EYES
Ouch!!
Plucking your eyebrows in pain, try icing your brows 10 seconds prior to plucking to numb the skin.
Glasses?
When deciding what kind of eye look to do, consider your frames. Thick frames, go for a natural look. Thin frames, go for drama, drama!
Close-set eyes
Close-set eyes are usually narrower than one eye-width. Widen the appearance by making them lighter on the inner corner. Further enhance it by extending the outercorners by using darker colors on the outer third of the eye.
Deep-set eyes
Deep-set eyes have sockets that are set back. Natural shadow below the eyes call for lightening with concealer or highlighter. Opt for a light shadow on the lid, with a deeper color above it.
Wide-set eyes
When the space between the inner corners is wider than the width of one eye, you're said to have wide-set eyes. Use darker shadows in the inner corners to make the eyes appear closer together.
Round eyes
Apply a light-colored eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eye, fading it into a medium color. Use a dark color on the outer corners, extending it beyond the outer corners.
Asian eyes
To increase the depth of the eyes, use darker eyeshadow in and above the crease. Apply eyeliner as close to the lashline as possible.
Almond eyes
These eyes are said to have the perfect proportions so don't hold back! Go experiment!
Hooded eyelids?
Just because your eyelid is hidden doesn't mean that you should avoid eyeshadows! With your eye open, make a mark on the upper eye above the area that your eyelids hide. Then, take some eyeshadow to to this point so it is seen when your eyes are open. Then soften it and apply a lighter color on the inner corner to open the eye.
Curled to the Max!
To maximize your lashes potential, first squeeze the lashes at the root with an eyelash curler, then release and squeeze two or three times more along the length of the lashes, working toward the tips. As you move away from the root, gradually turn your wrist so the curler is rotating away from the face. Want more length? Place the curler under a hairdryer for 10 seconds.
Intensity!
Make eyes look more intense by double lining. Use a dark shadow with a dry eyeliner brush, then repeat with a liquid liner or wet brush using a slightly thinner line.
Removing Mascara
Nothing beats premoistened makeup remover cloths or pads. These cloths have oiler ingredients that better break down mascara's wazes, including waterproof brands, with no scrubbing! Remove mascara gently by closing your upper lids and swiping the cloth or pad in a smooth, light, downward stroke.
Add a bit of sparkle!
Going on a date or having your photo taken? Try adding a shimmery eye shadow in the same shade as your brows. This soft gleam will make your eyes sparkle!
Not sure about metallics?
An easy way to start using metallic makeup is to apply a spot of silver on the center of your upper lid. Or try a speck of gold on the inside corners of your eyes to make them look bright and sparkling. This will make your eyes appear bigger!
Thin Eyelashes?
Use an eyeliner to fill in any gaps between the lashes and lightly dush them with powder in between coats of mascara to add volume. Try e.l.f.'s brightening eye liner.
Tableworks
You can flatten out your eyeliner pencil and create an edge that allows you to go right up against the lid. I usually drop the pencil straight on the table. It's easier than using an eyeliner with a point, since it allows for a better angle on the pencil.
Bye bye clumps!
To avoid clumpy lashes, lay the lascara brush at the abse of the lashes, jiggle the brush from side to side, and then whisk it up through the rest of the lashes. This loads the mascara at the base of the lashes. It doesn't leave you with clumpy ends, but thick and luscious lashes!
Falsey removal!
Use an oil-based remover to remove false eyelashes. Never pull the eyelashes off without using a remover; otherwise you can risk pulling and stretching your delicate eyelid skin. Treat your eyes with care!
Before powders…
Loose and pressed powders need something to grab onto, so apply a cream eyeshadow or eye primer underneath.
No pumps!
Don't pump the brush in and out of the tube, the trapped air wil dry the mascara out.
Day-to-Night without Raccoon Eyes
For no smudging skip the mascara on bottom lashes for day. Then when its time to get ready for a night out, swipe your mascara and eyeliner on. It'll look fresh and there'll be no need for fixing your under-eyes come night!
Prevent Eyeshadow Breakdown
When applying eyeshadow use applicators or brushes instead of fingertips. The natural oils in your skin can cause the eyeshadow to break down faster.
Make your Mascara Last All Day
Apply one coat regular mascara, then apply one coat of waterproof mascara. E.l.f. earth and water mascara duo has both! The waterproof ensures minimal smudging and staying power while the coat of regular makes the mascara come off with great ease!
