10 Make-Up Tricks Every Woman Should know.

  1. Struggling to find where to start your blusher.  Smile at yourself in the mirror and start in the middle of the apple of your cheek.  This is the fleshy part of your cheek and is the high point of that fleshy part.

  2. Have you broken your favorite pressed power compact??  Don't need to throw it out.  Break up the balance of the powder, add a couple of drops of Isopropyl alcohol (you can get this at your local chemist) and then pat it all back down.  Allow time to dry and it will be as good as new.

  3. Always check your makeup application in different lights.  Its easy to over apply your makeup in the morning under bathroom lighting.  So always check it before you leave the house.

  4. If you have a mascara brush you love as it gives you that perfectly perfect lash.  Clean it off, I would use makeup remover, and you can reuse with a new mascara.

  5. Want to make your lipstick last longer?  After your application, take a tissue and place it over your lips, then dust translucent powder over the top.  This will set the lipstick and make it last twice as long as it used to.

  6. Are you tried of lipstick on your teeth?  Put your finger in your mouth and close your mouth.  Pull your finger out and this cleans the inside of your lips and you won't get any lippy on your teeth.

  7. If your skin colour changes a lot through summer and winter, then don't fret about having 2 different foundations.  Take your darker foundation, and add a little moisturizer to it, this will dilute the colour a fraction, and will still match the tone of your skin.

  8. When using bright colours on your eyelids, put white pencil down underneath.  This makes the colour pop on your eyelids.

  9. You can turn your pencil liner into a gel liner.  Hold the pencil tip over a flame for 1 second.  Let it cool down for 15 seconds and apply.  This will give you that gel liner look.

  10. If your lips are a bit dry and flaky, use a tooth brush to gently exfoliate off the dry skin and then apply your lippy.

Hope these little tricks helps, its always good to get a hair and makeup artists little beauty hacks.
