These little makeup secrets that makeup artists know about can dramatically change your beauty routine. And the main thing is to do it very, very quickly. Read and Learn!
1. Apply blush on your eyelids!
If you need to quickly refresh your face using the minimum amount of products, this secret is for you! When you have only mascara and blush at hand, this is essentially all you need! When applying pink or peach blush to the apples of your cheeks, do not forget to touch the eyelids and the area under the eyebrows with the brush - this will instantly leave your eyes open and rested. You don't need any shadows!
2. Always soften the pencil with a lighter
This quick life hack from professional makeup artists will come in handy no matter what black pencil you're using. Let the lighter live in your cosmetic bag forever! Before you make up your eyes, hold the lead for a few seconds under an open flame - after that the pencil will become even softer and you can shade it into the haze as beautifully and thoroughly as possible. Profit!
3. Sponge + oil
If you have dry skin, applying foundation can be a problem. To forget about it, don't use brushes, but buy a sponge like Beautyblender. Before using, do not wet it with water, but soak it in a special oil for the face. However, for this purpose, coconut will also do. The “oily” sponge will help you to flawlessly apply the tone even on dry and flaky skin.
4. Apply concealer to the wings of the nose and the bridge of the nose
When you mask dark spots under the eyes with a corrector, do not forget about the other two problem areas - where the wings of the nose end, and the bridge of the nose closer to the corners of the eyes. The skin in these places is often different in color, and a little life will allow you to discreetly make your makeup a little better. By the way, all professional makeup artists do this.
5. Hairspray instead of eyebrow wax
You don't have to buy a special gel or wax to make your eyebrows look perfect and combed. Just turn on the brush with which you will comb the hairs. Sprinkle it with hairspray and quickly rub it over your eyebrows until it dries.
6. Get two tonal products
This life hack was once shared on her blog by the famous Lisa Eldridge, creative director of makeup for Lancome. And we think he is a genius! The bottom line is to use two foundations for the perfect make-up, always the same shade. You need to have a dense tone that is applied exclusively to problem areas - for example, around the mouth (the skin in this area often requires correction) or in the area of redness. And the second foundation, a light fluid or serum, is for the rest of the face, where no major correction is required. This secret will make your skin look as natural as possible!
7. Quickly make your moisturizing matte lipstick
Matte lipsticks are in vogue, but alas, even the highest quality lipsticks dry your lips. There is a much simpler and more pleasant solution. Use your usual moisturizing lipstick by applying blush on top of it! With a fluffy brush. Powder is not suitable for this purpose, it will only "eat" the color, but the blush will look perfect - try it.
8. Use your regular hair donut to clean your brushes!
An ingenious secret. Whether you're doing colorful makeup or blending in different shades of eyeshadow, you don't have to change your brushes every time. A regular hair donut comes in handy for a quick clean from your brush of dry products! Yes, yes, the one with which we make bundles. It costs only 50 rubles, but it works with a bang. Just brush over it - even after using dark shadows, you can apply light shadows with the same tool. Wow!
nine. Sunscreen instead of a primer
Let's reveal the secret: it is not at all necessary to buy a primer (aka make-up base) if you have a sunscreen for your face. After the vacation, he probably stayed! It always contains titanium dioxide (fear not, it is a harmless mineral), which gives the skin a light, subtle and healthy glow. It is possible that after that you do not even want to apply tone, but confine yourself to only powder.
10. Beige pencil - base for everything
Base under the eyeshadow or a means for fixing lipstick - no need to buy anything extra, just "start" one pale beige pencil in your cosmetic bag. Soft. Better the one for the lips. You can safely paint over the entire movable eyelid with them before applying shadows - the oily base of the pencil will not allow them to crumble. Use the same pencil as a lip primer - the lipstick will not spread.
