Whether you're young or old, boy or girl everyone has been exposed to make up at some point in their lives. Makeup can be used to cover a blemish, as a fashion statement, or as a way to express yourself. I have compiled together a number of different makeup hacks that can make your life just a bit easier.
1. Beauty Blender
Say goodbye to those old throwaway sponges used for make up and say hello to the beauty blender. The beauty blender is a small tear shaped sponge use to blend out make up flawlessly. Users simply dab their make up from the center of their face to the outer portion of their face with the beauty blender to create an airbrushed look. Unlike other sponges the beauty blender makes make up look as if it was not even there.
2. Damp Beauty Blender
Along with the first hack, the beauty blender can actually be used damp. All you do is run your beauty blender underwater and then squeeze out the excess moisture. A moist beauty blender helps to retain moisture into your face and does not soak up as much product as a dry one would.
3. Tape
Tape is typically just an office supply but it can actually be used to help make your make up appear better. Applying tape from the outer portion of your eyelid to the edge of your eyebrow can help to create cleaner lines on eyeshadow and eyeliner.
4. Concealer
Concealer can be used as a number of different things in your make up other than just to conceal flaws. And sealer can be used to sharpen wings or to sharpen your eyeshadow. Another concealer hack is to apply concealer under your eyebrows in order to make them look cleaner and stand out more.
5. Eyebrow Gel
Who needs expensive $20 eyebrow gel when you have an eos lip balm. Eos lip balm's are actually clear, so it makes it easy just to run the lip balm over your eyebrows and order to hold your eyebrows in place better, like an eyebrow gel.
6. Dried Makeup
Is your eyeliner or mascara dried out?
Instead of going out in purchasing a brand-new tube all you have to do is place your dry don't make a product into a glass of hot water and let it sit for a bit. After five minutes or so the product should be good as new.
7. Baking
Typically when you hear baking you think cakes or cookies, not make up, but what you don't know is you can actually use powder to bake your under eyes, hold your make up better in place and lighten up your face.
8. Banana Powder?
Along with the seven pack about baking you can actually use yellow powder to bake you're under eyes. Of course no one has a yellow skin tone but yellow powder can actually be used to highlight your under eyes better than translucent.
9. Wet Brush
Whether you use water or the Mac fix plus spray, wetting your brushes can be a major important step in achieving perfect eyeshadow. Wetting the brushes helps to make the eyeshadow more creamy and appear darker.
10. Blow Dryer
Blowdryers can actually be used to melt the eyeliner, eye pencil, or the lip liner, in order to make it appear creamier and last longer.
