7 Make-up Tricks to Make Any Girl Look More Beautiful in Minutes ...

Eliza Jul 20, 2015

Imagine turning even more heads than you already do and looking even more fabulous and only having to spend a few extra minutes on your routine. Could anything be better? If you want to retain your same basic look, but take it to another level, using some of these tips and tricks is going to change your life. Incorporate the ones you love and skip the ones you don’t, and you’ll always look as perfect as you can.

1. Dry Your Polish in Minutes so You Don’t Have Unsightly Smudges

Nothing makes me madder than taking the time to give myself a manicure, only to wind up with marks, bubbles and smudges because it takes so long to dry. Ensure that you have the most beautiful nails around by drying them instantly. All you have to do is hold your nails in a bowl of ice water for three minutes. It might be a tad uncomfortable, but we’re talking wet to dry in less than five minutes!

2. Revitalize Your Mascara with a Couple Drops of Visine

Tired of clumpy mascara making your eyelashes look less than perfect? If you have some Visine handy, add a couple drops and use the mascara wand to mix it in. This will thin your mascara so it goes on lovely and smooth each and every time. Of course, if the mascara is more than 6 months old, toss it and buy a new tube.

3. Exfoliate Your Lips with a Toothbrush before Lipstick

This magical little trick will ensure that your lipstick lasts for hours without smudging or disappearing altogether. Use a soft baby toothbrush to gently scrub your lips. This will remove dead skin cells and leave your with a clear palette for applying your lipstick. You can also use a mixture of olive oil and sugar to further exfoliate. It only takes a minute or two and you will love the results.

4. Line Your Lower Water Line with White Liner

The water line is the area just above where your eyelashes attach to your skin. Line it with white eyeliner and you instantly look more awake and give the illusion of having larger eyes. Black, on the other hand, makes your eyes look smaller. This step won’t take any extra time, but you’ll notice the difference right away.

"Enhancing your beauty doesn't always mean going for the glossy look. More ladies now see the allure of a shine-free finish. With the right tools and techniques, you can also achieve a flawless, subtle glow. Learn how to master this trend by following these incredible matte makeup tutorials. Enhance your natural complexion without the unnecessary flash."

5. Heat Your Eyelash Curler with Your Blow Dryer before Use

A heated eyelash curler does a better job of giving your lashes the curved shape you crave. Just like your curling iron works better when it’s hot. Blast it with the blow dryer for about 5 seconds just before curling and you’ll see a big difference in how your lashes look.

6. Apply Foundation and Powder Using a Downward Motion

The experts say that applying your make-up with downward strokes keeps the fine hair on your face from sticking up and out, which makes it way more noticeable. You should always use upward strokes for lotion to prevent wrinkles though. Easy enough, right?

7. Make Your Lipstick Last with a Tissue and Translucent Powder

I think we’re all on a quest to have long lasting lipstick. Here’s a trick from make-up artists that can really help. Once you have your lipstick in place, press a tissue to it, and then dust powder over the tissue. Remove the tissue and you have the perfect look. It’s a bit of a matte finish and the powder helps hold the lipstick in place.

Nice one

Foundation always apply in an upward motion and to make foundation more flawless i use #Sonicblend make up.

The best nail tip I know I learned from a friend who worked at a nail salon: Paint your nails thin layers and wait until they dry entirely before doing another!! It will feel like more work but they dry sooo much faster. 

I do the tissue one everyday, but you won't really need powder. Just press a little and viola, matte, dry, long lasting, kissable lips.

Yes 💕

My makeup artist has always used an upward motion when applying foundation to prevent premature wrinkles and future

The mascara trick really work!

Love this article!

Cool tips thanks

Actually you aren't supposed to dip your nails in ice water because using scientific explanation, cold things will cause it to contract and become smaller and also apparently, it causes bubbles
