Top 10 Makeup Tips That Always Work

By Emersen Adams

Whether you are new to applying makeup or consider yourself a pro, there are always new tricks and techniques you can use to enhance your beauty routine. We have compiled the ultimate list of makeup tips that will make your makeup application in the mornings easier and faster! Keep reading to find out.

These practical tips will help you achieve that flawless look you've always desired.

1. Mascara Wand For Your Eyebrows

You can use your mascara wand (if you do not have a plain spoolie brush) to sculp your eyebrows, by brushing your brows upwards for a fuller look. When you have time on your hands to fill in your eyebrows, your mascara wand can help you prep them and ensure the hairs are in the right place before you get started with your full makeup look. If you dont want to wash off your mascara wand though, that is understandable. We also have spoolie brush options, which you can find here.

To skip this step entirely, you can always go for professional quality at home eyebrow tinting. But if you’re new to DIY brow tinting that’s okay; we also have a guide on everything you need to know to have perfectly tinted brows every time.

2. Lip Color That Lasts  

No one likes lipstick that doesn’t last and needs to be constantly reapplied. A way to ensure your lipstick lasts all night is to put on your favorite lipstick, put a tissue over your mouth, and then dust translucent powder over the top of the tissue. This will help to set the lipstick and stop it from fading. And the tissue will protect the lipstick from becoming lighter from the powder.  

3. No Mascara Mess

So you’ve created the perfect eyeshadow look or smokey eyes, and then you put on your mascara, and oh no, the whole look is smudged! The tip here is to hold a spoon over your eyelid and then apply your mascara. There’s no chance of swiping your mascara over your masterpiece this way.

4. Revive Your Fav Mascara

Running out of your favorite mascara? Don’t worry there’s probably still a few uses left in there! Here’s a hack to make sure you get every little bit out.  Get a cup with some hot water and let your mascara tube sit in it while you do the rest of your makeup. If you don’t have time to wait, add a few drops of contact solution and this will help the mascara to apply easier to your lashes!  

 5. Curling Your Lashes

If you heat up your eyelash curler, you can curl them faster, and they will keep their shape for longer. This works the same way a hair curler would. Heated hair holds its form much easier, and for longer. So how do you do this? You can heat your curler with your blow dryer. Of course, you don’t want to burn your eyelid, so let it cool slightly or test it on your arm before clamping down your eyelashes and curling. If you don’t have a hair dryer though, or don’t want to pull it out in the mornings, no worries! For a faster and safer way to heat your eyelash curler, our PermaCurl Pro provides a better way to heat your traditional eyelash curler. Simply pop your traditional squeeze curler into the warming unit, and it will be the perfect temperature to curl in just a minute.

6. Get Model Cheekbones w/ Contour

Do you want a snatched face?  Here’s how to get cheekbones that will have you double take in the mirror. A viral hack on TikTok suggests applying your cream contour underneath your cheekbone instead of on top, for a more flawless and effective contour.  

7. No More Smudged Eyeliner

Eyeliner can be notorious for smudging or sweating off, but it is still such a widely used and fantastic product. So how can you use it better and stop the smudging? Simply pat some eyeshadow over it once you are finished applying it, and that will lock in the eyeliner and prevent the dreaded smudge.

8. Tightline With White Eyeliner

Tightlining is when you apply eyeliner right to the base of your lashes. Adding a white, or cream color will open your eyes and make you seem more awake. A dark liner can sometimes make your eyes appear smaller which might not be the look you’re going for.     

9. How To Quickly Perfect The Smokey Eye

The smokey eye is always a popular look, but it can take quite a while to blend by using many different eyeshadow shades. But to do it quickly, there is something called the hashtag hack that you can try out. Use an eye pencil to draw a slanted hashtag above the outer corners of your eyes and blend with a smudger tool. This will help you create that smokey eye with dark and light shades in all the right places.
