Beauty Tip 1 According to Maybelline New York Global makeup artist Erin Parsons, using a waterproof mascara can enhance the longevity of a lash curl. It acts as a lash perm, sealing in the lift. Try the Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara.
Beauty Tip 2 To speed up the drying process after painting your nails, dip your hands in ice water.
Beauty Tip 3 Transform any creamy lipstick into a matte finish with loose powder and a tissue. Apply your desired lipstick color, then place a tissue over your lips and lightly brush powder over the tissue. The powder will absorb shine, leaving you with a smooth matte look.
