What are the most useful makeup tips and tricks?

You need to look at your makeup stash and start to think of all the masterpieces you can create with it. What if I tell you that your eyeshadow palette can also be used to create a lot more than just adding color to your eyelids? To let you in on some tricks, make sure that your cat eyes or wings are on fleek. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or even a pro at makeup; tips and hacks always come in handy. It’s a smart way to get your money’s worth by using the same product in multiple ways.

Here are a few useful tips and tricks you can try with makeup:

1.      Melt the pencil liner to help it glide

It is a fact that creamy makeup products always blend better when they’re warmed up. So, if the kohl eyeliner pencil skips or tugs on the eyelid or takes multiple coats for a decent color payoff. Then maybe melting it down slightly before will help with the lining. In order to do so, hold the tip of your kohl liner under the flame of a lighter for just a few seconds until it gets tacky. Let it cool off slightly, then watch the consistency change.

2.      Use of neutral shadows to accent the eyes

Natural hues, like warm tones for dark eyes, cool tones for light eyes don’t fail. There is also no need to do the whole contour deal. But the pale, shimmery shadow on the lids can also add sparkle to the tired eyes, a medium shade in the crease, or just above it can erase any kind of fleshy overhand which can make the eyes appear larger, and the darkest browns and charcoals work as a smoky topcoat for your gel eyeliner in order to soften the look or hide squiggles. You can use brands like Lakme eyeshadows to highlight your eyes.

3.      Use white eyeliner in order to make the eyeshadow pop

Now you can make a sheer or less pigmented eyeshadow appear more vibrant on the eyelid. Blend a white eyeliner pencil over the entire eyelid first. Put your eyeshadow right on top. The opaque coverage will also intensify any eyeshadow shade pop.

4.      Opt for glow and brightness

Face makeup can help in restoring the radiance as well as providing a healthy look. Try to go for warmer shades or more golden shades instead of a perfect match to counteract sallow, pasty, ashy skin and neutralize redness or rosacea. Choose a foundation with the word “luminous” in the product name which ensures light-reflecting technology that can give your complexion an incandescent bloom. Lastly, choose a dewy and sheer but highly pigmented grownup foundation and try to get over the not-wearing-makeup thing.

5.      Know your focal points

This hack is for those days when you are running late or just feeling too lazy to apply your concealer properly. Just dab on a little concealer, most preferably with a brush under your eyes, on the corners of the mouth, near your nose, and then you are good to go. Lakme 9 to 5 concealers are best for all Indian skin tones.
