Applying cuticle oil and a good hand cream before bed, followed by a thin layer of Aquaphor, has been a game-changer for me. When I’m not too lazy, I do the same for my feet (minus the Aquaphor). My hands tend to get dry and cracked, especially in winter, but this routine makes a huge difference. It also strengthens my nails, making them less prone to breaking.
Laser hair removal was a game-changer for me. I have lighter skin and darker hair, which was quite noticeable on my face and lower back as dark peach fuzz. Even after shaving, the dark hair follicles on my legs were still visible.
Bangs/fringe can be a bit annoying at times, but they really suit me and make my head look less long, haha.
One thing that blew my mind is that you don’t have to wash your whole head—you can just wash and style your bangs! 
I’ve got an appointment booked for the 14th and I can’t wait!
Waterproof mascara, keeping my natural hair healthy, and using top waterline eyeliner to tighten my eye line.
Switching to longer stiletto nails has been a great choice for me, as they suit my hand shape and angular features much better than shorter, softer shapes.
I also discovered that gold works as a neutral for me. I can use a dark, non-sparkly gold shade as eyeliner, and it looks soft, flattering, and surprisingly low-key. Many colors appear too bright or jarring, but gold always blends in perfectly. It was getting a bit boring sticking to black, brown, and taupe.
Ooh, what dark gold shade do you use? I have green eyes, so that sounds really promising!
My two favorites are from old, discontinued palettes (an Estée Lauder and a Dior), but on my light/medium olive skin with dark hair and brows, a dirty, muted “old gold” works perfectly as a substitute for medium brown or deep taupe. The dark gold shades that blend best on me often look kind of unattractive in the pan—if that makes sense. Anything too saturated or “clean” doesn’t harmonize as well.
I use shadows with a wet brush as liner, so you might already have something in your collection that will work. I also like pressing shadows into wet liquid or fresh pencil liner to achieve a nice, velvety color.
