There are so many makeup tutorial videos out there, and yet, when we apply makeup by ourselves, we end up looking like streaked circus animals as opposed to perfectly groomed models. The reason is that trade secrets are never shared. Luckily for you, now they are.
1. Use Two Shades Of Blush
A fabulous way to look younger is by applying two shades of blush. If you are using a pink or red stain on the apples of the cheeks, highlight the cheekbones with coral or peach. This will give you a long-lasting youthful shine.
2. Don’t Apply Concealer Directly Under The Eyes
For years, we have been simply dabbing the concealer under the eyes, and don’t know that we are wrong. Makeup artists don’t apply the concealer directly under the eyes. Instead, they create a triangular shape all the way till the cheek that causes light to reflect upwards and hides dark circles.
3. Lift Your Lashes
A simple and fuss-free method of lifting the lashes is by using the rear end of the mascara brush to roll back eyelash hair. This ensures that no lumps of mascara get stuck to your eyelashes, and they look flawless.
4. Apply Eyeliner Perfectly
From the thickness and length of the wings to the color of the eyeliner, impeccable attention must be paid. Get an eyeliner that is user-friendly and has a good grip. If your eyes are close-set, lining the outer corners will make them look apart. If your eyes are far set, drawing the eyeliner thicker at the inner corners will make them appear closer.
5. Make Your Mascara Last Longer
It’s absolutely annoying when luxury brand mascaras dry up within three months of use. Luckily for us, there is a way to ensure they last longer. Adding a few drops of saline water into the bottle keeps the mascara fresh and wet for a much longer time.
6. Get The Perfect Red Lips
If you love sporting red lipsticks but are worried about the inevitable smudge marks they leave, we have a solution for it. Before you apply your favorite red lipstick, rub a red lip liner all over your lips. Repeat the step after you have applied the lipstick.
7. Get Rid Of Puffy Eyes
Taking puffiness out of tired eyes was never this easy. Just dab eye drops on the puffy portion of your eye. They will tighten the skin around that area immediately. It is as good as magic.
8. Prep Your Skin
The key to great makeup is in how you begin the makeup application. Right before you start, massage some moisturizer onto your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. You can then apply the foundation and a little powder. This gives a very healthy glow.
9. Try Some Summer Freckles
Want a summer look on your face but haven’t spent enough time in the sun? Don’t worry, there is always a hack. Create tiny freckles on your nose and cheeks using a brown eyebrow pencil.
10. Use A Beauty Blender To Apply Foundation
For flawless and even application of the foundation, use a sponge blender. Dip it a little in water, and apply foundation with it when damp. This will ensure that it covers every bend, curve, and spot on your face.
11. Wash Your Sponge And Brushes
The most important trick when applying makeup is to use sponges and brushes that are clean without any color residue on them. Wash your brushes in lukewarm water and dry them for a day.
Here’s hoping that your makeup will be just as fabulous as makeup artists now that you know their secrets. Remember these beauty hacks, and you will be golden.
