10 Timeless Beauty Do's and Don'ts

Anne Wright
These 10 timeless beauty do's and don'ts will have you looking better without wasting a lot of time and money. Audrey Hepburn didn't change her look every season, so why should I? These are some of the most important beauty tips I've learned from years of visiting salons and boutiques.

Do Use Sunscreen: Beauty tips won't do much good if you don't prevent premature aging. Use sunscreen lavishly every day. Cheap brands works as well as luxury products.

Don't Neglect Your Eyebrows: Getting your eyebrows shaped is probably the cheapest, fastest and highest impact treatment you can get in a salon. If you color your hair, make sure your eyebrows coordinate.

Do Select the Right Eyeglass Frames: Eyeglass frames are one of the most noticeable elements of your appearance. Generally, a shape that contrasts with your face shape will work best.

Don't Use Black Mascara If You Are Fair Skinned: Black mascara can create the appearance of dark under eye circles on fair skin.

Do Use the Right Color Concealer: Concealer that is too light highlights the problem area. Apply it first if you use foundation. It's worth visiting a salon or department store to get color suggestions.

Don't Put Eyeliner On In An Unbroken Line: It works much better if you dot it on instead of trying to draw a solid line, and it will be easier to keep it close to your lash line where it belongs.

Do Make Your Lipstick Stick: Make your lip color last until you want to remove it. Using a primer is a sound beauty tip. Also, put tissue over your lips and dust with powder for reinforcement.

Don't Wear High Heels if You Can't Walk In Them: If you're uncomfortable walking in high heels, you may wind up looking as awkward as you feel. Well designed high heels provide enough support to be comfortable so shop around if you don't want to give up on heels all together.

Do Wear Hats: Investing in flattering hats is another cheap and easy beauty tip. You save time on your hair, protect your skin, and people get the impression you made more of an effort than you really did.

Don't Forget Inner Beauty: Developing your mind and your manners is the most important beauty tip, and it's more important than what you wear.

These timeless beauty do's and don'ts are beauty tips that can help you look and feel better forever.
