• Neglecting your overall fitness

Even if nobody is going to see you, good fitness, hygiene and your overall appearance plays a large role in your self-esteem.

• Bad tooth

You may not notice your teeth because your not looking at them, but your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. Keep your teeth brushed and flossed. It's healthy and attractive.

• Forgetting your hands.

Soften your hands with lotion and keep your fingernails clean. Top this off with a great manicure. 

• Over-plucking your eyebrows.

Don't get carried away when plucking your eyebrows. Take your time and buy an eyebrow stencil if necessary. If you make a mistake, use an eyebrow or eyeliner pencil the same color as your eyebrows to fill in sparse areas. Your eyebrows should be perfect.

Applied self-tanner unevenly and ended up with a streaky tan.  Massage mineral or baby oil into your skin to dissolve the self-tanner, then use an exfoliator.

Tried the home made product and turned red?

Calm the irritation with a milk-soaked washcloth, then apply an OTC hydrocortisone cream to the red areas. Before you smear any new product on your face -- homemade or store-bought -- always patch-test it first on the inside of your arm.

After a bikini wax, the area bled slightly. Is that normal?

Some pinpoint bleeding is common in this thin-skinned area while waxing. A cotton compress saturated with hydrogen peroxide will stop it and prevent infection.

Accidentally ripped off half of one while waxing the eyebrows?

While you're waiting for the hair to grow back, sweep a bit of brow-colored eye shadow over the bald spot.

Upper lip turned red during the lip wax

Next time prep the area with powder so the wax grabs hair rather than skin. Then minimize any post waxing redness with an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.

Burned eyelashes during cooking

Go faux with a strip eyelash. For the most natural look, opt for one with an invisible band (as opposed to a black band)

Popped a huge zit, and it wouldn't stop bleeding.
Apply firm pressure to stop the bleeding, and use a cold compress or an ice cube wrapped in tissue to quell swelling. (Next time, don't pick!)

Plucked an ingrown leg hair, and it got  infected .
You can get a secondary infection from something minor. Before attempting bathroom surgery, sterilize both the skin and the tweezers with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, and apply a topical antibiotic afterward.

Crusty Heels: You spend lots of time painting your toe nails a pretty, summery shade, but forget to check the state of the skin on your heels. The result: Dry, flaky, crusty heels peeking out of your mules and sandals.

Daily maintenance. Long before you plan to break out the open-back shoes, start a heel-maintenance program. This should include daily exfoliation in the shower, using either a grainy scrub or foot file; application of an AHA or BHA foot lotion, preferably twice a day; and weekly moisturizing masks to infuse dry skin with hydration.

 

Self-Tanner Sleeves: You apply your tanner meticulously, avoiding streaks and splotches, but you forget that part of your body where your arms meet your hands. The result: Tanned sleeves and white hands.

Strategic tanner application. If you're using a traditional lotion tanner, squirt a dot of product onto the back of one hand. Then rub backs of hands together, up to your wrists, to coat hands naturally. Another option: Try one of the new spray-on tanners, which allow you to direct a soft stream of tanner onto the back of each hand (without risking the dreaded tanned-palms look).

 

• Heavy foundation or overall too much makeup.

If your foundation and other makeup is applied to heavily, it will cheapen your look, clog your pores, and accentuate fine lines and wrinkles.

• Not blending in your makeup.

Always blend in your makeup to soften those lines. Foundation, eye shadow and blush all need to be smoothed in for a natural look.

• Not cleaning your make-up applicators and brushes.

Applicators and brushes should be cleaned at least bi-weekly. Oil and bacteria build-up can wreak havoc. If you're prone to pimples, you'll be surprised how much this strategy works.

• Using too dark lip liner.

Don't use lip liner that is darker or lighter than your lips. When the lipstick wears off, you're left with a dark ring around your mouth. Try using lip liner that matches your lips and fill in your entire lip area.

• Leaving makeup on overnight.

