I've gotten some great beauty tips and advice over the years from friends, family, and makeup artists.

One of my favorite tidbits was a trick on how to tame unruly eyebrows. If you take an eyebrow brush, spritz a tiny bit of hairspray on it, then brush your eyebrows, they will stay in place. A makeup artist told me that one.
