5 Beauty Hacks You Should Know
We all love makeup, but we also love sleep, so what’s better than learning a few hacks that can save us time in the morning?
1) All girls have a love/hate relationship with eyeliner because one wing always looks better than the other. To ensure your eyeliner wings look exactly alike: line a piece of tape from the corner of your eye out. It doesn’t matter if you get eyeliner on the tape because you can remove it when you’re done. Once you finish applying, remove the tape to reveal the perfect wing.
2) We all have those disgusting under-eye bags that we just want to hide. To cancel out dark circles apply a salmon/red concealer under your eyes, then blend. This removes the baby look. Then apply a lighter shade concealer on top to make you look fresh and awake. It can completely change your makeup look and will make you feel great.
3) Do you have split ends in your hair? Instead of wasting money for a trim, do it yourself. Grab a section of hair and twirl it between your fingers. The hairs that aren’t in the twist are the split ends, so take a pair of scissors and cut them off. With this step you hair should look clean and replenished.
4) Concealer always creases and runs throughout the day which is so annoying. To prevent creasing, take a loose translucent powder and pack this in the places that have concealer. You want to pack it heavily and leave it there for 10 minutes. This will ensure that your concealer doesn’t run and gives you that flawless finished look.
5) We all love those bold eyelashes, but sadly product always gets on your eyelid. To avoid this use an index card and stick it behind your eyelashes as you comb through them. Mascara will not get on your eyelids and your makeup looks way better.