We've all done this, but at what cost? Leaving make-up on for long periods of time clogs your pores and makes you more prone to blemishes. Don't do it, you'll feel better.

• Crooked, uneven liquid eyeliner.

If you choose to use liquid eyeliner, the trick is practice and a steady hand. If you can't keep your lines even, opt for an eye liner pencil.

Summer heat melts your foundation down your cheeks?
 Follow it up with Johnson’s Baby Powder to lighten the foundation, thicken it and have a frosted effect on your skin.

WRONG COLOR FOUNDATION
If your foundation doesn't match your skin tone, it's the wrong color for you. A lot of women try to go a little darker than their complexion to get more color. You can match your foundation to your skin tone and give yourself some color, if you wish, with a little bronzer and blush smartly dusted on the apples of your cheeks.

DARK LIP LINER. 
Pairing dark lip liner with a lighter lipstick is just a bizarre look. Try a lip liner in a neutral shade that's close to the color of your natural lip. Colors like spice, hazel, or nude usually do the trick. You never want your liner to look obviously different from your lipstick. Ever.

BLUSH CONTOURING. 
Unless you are a trained makeup artist, this look is very hard to do on your own. For everyday wear, a natural blush color is best swirled lightly on the apples of your cheek, blending up towards your cheekbones. Don't use streaks or darker blush colors to contour under your cheekbones. It doesn't look good or natural in real life. The goal with blush is to look like you have a healthy glow, not like you're auditioning for a 1980s soap opera.

BLACK EYELINER. 
Black eyeliner looks good in the right context: at night, usually paired with a smoky eye, and smudged. But  a lot of people wear black eyeliner during the day. A lot of teenagers love this look. It's as if they aren't aware that companies make other eyeliner colors. Black eyeliner is far too harsh for day wear. A soft plum, khaki, brown, or even a charcoal gray shade is much more appropriate and pretty during the day.

DIRTY MAKEUP BRUSHES. 
Make up does not go on smoothly with dirty brushes. Clean your brushes once a week with a mild face soap. Let them dry laying flat so the water doesn't run into the brush handle and ruin your brushes. Brushes are an investment, and in order to paint your perfect face they are a must-have, so take good care of them!

The Trend is of High-Intensity Eye Makeup Colors and you wear Crayon-bright matching shadow and liner that results in color overkill
You think that you can't go wrong as long as colors match, but it's really not a flattering look. Choose a muted tone for the lid and a deeper tone for liner. For example, if you're itching to wear green, choose a pale mint shadow and pair it with a hunter green liner to create a flattering contrast.


The Trend: Neutral is of Glossy Lips for a Plumped-Up Pout and you apply a too-pale lip color that looks milky and washed out .
  You choose a lipstick that's lighter than your natural coloring in an attempt to make your lips look fuller. To create the appearance of plump lips, use a shade that matches or is one shade deeper than your lips. Try a high-shine gloss-it reflects light from lips and creates the appearance of fullness.

The Trend is of  the Healthy, Suntanned Look All Year-Round and you apply a fake tan that's more Day-Glo orange than sun kissed.
 Your bronzer has too much orange in it. For a glow that might actually fool people into thinking that you went on vacation, choose a brownish-red bronzer; these are the tones of naturally tanned skin.

Mis-match .
 A mismatched make-up is seen in your choice of foundation. If your foundation does not match you skin tone then you know how you are going to end-up looking for an evening party.

Bronzer Overload: In trying to give yourself a sun-kissed look, you swipe on several layers of shimmer bronzer. 
The result: Orange-brown stripes across your skin.

Wearing too much bronzer gives a decidedly unnatural look. And since the very idea of bronzer is to give a natural appearance, going overboard combats just what you're trying to do. Instead, choose a bronzer that's on the lighter side. Look for one with no or very little shimmer, since natural tans are matte, not shiny. Apply with a fluffy blush brush by swiping brush over bronzer, blowing off excess, then gently sweeping the brush over cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and temples. If you need more or want more depth, simply add a second layer.

