I wanted to share with you my top 10 make up tips, which have been tried and tested by me!
Most of these I use on a daily basis. I hope they help!
1. Give your skin a dewy glow by adding a few drops of facial oil into your foundation, which will not only hydrate the face but also give you a smoother application and an even finish.
2. Always wait for at least 30 seconds after applying glue to false lashes. The more tackier it is, the easier it will apply and will not slide around when putting them on.
3. If you have an eye shadow which lacks pigment, spray your eye shadow brush with a setting spray, such as Mac Fix Plus, to enhance the colour and to make it last longer.
4. For soft, plump lips always use a lip scrub before applying your lipstick. A great one to use is the Bubblegum Lip Scrub from Lush, which removes all of the dead skin and gives your lipstick an even finish, and also enables it to last longer throughout the day.
5. To turn a pencil eye liner into a gel liner hold it under a flame for 1 second, then let it cool down for 15 seconds, and you will then have an intense black colour, which will also be easier to apply as it is much softer.
6. Use a cotton bud to remove any mistakes, such as any blobs of mascara. Always make sure the mascara is dry before removing so it does not smudge on the face.
7. Use sellotape on the corners of the eyes when doing winged eye liner as it gives you a guide to achieve a precise line and is so much easier to draw on than doing it free hand!
8. Use a white or nude eye liner colour on the waterline, it will make the eyes appear brighter and wider.
9. If you get foundation on your clothes, apply shaving cream onto the stain and then wash as normal, it will be as good as new!
10. If you are going on holiday and want to save space, or even if you forget your eye shadows, use your bronzer or contour powder as a substitute for the crease colour and your highlighter as an all over lid colour.
