"Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. I'm not just talking about your face, but your entire body, from arms to feet, elbows to heels. Soft skin makes you look fresh. My top choices are all-natural shea butter and coconut oil."

In a 2010 shoot, the makeup artist suggested that mascara wasn't for lashes, but for eye shape. This is a small revelation. Instead of gorging it on my lashes, I applied it to my outer lashes for an elongated, wing-like effect. I never looked back."

"Take the time to find a cleanser that you absolutely love. That way you'll never forget to take your makeup off before bed."

"I believe it's makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench's suggestion to use brow products with grey tones so you can shade both under and under your eyebrows for a more natural look." So does my beard. Freddie Mercury is so fake!"

"If you cut your own bangs, use vertical nail clippers. They're small enough that you don't really mess up, and it gives your hair a sexy, vibrant vibe."

"Bring a crystal file with you when hammering nails: it reduces rough edges from cheap files and prevents breakage."

"The best way to get that cool beach quality out of a fluffy wave is to choose a soft mousse and pat it around the head the size of a marble -- in the crown, in the middle of the stem and near the ends." Run your fingers through it, rub it... Wait until it dries before you touch it. It's hard not to move your hair when it's dry, but when you do, it can lead to frizziness. Once dry, spray an inch down from the roots, through the base, massage, and wash."

In my opinion, it's a rule of thumb before getting a shot or a cosmetic consultation: don't overgrow your eyebrows. Wax or tweeze your eyebrows professionally so your doctor can see exactly where your eyebrows are. Otherwise, a syringe or surgeon might raise your eyebrows too high."

"When you're on a budget and in a hurry to get out the door, apply a light shade to the inner corners of your eyes. It makes you look brighter and more awake, even without mascara."
