We live in extraordinary times since practical wisdom and countless life hacks are just a few clicks away. It is a reassuring thought that someone, somewhere already made a video about whatever may concern us, especially if it is about the confusing world of beauty trends. Fortunately, there are plenty of people online who can guide you through the jungle of beauty products and offer valuable tutorials on how to achieve the certain look or how to become a skillful makeup artist yourself. Becoming skillful takes time and practice, but here are few great tips from various vloggers that will help you save precious time and master the art of looking impeccable.
One more way to use mascara
Everyone uses mascara to make the lashes look longer and thicker, but this mascara trick will make your eyes pop like never before. Curl the lashes and apply one or two coats of mascara normally, only make sure to apply extra on outer tips. Next, dip the wand in the mascara tube and press the wand against the lash roots. It may seem messy at the start, but after a couple of mascara stamping moves, you’ll get the idea.
Lip lining trick
Applying lip liner and defining Cupid’s bow usually takes several attempts to make it perfect. Not anymore. Use a slightly darker shade of lip liner to draw an X letter on your upper lip. Use X as a guide for applying lipstick and enjoy this time-saving technique for creating perfect lip line.
Improve your concealer
Mix the concealer with your favorite eye cream on the back of your hand. Blend it and apply with a sponge. The eye cream will act as a moisturizer and will nourish the skin while the concealer will perfectly cover your skin without settling in the lines.
Make your eyes bigger with false lashes
Place quality lashes starting from the midpoint of the lid toward the outer corner of the eye. The right choice of lashes, application, and proper positioning assumes skill and experience, but lash specialists in Beautifeyes offer training courses that can help you learn different techniques and perhaps kick off a new career.
A touch of Vaseline to keep your makeup in place
To prevent your perfect smokey-eye makeup coming down on your lower lids, making you look like a hangover panda, use a bit of Vaseline and a cotton swab to smudge the eyeliner. If you know it is going to be a long night, make sure your makeup stays and keep in mind that it works with glitter too. If you don’t have Vaseline, you can use any eye gloss to achieve the same effect.
Intensify the color of eyeshadow
The trouble with eyeshadows is that they rarely stand out unless being blended, smudged and reapplied. Instead of applying multiple layers of eyeshadow, use white eyeliner and apply it all over the upper eyelid. After that, use the eyeshadow and see the difference. White color beneath the shadow will dramatically intensify the color on your lids.
Hashtag smokey eyes
Great hack for those in a hurry or those still unable to master the art of blending two or more shadows. Use eyeliner to draw hashtag sign on the outer corner of the eye. The lines do not have to be perfect as long as you draw them symmetrically on both eyes. Use smudger to blend it and get a smokey look in a few seconds. However, keep in mind that eyeliner is a thick product that can irritate sensitive skin so learn how to use eyeshadows.
Lipstick is for lips, not teeth
To prevent lipstick ending up on your teeth, once you have lined your lips and applied lipstick, put a finger in your mouth. Close mouth around the finger and slowly pull it out. You will notice a coat of lipstick on your finger that would normally get on your teeth. Do this every time, especially if you like wearing darker shades of lipstick.
