   – Drink lots of water. It’s been said SO many times, I know, but it really does help.

   – Lip-balm (or even Vaseline when I’m broke!) is my number one beauty product. Seriously.

   – Try and buy good quality make-up and hair-care products.

   – On hair-care – don’t straighten, curl with heated curlers, or blow-dry on a high setting, at least not unless it’s a special occasion!

   – For smooth lips – smother them in olive oil, then take a really soft toothbrush (like one used for babies to keep their gums healthy, before they start popping out teeth), smother /that/ in olive oil, and very gently rub your lips with them. Then put on lots of lip-balm. It gets rid of those little skin flakes, and it makes them redder and a little fuller.

   – Use a really good hair-brush, or a wide-toothed comb.

   – If you have hair longer than shoulder-length, or even chin-length if it tangles easily, it’s easiest to brush from the bottom up. What you do:
   *take the last few inches of hair and comb them through
   *then go up a few inches and comb from there down
   *then go up another few inches and comb from /there/ down
   *keep going until your hair’s all brushed.
   It takes a little longer, but if you have a knot at the bottom and a knot at the top, and you keep brushing downwards, what happens? A really huge, nasty tangle that takes even longer to brush out!

   – To look a million dollars, all you need is:
   *a little concealer if you have pimples or dark shadows
   *a small amount of foundation if your skin is less-than-perfect
   *a bit of blush, the natural colour of your skin when you’ve just done a little exercise (the idea here is to look prettily flushed, not just-sprinted-for-5-kilometres beetroot)
   *a bit of lip-gloss, lip-balm or – if you want to draw attention to your lips – lip-stick (but make sure it’s a similar colour to your lips!)
   *a dusting of eye-shadow that draws attention to your eyes, if you want them drawn attention to (handy hints: gold or peach shades bring out blue eyes; purple or pink for green eyes; purples and greens for brown eyes) but if you don’t want them too obvious, a “nude” shimmer with a dusting of brown by the eyeline looks good on everyone
   *a bit of mascara – brown for day/brown-black for night if you have blonde or red hair, brown-black for day/black for night if you have brown hair, black for day/blue-black for night if you have black hair

   – Remember, the idea of make-up is to flatter your good points and downplay your bad, it isn’t to make you look like a whole new person!

   – Love your body, even if it isn’t perfect.
