Beauty Emergency Quick Fixes San Francisco CA

(NC)-Flubbed your polish? Made a streaky mess with your self-tanner? Not to worry. These rapid repairs from Q-tips Cotton Swabs (www.homebasics.ca) will have you out the door in a flash.

Tired Eyes

For years, everyone recommended navy blue liner as the key to brightening eyes. Actually, the secret is light blue. Line the inner rim of your bottom eyelid with pale blue liner. The pastel hue makes the whites of your eyes appear brighter.

Skin Blemishes

Use a clean lip brush instead of your finger to apply concealer. You get more precise application and better coverage. (Heat from your finger can dilute the product).

5 pm Flat Hair

Resist the urge to pile on more styling product or hairspray. Instead, mist your hair with water and shape it into place with your fingers. The water will reactivate the styling product you already have in your hair.

Grey Roots

No time for a colour touch-up? Use a coloured mascara that matches your hair colour to instantly camouflage grey hairs.

Smudged Nail

Put a drop of nail polish remover on your finger and smooth out the smudge. Wait a few seconds, then apply a light coat of polish over the whole nail. Apply a speed-dry topcoat to get you out the door fast.

Self-Tanner Streaks

It's easy to create streaks when you're using self-tanner. Even out skin tone by rubbing body scrub firmly over the area. You'll remove the outer flaky skin that the self-tanner adheres to.
