List of 5 pro beauty tips are.................
1. Use lip pencil insted of Lipstick for long-lasting color
Tired of continually having to re-apply your lipstick throughout the day? Consider using a lip liner instead! Lip pencils are fairly dry, and therefore, tend to last much longer than traditional lipsticks. Start by simply lining your lips and then turn the pencil on its side to continue filling in the rest of your lips. Voila—your lip color will last for hours without having to reapply! Super serious about your lipstick’s longevity? Go one step further by applying a coat of lipstick on top of your filled in lips to increase staying power and color intensity.
2. Brighten the eyes with a light conceler and soft dome brush
Sleep? What’s that? After a long day of work or school, you’re bound to be rocking some dark/heavy eye circles. If you plan on going out in the evening (or anytime, really!), a quick and easy fix is to apply a lightweight concealer (we love Maybelline Fit Me concealer) under the eyes and blend it out with a soft dome brush. You’ve probably heard that you should never apply liquid over powder, but we’ve found that it can work as long as you apply the concealer in a very thin layer. Be sure to set the concealer with a pressed powder and flat sponge—we’re big fans of Maybelline Dream Matte powder. Hello, bright eyes!
3. Contour with pressed power that’s 3 shades darker than your skin tone
This next tip is beyond simple, yet often overlooked. You can use a pressed powder that’s three shades darker than your skin tone to contour! Many brands don’t make contour powders, and since pressed powders are so accessible (and usually pretty affordable!), this trick makes it easy to find your perfect contour shade. To apply, take your Makeup Geek Angled Stippling Brush and sweep the pressed powder just under your cheekbones. Be sure to blend for a soft and wearable look.
4. Apply face powder over the top of your lipstick to create a matte finish
Matte lips has undoubtedly been one of 2014’s most prevalent trends. So what’s a girl to do when her favorite lip colors aren’t matte (insert a sad song on a tiny violin here)? Take a very thin sheet of facial tissue and place it on top of your lips. Next, dust any translucent face powder on top of the tissue with a fluffy face brush. A light layer of powder will transfer through to your lips to create an instant matte finish. Problem solved!
5. Fix“oompa loompa” face by blending darker foundation down your neck
We’ve all run into the orange face dilemma at one point or another (all of high school, anyone?) and although it’s unsightly, it’s easily remedied. With a beauty blender and your too-dark foundation, blend the shade down your neck. The key is to fade the color as you go, otherwise you trade the mismatched line around your jaw for a mismatched line around your neck. You can even dab a bit of foundation onto your décolletage to further blend out harsh lines. In the future, find a lighter foundation and custom mix it with your darker foundation to create your perfect match.
Ahack isn't really a hack if it requires a significant amount of your time—and during our morning routine rush, just one minute qualifies as "significant." This is why we tend to favor the tips makeup artists swear by when they're throwing exquisite looks together backstage at fashion week when time is of the essence but quality can't be spared. Every time we observe these geniuses at work, it's a reminder that a polished beauty look and spending just a few minutes in the makeup chair are not mutually exclusive.
But sometimes we also need reminding that we don't have to apply makeup for a living to borrow these face-changing, time-saving tricks. Case in point: these 14 expert-approved tips that take mere seconds to put in action, but make a world of difference.
List of 5 second makeup tips.......
Prime Your Lashes With Brow Gel
Bonus points if the product you're using is specifically advertised for both, but swiping on a thin layer of any kind of clear brow gel is a really easy way to define and extend lashes before adding mascara. The result: an ultra-lush clump-free fringe.
Sweep Eye Shadow Along Your Lower Lash Line for a Polished, Wide-Awake Look
Instead of lining your lower lash line with pencil, which can make eyes look smaller, consider sweeping a sheer layer of light brown or taupe eyeshadow along your bottom lids instead: It instantly makes your eyes look wider and more awake, helps under-eye concealer look seamless by hiding any creasing, and adds a professional-looking touch to your eye makeup overall.
