From hair to makeup, there’s always going to be
shortcuts that will help save time and get that perfect look, without spending
hours or a fortune.
I have a list of
beauty hacks that are easy, inexpensive and very effective.
Use one or use them all to get the look that you want
in just a few minutes each day.
Beauty is not something that comes natural to every
woman (especially me!).
Some women like me, have to spend time priming and
polishing in order to get the perfect look.
Every woman is beautiful in her own right, it is no secret that there
are some that look like they spend much more time with their beauty routine
than others.
However, this does not mean that every beautiful woman
in the world needs spend hours getting ready every morning.
There are hacks or short cuts that you can use to help
you to look like you spend hours in the bathroom, while you may only have to
spend a few minutes.
Keep
Lipstick off Teeth
Lipstick on the teeth has plagued women for centuries.
Nobody likes to smile and only to find out that they
have red all along their pearly whites.
A great way to avoid this is to simply wipe your lips
from the inside out.
After you finish applying your lipstick, just stick
your finger in your mouth and pull it out.
Remember making those “popping” noises when you were a
kid? This is the same thing.
Your finger will wipe away the excess lipstick and
leave your teeth shiny white.
Set
Lipstick to Last
Lipstick tends to rub off, smudge and otherwise not
look as great at the end of the day as it did when you first applied it.
You can remedy this problem with a bit of
translucent powder.
After you have applied your chosen lip color, lightly dust just a bit of translucent powder over
the lips.
This helps to set the lipstick so that it lasts longer.
White
Eye Shadow Makes Eyes Stand Out
White eye shadow is a great choice if you really want
your eyes to stand out.
Apply white eye
shadow to your lid and then add the colors that you want.
White will also keep the other colors from rubbing off
before the end of the day.
You can even add a small amount of white to the top of
the lid by the brow bone to really make your eyes pop.
Brighten
Eyes from the Inside
Using a light, shimmery eye shadow on the inside
corners of your eyes will brighten your eyes.
The lighter color helps to alleviate darkness that is
normally present on top of the nose area.
Brush a very
lightly colored shimmery shadow into the area whenever you apply your eye
shadow.
Mascara
as Eye Liner
If you just realized have run out of eye liner, you can
use your mascara instead.
Rub an eye liner
brush over the mascara brush and then line your eyes.
Get
Longer, Fuller Lashes with Baby Powder
You don’t have to wear false lashes to get that long,
full look.
You can achieve the same look by dipping a cotton swab
into baby powder and running it across your lashes after you have applied a
coat of mascara.
Nail
Art – With a Band-Aid
For quick nail art, just grab the Band-Aids.
Paint your nails the base color that you want.
Once the nails are dry, place the sticky part of the
Band-Aid over your nails and color in with any other color that you want.
You will get a great polka-dot look that is easy and
takes very little time to create.
Great
Gradient Manicure
Gradient manicures are trending and they are so easy to
do.
Instead of spending hours applying each coat of color, just apply them all
at once. You will need a makeup sponge and the colors that you plan to use.
Apply
top coat to the sponge, this helps to stop the sponge from completely absorbing
all of the polish before it gets to your nails.
Paint the gradient that you
want on the makeup sponge and then press it to your nail. Instant manicure!
Glue
for Manicures
Use plain old school glue to prevent getting polish on
the skin on the sides of your nails.
You can rub it off if you do accidentally
get it on your nails.
Apply the glue, let dry and then just peel it away once
you’ve painted your nails!
It is great for grabbing those corners and edges,
leaving you with the perfect manicure.
Treat
Bruises with Mouthwash
Mouthwash will help the bruise to clear up much faster
and instantly makes it look better.
Remember this the next time you walk into that table
that you keep forgetting you have.
Just dab some
mouthwash on the area with a cotton swab and it will look and feel much better.
Getting
Rid of Split Ends
Split ends are the worst. Almost everyone has them.
To get rid of them, you don’t necessarily have to visit
your stylist.
Twist several strands together and then snip away the
hairs that you see sticking out.
Your hair will be much smoother and shinier.
Hope you enjoyed these Beauty Hacks :)
