DIY Sugar Glitter Nails! We listed our favorite non-toxic Halloween makeup must-haves , but if you're really looking for a sparkling impact it's time to turn to the kitchen. Whether you're bedazzling your brows with adhesive or accessorizing your fairy costume with the perfect sparkling manicure, it's surprisingly easy to DIY glitter on your own using sugar, spice, and everything nice. DIY NON-TOXIC GLITTER RECIPE   Ingredients: 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon liquid food coloring Directions: Preheat the oven at 350°F on bake. Mix together the sugar and food coloring.

DIY Lip Scrub That’s Good Enough to Eat!  Has winter left you with Freddy Krueger lips? Ugh, me too. So when my chapstick wasn’t cutting it, I took the opportunity to mix DIY lip scrub. A scrub helps gently remove dead skin and freshen your lips so you can reboot your pout. I didn’t even have to go shopping—everything I needed was in my pantry or medicine cabinet!

Beauty Basics: How to Apply False Lashes   Have you ever spent hours in front of the mirror trying to apply fake eyelashes, only to end up with them sticking out at strange angles, or—worse—fall off completely after a few hours? Because falsies are tricky to master, we tapped Los Angeles–based makeup artist Gia Brascia  to show us her tried-and-true application (and removal) tips. For the tutorial, we used  Kevyn Aucoin The Lash Collection in Starlett .  1: Before you do anything else, measure the length of the lash to make sure it fits your eye shape.

That’s the best way to take out the straightness and ensure it molds to our curved eye shape and...
