The Easiest Beauty & Makeup Hacks Ever

Proper Perfume Application

Perfume is a refined mixture of essential oils, fixatives, and solvents. The fragrance can be mixed with ethanol or water and sold in various forms, such as parfums and Eau de toilettes. A parfum contains pure perfume and up to thirty percent of aromatic compounds. An eau de toilette is a lighter scent and does not contain more than ten percent fragrance.

The proper perfume application begins before you put the product on. It starts when you are choosing a scent. Select a fragrance pleasing to you with the right amount of top and bottom notes. Before you apply the perfume, take a shower to make sure your skin absorbs the scent. Hold the bottle about five to seven inches away from your body and spray. Your skin should not get wet from the spray, and if it does, it means you need to move it further away. Apply the perfume to your pulse points: your collarbones, knees, wrists, and neckline.

Make Lipstick Last Longer

Women have worn lipstick for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they crushed bugs to make lipstick, and it was worn by both genders to implicate status. Lipsticks are now made of pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients. You can find a tube of lipstick in just about any shade, though red is perhaps the most common.

Since lipstick is applied to the lips, it can come off easily. When we drink or eat, the perfect pout we took such a long time to create is gone. If you are wondering how to make lipstick last longer, outline and fill in your lips with a lip liner, then take your lipstick and apply it with a lip brush. When you need your lipstick to last longer, grab a tissue and separate layers. Place one layer of the tissue over your lips and take some loose powder with a large brush and pat it against the tissue.