Tired Eyes?
To fake awake and wide eyes after a long night apply a light eyeshadow in bright tones such as whites or golds to the inside corner of the eyes (e.l.f. eye shadow in ivory). Blend a bit up to the brow and down under the eye.
Intense Eyes
This tip comes from trina_blue, following askelf on Twitter:

No Smudges
This tip comes from caruso_deb, following us at askelf on Twitter:
Put e.l.f. mineral booster under your eyes with a small brush and your mascara and eyeliner won't smudge or give you raccoon eyes!
Eye Widener Pencil
The Eye Widener pencil works for so many uses other uses than just the eyes- blend it over your upper lip to enhance the 'bow', blend it under eyebrows to enhance the arch, if your inner eye socket looks dark and you don't have your concealer, smudge a little there for an instant brightening effect, and don't forget, if you have 'marionnette' lines on the sides of your mouth, it will lighten them up too.
Dark Circles
Take 2 teabags that you have already used put them in the freezer until they are cold (30 mins) then put them on your eyes use this tip daily and watch your dark circles fade away bring these teabags to use instead of wasting them. (I recommend Mariage Freres teas)
Has your beautician messed up your eyebrows?
Brush the brows straight up with an eyebrow comb.
. With the eyebrow pencil, draw short, feathery strokes on the hairs around the sparse areas.
. Use an eye-shadow, which matches your brows to make the desired shape.
. Press some powder lightly onto the area. Then brush them back to their natural shape.
Dark Circles?
If you have dark circles under your eyes, don't apply eyeliner until dark circles are covered with concealer. Or else your eyes will become too dark!
From thick to thin!
Eyeliner should be applied close to base of eyelashes to make them look thicker. Start with a thicker line on the outer edge of your lid with elbow on table for stability, draw the line towards inner corner of your eye, thinning the line as you go.
Small Eyes
Don’t use too much shadow or liner – it will make your eyes look smaller. Apply a light color onto your eyelids, use a darker color in the crease and use a highlighter under the brow.
Large Eyes
Wear a darker shadow on the lid and extend it to the crease. Use a flat color under the brow to highlight.
Deep Set Eyes
Use light colors on the eyelid and under the brow. Use a medium color in the crease. Emphasize the outer corners with shadow.
Hooded Eyes
Apply light colors onto your lids. Use darker colors from the center of the eyelid to the outer corners and blend.
Round Eyes
Make round eyes longer by using color all around and extending toward the outer corners.
SMOKEY EYE!
For natural Smokey looking eyes, smudge in your eyeliner by creating tiny circular motions near the lashes to blend in the color!
Get rid of those dark circles!!!
Here's 6 ways to help eliminate dark circles: 1. Get enough sleep. Try to go to bed a little earlier than you normally would.
2. Cucumber slices have a soothing effect on the eyes.
3. Use sunscreen every day and moisturize in the night preferably using a good under eye cream.
4. Drink plenty of water to hydrate the skin.
5. Apply cold compresses.
6. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Iron deficiency can be a cause for dark circles around the eyes.
Droopy eyes got you down?
Line the top eyelid with eyeliner at the outer corner or the lash line and draw the line upwards. To make it look softer, apply eye shadow on top of the line, or you can smudge it in with your finger!
Keep getting clumps on your lashes??
Try wiping off excess mascara from your mascara wand with a tissue before use to prevent clumps on your lashes!
Want younger looking eyes?
Apply a little eye cream on the brow bone and under the eyes. Then dab on a concealer that matches your skin tone. The last thing to do is line your eyes with a pencil just below the lash line. This will give the impression of larger and brighter eyes!
Thinning brows?
Have your hair stylist dye them for you. For an at home treatment you can use eye shadow to fill them in!
Use powder!
When filling in your brows try using powder! Although brow pencils may last longer, powder creates a more natural look! Set color in with a clear brow gel.
Shades of yellow!
Using shades of yellow on your eyelids will make the white in you eye pop!
Light Lashes?
Try using brown mascara instead of black. Black can be too much of a contrast if your lashes and brows are too light!
Spare your lashes!
Never use your eyelash curler after applying your mascara! Always use it before or you may pull out your eyelashes!!
Bushy stray brows?
Spray a bit of hairspray on an old toothbrush or use a clear brow gel and brush over brows to shape.
Raccoon eyes?
