HACK IT!

You don’t have to spend hours in front of a mirror to get your makeup perfect. There are all kinds of little tricks you can use that will make applying cosmetics much easier and ensure that you always have the look you are going for. Here are a few:

1.Turn Your Eyeliner Into Gel Liner.

This will make eyeliner easier to apply because it makes it softer. Simply place the tip of the eyeliner pencil over a flame for one second. Wait about 15 seconds for it to cool down, and apply. 

2. Using a White Base Before Eye Shadow.

Is that hot pink eye shadow not coming out as 'hot' as you want? Don't worry, just apply a white base before applying the intense colour, it can even be a white eye shadow. This will allow the colour to pop!

3. Perfect Winged Eyeliner With a Spoon.

Yes, I said 'spoon' ! ..Start your eyeliner as you would for a cat eye look, press the rounded side of the spoon against your eyelid, and move the spoon outwards to create the winged effect.

4. Make That Gloss Go.

We all have that one lipstick we love but its too glossy and we wish it had a matte finish. All you have to do is take a piece of tissue and place it by your lips.Taking some translucent or baby powder, apply it on a fluffy brush and dab the powder on.

5. No More Lipstick On Your Teeth

After applying your lipstick, put your finger in your mouth. Close your lips around your finger, then pull your finger out. The excess lipstick will get on your finger, and not on your teeth.

6.Colour Correcting

Sometimes color correcting palettes might be too expensive or sometimes you just don't need the entire thing. But did you know a matte orange-red lipstick can be used as a correcter? This will cover up your dark circles and blemishes the same way in no time.
