When less is more 1) Makeup If you apply makeup with a heavy hand, you’ll look overdone and perhaps “cheap.” Besides, too much foundation and powder tends to accentuate fine lines and wrinkles; something we’d rather hide. 2) Haircut If you ever remember asking for a trim and walking out with a full-fledged haircut, you can relate to this one. You will only get your money’s worth if you choose a stylist that respects your wishes and follows directions precisely. 3) Eyebrows Over-plucking eyebrows is one beauty blunder that takes a long time to fix. Set your guide and pluck unwanted hairs with caution. Whatever the technique, it’s much easier to trim it down than grow in sparse areas. 4) Face Cream Slathering on moisturizing or anti-aging face cream too often is not beneficial. Most likely, you will end up with clogged pores and breakouts, which may cause permanent scarring. Of course, less is more and you’ll save money when you apply just enough on a damp face. 5) Acne Medications Similar to using face creams, too much of a good thing can cause a “rebound” effect. Use directions for acne medications as a general guide and customize to fit your own needs. 6) Hair Care Products If, while on the mission to combat frizz and mold your hair into the perfect hairstyle, you apply every styling product you can get your hands on, your hair will look heavy, dirty and lackluster. It’s best to stick with only two products -- and that includes hairspray. 7) Manicures and Pedicures Cutting fingernails and toenails too short not only hurts, it often leads to ingrown nails. Worse yet, is biting them to the nail bed. If you’re a do-it-yourself kind of gal, resist the urge to cut them too short. If you need to start anew, even them up to the shortest nail only if it’s of reasonable length. Otherwise, leave the others a little longer until the shorter one catches up. 10 Radikal Fashion and Entertainment Magazine www.radikalmagazine.com JANUARY 2013