Did you sleep with your mascara on, and there's no eye makeup remover in sight? No worries, grab some kitchen standards to save the day! Use a little vegetable oil or butter on a cotton pad or tissue. Gently pat around your eyes. Not only will it remove the makeup , but it moisturizes too!!
Painful tweeze?
Rub a little anbesol on a brow before your next tweeze to numb the area.
Want lasting eye liner??
Seal it with vision! Add a few drops to your forehand and mix with your eye shadow. Apply with an eyeliner brush to the lash line on top of the liner for all day wear.
Puffy eyes?
Run teaspoons under cold water, and place on eyes for a few seconds. Close the eyes, then using the rounded edge massage gently by rolling back and forth over the eye area.
Out of eyeliner?
Use your mascara and apply with an eyeliner brush, looks just like liquid eyeliner it will last all day!
Out of eye shadow?
No need to fret, brush on some bronzer or blush for a soft glow of color on the eyes!
Fading eye shadow?
Use shielding hydro-tint as a base on your eyes to keep your eye shadow lasting and fresh!
Creasing eye shadow?
Avoid wearing eye moisturizer with shimmer eye shadows, it breaks up the consistency of the shadow and causes creasing.
Want to minimize "crows feet"?
Wearing sunglasses can help protect your eyes from harmful sun rays, but also can prevent pre-mature aging due to squinting, not to mention sunglasses are the perfect fashion accessory!
Freeze! Puffy, droopy and under eye circles got you down?
Grab a Gel Mask! Pop in the freezer for a few minutes to chill, strap on and watch those dreary eyes awaken! ( a few minutes a day wearing a chilled gel eye mask has been shown to reduce the signs of aging.)
Want the perfect lash?
To get that perfect lash, heat your eyelash curler with a blow-dryer for a few seconds ( make sure it is not too hot before curling ). Heat will lock in the lengthy curl.
Day-to-night without raccoon eyes
For no smudging skip the mascara on bottom lashes for day. Then when its time to get ready for a night out, swipe your mascara and eyeliner on. It'll look fresh and there'll be no need for fixing your under-eyes come night!
Prevent eyeshadow breakdown
When applying eyeshadow use applicators or brushes instead of fingertips. The natural oils in your skin can cause the eyeshadow to break down faster.
Make your mascara last all day!
Apply one coat regular mascara, then apply one coat of waterproof mascara. e.l.f. earth and water mascara duo has both! The waterproof ensures minimal smudging and staying power while the coat of regular makes the mascara come off with great ease!
Tired Eyes
To fake awake and wide eyes after a long night apply a light eyeshadow in bright tones such as whites or golds to the inside corner of the eyes (e.l.f. eye shadow in ivory). Blend a bit up to the brow and down under the eye.
Intense eyes
To step up your eyeshadow, wet the applicator or brush before putting it in the eyeshadow, then apply to eyes. It creates a much more dramatic look that won't crease. @trina_blue
No Smudges
Swipe on e.l.f. mineral booster under eyes with a small brush. It keeps eyeliner from smudging as well! @caruso_deb
New Eyeliner
Before using a new eyeliner for the first time, soften the tip with your finger or a kleenex. The super sharp point is no good for the sensitive eye area, and softening the tip makes it much easier to glide on.
Sunscreen and your eyes
Don't forget the SPF for your lids! The skin around the eye is much more fragile than other skin on the body making it more susceptible to sundamage and wrinkling. Besides, burnt eyelids are the worst!
Clumpless Lashes Every Time
Be sure to always use an eyelash curler before applying mascara. A really good one can curl so much that you might not even need mascara. Then apply mascara sparingly. The more coats you apply the greater your odds are for clumping. Formula is important as well: volumizing extends lashes horizontally and is much more likely to clump, while lengthening extends lashes up and away from eachother. Using one coat of each creates great clumpless drama!
Fast Framed Eyes
To give your eye definition and mystery, brush brows up to accentuate the arch. Set it with a toothbrush, or eyebrow comb sprayed with hair spray. Finishing off by adding a bit of white eyeshadow under the brow.
Add Some Mystery To Your Eyes
The smoky eye is the perfect look for a night of going out. Use one of e.l.f.'s black pencils or liquid liners, and line both above and below the eye. Soften the look and also secure it by running over the lines with a lighter shadow.
Quit Blinking!
For some it’s a natural habit that we try to avoid. However, it actually helps to keep your mouth open when applying your eye makeup. It keeps you from blinking, making the application much easier.
