Which girl doesn’t love makeup? Ok, I am sure that some don’t, but, truth be said, makeup can be a great way to boost a girl’s confidence or simply another way to express one’s style, just like clothing. I personally like wearing makeup, especially before a big night out or event – it’s like wearing an elegant accessory with my outfit for the night!
However, makeup can be pretty hard to wear the right way (just think about putting on eyeliner! Hell on earth) and it can also be quite expensive. What I am going to discuss today is the basic and unforgettable makeup hacks you are gonna need from today on.
Eyes
- If you are a fan of smoky eye, use a smoky eye pencil to create a big hashtag sign on the corner of your eyelid. Then smudge – the result will surprise you! The perfect amount of eyeshadow in no time.
- My personal favorite trick, simple but very efficient: if your makeup tends to leave unpleasant shadows under your eyes at the end of the night, try applying some concealer right there just before applying the rest of the makeup. Even if you don’t need concealer itself, it will prevent the formation of nasty shadows.
Lips
- To prevent your lipstick from making your lips dry and chapped, apply lip balm first. This will moisturize your lips and make your lipstick application smoother.
- To avoid lipstick marks on your teeth, put one finger in your mouth, close it and take the finger out right after the application. The eventual traces left on the inner side of your lips will be cleaned by your finger (genius!).
- To make your lipstick last longer, scrub your lips before and then apply liner. This will create a base your lipstick can stick to. This trick is very effective for lip gloss as well, which tends to fade even faster than lipstick!
