Therefore, looking good not only boosts your confidence, but it also leaves a good impression on other people. We share with you 12 beauty tips that every woman should know and which will never go out of style.

1.            Always Have A Pair Of Heels A nice pair of heels is one of the essential things that every woman should have in their shoe cabinet. And we are not talking about 7 inch high heels that can potentially lead to back problems; a pair with a short heel also has the potential to enhance confidence, add height, accentuate legs and make a woman look and appear taller and slimmer.

2.     Dry Nail Polish with Cold Water:  Your nails are among the first thing that other people will notice about you. Your nails should look well groomed or manicured, and definitely should not be chipped. One tip to make applying of nail polish less of a hassle. If you have no time to dry your nails, the easiest method is to deep your nails in cold water for a few minutes. The ice cold water will make your polished nails dry faster.

All these duties take up time, potentially leaving you no time for a manicure.When time is of the essence, use this quick way to camouflage chipped nail polish. For a fast and easy fix, apply glitter nail polish on top of your chipped polished nail.

4.     Always Use A Heated Eyelash Curler Eyelashes stay longer when they are curled by an eyelash curler that has been slightly heated. To heat the eyelash curler, warm it for 2 to 3 seconds under a blow dryer before using it on eyelashes. Do make sure to test the curler on the back of your hands to make sure it is not too hot. Apply mascara after curling, not before, to prevent your lashes from getting stuck or being pulled out.

5.     Cleanse And Moisturize Your Face Skin care products sell all year round, yet there are still ladies who do not have a dedicated facial cleanser!A skin care routine that works involves cleansing as the first step of facial skin care. This is followed by toning, exfoliating and moisturizing. Cleansing and moisturizing are the most important steps while toning and exfoliating are optional.

6.     Drink Enough Water Plain, simple water is known to have various health benefits especially for your skin. To ensure you have clear youthful skin, drink between 8 to 12 glasses of water every day as your skin need to be sufficiently hydrated and moisturised to prevent it from ageing quickly.

Drinking enough water also means you are hydrated the whole day and feel less hungry. This helps you to maintain high energy levels, feel less lethargic and generally stay better in shape.

7.     Dry Wet Hair By Blotting Rubbing a towel on your hair to dry wet hair results in breakage of hair for most women and is not recommended. To remove excess water after washing your hair, gently squeeze out water from portions of the hair by patting and blotting instead of rubbing.

8.     Shape Your Eyebrows Perfectly shaped eyebrows are sexy and glamorous. The key rule that applies to all eyebrows is to avoid over plucking. If you eyes are the gate to your soul, eyebrows are the frame of your eyes and deserve as much attention!

9.      Mix Eye-shadow And Petroleum Jelly To Make Lipstick To create a different shade of lipstick, mix a small amount of eye-shadow or blush with petroleum jelly. To ensure the lipstick stays, powder your lips first and fill your lips with lip liner before applying the lipstick to ensure it lasts longer.

10.     Eliminate Puffy Eyes Get rid of puffy eyes with cucumber or tea bags. Puffy eyes have many causes including too much salt, caffeine, alcohol, genetics and of course, lack of sleep.

If you wake up in the morning and the first thing you see in the mirror are puffy eyes, immediately put two black or chamomile tea bags in boiled water. Let them cool to the touch, then apply one bag over each eye and leave it on for at least 10 to 15 minutes.

You can also use cucumber slices, witch hazel soaked cotton pads or raw slices of potatoes on your eyes to eliminate water retention around your eye area.

11.     Always Use Sunscreen

While your skin may look beautiful in your youth, the same cannot be said when you start moving into your late 30s. Therefore, to maintain that youthful glowing skin, invest in a good sunscreen which will protect you from harmful ultraviolet rays.

In addition, sunscreen acts as a barrier to UV rays which are linked to skin cancer. If you do not have sunscreen, cut a ripe tomato into half and rub it on your skin. This will also protect your skin when you go out in the sun.

12.     Wavy Hair For A Good Hair Day

Braid hair at night to get the waves in the morning. You can create wavy hair by yourself if you neither have the time nor money to go to a hair stylist.

First partition your hair into 4 to 8 portions. Then braid each of the hair portions at night and tie rubber bands at the end of the tails. Unbraid the following morning for a good hair day!

Women should use these beauty tricks and tips to look their personal best by accentuating their best features. A confident, modern woman is a sexy woman, and every woman is capable of being sexy.
