Achieving the perfect make-up does not have to be complicated or time-consuming. With these handy tips and tricks, you’ll never feel frustrated in front of the mirror again. Whether you’re wondering how to nail the perfect cat’s eye or let your lipstick work longer, here’s the best advice. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, with these helpful tips you can certainly learn a thing or two.
1. Using a Spoon to Easily Apply Mascara
Every woman had the pain of getting rid of her eye make-up just to notice that she somehow has mascara on her eyelids. Well, thanks to this hack you can finally eliminate this annoying problem. All you need is a spoon from your kitchen, and you’ll soon have the perfect mascara. Just place the end of the spoon under your eyelashes before applying your mascara as usual. Now all the residues or excess products end up on the back of the spoon and not on your face.
2. Never Put Concealer on Your Eyelids
Although you may be tempted to apply Concealer or Foundation on your eyelids, you should always refrain from doing so. While using concealer under your eyes, you can mask dark circles and bags. Applying to your eyelids can ruin your eye makeup by forming wrinkles.
3. Using Tape or Spoon for Cat Eye Look
Creating the perfect cat-eye look with eyeliner can be difficult. Not only is it difficult to find the ideal movie and form, but you also need to match each page. Use a spoon or tape to easily find the perfect cat movie. Start by pulling a straight line from the outer corner of your eye along the edge of the spoon. Then trace the curved edge from the end of your strip back to your eyelashes and fill in the wing.
4. Shape Your Eyebrows
The shaping of your eyebrows does not have to be difficult. Just follow these steps. Begin by brushing your eyebrows with a spoolie so that the hair naturally sits. Then use a soft, waxy brow pin to sculpt the outside of your forehead with the thinner side of the tip. Fill your brows with the shallower angle of the pen with short, hairy strokes. Finally, mix some highlighter right below your brow bone to lift it.
5. Heating Up Eyelash Curler
If you find that your eyelashes curl up in a normal manner for a short time, try warming the curler before use. Just as your curling iron helps keep your hair in shape during heat, so can your eyelash curler. Just use your hair dryer to hit your eyelash curler with a hot blast of air. Allow to cool slightly after heating so you do not burn your eyelids. Then clamp your eyelashes as usual.
6. Match Lip Colour with Cheeks
Matching your lip color with your cheeks creates a beautiful, coordinated and natural look. To achieve the look without a product for two purposes, you can easily turn your favorite lipstick into a cream. Just apply something to the back of your hand before running your finger over your cheeks.
7. DIY Gel Eyeliner
If you ever desperately need a gel eyeliner and do not have time to run into the stores, you can create your own. All you need is a regular kohl pencil and a lighter or match. Hold the pin under the flame for one second before allowing it to cool for 15 seconds. The consistency of the pencil changes before your eyes as it is softer and easier to apply. Your new smeared gel eyeliner should now glide easily and smoothly on your eyes.
8. Quick Smokey Eye
While many Smokey Eye looks require different shades of eyeshadow and a lot of blending, there is a quick and easy alternative. Just use an eye pencil to draw a weird hashtag over the outer corner of your eye and mix it with a stain. When you do so, a murderous, smoky eye is instantly created that is dark and bright in the right places.
9. Make Your Lipstick Last Longer
Whether it’s a wine glass or your husband’s cheek, the lipstick has a knack for landing anywhere except on your lips. If you find that yours disappears before the end of the day, try applying this practical trick to extend your life. After wiping, place a tissue over your lips and dust off with translucent powder. In this way, you can enhance your color and instantly make it last longer.