The Secret To White Eyeliner
White eyeliners are essential to create a wide-eyed look. Use it along the lash line, and softly smudge it with a sponge applicator. Try e.l.f.’s white eye widener pencil , it's perfect for this.
Bye Bye Under Eye-Bags
Apply a concealer at least a half shade lighter than your skin tone. Use it after applying your foundation. Mix a bit of blue eye shadow with moisturizer. Follow with foundation.
Make The Whites Of Your Eyes Look Brighter
To make the whites of your eyes look brighter, use a light blue pencil under the eyes. Blue eye shadow lightly applied under the eyes works just as well.
The Ways Of Bronzer
Bronzer works very well for creating a monochromatic look. Use it to shadow eyes, as a finishing powder for lips, to soften eyebrows, and as a finishing powder to set makeup. Try E.l.f.'s four color bronzers for this look.
Do Curl Those Lashes!
When using an eye lash curler, always give lashes a ten-second squeeze before applying your mascara. Also, tilt the curlers up as you press to get the best curve.
Always Remember to Wiggle When Applying Mascara!
For maximum volume, make sure you get the mascara brush right in to the base of your eye lashes and see-saw it through.
Lost Your Eyeliner? Problem Solved!
Wear mascara as eyeliner. Dip an old lip brush in to your mascara tube, then trace a thin line along your lash lines to make eyes pop.
Light a Match For Instant Eye-Makeup
Light a match, blow out the flame, then wait until its cooled. Rub an eye makeup brush across the tip, and smudge the soot around your eyes as liner. Avoid the inside of your lids! Don't stress if the line isn't perfect; it's supposed to look a little smudgy and sexy.
Make Your Eyes Pop!
Line inside your upper and lower lids with a dark purple eyeliner. Gently pull your lid away from your eye as you apply the pencil. This effect won't make your eyes look like they're lined, just naturally defined.
Be Edgier!
Use an eyeliner pencil, preferably black, and create some major drama! Draw a thick line along top and bottom lashlines winging it past the outer corners. To get the right shape, extend the line diagonally up toward the edge of your brow, thinning it in to a small point.
How to Look Less Tired
Dust a strip of gold eye shadow on to the center of your eyelids from lash lines to creases. Use one with a hint of shimmer- to make it more appropriate for daytime of course.
Make the Smoky Eye Look Easy to Do
A smoky eye look can sometimes be hard to achieve, especially if you don't have a steady hand. Instead, dab a tiny bit of foundation on to your eye lids to create a base, then apply a soft gray pencil on top and smudge gently. This makes it easier to blend and get that silky finish.
Give Wild Colors a Spin
Brighten up your lids with bright colors! Apply eye shadow with a damp brush, this will make the color pop even more. However, if you want to make bright shades look sane, try to apply as little makeup to the rest of your face as you can, or leave the rest of your face neutral.
Looking Tired?
Lift your droopy lids by angling your eyeliner up and out at the outer corner.
Long Night Ahead?
After perfecting your eye makeup for the night ahead of you, prevent it from running later. Dab a bit of white shadow on a brush right underneath your eyes.
The Start and End
Line a pencil or brush end straight up against the side of your nose to see where your eyebrows should start. The swivel it around about 45degrees towards temples to see where brows should end.
Emphasize Eyes!
Use a liner to line under, over, and in between your eye lashes. Then smudge the upper line in on to the lid. Afterwards, apply a light, shimmery shadow all over your eye lids, and follow with a colored mascara. This is guaranteed to light up your eyes!
Learn to Use Liquid Liner
Liquid eyeliner can always be a little tricky at first to use. You want to start by pulling your eyelid taut and start the line at the eye's inner corner, just above the upper lashes. Stroke the line evenly to the outer edge. Once you let the lid go, there should be a perfectly straight, thin line. You're ready to go!
It's Time To Re-define Your Eyes
Give your eyes the great definition they deserve. Define the bone structure in the eye area using bronzer. Brush on bronzer from the inner corner of your eye towards bridge of nose.
Liner Perfection
Don’t try to draw a straight line of liner all at once, especially if you have an unsteady hand. Instead, with a sharpened pencil, make a series of small dots along the lash line, then connect and smudge dots together to create a perfect soft line.
Make Any Mascara Better
Bend the tip of your mascara wand until it's angled to resemble a dentist's mirror. The wand will be easier to control, and the brush will give better coverage.
