There are so many rules, tutorials, and new trends when it comes to your beauty regimen. These beauty hacks will have you looking your best without spending too long in front of a mirror and will certainly play up your best features!
One Brush Doesn’t Fit All
Just like different hair types, there are different tools needed for each type. When doing a blowout, the brush is the most important tool. If you have thin or wavy hair, use an all-nylon brush for less tension on your hair. If you have thick or curly hair, use a boar-bristle brush to grip your locks.
DIY Lip Stain So You Never Run Out Again
Life's hard and running out of your favorite lip stick makes it even harder. This simple DIY stain will keep your lips colorful until you have time to get more. Simply wet a pink-toned eyeshadow and apply to your lips!
Rid Yourself Of Lower Lash Clumps
We all hate that sticky mess that comes with trying to apply a smooth coat of mascara to your lower lashes. Ditch the wand and use a fan brush to apply mascara to your lower lashes.
The Secret To A Brighter Smoky Eye
Don't feel like a dark smoky eye fits your bubbly personality? Go for the brighter version! Start with a cream color shadow on the lids, then use a long shadow brush to buff a color of your choice outwards. Finally, apply concealer wear necessary to diffuse the color if needed.
Get A Glam Glow Without A Highlighter
There's no need to drop a ton of money on the latest beauty trends. For a glam glow without all the money, simply use cream or dry oil on your cheekbones to create the desired highlighting effect.
Fake Long Nails Without The Acrylics
The French manicure has always been a staple nail style. Another reason to jump on the French mani train is they create the illusion of a longer nail when you paint a wider, thicker tip.
Faux Bangs FTW
Not sure if you'd look good with bangs, but want to try it out before you make the big leap? Faux bangs are perfect! First, decide where the bangs are going to lay from your hairline to the middle top of your head. Once you have that shape, tease away and clip the bangs in place. Finally, create a zig zag part to hide the clips and you've got the best looking bangs!
Create The Perfect No Heat Wave Look
With this simple trick you won't need to use a curling iron or straightener to get a wavy look. Simply dampen your hair with a hold and shine product, twist sections into one long spiral and then "cinnamon bun" the spirals into knots. Hold in place with a rubber band, making sure to tuck in the ends. Let your waves loose when the knots are completely dry.
The Best Beachy Glow
One way to keep your summer tan long into the fall months is to create a beachy glow using bronzer. Apply the bronzer to your nose, apple of your cheeks and your forehead for a sun-kissed look.
Glitter Goddess
Do you love making your eyes pop with glitter shadow? The best way to get that pesky glitter to stick is to use lip gloss. Use a clear lip gloss to stick on glitter and use surgical tape to create the shape you want your glitter to flow.
Create Volume To Your Straight Hair
Your straight hair doesn't have to fall flat. As you're drying it, use a round brush to place on the roots under the section. Work your hair up and around in a "C" shape to bring hair off of the scalp. Bring on the volume!
The Perfect Pouty Lip
Long gone are the days of dark lip liner. Seriously, don't use that stuff. Instead, opt for a lip liner that is a color lighter than your lips. It will give the appearance of a voluminous lip.
A New Way For Primer
Instead of using makeup primer, use eye shadow primer all over your face for a natural glow.
Hide Your Blemishes For Good
There's no need to cake on pounds of concealer and foundation to cover up unwanted blemishes. Instead, use a small brush to simply dot the concealer on the blemish and finish off with a little bit of powder on top.
The Key To Long Lasting Makeup
In order to get your makeup to set properly, you need to reduce moisture on your face before applying any powder. Simply take a tissue and gently rub over the oiliest spots on your face.
