OK, here are some things you can do:
Sign on to any blog link exchanges you can. If you follow a blog you like, check their link pages to see if they take submissions.
Comment on blogs. Don't leave your URL unless they state they allow it.
Participating in forums with your link in your signature. It doesn't have to be makeup related, though obviously you get more interest in beauty and makeup forums.
Social Networking (Facebook, Twitter). Great way to get traffic.
Contests can get you traffic, but really are not the greatest way IMO. I do notice an increase around giveaways, but nothing dramatic. It's not worth doing one just to generate traffic.
