Beauty Tricks We’re Thankful For
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so it’s time to give thanks to these life-changing beauty tips and tricks. If you want to get a flawless look on the first try, these tricks are here to save the day!
Get the Perfect Brow Everytime!
Imagine this: You already perfected your complexion and you go to fill in your brows. Before you know it, you’ve overdrawn them and they look like a sloppy mess! Wiping off the excess with makeup remover will ruin all the hard work you already did on your face, so what do you do? When you’re applying your makeup, start with eyebrows. Simply fill in your brows with powder, pomade, pencil, or whatever you like to use, and then clean up the mistakes with a concealer that matches your skin tone. I like to do this by outlining my brows with the concealer. After blending, apply your foundation as normal for mess-free perfect brows.
Forget Fallout!
There’s nothing worse than having specks of black eyeshadow all over your face after creating the smoky eye of your dreams. Luckily, there’s a quick fix to this problem. When creating a dramatic look, apply your eyeshadow before your foundation. This way, you can simply wipe off any fallout with a makeup wipe (or clean up the edges and create sharp lines) without messing up any work you’ve already done. Then apply your foundation as normal, and get ready to slay.
Print No More!
After working really hard on an eye look, the last thing you want is mascara all over your eyelids, but how do you stop this from happening? Do your lower lashes first. This way, when you look up to get the mascara into the root of your lower lashes, there is no product on the upper lashes to smudge on the lid. After your lower lashes are defined to your liking, then go for the upper lashes, leaving your eyeshadow mascara-free.
Bust Breakage!
Are you tired of your hair splitting and breaking when you brush it? Try brushing your hair from tip to root. Start by brushing the bottom portion of your hair to remove the tangles there first. Then brush from the middle section to the tips to remove the tangles there. Continue this until you reach your roots. You’ll be tangle- and damage-free in no time.
Spot-free Smile!
Nothing ruins a cute picture faster than a glob of lipstick right on your teeth. Prevent this from happening by taking a clean finger and closing your lips around it. Remove your finger with your lips puckered and you should have a ring of lipstick on your hand. That’s all lip product that would have been on your teeth. Simply wash your hands and you’re good to go.
Your face will surely thank you for using these tips, so don’t forget them when you’re getting ready for Thanksgiving!
