From solving lipstick bleeding to perfecting your cat eye, these makeup hacks will save you both time and effort in front of the mirror. Ideal for beginners as well, as these tricks cover hair, skin and beauty hacks that will instantly boost their routines.

Clean Your Beauty Blender After Every Single Use

A Beauty Blender stands out among makeup sponges in that it requires special care when being used wet to help minimize product waste and deliver seamless blending and application for foundation, concealer, powder bronzer or blush applications. It is made of soft material designed to mimic skin-mimicking properties while remaining resilient enough for wet use – meaning less wasteful product usage and seamless results when applying foundation, concealer, powder bronzer and blush applications!

Unfortunately, this makes it easier for the sponge to soak up makeup products and bacteria from skin products and become contaminated with mold and acne-causing germs if left unused for too long.

There are many simple Beauty Blender hacks to keep your favorite sponge looking its best, starting with double-cleansing it using liquid soap and water. Begin by submerging it in a bowl of water, adding drops of liquid cleanser, then gently scrubbing with bar soap before rinsing off and leaving to dry fully before reuse.

Test the Lifespan of Your Mascara

At some point, even for makeup enthusiasts who take pride in their application of make up, mascara will come to an end. Like any product, it does have an expiration date; continuing to use past this point could cause eye infections, irritation and mold growth.

TikTok beauty gurus provide valuable tutorials on how to prolong our makeup. Whether it be how to apply mascara to hooded eyes or how to achieve that “clean girl” look, there are various techniques available that will keep us looking prim and proper all day long.

Narrow Down the Right Eyebrow Shape and Style

Be amazed at how much a difference having the appropriate eyebrow shape can make to your entire look. Too short or squinty eyebrows can diminish your whole appearance while too long ones may end up looking more like faux lashes than actual hair.

Good Housekeeping reports that certain eyebrow shapes will usually suit every facial structure imaginable, from those with rounder features like rounder eyebrows making their faces appear rounder to thin and sharply-angled arches that might lengthen and slim the jawline.

To determine your eyebrow shape, use a pencil and ruler to map it out by holding a horizontal line from one side of your nose to the inner corner of each eye, starting where the pencil hits your brow line and ending where it meets with forehead defines arch. When choosing an appropriate brow length, also take into account how shaped is brow bone is.

Observe Your Makeup in Different Lighting

Your face will encounter different lighting conditions throughout the day, and it is essential that you monitor how your makeup fares in each setting. Incandescent light may make you appear yellower while fluorescent lighting can accentuate fine lines more prominently; natural lighting provides optimal conditions to fully experience its benefits.
