Whether you're new to makeup or a self-proclaimed beauty guru, there is always room for improvement when it comes to your skills. We all have our strengths and weaknesses determined by our regular makeup routine. You can be a cat eye expert, but fail in the styling department. Or you may be a contouring queen, but can't give your nails a soft coat of paint to save your life. To become an expert in all trades, or rather a makeup chair master, we share 35 beauty tips that everyone, regardless of experience level, background, age, or personal style, must know.
Beauty tip n. # 1: Use waterproof mascara to keep lashes curled. It will act as a perm for your lashes and seal in the curl, according to Maybelline New York global makeup artist Erin Parsons.
Beauty tip n. # 2: Once you finish painting your nails, use ice water to make them dry faster.
Beauty tip n. 3: You can make any normal creamy lipstick matte with loose powder and a tissue. Simply fill your lips with the color of your choice, place a tissue over the lipstick, and brush the top of the tissue with powder. The powder absorbs shine and gives your favorite lipstick a smooth, matte finish.
Beauty tip n. # 4: Store makeup wipes upside down (opening facing down) to prevent drying. According to makeup artist Kelli Bartlett, this will help the product absorb well with each wipe, starting with the one you use next.
Beauty tip n. # 5: To master the perfect winged eyeliner every day, start your stroke at the outer corner of your eyelid. Then once you have the desired length, start filling in the brim. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to use the line to the inner corner of your eye, Parsons says.
Beauty tip n. # 6: For a flawless application of lip liner every time, use this Cupid bun trick. It will help you apply a smooth, even eyeliner to the mark on your first try.
Beauty tip n. 7: Get rid of flaky lips with a homemade lip scrub made with coconut oil and brown sugar. Because exfoliated lips are the key to flawless lipstick application, you don't want to miss out on this step in your beauty prep routine.
Beauty tip n. 8: Sleep on your back to avoid waking up with puffy eyes in the morning and keep wrinkles away in the long run.
Beauty tip n. # 9: Hold a business card, spoon, or tissue behind your lashes when applying mascara to prevent the product from penetrating your lids, especially if you've just finished a glamorous eyeshadow look.
Beauty tip n. 10: Braid your wet or dry hair at night before bed to wake up to the waves on the beach in the morning. Grooming your hair overnight is the perfect way to save a few minutes when you wake up.
Beauty tip n. 11: Give your bobby pins a coat of hairspray for a better hold. Also be sure to wear them correctly, wavy side down, to make sure your hair stays in place.
Beauty tip n. # 12: Use an invisible lip liner (i.e. clear or white pencil liner) to avoid streaking your lip color. Just line your lips like you normally would and then fill them in with color.
Beauty tip n. # 13: Get a dewy glow by mixing your moisturizer with your foundation. It's the perfect way to make a full coverage foundation a little more sheer and comfortable to wear throughout the day. P.S.: This trick works with facial oil too.
Beauty tip n. # 14 - Use the connected dots method for perfect eyeliner every time. This is a great way for beginners to get on the elusive wing.
Beauty tip n. # 15: Epilate your brows (without plucking or threading) to ensure you get the perfect shape and remove only the hair you need. According to famous brow stylist Joey Healy, waxing is always better because it doesn't remove multiple hairs, which could lead to excessive waxing.
Beauty tip n. # 16: Wet the eyeshadow brush with a setting spray before applying the eyeshadow for more hold and more pigmented color.
Beauty tip n. 17: If you're in a rush, you can use lip balm to tame your brows. Just rub a little on your finger and apply it by pressing on the eyebrows.
Beauty tip n. 18: If your skin needs an extra boost at night or in the morning, apply a facial oil to your moisturizer to lock in moisture.
Beauty tip n. 19: Parsons recommends applying winged eyeliner with your eyes open, in front of a mirror. This trick will help you to have symmetrical wings on both sides.
Beauty tip n. 20: Do you have too much eyeshadow? Use duct tape under your eyes to catch any rain and keep the color on your cheeks.
Beauty tip n. 21: To simulate a long thick ponytail, use two rubber bands to create ponytails stacked on top of each other. Give the illusion that your hair is longer than it is.
Beauty tip n. # 22: To clean up makeup mistakes, especially around the eyes, use a cotton swab dipped in micellar water, says makeup artist Jonet Williamson.
Beauty tip n. 23: If you wake up with frizzy hair every morning, replace your pillowcase with a silk one. Silk fabric will not disturb your strands.
Beauty tip n. 24: For ready-to-wear brows, paint the brow gel across the brows, then lightly press down on the hairs with your fingertips to keep them from moving, Healy explains.
Beauty tip n. 25: You can fix a badly broken nail in a matter of minutes using a tea bag to prevent the problem from getting worse.
Beauty tip n. 26: According to Williamson, the trick to a beautiful smokey eye is color. She recommends wearing brown eyeshadow, not black, to achieve the look. Real black eyeshadow can look too harsh.
Beauty tip n. 27: To brush out unruly hairs, use a clean makeup coil, the same type you use to apply your mascara or comb your brows, and some hairspray. This will help style your hair and prevent frizz.
Beauty tip n. 28: Apply the eyeliner pencil to the upper waterline to give the illusion of thicker lashes in seconds.
Beauty tip n. 29: Shower face mask to save time in your beauty routine and help your skin better absorb hydrating ingredients.
Beauty tip n. 30: Applying a foot mask can be a real compromise when it means you can't walk for the next 20 to 30 minutes. To walk freely, apply a pair of regular socks to the masking slippers.
Beauty Tip # 31: Ditch the towel-dried hair method and opt for a microfiber t-shirt or wrap to enhance your hairstyle.
Beauty tip n. 32 - If mascara does transfer to lids, use a clean fluffy eyeshadow brush to polish it off.
Beauty tip n. 33: For an easy application of winged eyeliner, place the palm of your hand under your chin before drawing over the perfect cat eye. Helps stabilize your hand and aligns perfectly with the upper lash line.
Beauty tip n. 34: makeup on your clothes? No problem. Use a makeup wipe to clean it up quickly.
Beauty tip n. 35: If you're trying out a really spectacular winged eyeliner style, Williamson recommends drawing the shape with eyeshadow first.
