Hi guys,
So I thought I would be brave and go for another tricky blog and hope that the server doesnt crash again. I am going to share some beauty hacks with you but please remember im not an expert, some of these are quiteobvious and aren’t really hacks but they are things I do to speed up and simplify my morning routine. I’m gonna add as well that these pictures arent mine because I dont want to show my face without makeup, so here goes…
Use tape to get the perfect eyeliner flick:
All you need is tape and a good liquid or gel eyeliner. Put the tape underneath your eye pointing upwards at whatever angle you want and draw your flick. Im being real with you guys right now, I suck at freehanding eyeliner so I do this everyday lol.
How to spot split ends:
All you need to do is grab a section of your hair and twist it. Any split ends will stick out and you can trim them easily. This makes it so much easier and means you dont have to get a chunk of your hair cut off.
Use Dry Shampoo:
So this one is so obvious but dry shampoo is seriously my best friend. If your roots are looking greasy or your hair is looking flat, then lift up your hair and spray your roots for an instant refresh. I use batiste, but it leaves a white residue so you really need to wash your hair after using it so you dont look like you have dandruff, especially if you have contrasting brown hair.
Check your makeup in different lighting:
Sometimes your foundation or concealer might look like the perfect shade when you’re sat at your vanity, but what about when your outside or in a lighter or darker space? Check your makeup in different lighting to avoid looking patchy or fake.
No Heat Waves:
If you want waves without the damage that curling inevitably curses on our hair, then section your hair before you go to bed and braid the sections. In the morning, take your braids out gently and your hair should be wavy. Alternatively, you could braid your hair in the morning and go over them with a flat iron a couple times, then take your hair out and it should create the same effect. If you are going to use heat though, always use a good quality heat protect serum to prevent dry hair, breakage or split ends.
Always Look Awake:
Your eyes show the first signs of tiredness, so heres a few tips to look fresh:
- Use a white eyeshadow on your inner tear duct
- Use a white eyeliner on your lower waterline, and upper if you want
- Use concealer lighter than your skin tone to make your eyes look brighter
- Apply concealer in a triangle shape underneath your eyes to maximize the look
- Put a spoon in the fridge overnight and press it underneath your eyes in the morning to wake the skin
Smell Great All Day:
To increase ‘staying power’ with your perfume, place it in the critical areas: Behind your ears, the base of your throat, your wrists, behind the elbows and behind the knee. To make the scent last longer, place vaseline underneath where you will apply the perfume, and apply the perfume before getting dressed.
Quick Dry Nails:
I am forever smudging my nails before they dry, so to dry them quickly, dip your freshly painted fingernails in ice water to kind of freeze the nail polish idk I phrased that really badly lol.
So thats it for tihs blog, finished and nothing has gone wrong yay. I hope you guys enjoyed this because I didnt realise how long i’ve been sat here writing this for, but it was worth it.
Thank for reading, I hope this helped you in some way.
