Get Your Beauty Questions Answered!

Admittedly, a very few people are skilled and trained in terms of enhancing our outer appearance, so most of us beautify ourselves either by tried-and-tested methods or through trial-and-error. We at The Australasian College Broadway aim to bring out the beauty in you, this time by answering your beauty questions.

1. How often and how do I wash my makeup brushes? Specialists agree that washing your makeup brushes once a month is okay. The proper way of washing your makeup brushes is to dip them in warm, soapy water (you can use shampoo or a mild bar soap), rinse it, blot the brush with a clean towel then use a blow-dryer to dry the bristles gently.

2. How can I tighten sagging on my face? The most cost-effective answer to this question involves using egg whites. Whip up the white from a single egg, brush it onto your face, and then let it dry for 15-20 minutes. Spritz on some water to soften the mask then wash it off. You could also rub ice cubes all over your face – you’ll look refreshed in no time!

3. How do I shape my own eyebrows? With Cara Delevingne’s and Lily Collins’s eyebrows taking center stage, it’s no secret that full eyebrows have been trendy and are showing no signs of going away. Emphasise your eyebrows by shaping them up and away from your eyes, then tweeze the random strays that stick out. Once you’re done, use a brow pencil or brow powder to fill in any obvious gaps. Finally, put a dab of concealer underneath and over your brow line to conceal strays and to make the eyebrow really stand out. Another secret to beautiful brows is conditioning them once or twice a week.

4. How do I stop nail polish from staining? Stop nail polish from smudging by trying this do-it-yourself remedy: Soak your nails for a few minutes in a solution of ½ cup lemon juice and ½ cup olive oil, as suggested by NYC manicurist Patricia Yankee.

5. How do I choose the right lipstick for my skin tone?

Fair skin usually looks great with more orange-based shades. Look for fruity colours that really brighten your look without overpowering it. For girls with beige skin, look for colours with crisp, clean undertones that aren’t too dark so that they contrast nicely against your skin tone. Golden-skin toned girls could play up the honey warmth of your skin for rich colours with warm undertones, while those with olive skin could try looking for blue undertones that give the lips a flirtatious wash of colour.
