What's The Best Beauty Advice You've Ever Gotten?

Last week, we posted a roundup of our best beauty tips - turns out that was a good start, but our brilliant and obviously gorgeous Twitter readers have plenty more to add. So we asked 'em: What's the best ebauty advice you've ever received?


  1. mailelalayna: Heat your eyelash curler for a few seconds with the hairdryer...helps curl better and hold better!
  2. empire_mj: Use an eyeliner brush to apply mascara to lash roots - it works surprisingly well
  3. edenofgarden: ALWAYS use primer potion before applying shadow!
  4. geminiamr05: Always moisturize and drinks lots of water - it's good for your skin and hydrates it
  5. rokeyesIcon_lock: Apply bronzer in a sweeping "3" on each side of the face, starting at the forehead, onto the nose, and then across the chin.
  6. LindsayMax: Shaping my dark eyebrows was the greatest face enhancement I've made. It's amazing what changing your arch can do.
  7. SunfyshIcon_lock: Best tip: Ask yourself, "Is it worth the wrinkle?"
  8. omgxitskatiexx: Use a business card behind your lashes when you apply mascara...nifty trick I learned from @RiceBunny.
  9. tayyyy15Icon_lock: Wash your face EVERY night no matter how tired you are!!
  10. JRad14: Blend! Blend! Blend! Using good brushes and blending well sets the amateurs apart from true artists.
  11. JessiG88: Always leave conditioner in your hair for at least 5 min in the shower (instant deep conditioner).
  12. GatheringsOn3rd:You should be complimented on how beautiful YOU are, not your makeup (in other words, makeup should not be very noticeable).
  13. amberrashelle: To always keep a SMILE on your face! :)
  14. lasgarrett: Baby wipes are wonderful to use as a face cleanser/makeup remover
  15. CobrettaIcon_lock:Always put your powder on with a brush.
  16. charnell: Blue eyeliner to make the whites of your eyes pop and mascara only on the outer lashes.

To make the eyes look more "awake": apply silvery eyeshadow from inner corner of the eyes to about a third of the eyes.

My mother always said "keep your hands and your hair off your face and you'll cut down dramatically on an oily face!" Good advice.

Keeping conditioner in your hair for five minutes is a waste of time, unless it containss oils that can actually penetrate the hair shaft (like Josie Maran's argan oil or Ojon's hair treatment). Most conditioners use silicone to smooth hair, and that only coats the outside, so the amount of time left in hair makes no difference for those. Bad tip JessiG88!
