It’s a combination of hairstyles — cornrows and two strand twists. If you’re good at cornrows, get one side perfect. Then the other side, you double strand twist with a little bit of Miss Jessie’s, sit under the dryer and let it dry, then untwist a little and you’re good to go!”

How to Get the Thickest Lashes Ever

Get Excited! Get Excited! Just because you've bought great mascara, doesn't mean you'll automatically have perfect lashes. It all depends on what you do with it.

To make top lashes look longer by pushing outer lashes towards the temples, the middle ones up towards the brows, and the inner lashes to the nose. This sunray effect drastically makes lashes look longer. Apply the same technique to lower lashes with the center lashes pointed straight down towards the jaw."

Use a rolling technique with the wand (roll the wand with your hands as you apply) to push the lash teeth deep into the lash roots and pull the wand to the tips.

Pro Tip:
Try using dark brown mascara on the inner half of the eye and black mascara on the outer lashes. This creates dimension and elongates the lankiest outer part of the lashes."

"Lips are also going to be bright and glossy this spring," says Dimitri James, TV personality and author of Becoming Beauty. "Shades of bright pink, clear red, orange and fuchsia will dominate this season."

One great look is a cherry red lipstick with a heavily pigmented bright orange gloss over it, James suggests. "This is the hottest shade now and you can do it yourself," he says. "Don't be afraid of color -- it’s in again!"

How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner

Great Day! With liquid eyeliner, there is never a need to use a sharpener!

Prepare your eyelid by applying eye primer and eyeshadow. It is much easier to apply liquid eyeliner correctly when there is already a cosmetic base because it creates a smooth surface.

Select the color of your liquid eyeliner. Liquid eyeliner's purpose is to create fullness and thickness in the eyelashes, so choose the same color as the mascara you plan to use for a more natural look.


Steady your hand and gently lay the tip of the felt applicator onto your upper eyelid at the base of your eyelashes. Move along your lash line slowly, creating a smooth line. Do not pull your skin because when it relaxes, you will not have a smooth line.


Line your upper lid as close to the lash line as possible, using small, short strokes. Since you may have an unsteady hand or your brush may tickle your lashes, causing you to blink, its best not to attempt to make one long line with your brush when first learning how to apply the liner. Some people line their eyelids with their eyes open, while others apply the liner while their eyes are closed -- it simply depends on which way is more comfortable for you.

If the line tends to look irregular, simply correct any mistakes with some eye makeup remover on a cotton swab. If using the applicator is still difficult for you after several practice sessions, you may want to try an eyeliner brush to apply your liquid eyeliner.