Use Concealer Around Your Nose. (Seriously, Do It.)
It seems so random, but using concealer around your nostrils is like an Instagram filter for your face IRL: By effectively making your nasolabial folds disappear, you immediately brighten up your face in a way that covering up your dark circles can't. (It's the kind of game-changing hack that you'll wish you had known for many a photo op past.) Celeb makeup artist Fabiola recommends using a pea-sized amount concealer, and make sure you blend well.
Don't Skip the Blush
Especially if you usually just highlight your cheekbones, cheek color can seem like an unnecessary afterthought. But makeup artist Matin, who works with Claire Danes, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Angelina Jolie, says not to skimp on it—a bright blush provides an instantaneous, healthy-looking glow, and prevents you from looking washed out. (Just make sure you know where to apply it according to your face shape!)
1. for applying foundation like a makeup artist
Don't just use foundation. Instead, mix it with your favorite serums, creams, and/or primers for a custom, seamless-looking finish that will keep your skin looking hydrated and glowy all day long. You can blend your formulas of choice before applying, or take Kelsey Dennihan's approach (she works with Kate Bosworth and Cindy Crawford): "I dab a bit of Egyptian magic on the cheeks, nose and forehead and follow with foundation as usual," she says. "There's no quicker way to achieve realistically dewy skin."
An Eyelash Curler Is "Like a Bra for Your Eyes
So says Kira Nasat, who works with Gwyneth Paltrow, Jamie Chung, and Margot Robbie. "It really takes five seconds (or less) and many people tend to skip this step," she adds. "Plus, most people who curl their lashes end up using less mascara, which means more natural-looking lashes."
Brush up Your Eyebrow "Sprouts" for Cara-Worthy Arches
You know those slightly unruly-looking hairs at the front of your eyebrows? Playing them up rather than combing them back (or worse, tweezing them away—don't do it!) is the quickest to give yourself that very natural, "virgin brow" look. Use a tinted gel for even more oomph.
Use Blush or Orange-Ish Eyeshadow to Warm up Your Eyes
A "no makeup" makeup tip: Even if you're not going for a full eyeshadow look, just brush on a sheer layer of coral-hued powder to add a touch of warmth to your eyes and cancel out any blueish tones that are making you look tired.
Tackle Your Lashes From Every Angle to Coat Them Evenly
Most of us just brush on mascara from the bottom of our lashes out, but Byrdie editors Lindsey and Deven make a good point: You're not coating them evenly unless you're also using the mascara wand above your lashes, too. Brush from the bottom out, and then from the top out to reach your full lash potential.
Use Concealer Strategically for an Instant Eye Lift
And that means going beyond just your under-eyes. Nasrat likes cream concealer as an eyelid primer for eye shadow, and Dennihan swears by this genius trick: "When I'm tired and need a quick pick-me-up, I place concealer on the outer corners of my eyes and blend up toward the end of the eyebrow. The end effect is an instant eye-lift and tricks people into thinking you're actually awake."
Use a Nude Pencil Along Your Waterline Instead of a White One
It'll still open up your eyes a ton, but it looks more natural.
Use a Highlighting Pen to Fake a Bigger Pout
Adding highlighter or shimmery white eye shadow to your cupid's bow is a classic trick, but I like to take it a step further by lining my entire top lip with Touche Éclat, extending that line up into my cupid's bow as well. I dab with my finger until the line looks blended in, and either leave it at that or add a swipe of nude lip liner for good measure. By highlighting the entire lip, the light catches it in a way that makes it look more pillowy but still very natural.
(Dabbing Bronzer Below Your Lower Lip Amps It Up, Too.)
You're emphasizing the shadow below your pout, which creates the illusion of a thicker lip.
Dabbing Highlighter Around the Eyes Makes for an Instant Pick-Me-Up
Byrdie editor Faith swears by applying a bit of shimmery highlighter to the inner corners of her eyes whenever she's feeling tired. Sweeping it along the brow bones has a similar effect.
