Makeup can be a game-changer, but knowing the right tricks can elevate your beauty routine effortlessly. Here are some top makeup hacks that every beauty lover should try for flawless results.
1. Use a Spoon for the Perfect Winged Liner
Struggle with winged eyeliner? Use a spoon as a guide! Place the handle along the outer corner of your eye to draw a straight line, then use the curved edge to perfect the wing.
2. Foundation First, Then Concealer
Applying foundation before concealer helps even out your skin tone, reducing the amount of concealer needed. This prevents a cakey look and ensures a natural finish.
3. Make Lipstick Last Longer
For long-lasting lipstick, apply one layer, blot with a tissue, dust translucent powder over it, then apply a second layer. This trick keeps your lips looking fresh for hours.
4. Set Your Brows with Soap
For a natural, feathered brow look, use a clean spoolie brush with a bit of clear soap instead of brow gel. This trick keeps your brows in place all day.
5. Apply Highlighter Strategically
Enhance your features by applying highlighter on the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bones, the tip of your nose, and your cupid’s bow. This creates a radiant glow.
6. Warm Up Your Eyelash Curler
For a longer-lasting curl, warm up your eyelash curler with a blow dryer for a few seconds before using it. Be sure to test the temperature on your hand first to avoid burns.
7. Use White Eyeliner to Make Eyes Pop
Applying white or nude eyeliner on your waterline makes your eyes look bigger and brighter instantly. It’s a simple trick for a fresh and awake appearance.
8. Revive Dried Mascara with Eye Drops
Don’t toss out dried mascara just yet! Add a couple of eye drops into the tube and shake it well to bring it back to life.
9. Turn Any Eyeshadow into a Liner
Dip an angled brush in setting spray and use it with any eyeshadow to create a custom eyeliner shade. This trick expands your eyeliner options without extra products.
10. Fix Makeup Mistakes with Micellar Water
Dab a cotton swab in micellar water to clean up eyeliner smudges or sharpen your makeup lines effortlessly.
