10 Beauty Tips And Tricks
As girls, we all love experimenting with beauty items and enhancing our look. We love seeing how using different cosmetics would change up our whole look. But since not all of us are professionals in this field, we sometimes find it difficult to achieve a certain look that we desired that we found somewhere from the internet or from celebrities we idolise. Thus, this article is here, to help you figure out how to look a step closer to the look you want to.
1. Use puncher-hole stickers to create French tips on nails.
“French tips” is a classic nail art design. They look simple and minimal, and do not look too intimidating to others, nor do they look too heavy, unlike dark or shiny colours. However, trying to create “French tips” on your own is pretty difficult without the proper tools, plus, going to the salon just for such a simple design is just a huge waste of time and money. But, this look can actually be achieved if you purchase those puncher-hole stickers and stick them on your nails at the position you want, and this makes the process a whole lot easier. Best yet, these stickers are usually pretty cheap, and they serve quite a lot of purposes, too!
2. Go with brown eyeliner instead of black for a softer look.
This mostly applies to pencil liner, as liquid liners are perfect the way they are. When using a pencil liner, usually on your lash-line, people often use go for a complete black eyeliner look, but this is a huge mistake as it would make your eyes look too heavy and unnatural. The trick to using eyeliner on your lash-line is to use a brown line instead of a black one. Brown eyeliner pencil can help soften the look when you applied it onto your lash-line, and they make you look more natural.
3. To create natural-looking brows, don’t draw them too thick.
Drawing your eyebrows can be tricky, and although some people had “mastered” drawing their own eyebrows, there are still many people who struggle with it and are unable to draw the same brows all the time. The trick to drawing your eyebrows so that they look more natural is not to draw them too thick. Having thick and dark-looking eyebrows would not only make your face look unnatural, they also make you look funny. However, if you prefer having darker eyebrows, just make sure you do not concentrate on the front or the tail of your brows, rather filling in the middle part of your brows.
4. Contour your face by identifying the shadows on your face.
Contour is an “all or nothing” thing. If you did it right, you will look amazing and natural, even. But if you do it the wrong way, you’ll look like a clown. The key to contour your face is to look at your face in the mirror and identify the shadows on your face, then only apply the contour. It is also useful if you can shine light onto your face at a different angle to ensure the approximate positions of the shadows. Contours are usually used below your cheekbones, on the temples of your face, on your jawline, and also on the side of your nose.
5. Highlight your face by looking at where your face reflects light.
Highlighting is the complete opposite of contour. After contouring your face, you would want to look at the places on your face that have the most shine or brightness. Of course, our faces do not reflect light, but there will be points on our faces that will seem shinier than other parts. These places are usually our cheekbones, the bridge of our noses, and our forehead. Although highlight and contour are complimentary of each other, it is, however, possible to look great with just one of the products.
6. Use eyelash curler from vertical to horizontal for maximum eyelash lift.
Many girls claim that one of the things they cannot leave the house without doing is curling their lashes. Yes, although it seems tedious as the eyelash curler itself looks intimidating and difficult to use, but if used right, it could make your face look more awake and ready for the day. It is well known that eyelash curlers are used by lining them vertically on your face, however, if you want maximum eyelash lift, the trick to do that is to first curl them vertically, and then hold the curler horizontally, approximately perpendicular to your face, and then curl your lashes.
7. Use matte products instead of glossy ones if you have oily skin.
Having oily skin is actually something really common, so don’t fret about it. Although we cannot stop our faces from being oily, we can actually use makeup to cover up the greasy looking shine that we do not want to have on your face. For people who have oily skin, the best way to reduce the shine is to apply cosmetic products that are matte instead of products that are glossy, especially products that are used on your faces, such as foundation and powder. But it’s also important to clean your face thoroughly before you sleep as these products are great at clogging pores and would worsen your skin condition.
8. Wipe off excess mascara on a tissue before applying to prevent clumpy lashes.
Isn’t it disgusting when you apply mascara and instead and looking fabulous, you look like a hot mess and your eyelashes look like a spider’s legs? That is definitely not how you want to start the day with. So to prevent having a mascara wand that is all clumped up with the formula, you would want to wipe off the excess formula on a tissue paper first, then only apply it on your lashes like you usually would. Let’s face it, clumpy lashes are not attractive, and they are very uncomfortable too.
9. If you run out of makeup remover, use Vaseline as a substitute.
Removing your makeup is the most tedious thing a girl has to do in their day. But what is worst is when you ran out of makeup remover. It can be such a nightmare as washing your face with just water and cleanser is not clean enough, and plus, sleeping with makeup is terrible to your skin. But, fear not! If so happens you had run out of makeup remover, you can use Vaseline to remove your makeup. Vaseline is petroleum jelly and contains oil in them, they are excellent at removing every single bit of cosmetics on your face. Just makeup after using Vaseline, be sure to cleanse your face well, as Vaseline could clog pores if left on your face.
10. Add bright shimmery colour to the inner corners of your eyes to appear more awake.
This is a great makeup tip that every girl should know of. After applying your usual eye makeup, you know, your eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, and all, your eyes might look too dark and even not awake. To enhance the look, add a little bright shimmery eyeshadow on the inner corners of your eyes. The bright colour will balance out all the darkness applied to your eyes. You will look more awake, and your makeup would look more complete.
So here are the beauty tips and tricks that you girls (or guys) can use in your daily beauty regime. All the tips here are listed to help you look more natural, youthful, and beautiful. Of course, if you prefer a different kind of makeup look, by all means, do whatever you like. Just remember, that makeup is not something you do for other people, but something you do for yourself.
