Top 10 Beauty Tricks!

1. Stained Lips 

If you have a pigmented or dark lip color and don't want the full color, you can dab the lipstick on for a more natural "stained" effect.

2. Bright-eyed Effect

To achieve a wide-eyed brighter look, place a bit of lighter shimmery shadow on the middle of the eyelid. It will open up the eye area and bring more light to it.

3. Wake Up Your Eyes

Take a nude or white eyeliner and line your waterline to look more well-rested.

4. Setting Foundation

Be sure to let liquid foundation set and dry for a few minuted BEFORE putting a setting powder on to prevent the powder from looking cakey.

5. Smooth Out Blush & Bronzer

If you apply your setting powder after putting on bronzer and blush to help smooth everything out and create a more natural color.

6. Find Your Natural Brow Shape

There is an easy way to figure out where your eyebrows should naturally start and stop for tweezing or waxing.
To find out where your brow should naturally start, take a pencil or makeup brush and hold it along the side of your nose angled straight up to your forehead. The pencil should line up with the start of your brows.
To find your natural arch, angle the pencil so one end is touching a nostril and the other end passes over your pupil, up to your brow. Where the pencil hits your brow is your natural arch.
To find where your brow ends, keep one end of the pencil along the nostril and angle the pencil so it touches the outer corner of your eye; where the pencil hits at the end of your brow line, is where your brows should end.
(Remember this is just a trick to get brows that are the most flattering for your face, but it is not a rule. Wear your brows however you prefer.)

7. Dry Shampoo Master

When using a dry shampoo, make sure to give it five to ten minutes to soak up the oil in your hair before brushing it through.

8. Soft Yet Defined Eye Look

For a defined yet still soft eye look, apply liquid liner and then once it's dry take a thin eye brush and apply a matte black eyeshadow along the edge of the liquid liner. This will help smoke out liquid liner a bit while still maintaining its defined effect.

9. Mess-Proof Liquid Liner

Liquid liner can be tricky to get the hang of. If you make a mistake don't worry just finish up your liner and let it dry. Then go back with a damp cotton swab and run it over your mistake and POOF! It's gone!

10. Mascara Mess No More

We've all been there, you create the perfect eye look and then start on mascara only to get the little mascara dots on your eyelid by accident. If this happens, don't touch them just let them dry and take a clean blending brush and just blend over them and they will disappear. If this doesn't work, follow beauty trick #9 above and take a damp cotton swab and dab the dry mascara dots.