• Dark roots.

If you color your hair, plan on maintenance. This means touching up your roots as they grow out.

• Pulling your hair back too tight.

Leave some slack when pulling your hair back into a pony tail or bun. If it's too tight, it looks strict and may even give you a headache.

• Thinking the hair color sample on the box will give you the same results.

Many factors play into the outcome of your hair color. Perms, other processing, and the amount of time you leave it in will all make a difference. If your hair doesn't match the box's sample color when you're done, it's probably because the model has a different natural hair color than your own. A better color guide? Use the one that's usually provided on the back of the carton, which shows how hair your color will look after dyeing.

Burned your scalp, because you kept the product on too long while bleaching your hair?

To keep your scalp safe when you bleach, don't shampoo or brush your hair for an entire day before

Washed your newly dyed hair with the dandruff shampoo & removed the color completely?

Dandruff shampoo is the strongest on the market wait at least 24 hours before you wash your hair, then use only a dandruff shampoo and conditioner formulated for colored hair

When highlighting with a cap, add some lowlights in a tone slightly darker than your natural color.

Had hideous rash after coloring your hair?

Many women are just sensitive to the hair color. To treat the irritation, apply an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.

You trimmed your bangs after you got out of the shower, and they're way too short. How can you do it right next time?

"Wet hair always looks longer, so you run the risk of cutting too much."  Dry hair completely before sectioning off the designated bang area by clipping back the sides. Comb down through your bangs and stop just short of the ends to hold bangs in place. Begin to trim hair a quarter inch at a time from one temple to the other, stopping after each snip to check your work. Then layer the ends by loosely clasping sections of hair between your index and middle fingers and making tiny vertical snips every quarter inch or so.

You got your hair tangled in a curling iron, and it took three friends more than two hours to get it out. You even had to cut off some of your hair! What did you do wrong?

There are two possibilities: The first is that you put too much hair in the curling iron, which makes it more likely to tangle. Or you wrapped the curling iron around your hair rather than your hair around the curling iron -- a seemingly minor detail but one that makes a big difference in preventing tress distress.

Tried to curl damp bangs with an iron. What happened? They were gone -- singed.

 Ever hear a sizzle when you're ironing a damp piece of clothing? That's exactly what you did to your bangs. Curling irons should only be used on completely dry hair.

While giving a home perm, you left the curl enhancer in all night. The next day your hair was mushy and frizzy.

Your only recourse, is to lop off the offending locks. "Once hair becomes spongy, it's damaged beyond repair."

Permed hair at home, and one side came out kinky while the other side was a loose wave. What was wrong?

It sounds like you wrapped your hair using a different tension on each side, a common problem since we don't have equal coordination in our right and left hands. The solution: Have a friend do the wrapping.

Old in not always gold
If you carry the same hairstyle in every kittie party then be sure your overall look is going to look stale and a complete cliche. Never mind a hair-do or for that matter a new hairstyle..

Developed an infection, after the manicure?

 Your best bet is to bring your own pre cleaned tools (wipe them down at home with alcohol-soaked cotton balls). Also, tell the manicurist not to clip your cuticles while manicure, since they protect the finger from bacteria.

Toenails are bright yellow after removing the nail polish?

Remove the stain with a cotton ball saturated with a few drops of both lemon juice and peroxide. In the future, use a protective base coat.

Nails became brittle after spending too much time in water?

Too much exposure to water can weaken your nails. Keep them short for a while, and always wear a base and top coat.

Long, Bright Fingernails: You love the bold color of summer polish, so you figure more polish is better. The result: Talons that are visible 50 feet away.

A swift clipping. Believe it or not, those bold summer shades look better and more modern on shorter nails -- say, tips that end no more than a quarter inch past your fingertips. Wearing a bright hue on short nails gives a more subtle flash of color, so the focus is on your whole look, not just your nails.
