phew now thats out of the way how about we get started?
1. Longer Lasting Perfume...
If like me you find that your perfume just falls flat after a little while meaning you either seriously need to re-apply or run the risk of smelling like you've taken dumpster diving a little too seriously, then this is the hack for you. All you need to do is apply a small amount of vaseline or chapstick to the areas where you apply your perfume and your perfume will last that much longer. This is definitely a hack that has saved my skin or rather other peoples noses on more than one occasion.2. Save Your Dried Out Mascara...
Now most of you girls (or guys) know that when your mascara dries out too much thats pretty much a death sentence for said mascara. However, now you can give that old clumpy mascara a new lease of life by simply placing the tube in a cup of hot water (not boiling but not too cold either) for around 5 minutes. With this hack theres no need to throw away your favourite tube of mascara just heat it up and your good to go. Although, I've got to say that there is a down side to this tip as you lose the excuse to get some more mascara.
3. Mattify That Glossy Lip
I am most definitely a self confessed lipstick addict, I love all the different shades and the way that you can completely change a look just by using a different coloured lippy. That being said i am not the kind of woman who can pull off a glossy lip, I don't know what it is but I just prefer the look of matte lipsticks. However anyone who loves a matte lip will know that there are serious limitations when it comes to matte lipstick choices, so when I found a hack to make "any" lipstick matte I just about jumped up for joy. Finally I can enjoy a matte lip without the lipstick envy that comes along with it. All you need to do for this hack is apply your lipstick as normal (any shade would work) then take a tissue and hold it over your lips, then all you need to do is tap some translucent powder (using a makeup brush) through the tissue and on to your lips. Voila instant matte lipstick.4. Create a Sharp Eyeshadow Look and Perfect Wing
This particular hack is one I use pretty often as it just makes things so much easier. If you struggle to create a sharp line with your eyeshadow or maybe can't seem to get a nice straight wing to your liner, then this hack right here is your life saver. All you need to do is take a small piece of tape (I prefer to use craft tape or cheaper sellotape as it's less sticky), line the tape up with your lower lash line making sure to follow the curve of your eye and aim up towards your eyebrow and then do your eyeshadow as normal. When you come to do your wing you just need to follow the edge of the tape. When you're done simply remove the tape, touch up your foundation and your done and have mastered the perfect wing to your liner.
5. Turn Your Kohl Liner into Gel
Okay so I have a serious problem with eyeliner, I just feel completely naked without it, weird I know lol. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with kohl eyeliner, in fact it's great for perfecting a sultry smokey eye or a soft makeup look. But when doing a winged liner look or you just want a perfect black liner then this hack is here to help. All you need is a kohl liner and a lighter, take the eyeliner and hold it close to (but not touching) the flame until you can see it change consistency and look a little like it's melting (you don't need to hold it there for long just a second or so) wait for it to be cool enough that it won't burn you and apply as normal. Just like that you've turned your greyish black kohl liner into a super black gel liner...Perfect.
Okay folks so there you have my 5 beauty hacks for today I will of course share more tips, tricks and hacks with you and I hope to see you again soon...
