Use Vaseline For A Smudge-Free Manicure
Apply a little Vaseline along the boundary where your nails end and your skin begins to keep your at-home manicure on your nails (and not the skin surrounding your nails). Wait for your manicure to dry before washing your hands; any polish that gets on top of the Vaseline will come off easily.
Apply Dry Shampoo Before Bed
When you need to be somewhere quickly but don’t have time to wash your hair, dry shampoo comes in handy. However, applying dry shampoo before bedtime may help you get more use out of your bottle. April Franzino, the Beauty Director at Good Housekeeping, adds, “I adore using it before night.” “Your hair will absorb it as you sleep, and you’ll wake up looking refreshed.”
Tap Perfume On Your Wrists
This easy step will extend the life of your perfume: When applying perfume, don’t rub your wrists together (it makes it wear off faster). Instead, join your hands.
Go Easy On The Concealer
Contrary to common opinion, slathering concealer beneath your eyes won’t make your dark circles go; in fact, too much concealer can make you appear older. Instead, use a little layer of sheer concealer to level out your skin tone without totally concealing it.
Set Your Lipstick With Powder Through A Tissue
Are you fed up with your lipstick smudging, fading, or spreading during the day? Set it with a translucent powder, but keep it away from your lips. Instead, blot with a tissue to ensure that only the proper amount of powder reaches your lips. Follow the rest of this simple lipstick tutorial to ensure your color lasts as long as possible.
Use Multiple Face Masks To Maximize Your Results
Because skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all, tailoring your routine can help you achieve the greatest results for your skin. “Multi-masking is when many facial masks are utilized or put on the skin at the same time to battle different skin conditions,” says Cecilia Wong, an aesthetician in New York City. Use a moisturizing mask on the sides of your face and a charcoal mask on your forehead, nose, and chin if you have an oily T-zone but dry cheeks. It’s exactly like being at a spa!
Stamp Your Lashes To Make Them Look Fuller
Mascara stamping is a simple technique to give depth to your eyes without wearing eyeliner. By gently pressing your mascara on the underside of your lashes, you can achieve a fuller, darker effect that’s similar to eyeliner but more natural.
Choose A Blush Formula Based On Your Needs
Understanding which blush you require might assist you in achieving the best outcomes for your face. Powder compositions are ideal for people with wider pores, whilst cream forms have a dewy look and last longer. Gels are fantastic for a healthy glow, but they don’t usually last very long, whereas stains are ideal for people who sweat a lot. Here’s a rundown of the four most common varieties!
Apply Blush According To Your Face Shape
Using your bone structure as a guide while applying blush can give you the most appealing effect. Oval face shapes, for example, should begin their application on the cheekbones and gently sweep up the temples. On get the most out of your rouge, follow our advice to determining the best blush approach for your face shape.
Fix A Broken Nail With A Teabag
We’ve all experienced it: you’ve finally grown out your nails to the point where they’re healthy, strong, and all the same length, and then you hit a roadblock. But don’t go for the scissors just yet; a teabag and some nail adhesive will suffice. After a few minutes, you’ll be ready to do some more nail art.
Use A Diffuser For More Defined Curls
If you’re a curly female, using your blowdryer at face value is a major error. If you’re tired of frizz and heat damage, consider a diffuser, which is “a blowdryer attachment that reduces a lot of the frizz that occurs when curly hair is naturally air dried,” as hairdresser Britt White says.
Twirling your hair, putting it in the diffuser attachment, and blowdrying it on low can make a huge impact.
