Keep Hair in Place With a No-Slip Trick Beauty Tip: Spritz dry shampoo on bobby pins

There is nothing worse than creating the perfect updo, only for it to unravel because your bobby pins can't put in the work (we're looking at you, overly stretched bobbies). The solution? Spritz your bobby pins with dry shampoo. "The problem with clean hair is you get stuck with shiny, sleek hair and metal pins can slip right out," Townsend says. "Applying a dry shampoo to the metal pin will add powder and starch to it, so it gives hair that really good friction for a quality hold."

For pregnant ladies or women who are trying to have a baby, plase be careful with retinoids! It can induce congenital malformations. Dont believe me? Google it. Better yet, look for medical journals concerning topical retinoids and pregnancy :-)

I never use primer, i find when I do that my make up feels heavy and easy to rub off my face if I bump it. But I do have oily skin too.

I liked the advice on the moisturizer. I have always rubbed it on my face instead of just dabbing it on. I will use this helpful tip and see if it is more effective.
