33 Beauty life hacks that you NEED to know.

Hey!
So I have been doing some research and testing and I have decided to share my results so here are 100 beauty life hacks!
By the way, this will take some time so get comfy!

  1. Contour with a spoon- Use the bowl of the spoon and align it where you put your contour and apply the contour
  2. Lemon + baking powder = White teeth- Mix 1 tsp of lemon juice with 1tsp of baking powder/baking soda and use it to brush your teeth you will instantly have whiter teeth.( Don't use it too often or it can damage your gums.)
  3. Red lipstick=No dark under eye circles- Rub in some red/dark orange lipstick around your eyes before your foundation and concealer and it massively reduces dark circles under your eyes.
  4. Normal lipstick to matte lipstick- After applying your lipstick put some powder over it and it will make it matte. Yay! twice as many colours! Unless they are already matte...
  5. Longer lasting lipstick- To make your lipstick last longer put some on your lips(obviously... you don't put it on your eyes!... oh wait...)put a tissue over your lips and then put some powder over the tissue.Take the tissue off and put some more lipstick on and it will last wayyyy longer.
  6.  Quick drying nails- To dry your nail varnish really quickly put your painted fingernails in cold water. Leave them there for a few mins and then take them out. Ta-da! Dry nails!
  7. Cheap dry shampoo- Instead of spending your money on expensive dry shampoo just use baby powder. However if you have dark hair then put it in the night before otherwise it looks really weird.
  8. Lighter armpits- Rub the inside part of half a potato on your armpits to make them lighter.
  9. Exfoliated lips- Brush your dry lips with your dry toothbrush to get rid of all of the dead skins and have smoother lips!
  10. Dry your hair with a cotton T-Shirt- For less frizzy hair dry your hair with a cotton T-shirt, I don't know how but this works great!
  11. Triangle concealer- So I'm sure you know about this life hack but when you put concealer around your eyes you draw(and fill in) a downwards triangle.
  12.  Cheap brush cleaner - Instead of spending money on expensive brush cleaners use baby shampoo. It works really well to take off the makeup and it very gentle so it won't harm your skin.
  13. Better natural eye-shadow- When you use natural eye-shadow colours it doesn't always stand out as much as you would like it to, to solve this put it on using your fingers instead of using a brush.
  14. Mix coffee grains and coconut oil for an exfoliator 
  15. Use a card to prevent your mascara going on your eye-shadow
  16. Smoother mascara- When your mascara or eyeliner goes clumpy put it in a bowl or mug of hot water for about 10 mins and it will make it a lot smoother.
  17.  Paint your nails with a PVA glue before glitter nail varnish so that when you need to take it off it is quick, easy and you have no leftover glittery bits.
  18. Put a green tea teabag (the teabag of green tea) over your chapped lips for 5 mins and they will be smooth and healthy.
  19. Use vaseline instead of shaving cream
  20. Before you put some perfume on rub in some vaseline on the places you wish to put the perfume on to make it last longer.
  21. Rub in some vaseline on your feet and wear socks for smooth feet. This must be done overnight.
  22. Mix body lotion and cocoa powder or coffee seeds for a cheap, easy fake tan
  23. Apply a white base for brighter nails.
  24. For a stronger hold hairspray booby pins/grips before putting them in your hair.
  25. Use concealer as an eye-shadow base.
  26. Put eyeliner on the inside of your eyelash curler
  27. If a bottle of nail varnish is hard to open wrap an elastic band around it so that you can grip it and open it easily.
  28. Warm up your eyelash curler for more defined eyelashes-  You can stick it in your bra while you do the rest of your make-up or you could warm it up with a hair dryer.
  29. Keep old mascara wands as you can re-use them.
  30. Use an eyebrow comb to separate clumpy lashes.
  31. Use lip-balm as eyebrow gel.
  32. Use 100% natural Greek yoghurt(yogurt) on blemishes.
  33. Use eye-shadow as eyebrow filler.
