5 DIY Beauty Hacks That Are Borderline Genius

1. Keep Lipstick Off Teeth

Lipstick on the teeth has plagued women for centuries. Nobody likes to smile and find out that they have red all along their pearly whites. A great way to avoid this is to simply wipe your lips from the inside out. After you finish applying your lipstick, just stick your finger in your mouth and pull it out. Remember making those “popping” noises when you were a kid? This is the same thing. Your finger will wipe away the excess lipstick and leave your teeth shiny white.

                                         

2. White Eye Shadow Makes Eyes Stand Out

White eye shadow is a great choice if you really want your eyes to stand out. You just have to layer your lid with white eye shadow and then add the colors that you want. The white will also keep those other colors from rubbing off before the end of the day and you can even add white to the top of the lid by the brow to really make your eyes pop.

 

3. Use Mascara as Eye Liner

If you have run out of eye liner and you are in a hurry, you can use your mascara instead. Just rub an eye liner brush over the mascara brush and then line your eyes. This works well if your mascara is the same color as the eye liner that you typically use and even if it’s not, it will help you to get your eyes lined in a pinch. The mascara will wash off your eye lids just like it does off your lashes.

 

4. Apply Concealer in a Triangle Shape

Concealing dark circles and bags under your eyes is much easier when you apply concealer properly. Instead of dotting on concealer in the pattern of your eyes, apply it in a triangle shape. Just dot it on under your eyes and blend downward in the triangle shape. It will perfectly cover up those dark circles and bags and give you the look that you want.

 

5. Make Your Own Gel Eyeliner

Gel eyeliner is a great way to make your eyes look smoldering and gel tends to last longer than traditional eyeliner pencils. If you notice that your eyeliner rubs off or smudges before the end of the day, you can use gel eyeliner in its place. The problem is that gel eyeliners can be a bit more expensive than pencils. So, just make your own. You just have to take a lighter and carefully heat the end of any eyeliner pencil to create gel eyeliner that looks great and will last all day. Via –  

 

Fresh Eye Look for the Summer

Looking fresh and natural should be one of your top priorities in the summer. Of course, a small part of us like a “naked” look with no makeup, so here is an idea of how to keep a fresh appearance with a little emphasizing on the eyes.

• Apply a little brown eyeshadow on the top line of your eyelid.
• Draw a slight line with black eyeliner.
• Fill it and make it a little wider with a little pin-up wing finish on the outer part of the eye.

 

See? Just for a minute you have a fresh, yet not too dark eye makeup!

Bold Eye – Vibrant Lip Makeup

Like in fashion, rules in makeup should not be considered. The bolder and wilder you are, the more successful you might be in expressing yourself. Many times we have heard that if you are doing a strong eye makeup, you should do a nude lip, and the other way around too: red lipstick does not go with black smoky eyes. That has changed! You can do both a strong eye and lip and look fashionable and stylish in the same time. Here is one idea:

• With the help of a very small thin brush, apply a dark eyeliner contour from the inner end of your eye to its outside.
• Using brush and a colorful liquid eyeliner or an eyeshadow, draw a brightly colored line over the black one. Make it thicker and longer than the basic one.
• Now do a bold lip in bright red!

Adding color to your makeup routine and being crazier with it is not a bad thing and the best time to do it is definitely summer!

Cat Eye Tips

The cat eye eyeliner has many different techniques and interpretations, we all know that. As it is one of the most popular eyeliner, that is absolutely normal. Personally, I begin with drawing the line over the eyelid, but in the picture below we have a starting point from the cat eye line.

So, let’s get started! You begin drawing the line in the corner of your eyes by placing two dots and afterwards connecting them. Then you repeat the step until you are completely satisfied with the result.

Lastly, you just fully finish your eyeliner and voila! You now have a gorgeous eyeliner.

Get Rid of The Chin Hair

It’s happening sometimes and we are not guilty for having nasty genes. Some of us have a little bit more of facial hair. More than needed. But there is a safe haven – homemade sugar wax for with will help you to get rid of that hairs. You will notice that after a few uses the hair won’t grow anymore. Check it out:

• Mix two teaspoons of granulated sugar and one teaspoon each of honey and water.
•  Heat the mixture in a microwave for about half a minute until it bubbles and turns brown. Let it cool.
• Apply it on the areas where you have hairs with a spatula.
• Place a cloth strip over the sugar wax and smooth it out with your fingers in the direction of the hair growth.
• Rip it off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
• Repeat as needed. 
• Remember not to apply any cosmetics after that procedure. Just wash your face with warm water. You can apply cream the day after.
