1. always prep/prime your skin before applying makeup
First up is probably the most self-explanatory trick, but that is to prep/prime your skin before applying any form of makeup. The prep step before makeup being your skincare routine (making sure your skin is completely clean/moisturised before hand) and the prime step be to apply some form of primer cream or spray, by doing this your makeup will apply so much more smoothly, set better on the skin and last for a lot longer.
2. faking glowing skin
If you are like me and have normal to dry skin, that can need a little help more often than not to look dewy and glowing. By using a strobe cream underneath your makeup, such a the mac cosmetics strobe cream or my new favourite the mua prism strobe cream, by doing this you are giving the appearance of a "glow from within" which looks a lot more natural. Also ever since i have been using the strobe cream by MUA in the shade golden ray, i have had a ton of compliments on how healthy and glowing my skin looks. Another trick is to add in a little liquid highlighter with your foundation of choice.
3. crease-proofing your concealer
If you have a concealer that you love the coverage of but you find it sits a little into any fine lines of appears to crease on your under-eye area. Apply a small amount of your eye-cream with your concealer and this will keep the area extra hydrated/crease-free. Also by avoiding adding too much product (foundation) to the under-eye area, you aren't applying product on top of product therefore your under-eye is less likely to crease. Another tip is to set the under-eye area/concealer as soon as possible.
4. cleaning up your eyebrows with concealer
Another concealer related hack/trick, which is super simple and makes a big difference to the way your brows look. Simply fill in your brows as you normally would, then taking a small amount of concealer and a concealer brush (the morphe Y21 flat definer brush is my favourite) to tidy up the edges of your brows. By doing this you are not only just tidying them up but you are highlighting the brow bone area too, also make sure you set it into place with some translucent powder as you would your normal concealer.
5. how to get white teeth without using teeth whitening kits
Using a teeth whitening kit whether that be one with a light or strips, can be not only expensive but also you might not want to use anything too chemically based. A cheap and easy way i like to use is simply by brushing my teeth with my regular oral b 3d white luxe perfection toothpaste (which already keeps my teeth pretty white) but then i like to follow up with the oral b 3d white luxe whitening accelerator and by using this it just speeds the whitening process up, as well as protecting your teeth from new stains. It is literally as simple as that by brushing for 2 minutes with each toothpaste, twice a day!
6. even fake tan application
There is so many different hacks out there that claim to help you get "an even" fake tan application/finish and half of them do not work at all, all they do is complicate things and make it an even longer process. Keep things simple by exfoliating your body with either a body scrub, gloves or puff whilst in the shower to remove any left over tan from before and also any dead skin cells. Once out of the shower moisturise your body from head to toe, not forgetting your hands because that is where it tends to cling to dry areas the most. Finally make sure you apply your fake tan right before going to bed, this way you aren't going to need to wash your hands.
