12 Makeup Tips That Every Girl Should Know!

#1 Eye drops for mascara

We all hate it when our silky smooth expensive mascara gets clumpy. Next time this happens, instead of throwing it out, get any kind of eye drops like visine and put 2 to 3 drops in your mascara. After you do that, shake it up and boom! Silky smooth mascara again!

#2 Exfoliate your lips for smooth looking lipstick

No one likes those fine lines on the lips that pop up when we have lipstick on for a while. Well I have a solution! Exfoliate! Use a some of your favorite sugar, oil, and a drop of honey for your lip scrub. Afterwards, scrub it on your lips with a toothbrush, and lick it off!

#3 The plastic spoon

Admit it. When we apply mascara, we always end up getting it somewhere on our face. Next time you apply mascara, use a plastic spoon for your lower lashes and upper lashes. Simply hold the plastic spoon under the lashes you’re about to apply mascara to !

#4 The nude eyeliner

Sometimes we want to make our eyes stand out. Sadly, not all of us know how. Luckily, I know how to do just that! Invest in a white or nude eyeliner. You can buy one for a dollar at e.l.f. Line your eyes with the nude or white eyeliner for the illusion of bigger eyes. Apply a dark mascara for a more dramatic look!

#5 Bake your makeup for under $5

Not all of us can afford Bobbi Brown banana powder or other name brand setting powders. I have a simple alternative for a setting powder that makes your makeup look just as flawless! Use cornstarch! Seriously! You can find it at any supermarket or convenience store. Use it as you normally would to set your make up or ‘bake’ your makeup.

#6 The eyelash curler secret

Get the most out of your eyelash curler by pinching your lashes at the base and then lifting your curler to the inverted position. By doing this, you’ll get double the curl, double the length, and it’ll last double the time!

#12 The mascara wand

       Mascara wands aren’t just for mascara. When your mascara runs out, save the wand and clean it to use for your eyebrows!
