of a light colored shimmering eye shadow (pink, gold, white, etc.) on the middle of your lower lip on top of your CityLips to make them look even fuller.

Extend Lipstick and Gloss Wear
Always line your lips with a lip–liner to prevent your lipstick and gloss from bleeding. Choose a color that is the same or close to the shade wearing. Line around your natural lip, for deepened color you can fill in your entire lip area.

Beauty Tips for your EYES ..................................................

Brighten Tired Eyes
Line the outer two thirds of your lash line on the top and the bottom with a bright color then put a dab of a bright shimmer eye shadow in the corner of each eye.

Make Eyes Look Larger
For small eyes, apply a thin line of eyeliner as closely to the lashes as possible, only on the top lid. Avoid heavy liner because the thicker the line, the smaller the eyes will appear.

Use an Eyelash Curler
Eyelash curlers do wonders on skimpy lashes; curled lashes make eyes appear larger and sexier. Curl before apply mascara to avoid clumping.

Prevent the Eye–Liner Disappearing Act
Use a waterproof eye-liner or brush a shadow over the top of your liner to help seal the liner and prevent running and smudging.

Conceal Dark Circles
To help counteract the blue hues of dark circles, mix your concealer with a yellow corrector on the back of your hand with a concealer brush or fingertip, then apply where needed.

Lose the Bags
To help deflate under–eye bags, use eye cream containing caffeine—this increases circulation, flushing out excess retained water. Remember to stay hydrated, this will help ward off water retention that may increase the size of under-eye bags

Keep Eyebrows Tamed
Nicely plucked and shaped eyebrows do wonders. They open up your eyes and frame your face. Have your brows done professionally to see what looks best for your face shape and to get an idea how to do it your self for upkeep.

Beauty Tips for your FACE

Never Go to Bed Wearing Makeup
A sure way to get a big, nasty pimple is to go to bed wearing makeup. Use an eye–makeup remover to remove mascara and liner, then wash with a cleanser that removes makeup as well as dirt and oil. Follow with a moisturizer and the appropriate treatments.

Wash away Wrinkles
Gently scrub with a cleanser that contains less than 2% salicylic acid. You will lose the lines with out irritating your skin. Salicylic acid also helps kill the bacteria that cause pimples.

Avoid the Oil Slick
To help control oil, start with clean face, use an oil–controlling lotion and stay away from cream shadows or cream blush. Use an oil-controlling foundation followed by a dusting of loose powder. Use oil–blotting papers or pressed face powder to control shine through out the day.

Exfoliate Dead Skin
Use an exfoliator (a.k.a. face scrub) at least once a week, more often for an oily skin, to remove dead skin and create a polished look. Dry, dead skin doesn't allow for moisture to penetrate as well and makes skin look ashy and dry.

Wear Sunscreen Daily
The best formulas for the face are gel–based, oil–free, and lightweight formulas. Look for a moisturizer and a foundation that include sunscreen. NOTE: if you are going to be in the sun all day, a higher SPF like 30 or 45 is needed to protect your face from the damaging UVA and UVB rays.

Beauty Tips for your BODY

Get Rid of Acne
To prevent acne on the chest and back, use a body wash with Salicylic Acid and follow with a body spray that also includes Salicylic Acid (Clinique and Neutrogena both have one). This will help kill the bacteria that cause blemishes.

Remove Self-Tanner
To de-streak and remove self-tanner, try St. Trope Self-Tan remover. Great for the palms, or wherever you need it. (Sttropeztan.com)

Layer Your Fragrance
You can extend the life of your perfume by layering your fragrance. Use a shower gel, a scented lotion and a perfume that are all the same scent. This will help give your perfume holding power and a longer lasting true scent.

Beauty Tips for your HANDS & FEET

Get a New Shade of Polish
Update an old hue by layering the colors. Start with an opaque one, let it dry completely, and then follow with an iridescent or sparkly polish on top of the opaque.

Extend Polish Wear
Never push back dry cuticle on your hands. Doing so can crack polish at the base and may cause a dreaded hangnail. Always apply a base coat before applying polish and seal it with a topcoat.

Get Rid of Calluses on Feet
Use a pumice stone everyday on the rough parts of your feet. Make it a habit to scrub your feet after you shave your legs. Don't scrub too hard, you need a little protection for killer heels and hot concrete.
