Makeup tips and treatment by listotic.com
21. Downward Strokes
Although
you want to wash your face and apply your moisturizer with upwards
strokes to help lessen fine lines and a sagging face, the opposite is
true for foundation and powder. Most of us have a little bit of hair on
our face, and it tends to grow downwards. If you apply your makeup with
upward strokes, it will cause your “peach fuzz” to stick strait up,
making it more noticeable.
22. Eyebrows & Face Shape
A
lot of us ignore our eyebrows (or have over plucked them into
non-existence) not realizing how important they are in defining our
face. There isn’t one shape that is the best, it really just depends on
your unique facial features and shape. Just like contouring, your
eyebrow shape and thickness can help soften your face shape.
23. DIY Tinted Moisturizer
This
works just as well as a B&B cream, hiding imperfections with a
really natural look; simply mix your favorite facial moisturizer with a
little bit of concealer. This way you can customize it with just the
right amount of coverage.
24. Instant Eye Lift
This
quick and easy illusion will give you an instant eye life. Draw an arch
directly above your eyebrow with your favorite highlighter, and blend
with your finger. This makes your arch look raised, making the whole eye
area look like it’s been lifted.
25. Wash & Save Your Wands
Instead
of tossing them in the trash when your mascara expires, wash and
repurpose those wands! You can use them as an eyebrow brush, even
applying a bit of color before sweeping across your brows. Or, spray
with hairspray and use them to brush and keep your eyebrows in place.
26. Clump-Free Lashes
It
may seem like a waste, but if you want clump-free lashes (so hard to
achieve, right?!) , you have to wipe your mascara wand off on a tissue
before each application. This way you can apply several coats
seamlessly.
27. Blemish Secret
Instead
of using that bulky tube of concealer to cover your blemishes, rub a
bit of it on an eyeliner brush for more precise control.
28. Soften The Line
Although
I like liquid liner and it’s ability to really define the eyes, I’m not
really a fan of the harshness of it. And, if it’s not applied
perfectly, imperfections really stand out. To soften the look, sweep a
metallic brown shadow over the liner. This not only diminishes the
hard-line, but also helps hide imperfections.
29. Make It Last
Keep
those lips kissable by sealing the deal. After your lipstick is
applied, hold a tissue over your lips and apply powder over the tissue.
This creates a matte look that lasts much longer.
30. False Eyelash 101
If
you’ve ever attempted this beauty-aid, you know that it can be quite
trying! But, false eye lashes can bring your look from drab to fab in
just a few patient minutes, and is definitely worth the time for special
occasions. The key is knowing how to apply them from the get-go,
otherwise your frustration will prevail.
31. The 3-D Lip Effect
So
simple and stunning! Use your finger to stamp a little bit of frosted
blush or eye shadow to the center of your bottom and top lip.
32. When To Toss It Out
As
much money as we spend on our beauty products, it’s hard to let it go,
but at some point your makeup becomes unhealthy for your skin and eyes.
This is especially true for anything that gets applied around your eyes,
so it’s important to give your makeup drawer a good clean out every
once in a while.
