Apply Under Eye Concealer In A Triangle
Putting your under eye concealer on in a triangle not only gets the black circle under your eyes to go away, but it also creates the illusion of lifting your face! It draws the focus up so people look at your eyes.
Avoid The Oily Look
Every girl hates when their face looks oily, no matter what's causing it. To avoid a shiny face, keep the area from the top of your nose to your chin matte. Think of this section as a triangle shape.
Keep The Focus On Your Eyes
If you want to keep the focus on your eyes and away from your lashes, just apply mascara to the base of your lashes and stay away from the ends. You'll keep your eyelashes looking fierce, but not so fierce they'll steal the show!
Keep That Summer Glow
Keep your summer glow through fall with these easy steps. First, apply contour cream all over your face. Second, add translucent powder. Third, add a matte bronzer to your cheekbones, jawline and nose.
Beach Waves Don’t Have To Break
To get that beachy texture you've been dying for, apply sea salt spray from the roots of your hair to about mid-length. Put leave-in conditioner on your ends to prevent breakage and keep the ends looking soft.
Diffuse The Smoky Eye
For a softer smoky eye first apply a cream-based shadow in the smoky color you want from lash line to the crease. Top that color with a translucent powder to create the diffused look.
Get Rid Of Undereye Bags
To get rid of puffy or tight undereye bags, apply cold green tea bags under your eyes for 5 minutes. It will instantly make you look more awake!
Create A Creamy Finish
For a creamier look to your lipstick, mix a drop of foundation to the lipstick before applying. No matter the color of lipstick you choose, the foundation will make the color look creamier on your lips!
Make Your Hair Look Thicker
Using an eyeshadow that is in the same color group as your hair color, brush it along your hair part in order to hide your scalp and make your hair look thicker.
Clean Up Run Away Shadow
To clean up the run away shadow flecks, use surgical tape to get the shadow off your skin. If you use normal translucent tape, the tape is more likely to stick to your skin, which we don't want.
Effortlessly Cool Bends
To make slight bends in straight hair, put a section of hair into the flat iron to create the first bend and then form that section into an "S" shape and clamp where it curves. Keep repeating this step until you reach the end of the section of hair.
Smudge Proof Eyeshadow
With this trick you can make your shadow last all day! Choose the color shadow you want and mix it with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol before putting it on your lids. Hello sweat proof eyeshadow!
Plump Up Your Eyelashes
Dust a coat of baby powder after your first coat of mascara to make your lashes appear more voluptuous.
