One of the things I love most about my job as a Permanent Makeup Artist is spending time with amazing women who share the details of their lives with me while I’m beautifying them… along with some of their best kept beauty secrets.

Below is a list of my favorite beauty tips that my clients have shared with me through the years. Enjoy!

• Toilet seat covers work great to minimize oiliness in the t-zone.
• A toothbrush and hairspray can tame unruly brows.
• Cortisone cream works wonders on reducing bags under the eyes (chamomile tea bags and cucumbers work well too, but take longer to produce results).
• A dot of white toothpaste on a pimple will nearly make it disappear by morning.
• Baby powder freshens the scalp when you can’t wash your hair.
• Nail polish dries more quickly when fingers are dipped in iced water for three minutes (or just paint them in the car right before you drive somewhere).
• Conditioner can be used as a soothing and effective shave gel.
• Lipstick doubles as blusher when rubbed into the cheeks.
• Permanent Makeup is the best hidden beauty secret ever! Call me to learn more.
