We have filtered through those makeup tips and listed down a few makeup hacks that are foolproof. These makeup hacks are sure to enhance your face makeup, eye makeup, and lip makeup.
1. Add loose powder to your lashes
Do you also have scanty lashes that need added falsies for the full lash effect? We feel your pain and are here with a solution. Before you use your mascara, here’s an easy makeup tip to enhance your eye makeup look. Simply take some of your face powder on a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Carefully dust this powder on your lashes. Apply thick coats of mascara on your lashes after this. This will add much more volume and drama to your lashes. Adding some loose powder to your lashes has the same effect as using lash fiber mascara. It coats your lashes and creates fuller and fluttery lashes. Add some eyeliner and kajal to complete your eye look and to define your eyes.
2. Set your lipstick to make it last longer
If you're someone who licks your lips a lot, it can be very difficult for you to make any lipstick last for a long time. We have an effective makeup trick that will make your lipstick last longer. Start by using a lip liner to line your lips. You can use the lip contouring makeup hack if you want a fuller pout. After this, use liquid lipstick to fill in your lips. You can top this up with a creamy lipstick of the same shade. This will make your lip colour last longer and fade away much more slowly.
After this, take some loose powder on a fluffy brush. Place a tissue on your lips and dust the powder over your lips. This will mattify your creamy lipstick and also set it in place. With this makeup hack, your lipstick will last all day and not smudge or transfer.
3. DIY strobing cream
Applying some strobing cream under your foundation and concealer can add an ethereal glow to your makeup look. However, not everyone has a strobing cream on hand. In such cases, this super simple makeup trick will come to your rescue. Just take some of your lip balm in a dish and add a very small scraping of your rose gold shimmery eyeshadow of highlighter to it. Mix them well with your finger or with the back of a clean makeup brush. Once the balm and eyeshadow/highlighter are well blended, you can apply it under your base makeup. This will give you the same effect as a strobing cream and give you a glow from within.