Double Duty Translucent Powder
Although translucent powder is supposed to help set makeup and take away any unnecessary shine, it can help in other ways. It can be used to lighten brows and to seal lipstick.
Get The Look: Dramatic Eyes
Strong, sexy eyes look amazing when paired with a nude lip. Pile on layers of smoky smudge eye shadow in corresponding dark colors. Leave the rest of your face as natural as possible, including your lips to really make your eyes pop.
Wake Up Those Tired Eyes!
An effective way to wake up your eyes is to run a metal spoon under cold water. Hold the spoon over your eye for about 30 seconds. The coolness of the metal does just the trick to wake up your eyes, and make them feel rejuvenated.

Go Neon!
Add that pop of color to your face with neon shades of eyeliner. Starting at your inner corners, create a thin line on the lower lashline with a turquoise liquid liner, winging out at outer corners.

False Lashes
Applying false lashes is pretty simple. If you want mascara on your real lashes, put it on first. Then pick up the last strip (or single lash) with tweezers. Dot a tiny amount of glue along the edge. Lay them in as close to the lash line as you can. Check out our false eyelashes!
Hesitant about using powder shadows?
Start with cream formulas! They apply smooth and the sheer textures make the colors appear softer. Try our Studio Cream Eyeshadows!

Tap a brown cream shadow along your upper lash line.
Eyeliner Too Harsh?

Has your beautician messed up your eyebrows?
Brush the brows straight up with an eyebrow comb. . With the eyebrow pencil, draw short, feathery strokes on the hairs around the sparse areas. Use an eye-shadow, which matches your brows to make the desired shape. Press some powder lightly onto the area. Then brush them back to their natural shape.
Dark Circles?
If you have dark circles under your eyes, don't apply eyeliner until dark circles are covered with concealer. Or else your eyes will become too dark!
From thick to thin!
Eyeliner should be applied close to base of eyelashes to make them look thicker. Start with a thicker line on the outer edge of your lid with elbow on table for stability, draw the line towards inner corner of your eye, thinning the line as you go.
Small Eyes
Don’t use too much shadow or liner – it will make your eyes look smaller. Apply a light color onto your eyelids, use a darker color in the crease and use a highlighter under the brow.

Get rid of those dark circles!!!
Here's 6 ways to help eliminate dark circles: 1. Get enough sleep. Try to go to bed a little earlier than you normally would. 2. Cucumber slices have a soothing effect on the eyes. 3. Use sunscreen every day and moisturize in the night preferably using a good under eye cream. 4. Drink plenty of water to hydrate the skin. 5. Apply cold compresses. 6. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Iron deficiency can be a cause for dark circles around the eyes.

Eyelashes culer
An eyelashes curler should always be cleaned and disinfected before use because any dirt may easily enter the eye and cause irritation.
Be Edgier!
Use an eyeliner pencil, preferably black, and create some major drama! Draw a thick line along top and bottom lashlines winging it past the outer corners. To get the right shape, extend the line diagonally up toward the edge of your brow, thinning it in to a small point.
FACE
Soap … oh no!
Step away from the normal soap you would use to wash your body. You shouldn't use this kind of soap on your face. They dry out the skin, getting rid of the natural oils. Because the skin on your face is thin and easily irritated, it needs a more gentle cleanser.
Foundation Perfection!
When your foundation is applied correctly, it should look like you aren't wearing any at all! First, test the color of the foundation on your jawline. It should disappear into the skin and blend well between the face and neck. Then, apply the foundation to the face, starting in the center and blending it over the nose working outwards. You can apply this with a foundation brush or your fingers. Finally, brush the whole face with some translucent powder to keep it set.
Concealer Tip
Always apply your foundation before concealer. This will allow you to see what cover is provided by your foundation and how much more cover is needed from your concealer. Try e.l.f.'s tone correcting concealer!
True Effects
To see the true effect of your foundation, let it settle for a few minutes on your face. Then blend of layer in more foundation in spots where it is needed.
Veins, Scars, and Blemishes… oh my!
A creamy stick or pot concealer works great to keep your complexion looking flawless! It should be a little thicker than your regular foundation or it will slide off. If you're hiding acne, look for a concealer with a pimple fighting salicylic acid.
Secret Concealer Find!
