Hack #1

Drawing my eyebrows on every single day can feel long and tedious so I like to tint them at home, once in a while, to make them darker and fuller. This shade “dark brown” tints my brows within 2 minutes and lasts up to 6 weeks!

Hack #2

On top of my freshly applied foundation, I like to apply a mixture of my cream blush and lip gloss. Gently tap on the skin using fingers for a glass skin like effect and of course, I apply it on my lips too! You could even apply it on your eyelids for a blushed look.

Hack #3

I’ve seen this viral eyeshadow hack everywhere! You swipe on a few different eyeshadows onto your eyelids and then blend. Easy as that! I like to use matte eyeshadows first and it always blends into this unique new shade. Then apply a shimmery eyeshadow in the centre or the inner corners. Looks like I’ve spent a lot of time on my eye makeup when in fact I’ve done it within minutes!

Hack #4

We all love false eyelashes but unfortunately, they don’t seem to love us! It can be difficult to put on - especially if you’re a beginner and it can be uncomfortable - if worn incorrectly. Start cutting your lash band in half as it’s much easier and quicker to apply this way. It’s also very comfortable on the eyes and the great thing about this hack is that no one will be able to tell that you’ve cut them in half!
