Most Annoying Beauty Problems Solved!

Makeup brushes look destroyed after just a few months!

You might not be cleaning them often enough. Letting brushes sit with product on them for too long can permanently damage the bristles. 

Washing them once a month with dish detergent, which breaks down the oils and pigments that build up in the hairs. How you dry your brushes is critical too. After a rinse, lay them flat on a paper towel. "If you put them upright in a cup, water can seep into the base and rot the brush.

An icky white film forms on the inside of the lips, when wearing gloss!

It's when lips are dry and flaky that particles can get trapped in the creases and create a gunky coating. Exfoliate your pucker with a washcloth before applying gloss. You can also run a cotton swab along the inside of lips to remove the film. Or switch to a glossy balm. It gives the same shiny look but no residue.

You wash your face before bed but find makeup on your skin in the morning.

Your cleanser isn't cutting it. Switch to an oil-based formula, like Bobbi Brown's, which breaks up cosmetics better than traditional soap. Or wash with your regular cleanser and use a cotton pad soaked in toner to remove any residue left on your skin.

You have thin, short hairs around your forehead that constantly frizz up.

Tame them by misting a clean toothbrush with hairspray then running it over your hairline to comb down strands.
