Use something soft to dry your face!
Dry Sensitive Skin with Toilet Paper
I bet you're thinking, 'what? dry my FACE with toilet paper? Ewww!' Seriously though, instead of drying your face with a scratchy towel, pat with toilet paper-it's ultrasoft on delicate skin!

Get the right foundation color!
The fail-proof way to pick the perfect shade of foundation
Selecting an exact skin-tone-matching makeup shade can be tricky. Foundation needs to be sampled in natural light, but most stores have fluorescent bulbs, which distort the color of the foundation.
The trick is to dab on a touch of what seems to be your makeup match at the cosmetics counter, then head outside to check out your reflection in broad daylight.

Make the most of your body spray.
Keep Your Scent Longer
Applying body spray or perfume right after you shower is a great way to ensure it will last. When you're in the shower, your pores open up and therefore spraying body spray while they're still open allows the scent to settle in to your skin.
Get out of the shower or bath and just "dab" off, don't dry yourself completely, then spray the body spray or perfume on yourself. Continue to "dab" off and reapply the spray if necessary.
You will notice the scent last longer!

A quick fix for a broken nail!
Super-Glue a Nail
Instead of tearing off your nail when it breaks, put a tiny dab of Super Glue over the split, and paint a generous layer of your favorite nailpolish shade over it. Go for an opaque option (like red, purple, or coral) to camouflage and seal the crack.

Don't have time to wash your hair? No worries!
Powder Your Roots!
If your hairline starts to look greasy, dig up a big, fluffy makeup brush, and dip it into a pot of loose powder. Tap it once on the back of your hand to remove the excess, then dust it over your roots. It mops up oil and blends into your strands, so no one will know you didn't wash your hair.
