Drink more water! Staying hydrated not only clears skin but also makes your body feel better overall.

Use tan or a light color eye shadow on the inside corner of your eyelids, and use a darker color eye shadow on the outside crease of your eyelid. It makes your eyes look larger. Skin care tip: Use a face lotion with SPF.
Miss Arizona, Aubrey Sibley
For the best makeup remover, use Pond's cold cream.
Miss Arkansas, Eudora Mosby
Beauty, true beauty starts from the inside and radiates out. So, as women it is our job to cultivate the beauty of our inner woman by taking time to think, prioritize and meditate.
Miss California, Dustin-Leigh Konzelman
When I don't have much time, but want to look put together, I pull my hair back into a low pony tail, smooth it completely and finish with a shine spray all over. It looks glamorous and it only takes a minute!
Miss Colorado, Jessica Urban
Use satin or silk pillowcases to sleep on even when you travel. It helps to eliminate frizzies!
Miss Connecticut, Dianna M. Baitinger
I always use velcro rollers when I am done blow drying to give my hair shape and movement. Use the largest rollers you can find on the top and front of your head, and work your way back with a medium-sized roller. Spray with hairspray and quickly blow dry. Once the rollers have cooled, pull them out and, viola! Movie star hair!
Miss Delaware, Becky Bledsoe
Lightly heating your eyelash curler with a hair dryer is a great way to make your eyelash curl last. Just make sure you test the curler before using it so you don't burn your skin!
Miss District of Columbia, Shannon Schambeau
Use a green concealer to hide redness.
Miss Florida, Mari Frances Wilensky
I believe that with makeup, less is more! But one thing I think is a great tip. Put a dab of white concealer on the middle of your bottom lip after you apply your lipstick. This will give the effect of having fuller lips.
Miss Georgia, Monica Pang
For under eye-circles and puffiness, steep chamomile tea bags. Drain them, freeze them and place them on your eyes for 15-20 minutes. You can refreeze the tea bags and use them several times.

To make one's eyelashes full of volume, first apply two coats of CoverGirl's Fantastic Lash mascara. Then reinforce the curl by using a finger to hold lashes in desired place for three seconds.
Miss Indiana, Susan Guilkey
Use eye primer before applying eye makeup. It helps to keep eye shadow in place all day. I like Eye Basics by Laura Mercier cosmetics. You can also use it as an eye shadow or by itself. It comes in six different colors. The most popular color is wheat because it is so versatile.
Miss Iowa, Kay Pauszek
Apply blush to the apple of your cheeks for a healthy glow. Or, pull back hair in a bun in order to help preserve the body or curl in hair, and once you make it to your destination (workplace, party, or out of the rain), take out your bun and your hair is full of body!
Miss Kansas, Adrienne Rosel
I swear by my three-step face wash, by Artistry. I used to have terrible acne, so I washed my face ALL the time. To my surprise, I discovered the problem was my face was too dry, which in turn was causing my breakouts. My face was working overtime to produce moisture, and instead it was clogging my pores. Moral of the story ... use moisturizer!
Miss Kentucky, Kerri Mitchell
My favorite beauty tip is simple. Smile!

Lip gloss will make your lips look fuller by reflecting light, and SMILE. People are attracted to those who are happy.

Add a dab of lip gloss to the center of your bottom lip to create the illusion of a fuller pout. (Works like a charm!)

Spray fingertips with hairspray, and then run fingers through the section of hair that needs the hold. This reduces the stiff, dry look and assures the hairspray is used where it's intended.
Miss Oklahoma, Jennifer Berry
I love to have that fresh, dewy look to my makeup. After I have finished putting on all of my makeup, I dab a damp cotton ball across my cheeks to get a more natural finish.
Miss Oregon, Lucy Fleck
To reduce puffiness under sleepy eyes, apply a small amount of Preparation H creme.
Miss Pennsylvania, Nicole Marie Brewer
When using eye shadow, take a light and dark shade of the same color. Apply the lighter shade on the inside of the eyelid and slowly blend in the darker shade as you work your way toward the outer edge of the lid. For a hair care tip: Condition, condition, condition! (Keep in mind that dry hair needs more product for a longer period of time while oily hair needs minimal product for a shorter period of time.)
Miss Rhode Island, Jessica D. Samson
I was with my mom and a few of my girlfriends at the beach one day when someone accidentally spilled some Coca-Cola (or Pepsi, whichever you prefer!) on their stomach and rubbed it in! We soon found out that when you mix cola with your suntan lotion, you will experience a beautiful golden brown suntan! So whenever you're at the beach, and you have some cola handy, mix it with your suntan lotion for a great tan enhancer. I should patent this formula!
Miss South Carolina, Erika Grace Powell
If applying makeup with your fingers, use your ring finger to avoid creating future lines and wrinkles.
Miss South Dakota, Nichole Renae Grandpre
Not too long ago, I just learned how to do my own makeup, so I am no expert, but I learned a few things from one who is. If you have yellow tones in your skin as I do, she showed me that a light pink eye shadow is the best base shade to bring out your eyes.
Miss Tennessee, Tara Burns
I try to drink two or three liters of water every day. Drinking water has countless benefits. It keeps our bodies and skin hydrated, it gives us energy and it flushes toxins so we stay healthy!

Always wash off your makeup before you sleep!!!!
Miss Virgin Islands, Allison Bourne-Vanneck
Always apply chapstick before lip gloss or lipstick.
Miss Virginia, Kristi Lauren Glakas
Foundation and makeup aren't one size fits all. You should learn how to match your skin. When foundation is seamless and natural, it's the perfect canvas. Otherwise, you're just covering up your face. Also, floss. It's odd to include in beauty tips, but it makes a marked difference in your smile.
Miss Washington, Tina Marie Mares
The eyes are the window to your soul. Therefore, always make sure to have well-shaped eyebrows, and don't be afraid to darken them when needed. Doing so not only frames your eyes but enhances your entire face as well.
Miss West Virginia, Kimberly Goodwin
I think it's very important to use a great moisturizer before you apply any makeup. It helps to apply your makeup more smoothly and evenly. Another great tip is to use a pressed powder on your eyelids before applying any eye shadow so that your shadow stays put without creasing!
Miss Wisconsin, Tracy Ann Gest
Want to extend the life of your foundation and cut down on heavy concealer? Mix a drop of it with your natural moisturizer to create a luminescent look for your skin.
