To look spectacular, it is not at all necessary to spend hours in front of a mirror or spend a lot of money. Sometimes just a few little tricks can save you tons of time and earn your reputation as a makeup guru.
We have collected for you the secrets of professionals and amateurs that will definitely make your life easier in the pursuit of beauty.
10. Achieve a gel eyeliner effect from a pencil
To achieve a perfect thin and even line from a classic eyeliner, you can melt the tip of the pencil with a match or a lighter. This trick will allow you to achieve a gel texture and can help out in a situation where the eyeliner of the desired shade is not at hand or it treacherously dried up at the most inopportune moment.
9. Budget bronzer for the body
Get radiant skin, like the models at the Victoria's Secret shows, without resorting to expensive oils and shimmers for the body. If you have unwanted golden shadows or a favorite but broken bronzer, give them a second life by simply mixing them with any baby oil spray.
8. Powder between layers of mascara for volume
To achieve additional volume of eyelashes, you can use regular face powder. After you have applied the first coat of mascara, use a brush or cotton swab to apply a thin layer of powder to the eyelashes, and then cover them with a second coat of mascara.
7. Curl your eyelashes and line your eyes with one hand
If you use an eyelash curler, then following the advice of the famous British makeup artist Wayne Goss, you can significantly save time during your morning beauty ritual. Just line the base of the tool with a pencil or eyeliner and it will imprint itself on the roots of your lashes as you curl them.
6. Create the effect of thick eyebrows
To achieve the effect of thick eyebrows, you can use a little trick from makeup artists. When you style your brows with colored brow gel or brow wax, press the brow hairs into your skin immediately after application, without waiting for the product to dry. The dyed hairs will imprint on the skin and create a natural extra volume.
5. Eye drops for acne and redness on the skin
Simple eye drops can save you from an insidious pimple that popped up at the most inopportune moment. Just as they help to get rid of the redness of the eyes by constricting the capillaries, this SOS remedy will help to temporarily reduce redness from inflammation on the skin.
4. Enhance lips with a face sculptor
To make lips visually plumper, you can use a face sculptor and a thin brush. A trick often used to red carpet star makeup is to create extra volume by painting a shadow under the lower and above the upper lip. Stepping back 2-3 mm, draw a very thin line where indicated on the diagram, and for greater effect, add a highlighter along the contour of the upper lip.
3. Transparent foundation powder
This non-standard technique will help increase the durability of makeup, and also make the coverage of the foundation more dense, but without the effect of a mask on the face. This method of application is often used for makeup of brides, because a wedding is a real test of makeup for durability.
2. Perfect arrows with a wet wipe
If you still can’t conquer the ill-fated shooters, then this trick is for you. Do your eye makeup before applying foundation to your face, and then with the help of a regular make-up remover wipe, you can easily achieve the perfect arrow shape.
1. Clean makeup sponges in 1 minute
You can clean almost any makeup sponge in just 1 minute without any extra effort. Simply place them in a bowl of water and any detergent and microwave for 1 minute. Then the magic of microwaves will do its job, and you just have to rinse the sponges with water.
