Ever wonder how supermodels achieve the seemingly-unattainable look of perfection? Aside from airbrushed photography, being genetically-blessed, and working hard to maintain their image, the truth is… these women rely on top beauty secrets to help them look more beautiful. From makeup tricks to hairstyling techniques, featured here are 5 fabulous beauty secrets you need to know.

5 Fabulous Beauty Secrets You Need To Know

Beauty Secret # 1: How To Get Soft Lips

The beauty secret for getting super-soft, kissable lips is to exfoliate and moisturize them. Because the skin on your lips is delicate, you need to be cautious in how you exfoliate it. That’s why applying Vaseline with a soft bristled toothbrush will quickly and easily help you banish dead skin cells, revealing softer, more supple skin underneath. Exfoliate your lips no more than once a week. Keep your lips regularly moisturized by applying lip balm throughout the day. And always make sure to use an SPF-infused lip treatment, to prevent sunburn or skin damage.

Beauty Secret # 2: How To Make Your Lipstick Stay On

There’s nothing like applying your favorite lipstick to brighten your face and make you feel complete. But, how frustrating is it when our perfectly-applied lipstick starts rubbing off onto everything we touch? There are two beauty secrets for making your lipstick stay on. First, line and fill your lips with a clear lip primer. This gives your lipstick a surface to stick onto, and also prevents the lip color from bleeding into the lines around your mouth. After you’ve applied lip liner, lightly dust loose translucent powder over your lips. This helps to set the liner, preparing it for your lipstick application.

Beauty Secret # 3: How To Help Your Blowout Last Longer

After you’ve either spent considerable money getting your hair professionally blowed-out at a salon, or spent significant time and effort blowing-out your locks at home, you want to help your blowout last longer. There are two beauty secrets to helping your blowout last longer. The day after you wash your hair, lightly spray a dry shampoo into the roots of your hair, making sure to thoroughly brush it through so that no trace of dry shampoo is visible. This not only absorbs extra oil in your roots (making your hair look fresh and clean), it also helps add volume to your hairstyle. The second beauty secret is to sleep on a satin pillowcase at night. This helps prevent roughing and damaging of your hair, which leads to that dreaded bed-head look the next day (and creates breakage and split ends over time).

Beauty Secret # 4: How To Reduce Puffy, Red Eyes

Waking up early in the morning usually means two things – you’re tired and groggy, and you inevitably have puffy, red eyes. The beauty secrets for reducing the look of puffy, red eyes is quite simple. First, use eyedrops to instantly eliminate redness and add moisture back into your eyes. Second, lightly dab a small amount of hemorrhoid cream around your eyes (making sure not to get any product in your eyes). This will help reduce puffiness around your eyes. Third, apply an ice pack to your eyes to help reduce swelling and inflammation.

Beauty Secret # 5: How To Make Your Teeth Look Whiter Instantly

We all love coffee and tea, but the downside is they create stains on your teeth. For the moments when you haven’t had time to properly whiten your teeth, the beauty secrete to making your teeth look whiter instantly is to apply a blue-based red lipstick. The blue undertones in the lip color contrast with your teeth, making them appear whiter.
