Health and Beauty Tip -- Plucking and Shaping Eyebrows
Make sure not to lose the curve of your eyebrows when plucking. A good way to do this is to pluck from underneath on the outer arch, and from above on the inner arch.

I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming... suddenly you find -- at the age of 50, say -- that a whole new life has opened before you.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Quick Face Powder Fix
In a pinch, you can use corn starch as face powder. Don't use too much, though -- it can tend to make you look pale.

Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Don't Leave Makeup On
After a long day, you may not want to go to the trouble of removing all your makeup. If you're consistently leaving it on at bedtime, though, you'll be more prone to breakouts and clogged pores. If you simply don't have time, keep some cleansing wipes by your bed. A quick clean is better than none at all.

You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. You can't sit back and wait.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Make the Most of Hair Products
You don't need to use two different kinds of hair product to get the style you want. Use the same hair cream on wet hair (to tame frizz) as you do on dry hair (to hold flyaways). If you prefer gel, apply to damp hair for hold, then again to dry hair for shine.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Quick Hair-Drying
You can cut up to 15 minutes off your morning preparation time by trying this technique: with your dryer set on low, turn your head upside down and dry while using your fingers to style.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Get the Most Out of Lipstick
You don't need to buy multiple tubes of lipstick to get different looks! If you want a glossy finish, apply a thin layer of Vaseline to your lips first. Dust your lipstick with some loose powder once it's applied for a matte finish, or pat it on gently for a stain. And for an evening style, mix your lipstick with a bit of dark eyeshadow.

If you can't say anything good about someone, sit right here by me.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Getting a Perfect Haircut
Make sure your stylist knows exactly what you want, and help her get it just right. Sit up straight in your chair, to make sure your posture (and thus your style) isn't skewed. And instead of just describing what you want, use your hands to indicate length and style wherever you can. This gives the stylist a better idea visually of what you'...Read more

Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.

To keep your eyeshadow looking great all day, apply a little concealer to your eyelid before brushing it on. This will make it last all day!

You should always believe what you read in the newspapers, for that makes them more interesting.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Simple Make-Up Remover
Here's a quick fix for make-up removal -- instead of cold cream or just soap and water, try a cotton pad or ball with baby oil. Swipe it across your face. It works just as well as a commercial make-up remover.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Add Radiance to Your Face
When you're done applying your makeup, take your brush and apply a very light dusting of baby powder to give your face a radiant glow. Too much will make you look pale, though, so use it sparingly!
