So, you’re left wondering -what are you doing wrong

Well, applying makeup or styling hairisn’t always as easy as some TikTok influencers often make it seem. In fact, most celebrities out there spend fortunes just to maintain or improve their style. 

And while it may be impossible to match a celeb’s level of investment in their beauty, there area few things you can do to improve your skills and overall styling, makeup results

Curious?

If so, below are a fewWiseBarber tips that will bring you a step closer to mastering the arts of hairstyling and makeup application.

Invest in Quality Hairstyling Tools


Obviously, before you start working on your hair, you have toensure you have the right tools. Here, you have awide range of options to choose from

These tools include flat irons, blow dryers, curling irons, rollers, combs, heated brushes, and so on. 

However, having a lot of hairstyling devices available in the market has itspros and cons

On the plus side, it becomeseasier for you to find a tool/device that’s best-suited to style your hair. But, on the downside, you mayend up buying an inferior-quality item that’ll damage your hair instead. 

You don’t want that, do you?

If so, I’d recommend youdo ample research before buying a tool. You can start by going through a few comparison reviews; like this “Best Hair Straighteners” piece by WiseBarber. Why?

Because most of these reviews are usuallyan accurate representation of other users’ first-hand experience with these tools. And that helps you to paint a better picture of what to expect and how to get the most out of them. 

Remember, this tip applies to all hairstyling tools you intend on buying. 

Invest in the Right Kind of Styling and Skincare Products

     

    Now, the “Right Kind” of products are simply those thatimprove your hair and skin’s health, appearance. Note that not all products are usually safe to use. 

    Sadly, many ladies havelearned this the hard way. 

    While skincare and hair products can help you get that celebrity look you want – i.e. fairer skin and lush hair – they can also cause:

  1. Hair breakage and loss. 
  2. Skin irritation and rashes.
  3. Allergic reactions. 
  4. Skin discolorations. 
    • Follicular damage among other horrors. 

    Thus, you’d be very misguided to assume that cosmetic and hair styling products conform to theone-size-fits-allimpression. 

    Basically, person A’s hair and skincare routine may not give the same results for Person B. 

    And that’s why it’simportant to find quality (preferably, organic) products thatwork with your hair and skin types, instead of against them.  

    Ensure You Dressing Area is Set Up Properly

     

    First things first, any expert stylist will tell you that proper dressing mirror lighting plays an important role in any makeup and styling process. 

    With ample light, you’ll be ableto see clearly, style quickly, and spot any smudges/foundation imbalance in time. 

    Another thing to consider isorganization

    This means ensuring that your dressing mirror sitsclose to a power outlet. And that all thestyling necessities you need arean arms-length away from where you’ll be seated. 

    Doing so adds convenience and makes iteasy for you to style your hair and face without having to move around. Plus, it’sneaterthat way.
