10 Makeup Tricks Nobody Told You About!!!!!

Knowledge is power. Especially when it comes to makeup. Sometimes you don’t need fancy tools and products to look flawless. Here are 10 makeup tricks nobody probably told you about to instantly make your makeup routine easier.

Makeup Trick #1: Disguise Under Eye Bags

Most of us tend to just sweep a layer of concealer to the entire under eye area, but to really conceal bags, it’s best to highlight the crease and then apply a darker shade to the actual puffy area.

 

Makeup Trick #2: Use Eye Highlights Wisely

Many women use a highlighter on eyes but apply it last. Apply your lightest colors first, and then move on to your darker shades to make the most out of light and shade play that will accentuate your eyes perfectly.

Makeup Trick #3: Make the Most out of Your Mascara

This one you may have heard or seen online before. Mascara tends to dry out fast because of frequent use. Good mascara can be an investment, so make the most out of it by adding a drop or two of Visine or any other eye drops and rub the wand around inside. All of a sudden your tube is like new!

Makeup Trick #4: Make Your Eyes Instantly Bigger

It’s logical to use white to visually enlarge a portion of your face and dark makeup colors to visually narrow something (simple basics of  contouring). When it comes to your eyes, simply line your water line with a white pencil instead of commonly used black eye liner for instantly bigger eyes.

Makeup Trick #5: What Is Tightlining?

It’s a way of applying your liner right in between your lashes. This is a great way to appear as though you’re not wearing any makeup at all, yet adding a little bit of color and definition to your eyes. Use tightlining for effortless, natural day time looks.

Makeup Trick #6: Lash Curling Secrets

Get the most out of your lash curler by pinching at the very base of your lashes, and then lifting the curler up into an inverted position. This creates double the curl and lasts much longer!
Bonus tip: you can also heat your lash curler with a blow dryer for 3-5 seconds to get an effect of a curling iron.

Makeup Trick #7: Get an Instant Eye Lift

All you need is a little bit of matte light pink pencil. Sweep it across the entire length of your brow bone to create the illusion of a higher arch, and then blend, blend, blend until it’s undetectable.

Makeup Trick #8: Prevent Your Eyeliner from Running

Such an easy trick and so effective! Sweep a little of lose powder (I prefer translucent powders) right under your eyeliner to create an invisible barrier that will hold the liner in place.

Makeup Trick #9: Create 3-D Lips

You may know how to create a 3-D lip effect using a bit of highlighter in the middle of your bottom lip. Now try using a frosted blush or eye shadow instead. It looks stunning!

Makeup Trick #10: Remove Blemishes Seamlessly

When blemishes and spots appear, there is nothing better than a concealer to cover them up. But applying it to the spot precisely, without a cakey looking result, may be tricky. Try covering blemishes using concealer on a thin eyeliner brush. Don’t just rub it on, apply it precisely to the spot and then blend out edges with a finger.
