Facelift Hack with Concealer
For years, the best way to apply concealer under the eyes was to do so in a triangular shape. It may brighten the eye, but it can also look too heavy under the eye and too drastic in contrast with the foundation shade. Instead of doing this, apply your concealer in a diagonal shape from the lower lash line outwards. To create the illusion of a lifted face, apply concealer under your inner corner of the eye.
Cream Contour Before Foundation
You are truly missing out if you haven’t tried cream contour yet. You can define the facial structure accurately by applying a cream contour before applying a powder contour. After moisturizing and priming your skin, apply the contour cream and finish with a liquid foundation. Your skin will appear flawless and radiant.
Highlight Your Eyes With A Cream Pencil.
To set your makeup and highlight the finer points on your face, use a cream eyeliner under brows, on the tip of the nose, and the inner corners of your eyes before you apply powder. Cream pencils offer the best consistency for creating subtle, natural highlights on the face. They can also serve as bases for powder highlighters.
Lightliner For A Broader Eye Look.
Make your bottom waterline stand out by applying a light shade of liner that contrasts with your skin tone. Contrary to dark eyeliner on the waterline, white eyeliner produces the opposite effect. This trick gives the illusion of fuller and brighter eyes.
Pop Eyeshadow Over White Eyeliner.
Using this trick makes the eye shadow color pop. All you need to do is apply white eyeliner all over your eyelid. Follow this up with your favorite shadow. The white will help the shade stand out.
Smoky Eye Hack.
In the outer corner of each eye, draw a downward-slanted hashtag with your eyeliner. Ensure the hashtag blends in with the rest of your eye makeup. Without much effort, you can get that smoky look.
Hair Gel For Brows.
I like the soap brow look for creating fuller, more natural-looking brows. Those who are new to this trend may consider using a hair gel instead of soap. With the help of a Spooly and a tiny bit of product, your eyebrows will stay in place all day!
Perfect Your Cupid’s Bow.
Use your lip liner to draw an “X” on your upper lip (the same color as your lipstick). Use this X as a guide while applying your lipstick. That way, you’ll receive the perfect pout.
Nighttime Dry Shampoo.
Brush your hair with dry shampoo before bed. While you sleep, you move a lot, which helps shampoo integrate into your hair. Hence in the morning, your hair will feel volumized and full.
Fix French Manicures Using Rubber Bands.
The process is so simple, and it will save you from going to the nail salon again. Whenever you wrap a rubber band around your finger, it should be directly in line with the nail. Then, use some nail polish to cover up the uneven part of the nail.
Cut off the Split Ends.
If you already have split ends but are not ready to trim them, you can use this hack. All you need to do is twist a section of your hair. Then you can chop off any pieces of hair that are sticking out to prevent split ends.
Correct Perfume Wearing.
Make sure not to spray yourself with perfume. At first, you will smell like a perfume factory once you put on the scent, but after a while, it will fade. Instead, gently press it onto your pulse points.
Put Your Makeup On In Different Lighting.
Applying makeup can be difficult when the light is less than ideal. Before getting in the car, be sure your makeup is in good shape. Outside light will make it easier for you to see any spots you may have missed.
Hopefully, these hacks prove helpful to you and inspire you to strive for more. From now on, you’ll no longer have to spend hours perfecting your makeup.
