How to Make Your Own Beauty Products from Scratch - Lifestyle. Let's keep things simple this week. When it comes to personal-care products, we are big believers in streamlining what you use—see "Eight Products You Think You Need But Don't" for a refresher—buying less in general, and getting creative.

We have both always loved experimenting in our kitchens and our bathrooms, checking ingredients in products we love, isolating the main ones, and then trying them on their own. Sometimes it works: A favorite hair leave-in contained aloe, for example, so one day we tried aloe alone and found that, lo and behold, it worked just fine on its own. And sometimes it didn't. Over the years we have tried dozens of DIY beauty recipes to find ones we like—and that work. Below are our favorite six.

Perfume Shave oil. Tutorial : Soft Curls Without A Curling Iron. I thought I'd share a simple way to curl your hair without the use of a curling iron. Hopefully, this hasn't already been done before. You want to start with your hair only slightly damp. Section your hair in half and twist one side all the way down. Without letting go of the twist, use your other hand to twist your hair into a bun onto the side of your head. Secure this tightly with a hair tie. Repeat the same process on the other side. You should look like you have two knobs coming out of both sides of your head. The next morning, make sure your hair is dry, and then let your hair loose. This works sort of like a gel. This gives your hair some texture and separates the curls so your hair will look more volumized. It's a little difficult to see, but this is the final result! Good Homemade Beauty Recipes.

Over to Catherine………………………… Raise a brow I always begin with filling and shaping the eyebrows as I feel it creates a frame for the rest of the eye makeup. With an eyebrow brush, begin by brushing upwards through the eyebrow, then along towards the out corner of the eye. This helps you see the natural shape of your eyebrows better.

To fill in your brows, use an angled brush with a matt eye shadow. Keep a lid on it Take a light peachy bronze colour and sweep over the entire lower lid up to the socket line. Bright eyes Next take a light reflecting eye shadow and add to the inner corner of each eye with a small brush. Socket to ‘em Don’t be harsh Take a matt ivory colour such as Vanilla by Mac and apply to the brow bone. 25 Beautiful DIY Ways to Store Jewelry.