If you don't want to spend the money on a separate spot concealer, dip your concealer brush into the leftover foundation that is a bit dried up in the cap. It is thicker than what is in the bottle and you can layer it on the spots.
Find Your Cheekbones!
The top of your cheeckbones are a key place to apply highlighter because it draws the eyes upward, highlights your bone structure and gives the face more radiance. To find them, place two fingers side by side under the outer corner of your eye and bingo... you found it!
Blush Emergency!
Blush overload? If you used a cream blush, take a makeup sponge and place a drop of foundation on it and with tiny upward strokes, buff over your blush to soften the color. If you used powder blush, do the same with a dry sponge.
2-for-1 Blush
Turn a cream blush into a two-in-one. Blend it onto the apples of your cheeks then dab the same color onto your lips for a quick natural look.
Hate Foundation?
Some women feel that even a sheer foundation feels like a mask covering up their skin. If you want your skin to show through, skip foundation all together and try a tinted moisturizer. It's the best choice for natural coverage that evens out skin tone and will give a healthy glow to your complexion.
Burning Scalp
If your beautician is using bleach and it burns your scalp (or usually does), ask them to put one packet of the pink stuff (Sweet n Low) in the mixture. No more burning and it does not affect the coloring!

To smooth chapping, rub on balm before you get into the shower. Immediately after, gently buff lips with a few pinches of sugar and a wet terry cloth. Simple!
No Time?
The quickest way to add color to the lips is to use a tinted lip balm. This is a fast and natural way to add color, moisture and protection in one easy swipe!
The Perfect Red for You!
All women can wear red lipstick! When choosing the right shade, fair complexions are flattered by cool reds (like a cherry or red rose). Redheads look great wearking warm reds (like a tomato or brick) Medium or olive skin look great with classic reds like an apple and dark skin looks good with deep reds.
In Between the Lines
Use lipliner all over the lips, not just as an outline. This will give a better finish and will hold your lipstick for longer. If lipstick does wear off, you will still have an all-over color rather than just an outline.
Need to remove stains from your teeth?
Mix a little bit of baking soda and peroxide together and use as a paste instead of your normal tooth paste once a week.
Brush that tongue!
Bacteria builds up on your tongue so always remember to brush it! Can’t find your toothbrush? Eat an apple! The flesh of the apple cleans your teeth while the pectin in the apple helps gets rid of any bad odor!
STOP!
Do not apply moisturizer after waxing your upper lip! Apply sweet almond oil to the spot, then apply a cold compress or bag of frozen food to the area for a few minutes. This will make the redness go down and stop irritation!
Slippery lips!
To stop your lip gloss from slipping, rub an ice cube over your lips after applying.
Lipstick on the teeth?
After applying lipstick make an O shape with your lips, put you index finger halfway into your mouth and slowly pull out, letting your lips roll over the finger. Any excess color will glide onto you finger and not on your teeth!

Which lipcolor is best for you
Different lip colors look better on different sized pouts. Smaller mouths look best with lighter colors, while fuller mouths can handle darker colors.
Gloss or lipstick?
Lip-gloss makes lips appear fuller because of shine and they attract eyes to the mouth. But gloss looks best on younger pouts, a shimmery lipstick can work well on older women without looking juvenile.
Lip liner as lipstick
Line and fill in lips with lip liner then put Vaseline on top to make the color last all day while moisturizing lips! @misspinksugar
Summertime Lips
For the sunny summer months it is especially important to make the switch (if you haven't earlier this year) to lip products with SPF in them. Lips are just as susceptible to skin cancer as any other skin on the body. Besides, sunburnt lips are very painful!

Always Remember to Brush Your Lips?
Brush your lips! Not only does it take away any chapping, but it plumps up the lip temporarily for that sought-after “pouty” look.
Keep Up With the Red Lipstick Trend!
If you find your new red lipstick is just too bright for your skin tone, try adding a little brown to your red. It tends to tone down the brightness giving you perfectly red lips.
Prevent Your Lips From Drying Out
First of all, keep yourself hydrated by drinking lots of water. Also, slick a little bit of honey on your lips. Not only is honey rich in moisturizers, but it also provides a protective barrier.
Remove Stubborn Lip Stains
Don't let a stubborn lip stain cause you too much stress. Squirt a small puff of shaving cream on a tissue, and wipe across your lips gently. The chemicals will remove the color without the irritation that comes with scrubbing.
