GL girl lovinglyf4ever’s
tips on her daily beauty routine (hint: It’s all about making the eyes pop!)
and find out what this Washington, DC babe uses to soothe a serious zit!
Three ways to describe my
beauty style: Fresh faced and simple, Sporty and
natural, Total beauty babe--love giving advice to my besties!
I wear makeup… Most of
the time, but it's okay to skip some days! I love having a neutral face but
with bold eyes. Sweeping gold on my lids really allows my eyes to pop, and
blending darker browns into my crease adds definition. I ALWAYS wear liquid
liner, and wing it out. In the outer corner of my water line I apply black
pencil liner to define my eyes more. That is basically what I do every day!
My best beauty tip: Got a
zit? Don't pick or pop, instead make a paste using baking soda. Mix one part
water, to two parts baking soda, and apply the paste to your problem area. You
can leave the mixture on anywhere from 15 minutes to overnight. The mixture can
be drying to your skin so you may want to moisturize afterwards. Also, if you
have black/white heads you can mix less baking soda with water to create a
facial scrub.
