Beauty hacks can’t consume your life. That’s why it’s vital to have some nifty makeup tricks that take less time than the blink of an eye to turn your look from pretty to polished. Watching some of our favorite makeup artistes prep backstage we’ve thrown together ten expert approved face makeup tips that can transform the way you look and feel in a jiffy.
For an instantly wide awake makeup look, use a sheer layer of light brown or taupe eyeshadow on your bottom lids instead of a black pencil that can make your eyes look smaller. The soft shadow will instantly soften your look and wake up your eyes. Lightly dab under eye concealer for a more seamless, professional look.
It might sound too out there but seriously using concealer around your nostrils will instantly blur wrinkles, zapping your laugh lines and brightening your face in ways you can’t imagine. And no, covering up your dark circles isn’t enough. Just take a dab on your index finger and blend in for the best results.
Even on rushed mornings, don’t skip blush while applying your makeup, even if it’s just to lightly dab over cheekbones. It’s the fastest cheat to get an instantaneously healthy glow without a workout and healthy diet!
Airbrushed, luminous glow is in! Your faithful foundation just isn’t enough. Mix it with your favorite face serum or moisturizer for a seamless, poreless finish that will keep your skin happy, glowy and hydrated all day. Or you could simply start with a thin layer of cream on cheeks, forehead and forehead and top with foundation for dewy perfection.
It’s the Victoria Secret for your eyes! You won’t even need mascara if you take just five seconds to curl your lashes. Nothing opens up your eyes and gives you that Bambi appeal with so little effort.
Surely you know the over arched thin brow look is so '90s. So is the unkempt bushy brow look that makes you look like a trucker in drag. So what's a girl to do with the longer, unruly hairs in the front of the brows? Just brush them in place and keep it that way with a light dusting of brow gel. If that doesn't make you look like a bushy eyed beauty nothing ever will!
we all know that age old trick of adding a dab of highlighter to your Cupid's bow for a luscious pout. Let's go a step further. Apply highlighter ALL over your lips, top with a nude lip liner and then swipe on your fave lippie. This way the light catches your pouty, pillowy lips at every angle.
Winged tips can be fiddly, wasting precious minutes in the a.m. A quicker way to uplift your eyes is using a stick concealer to do more than cover under eye circles. Just place it on the outer corner of eyes and blend up towards the eyebrows. Don’t ask us how it works but it suddenly opens up the eyes for a wide awake look.
Enough of those ugly white liners already! The effect is ghostly at best. Instead try a nude eye pencil to look wide eyed and bushy tailed.
Such an easy trick! Simply apply a light layer of foundation or matte bronzer two shades darker than your skin under your chin, and along your jawline. Blend well towards your neck. Hello swan neck!