Learn to Fake Full Lips
Use a lip liner that matches your lip color as closely as possible. Trace the pencil just outside your natural lip line, then apply a tinted balm, gloss or sheer lipstick on time. This way you create a very natural look.
Want Smaller Lips?
There is a way to downsize larger lips. Use pink-browns, nudes, and other neutral-toned matte shades of lip color. Don't use liner, and focus color in the middle of lips.
Make Your Own Tinted Lip-gloss
Create your own tinted lip-gloss by simply mixing any of your favorite lipsticks with a little bit of Vaseline.
Soft Stained Lips, No Problem!
To achieve this look, try dabbing a creamy cheek color on lips for a long-wearing stain with soft shine.
The Big "O" Tip
After applying lipstick or gloss, pucker your lips into an extreme "O." Cover your finger in a tissue, and poke it into your mouth. Twist away any excess color that will eventually land up on your teeth and such.
Fuller Lips
A little bit of orange or red in the center of the lips makes them look fuller.
Double Duty Translucent Powder
Although translucent powder is supposed to help set makeup and take away any unnecessary shine, it can help in other ways. It can be used to lighten brows and to seal lipstick.
Get The Look: Dramatic Eyes
Strong, sexy eyes look amazing when paired with a nude lip. Pile on layers of smoky smudge eye shadow in corresponding dark colors. Leave the rest of your face as natural as possible, including your lips to really make your eyes pop.
Whiten Your Teeth With Burnt Toast
Burned toast believe it or not is very effective in whitening teeth. The charcoal in the toast is the key ingredient! Pound a few slices in to a powder and add a few drops of peppermint oil. Those whites will be shining bright in no time!
High-end High-gloss
To get that high-end high-gloss look, give your lips some real depth! With a hot pink lip pencil, thickly line your lips, then use your finger to blend the color in to the center of lips so it fades out nicely. For an amazing shine, slick on a lot of clear lip gloss.

NAILS
At Home French Manicure!
This beauty tip comes from one of our e.l.f. members, Lauren:
When I don't want to pay a fortune to get white tips I just do it myself! I got some white nail polish, polish remover, a top coat polish, and q-tips. You just paint on a line of white paint at the tips, dip the q-tip into the polish remover and make the line straight. Then let that dry and put on the top coat. I especially like this for my toe nails because it makes them look nice and it stays on a lot longer than when I put it on my finger nails.
Got nails that won’t dry?
Dip them in a bowl of ice water. It should freeze them right up!
Avoid the corners!!
When getting a manicure always ask your manicurist not to file the corners! Filing the corners weakens your nails and can cause your nails to crack!!
Got nails that won’t dry?
Dip them in a bowl of ice water. It should freeze them right up!
Base coat first!
Don’t forget to apply a top base coat on your nails before you apply polish to prevent your nails from turning yellow!!
Don’t cut your cuticles!
I know ladies, but fight the urge, cutting your cuticles allows for bacteria to harvest easier. Instead add a dab of coking oil ( I prefer extra virgin olive oil) to your cuticles and gently massage in and push back the cuticles.
Need a little nail therapy?
Use a Mascara Wand for massage cleaning under your nails!!
Is your manicure always chipping on vacation?
Bring the elf survival kit! Nail polish remover pads (they don’t spill!) & Favorite led nail lacquer color, its fast, its simple, and its affordable!
Nail Polish
Keep your nail polishes lasting longer by sticking them in the refrigerator!
Dirty nails from gardening?
Before gardening, take a bar of soap and scratch the top with your nails. This way the soap gets under your nails and blocks out the dirt that would normally get in there. Wash your hands afterward for clean nails and a beautiful garden.
Whiten Your Nails
Use a nail brush and whitening toothpaste. So you can scrub away the yellow! @sabrinalovesyou
Painting Nails in a Hurry?
Swipe on your color, then put a drop of vegetable oil or vegtable oil cooking spray on your nails. It dries them instantly! @sararoseart
Fix Chipped Polish On The Quick
Use a file and smooth out the chipped polish until the ridge is even with the nail. Apply polish on to the chipped area, and then let it dry. Afterwards, re-coat the entire nail.
Make Your Favorite Nail Polish Last Longer
To extend the life of nail polish, clean the top of the bottle with a tissue after applying. Polish buildup allows air into the bottle, and the product will evaporate.
Messy Manicure?
Nail Polish stains around the nail can be tricky to remove without messing up the manicure you have given yourself. Use an old eyeliner brush dipped in nail polish remover to clean up a messy manicure.
