If you only have the time and money for a single beauty product, consider spending it on a flattering cheek color.

Always use an appropriate moisturizer for your facial skin. Even if your skin is oily, you should keep it moisturized. Sun protection is very important so make sure the moisturizer you choose has an SPF value.
If you have striking brown eyes, you can play them up by adding eyeshadow, liner, and mascara in colors that are especially flattering for your eye color.

In order to make your teeth look whiter, use lipstick with cool, blue undertones. Lipsticks with warm, orange-based undertones accentuate the natural yellow color of your teeth, making them look yellower.

If you have ever caught yourself peeling off nail polish because it had begun to chip, it’s possible you have done damage to your nail. When the nail polish is peeled off like this, there is a chance you are taking off a layer of the nail plate. This can cause your nail to thin out or crack. Opt for an acetone-free nail polish remover instead.
Very delicate hair, which is prone to frizz, can be damaged by towel drying. Instead, lightly scrunch your hair with the towel, and pat it dry. It may take longer, but it will give you much better results.

Used coffee grounds are a great way to exfoliate for your hands. Once cooled, put the coffee grounds in a plastic bag, and keep them in the refrigerator.

Coffee grounds work in much the same way as when you exfoliate with sand-based products, and your hands will feel silky smooth.
