Who doesn’t love a few quirky recession busting beauty tips?! From mascara to lip gloss tricks, take a look below. 🙂
Banish Flaky Mascara
So we know you should only hang on to your mascara for 3 months, but sometimes they can dry up before then and your freshly coated lashes may start to flake. What’s a girl to do?! Bring your mascara back to life with a few drops of saline solution. It’s cheap and you can get it from any chemist. Plus if you wear contact lenses, you’ll definitely have it knocking around!
Use a spoon to help an unsteady hand
Applying the perfect, precise flick of liquid eye liner isn’t always the easiest task! If you’re a fan of the cat eye but don’t have the steadiest hand, try following the three steps shown in the photo above to help you out. Use the stem of a spoon to draw a clear diagonal line and then turn the spoon over and use the curved edge of the spoon to draw a line towards the base of your lashes. Simply fill it in and there you go!
Turn your pencil eye liner into a gel formula
If your eye pencil is creating a harsh line and you would prefer a smudgier look, simply hold your pencil under a flame as shown for one second and allow it to cool for 15 seconds. The pencil will change into a more gel like consistency, which will help you create a different look.
Create a lip gloss with your eye shadow
If you love one of your eye shadows and would like to put it on your pout, you can! Mix a little loose pigment eye shadow, like the one shown above, with some salve or petroleum jelly like Vaseline and you can create a brand new lippie!
Heat your eyelash curler with a hair dryer
Don’t have a heated eyelash curler? No problem! Just blast your ordinary eyelash curler with your hair dryer until it heats up, wait until it cools a little but is still warm, and curl away. The heat will help hold the curl for longer.
