5 Life-Saving Makeup Tricks Worth Knowing

Every woman deserves to know how to use different tips and tricks to enhance their naturally gorgeous features, and here’s what we have listed for you.

Get that perfect pout

If you are the Kylie Jenner of your family, dying to have bigger lips, then fake them til’ you make them, girl. You are only a few simple steps away from getting plumper and more kissable lips, so buckle up and follow. First things first, exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub to make your lips bigger right away, but be gentle with your circular motions. After you have prepped your lippies, it’s time for a lip liner. When choosing the perfect liner, it’s always good to go for a colour that is a bit darker than your natural lip color. Find a shade that works for your skin tone, and overline your lips by going from the edges to your cupid’s bow. Bend your upper lip behind your teeth to line your cupid line better, and blend the liner into the lip towards the centre so it’s not such a harsh line. Do the same with your bottom lip and then colour your whole lips, and you’re done with the lip liner. As for the lipstick, stick to matte liquid lipstick because it won’t show how much you overlined your lips, and voila! No lip injections needed.

The golden hour look

To achive that perfect natural looking and healthy tan, you’ll need a tinted hydrating gel cream to start your beauty routine. Blend it all out over your whole face with a brush and then conceal your under eye area by dabbing it with your finger because it looks more natural. For medium and au naturel coverage, use a natural vegan powder foundation with a SPF 15, or a setting powder if you have oily skin because it absorbs oils, but don’t go overboard if you want to avoid your face looking too matte and unnatural. Use a highlighter for your nose bridge, cupid’s bow and cheeks. Apply your favourite blush and there you go. Find a perfect spot for a selfie, and your golden hour hashtag can officially be inserted. You’re welcome.

Brow game strong

The nineties are officially back in fashion, but they are only cool in the form of the skinny shades and not the skinny brows. Unless you’re Rihanna who can actually pull off this embarrassing trend and cover an issue of Vogue along the way. We get it, you’re the kween. But bushy brows are way more attractive and some models even stopped plucking them. If your brows aren’t naturally bushy, you can always grow them. In order to grow some hair, your skin has to be hydrated and nourished properly. To get thicker brows with the help of makeup, identify your perfect brow shape first. Then, outline them with an eyebrow pencil by drawing a line underneath your brows and then fill in the gaps. Also, you can use a pencil to draw fake hair. After that, take an angled brush and a powder to define your brow shape, and blend those lines to look more natural.

Make your eyes pop

Use eyeliner right at the bottom of the lash line and keep your eyes open while looking down. This will intensify your lash line and make it look thicker. It’s a great tip for summer because it’s not as heavy as a liquid eyeliner. As for your lashes, always curl them before applying mascara because it makes a huge difference. Finish the look by applying mascara in three steps. First, apply it on the side that goes to the end of your eyebrows, then move onto the centre of your lashes that go straight up and then to the side that is closer to the beginning of your brows. This will make your eyes pop without even having to put on eyeliner.

Throwin’ shade, only classy

As for your perfect glowy daily look, opt for a natural eyeshadow close to your natural skin colour. Apply it on your lids and add a little bit of mascara. Also, if you are the type of girl who likes to use the same product for multiple tasks, then a perfect choice of a bronzer could serve as an eyeshadow as well.

I hope this made you realize you don’t have to be Kim K to have every little makeup trick up your sleeve. So, it’s the right time to put them into practice starting from today.
