Trinity’s Top Five Beauty Tips

• Nothing says desperate like too much perfume.  Before you get dressed, spray your perfume into a cloud in the air, then lift up your wrists and walk through the cloud.

• To cure static-y, flyaway hair in the dry season – spray a squirt of hairspray straight onto your brush and then run the brush through your hair.

• Those extra-length, extra-fullness mascaras with the white basecoat actually work!  And so what if they’re made out of rodent hair?  First of all, it’s worth it.  And second of all, that’s probably just an urban legend anyway.

• Dieting makes you fat.  Oh yes, it does.  You know I’m right, girls.  Moderate, healthy eating, with the occasional indulgence, is the only way to go.  Boring … but true!

• What do you do when a large zit or a red tide of acne appears just before an important occasion.  I know – total crisis, right?  Well, not necessarily.  Try zapping that sucker with a dab of toothpaste or some anti-redness eye drops the night before (or however long you’ve got to work with).  Be careful of over-the-counter acne treatments as some of them are very harsh and can cause extra redness and flakiness.
Then use a good concealer, a liquid foundation, and a powder to cover whatever is left of the problem.  Make sure you are matching your make-up to your skin tone and not applying it with a trowel.  Less is more, ladies.  And remember to pack some concealer in your bag for emergency re-application during the course of the evening.
