I love trying new beauty trends but they are not all created equal! Meaning, they may not work for specific skin types and needs. So, I’ve compiled a list of makeup tips + tricks I’ve learned over the years as a beauty professional that I’ve found to be versatile.
Makeup Tips + Tricks
– Apply finishing powder only on the places that get oily. This usually happens in the t-zone. Putting too much powder on, or in areas that don’t need it can cause a cakey finish. Or worse, it can cling to dry patches- nope!
– Line only 2/3 of your top and bottom lids. Lining your entire top and bottom lash line, especially with a dark color, actually closes your eye off, making it look smaller.
– Twist your mascara wand instead of pumping it in the tube! Pumping it in and out can cause the mascara to dry out.
– Use a skin color concealer under your eyes. I know it’s all about highlighting your face right now, but using too light of a shade can actually intensify the dark circles. Your under-eye skin is very thin, so applying a concealer to cover first, and then a light shade to brighten can cause some serious creasing, be careful with that too.
– Use liner to fill in your entire lip before applying your lip color. This will increase the longevity of the product as well as create a fuller more defined lip.
Hopefully, some of these will work for you. If nothing else, it’s always fun to play with makeup and try something new!
