Toccara and Tyra’s Beauty Secrets
Toccara from “America’s Next Top Model” and Tyra share their top beauty secrets and must have items!
TOCCARA’S LIST
1. Bobby Pins: I don’t leave the house without a bobby pin in my hair. If my track (hair extension) comes loose, I can keep it in place with one pin. I can even channel my inner Inspector Gadget and use it as a tool to clean under my nails!
2. Dark Lip Liner: I have small bird lips, so the liner makes my lips look fuller and, added bonus, the dark color makes your teeth look whiter.
3. Oily Body Bronzer: I use an oily based bronzer on my legs to hide scars from childhood and to keep my thighs from sticking together when I walk.
4. Bronzer: if you’re wearing a low cut top, enhance the look of your cleavage by placing bronzer on the part of your chest that is exposed.
5. Quick Way to Find Jeans that Fit: I hate going into dressing rooms to try on clothing. An easy way to find out if a pair of jeans will fit around your waist is to put them around your neck. Hold the jeans around your neck and if the two ends of the waist meet, you’ll be able to button them once you actually put them on. I swear it works – try it and you’ll be surprised!
TYRA’S LIST
1. Concealer: I have dark circles under my eyes, it runs in my family, so concealer is a must. Use it to hide any of your imperfections.
2. Red Lipstick: I do anything I can to get away with not wearing makeup! I find that if I wear a bright red lipstick, people look at the lips and won’t notice the rest of the face…like the dark circles under my eyes!
3. Big Earrings: wear something on the ears and that will be the first thing that people notice. They’ll also add some bling and sparkle to your face.
4. Sunglasses: the number one way to help if you look tore up from the floor up!
FIVE BONUS BEAUTY SECRETS!!
1. Keep It Clean: always wash your face before you go to sleep! Don’t go to bed in your makeup, or you’re likely to wake up with a break out.
2. Great Foundation: try using a tinted moisturizer with sunblock instead of a heavy foundation. Tinted moisturizers can help to protect your skin from the elements, but they also help to cover blemishes and smooth out overall skin tone. Finish by lightly dusting with a powder for a healthy, flawless look. If you must use foundation, apply an oil-free sunblock first and your foundation will stay put! To add a healthy looking, luminescent glow to your skin, use a cream shimmer stick.
3. Support: get fitted properly for a great bra. Say “no” to guessing games and go straight to the pros who will measure you and tell you your exact size – for free! Then, marvel at what a difference wearing the correct bra size makes when you try on almost any outfit!
4. H2O: drink lots of water! Keeping your body hydrated is the #1 way to a more beautiful you – inside and out!
5. Budget: set a beauty budget and stick with it. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to look great! When shopping, use the buddy system and bring a friend so you can get some honest feedback about what you’re trying on and how you look. Mix and match brands to stay within your budget.

Dear Tyra,
I'm a sophomore in high school. And i'm only 5'1" and i'm fine with my height. But i look like a freshmen. And i feel like some people don't want to talk to me because of it. Are there ways to make myself look older or taller?

Hi Tyra, Greetings from Barbados. I am totaly in love with your show, it is a great inspiration to me. I tried the beauty secrets and some of them work for me, I also tried the vaseline under my eyes and love the results. Any way I have a problem and I am hoping that another of your beauty secrets can be shared to help me with it. I have facial hair under my chin which I tweeze,but leaves a lot of hair bumps and leaves my chin looking uguly. I tried using dialuted bleach which a Dr. told my brother would help, and sometimes it does but not most of the time, the dr. also told my brother sperm helps but I don't want to use that, it just sounds groos(lol). I have seen women with unsightly hair bumps like men all around their chins and face including the ingrown hair, and I am really worried that it happens to me, because the hair keeps spreading more and more each time I tweeze them. Please help.

Hi Tyra,
First I would like to say I love your show. My question is everytime I put on black eyeliner, after a while my eye liner drains and I look like I have a black eye. What should I do because I don't want to stop wearing eye liner?

Hi Tyra, I need your help! I was wondering if you could tell me the best make-up brushes to buy. I know that M.A.C. has great brushes but do i really have to pay $30-$40 for good brushes? I am not too sure and I know that you are the queen of cheap so I thought that you could help me with this!! Thanks in advance, Tyra.

hey Tyra. I'm 16 years old and just recently started watching your show and I love it. You one of the most inspiring women I know of. You are a great role model for me. I have read a lot of stuff on here about dark circles it seems like almost every girl or women suffers with this. I know my mom has this too. My mom is beautiful to me and I love her very much. She is a great person and alway's sacrificed things for me. Like i'm a cheerleader and no matter what her schedule is she always tries her best to get me to practice. My mom has done a wonderful job of raising me and giving me a roof over my head. I think it is time she has got something back in return. Is there any contest for makeovers or do you pick people for them. I know it is highly unlikely, b/c there is probably a lot more people who deserve or needs this more. But it would be nice to give my mom a makeover.
