Understanding Your Beauty Tools

There are a few must have beauty items every woman should have tucked away in her home. If you’re having a bad hair day, suffering a broken fingernail or just need a quick touch up, it’s important to have the basics in your beauty care arsenal.

Even if you don’t wear nail polish, you derma roller should keep your nails clean, trimmed and smoothly filed. Keeping emery boards, nail files and cuticle scissors are a must in every household. Your nails should be kept evenly sized and filed clean and smooth. Dirt under the nails is not only unappealing, but also contaminates your skin when you touch your neck or face, causing blemishes.

Proper make up brushes are fundamental to proper application. Those little sponges that come with your eye shadow fall apart and don’t really work that well. Get a set of quality brushes, including a wide base brush, angled brush, and of course, a broad blush brush. If you use powder foundation, be sure to get a stiff and wide round brush to apply the powder in a circular motion as well. It works much better than sponges or puffs.

A good curler for your eyelashes keeps your lashes shapely and luscious. The best mascara brush on the market won’t curl your lashes up as well as a proper eyelash curler, so make sure you have one on hand.

A quality hair dryer and a good round hairbrush are a great combination that every woman should have in their home. Whether you are straightening or adding volume, these two tools can do wonders to dry and style your hair quickly. A diffuser on your blow dryer is essential for curly hair or sculpted styles, since it keeps your hair in place as it dries.

Whether you want to curl or straighten, a good ceramic flat iron will do the trick. Pull your hair straight through in an upward motion from root to tip for added volume or loop it around the barrel to create romantic curls. Flat irons create frizz free styles quickly and easily.

A good skin massager and exfoliator will leave you fresh faced with tightened pores and a smooth surface. There’s really no point in buying great make up, if you don’t start with a great canvas.
