Apply perfume on pulse points like wrists, behind the ears, and at the neck for long-lasting scent. These spots emit warmth, helping the fragrance last longer.

Well-groomed brows frame your face beautifully. Filling in sparse areas with a brow pencil adds structure and can make your features look more defined.

9. Set Lipstick with Translucent Powder
After applying lipstick, dab a little translucent powder on top for longer wear. It locks the color in place and helps prevent smudging.

Applying moisturizer on damp skin helps lock in moisture better than on dry skin. It keeps skin hydrated and gives a healthy, supple feel.
11. Use a Silk Pillowcase for Healthier Skin and Hair
Silk pillowcases reduce friction, helping prevent wrinkles and hair breakage. They’re gentle on your skin and hair, making your beauty sleep even more effective.