Let Those Dull Nails Shine!
If you find your nail polish has become dull, coat polished nails with a drop of olive oil. Rub it in to your cuticles as well. Your nails will be shining again in no time.
Terminate Those Nail Stains
If you find that your finger nails are stained from dark polish, stick your fingers into lemon halves for at least 5 minutes. This trick is an instant brightener!
Popsicle Stick File
This is a great standby! If you are without a nail file, enjoy a tasty popsicle, and use the stick to file down your nails. It’s inexpensive and quite useful for natural nails.
The Right Nail File For You?
Metal File: A good file because it can easily be reused and leaves edges smooth. Coarse File: A good nail file for artificial nails as it has the texture of sandpaper. Two-Sided File: Practical because one side shapes natural nails with its slightly abrasiveness. While the other's smooth surface buffs and finishes nails.
Prevent Yellowed Nails
In order to prevent the discoloration that can occasionally happen with nail polish stains, always use a base coat of great quality before applying polish!
Nail Polish Ruined Your Nails?
Sometimes nail polish can discolor nails and turn them yellow. If this happens apply white vinegar to the nail.
To Soak or not to Soak?
Instead of soaking your nails in water prior to a manicure, heal your cuticles with warm olive oil and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Soak for 5-10 minutes and watch your nails become stronger and your cuticles softer.
Nail Polish Bubbles?
Don't shake your polish. Instead roll it between your hands and it will blend the color getting rid of those pesky bubbles.
You Are What You Eat.
Unhealthy cuticles are the result of a poor diet. Leave the sugar and saturated fats aside and eat food high in Vitamins A, B, C, D, E like turkey, salmon, broccoli and potatoes.
Make Your Manicure Last
When applying polish, sweep the brush across the edge and under the nail tip. This creates a "wrapping" effect that minimizing chipping.
Thick and Goey Nail Polish?
This is a sign that your polish is reaching its expiration date, but don't worry. Just add nail polish thinner and it will thin the polish back to its original firmness.
Extend Your Polish's Shelf Life
Storing your favorite polish in the fridge can actually extend its shelf life and prevent it from becoming thick.
On A Budget?
Make your manicure last by keeping your nails short. Short nails are less prone to chipping and breaking than longer ones. So reschedule your salon appointment and keep some extra cash in your pocket.
Polish Peels Off Easily?
Overgrown cuticles may be the reason. Keep them healthy by applying a drop of olive oil and then pushing them back with a wooden cuticle stick.
Two Is Better Than One
Apply two coats of polish for maximum shine and color vibrancy. Wait for the first coat to dry before painting the second one so the polish can dry and create a bond.
Long Lasting Shine and Color
Applying a coat of clear nail polish after your manicure will keep its shine and color lasting for another week.
Nail Biting?
Paint your nails a bitter-tasting polish to remind you to stop every time you start biting your nails.
Strengthen Your Nails
Avoid direct contact with dishwashing chemicals by wearing gloves that can prevent your nails from weakening and drying out.
Avoid Brittle Nails
Polish remover dries out nails and makes them brittle. Instead of entirely removing your nail polish everytime you want to fix a nail, try touching it up and give your nails a break.
Extra Dry Nails?
Apply cuticle moisturizer at night and then wear cotton gloves over the moisturizer. Remove the gloves in the morning and enjoy softer hands and nails.
Use Your Shower As A Nail Polish Remover
Paint your nails an hour before you head to bed. When you shower the next morning, any left over polish on your skin will soften and peel off.
A Massage Can Help Your Nails!
Give yourself a well deserved hand massage and it will increase the circulation of your blood while promoting healthy nail growth.
Fashionable and Funky?
Have an inner artist inside of you? Use toothpicks to creates shapes, lines and other designs with your polish.
Oh No, My Nail Broke!
When was the last time you pampered yourself? A weekly 15 minute manicure can prevent chips and breaks.
Quick Fix?
Messed up your manicure? Ditch the cotton ball that can remove too much polish. Instead, use a q-tip to get rid of small polish mistakes.
Let Your Fingers Be!
Your fingers were not meant to take the place of a tooth pick or a pair of scissors. Using your nails as tools can lead to weak and brittle nails.
Are Your Nails Bugging You?
Don't let an infection fester. If you don't see a change in your nails after five days, call your doctor and get professional treatment.
