Make lipstick last longer with a translucent powder and a tissue.

After applying lipstick, place a tissue over your lips. Dust it off with the powder and it will stay longer than before.

Plump your lashes with baby powder.

First, apply the first coat of mascara. Then dust lashes with the baby powder, let it dry and stick a bit. Then add another coat. Repeat the process until you reach your desired effect. The powder grips the mascara in between the coats. The result will be fuller lashes.

Heat up your eyelash curler with your hair drier for curlier eyelash.

A heated eyelash curler will make the lash curl stay longer. The whole curling process is easier too. Just make sure it’s not too hot to handle or you may get burned. Clamp on lashes and you’re good to go.

Use a spoon for smudge-free mascara application.

Hold a spoon and let the curve hug your eyelid. Apply the mascara sweeping up. The smudge will go right to the spoon and not on your lids. Repeat the process in your lower lids. An alternative to the spoon is an index card, or credit cards that cut in eyelash-shaped indentation.

Use a spoon to perfect your winged eyeliner.

Many of us dream of that perfect winged liner, but it’s a feat that takes lots of effort and frustration to achieve. Smudge and unstable application is your best enemy when it comes to the use of liquid eyeliners. So instead, use the stem of the spoon to create a straight line starting at the outer corner of your eye. Then flip the spoon and use the curved part to create the curved wing effect. Fill in the rest and it’s done!

Make white eyeliners as base to make eye shadow pop.

A white base will bring out the colour of your eye shadow. The color will be intensified and will look great. Plus it will bring out the real colour of the eye shadow which is impossible if you put straight to no-base lids.

Heat pencil eyeliner to make a gel liner.

Gel liner gives a more intense look compared to everyday eyeliners. So to attain this intense smudge, heat your eyeliner pencil (the tip only), let it cool for 15 seconds, and apply it.

Apply perfume at specified body parts to make it last longer

These areas where perfume may last longer includes the place behind your ear, inside wrists, at the base of the throat, inside the elbow and behind the knee.

Use an elastic band to create a perfect nail tips.

You probably heard of it by now but let me say it again. There’s nothing more convenient than an elastic band for a perfect tips. Simply wrap the band around your nails, make it taut, pull it around your finger, leave an exact space or nail length you want your tip to be. Paint it the color you want and its done.

Use hair conditioner when hair shaving cream runs out.

Hair conditioner may work just fine in replacing shaving creams. Say you want to shave your legs? Just take the right amount of conditioner, lather it in and shave. It has the right consistency as shaving cream plus it can leave your legs soft and smooth.

Use your straightening iron to press your shirt collars.

Instead of taking out the ironing board and the flat iron, you can use your hair straightening iron to cover for your shirt collars. Easy right?

Secure your nail polish bottles with rubber bands for easier opening once they’ve tighten due to dried polish in the cap.

Sometimes nail polish may tend to dry out in the cap and may make the whole polish bottle hard to open. So for a trick, wrap rubber bands around it and twist. The rubber band will provide the grip.
