One such beauty product that’s effective and super simple to DIY is the facial mask. Whether it comes in mask or peel form, the facial mask is a quick way to rectify any skin type. You just have to know what to look for!

Well, that’s where we come in. Check out our tips for the best type of facial mask for different skin types, then click on the slideshow to see some of our favorites!

Normal Skin – This is a simple one! For you, a facial mask should just be for maintenance and prevention. Look for moisturizing face masks chock full of vitamin C or anti-oxidants. Apply a face mask once every 2 weeks.

Oily Skin – Look for a clay mask or a facial peel that will mattify and control shine. Steer clear of anything that’s super moisturizing as this can lead to even more shine. Try a mask once a week for optimum results!

Dry Skin – A facial mask once a week can do wonders for dry skin. Look for options that have vitamin E and are highly moisturizing. A quick tip for a little added hydration? Smooth on a dime sized amount of night cream after your done with the facial mask!

But why not switch it up a little and give your look a makeup makeover? It’s not just fun to spice things up and try out a new look, but you may be surprised with all the compliments you get!

When it comes to beauty, it’s all about looking your best; When it comes to mornings, it’s all about the quickest and easiest ways to save time. We were inspired by backstage beauty at fashion shows and narrowed down three must-try beauty looks that are fast, simple and perfect for day!

The Bold Lip – There’s so many bold lip colors in style right now – Cherry red, hot pink, orange-red – and it’s such an easy trend to try!

Let the bold lips take center stage and keep the rest of your makeup simple with just mascara or a thin line of eyeliner and a touch of bronzer. Then using a freshly sharpened lip liner, carefully line the outside of your lips. Fill in with your desired color, blot and go!

For extra shine, add a coat of clear gloss.

Vibrant Eyes – Beauty is all about balance. Play up your eyes and tone down the rest of your makeup to make them really pop.

Choose a vibrant shadow or shadow palette. We love teal or violet. The sweep over you lids, with the lighter color first and the darker shade in the crease.

Add a thin line of eyeliner and finish with a layer or two of volumizing mascara. Complete the look with a nude or peach lip and a touch of blush at the apple of your cheeks.

Bare-Faced Beauty – There’s an art to making it look like you have no makeup on when you do. Start of with a tinted moisturizer and a little cream blush to give your skin a dewy look.

Using an eyeshadow that’s a shade or two darker than your skin tone, sweep across your lid and blend. Line your lids with a thin line of eyeliner and a few coats of lengthening and defining mascara.

Fill in your brows lightly if needed and finish the look off with a peachy pink lipstick or gloss. Fin.

With a little product and texture, the ponytail can be just as easily dressed up and be the perfect style for any occasion!

From jeans and weekend shopping sprees with your sisters to stilettos and Happy Hour drinks, we’ve got three ponytail styles that are easy to do and flattering on all!

Dip-Dyed Hair – This hair trend allows you to really have some fun without doing anything too drastic. Simply choose a color that you want (try a few shades lighter than your hair color for a subtle look, or go for a head turning hue like red or blue for Fourth of July!). Simply section your hair into three parts and tie your hair off with an elastic to the point where you want the dyed color to stop. Brush the hair dye paste onto the ends and let it sit for 20 mins. (times vary be dye). Rinse and voila!

Two-Tone French Manicure – French manicures are always a classic, but punch it up for summer by picking bright hues! A white base with red and blue tips are great for Independence Day, or try out a neon combo for an even more electrifying look! Paint 2 coats of the chosen base color onto your nails, allowing ample time to dry (this beauty tip works best when the base color is lighter than the tip). Using nail tape, or just a very steady hand, paint an even strip of the second color across the tip of your nails. Repeat for a more saturated color then finish with a shiny top coat when dry!

Boldly Colored Eye-Liner – When it’s hot out, the last thing you want is heavy makeup that can clog pores or melt in the summer heat. But that doesn’t mean you have to go bare! Simple line your upper and lower lids with a vibrantly colored eyeliner and finish off with a light coat of waterproof mascara. This beauty tip is guaranteed to be eye-catching (pun intended)! We’re loving teal, violet and … for the truly bold … deep orange!
