Whether you're a legit beauty pro or a total newb, few makeup tips are always good to know. Like, why struggle with your cat eye or contour when there are so many easy hacks to make the process smoother. We found out a few makeup tips and tricks of all time, including when (and where) to apply concealer, how to finally perfect your winged eyeliner, and so much more. So grab your makeup bag and that one product you never learned how to use.

1.Apply your foundation before concealer

The easiest way to level up your makeup routine is to try applying your foundation before concealer. Starting with a layer of foundation will help minimize any redness or discoloration.

You can then go in with your concealer to spot treat any zits or remaining redness, and you'll end up using way less product in the process.

2.Exfoliate your lips before applying lipstick

Remember when you applied lipstick and did not look smooth? Try a gentle lip scrub, the physical exfoliation will help remove dry skin, leaving you with a smoother, softer lips. But don't overdo it or you might be left with irritated skin.

3.Use a spoon as a stencil for winged liner

Not everyone is good with freehand drawing. Grab a spoon and use it as a stencil. Holding the stem of a spoon against the outer corner of your eye, use a liquid eyeliner to draw a straight line as the first step for your cat eye. Then, flip the spoon so it’s hugging your eyelid, and use the rounded outer edge to create a perfectly curved winged effect.

4.Use a spoon as a mascara shield

Tired of making your eyeshadow look perfect, and then swiping on mascara and ruining the whole thing with smudges? Hold a spoon so it's hugging your eyelid, then apply your mascara like you normally would. As you sweep the mascara wand against your lashes and the back of the spoon, the residue will coat the back of the utensil rather than your skin. Amazing isn't it?

5.Revive mascara with saline solution

If your mascara dries up soon, add a couple drops of saline solution into the flaky formula to get it back to its smooth consistency.

6.Plump your lashes with translucent powder

Dust some translucent setting powder on your lashes between coats of mascara to plump up your lashes. The translucent powder helps grip the mascara in between coats, leaving you with fuller, more voluminous lashes.

7.Apply eyelash glue with a thin stick or bobby pin

Tired with eyelash glue making a mess and ending up with clumpy-looking fake lashes, try this tip: Use the tip of a clean bobby pin to carefully apply a few dots of glue to the lash band and disperse it evenly. Wait a few seconds or until the glue is tacky and then apply the lashes on.

8.Set your lip color with a tissue and powder

For lip color to last longer, apply your shade, put a tissue over your mouth, and dust some translucent powder over the top to set the color from bulging or bleeding. This may seem unnecessary, but the results are amazing. 

9.Use a brush handle as a contour guide

All faces are different in shape. To know where you should be dusting on your bronzer or contour powder, roll a pencil, pen, or makeup brush handle right below your cheekbone to find the right angle for your face. Once you’ve found the correct placement, dust some bronzer right below it with a contouring brush, then blend the color out to soften it.

10.Map your contours with a brow pencil

Don’t have a cream contour stick? After you’ve applied your foundation, mark the areas you want to contour, the hollows under your cheekbones, your temples, along your hairline, jawline, the sides of your nose, the tip of the nose, and the crease of your eyes, with a deeply colored brow gel pencil. Yes, brow gel pencils are really concentrated, yet very smudge-able, which makes them perfect for contouring.

Hope these tips will come handy for you.
