To keep hair from turning gray, eat some curry leaf chutney, about a teaspoonful, every day. It contains many nutrients that will help pigment stay in your hair and keep it healthy. You can also apply rosemary essential oil (preferably scented) to your hair each day to keep your hair strong and healthy.

Keep pink lipstick in your makeup bag for days when you have a blemish. Not that you should apply the lipstick to the actual problem, but because the pink lipstick usually draws attention to the lips and minimizes focus on other areas.

A beauty tip for you: Make your eyelashes look longer and fuller with a long-lasting lengthening mascara. Many kinds of mascara brag that they have special formulas that will provide curl and volume to your lashes. Many of these are too heavy. They are bad for the skin around your lash line and they may straighten a natural lash curl by weighing lashes down. Use a lengthening formula instead. If you want voluminous lashes that curl upwards, then you want a lengthening formula.

To achieve beautiful lips easily, think glossy. Outline your lips with some bronzer that is two shades darker than your skin. Next, apply a top coat of peach, coral or gold-toned gloss.
