5 Makeup Secrets & Tips that You Don't Know About

For women who wish to look glamorous every day, makeup is an essential commodity. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that using makeup is an art. It might take some time and practice for the novice to master this art. However, here are some unconventional tricks and tips of makeup application that will turn you into a makeup artist!

1. Applying foundation and powder with descending strokes ensures a better finish. This technique flattens any facial hair.
2. If you have small eyes and want to make them appear bigger, here is the trick. Apply white eyeliner along the waterline of your eyes, just like you apply kohl. Similarly, if you have big eyes and want them appear smaller, use black eye pencil or kohl.
3. Use a plastic eyelash curler, instead of metal ones, for better results. Always curl your lashes before applying mascara.
4. The bristles of the mascara applicator often end up touching the skin near the eyes. To prevent smudges on the skin, use a spare business card. Hold the card gently against your skin at the back of your lashes and apply mascara in zigzag motion from side to side. If your hand happens to tremble, the applicator will smudge the card and not your skin.
5. Girls with thin lips, out there, this one is for you! If you want to make your lips appear fuller, use the lip liner slightly outside the natural edges of your lips, before applying lipstick.

Try these simple tips and you’ll be amazed how effortless applying makeup becomes, even with cheap makeup!
