Makeup Tricks

- To look as if you are not wearing makeup, dip a flat 3-inch square piece of cotton wool in chilled water and squeeze well between the palms of your hands.
- Very lightly pat the face with it. The cold compression gives a natural look to the face and the makeup stays longer without getting spoiled.
- This is done before the eye and lip make up and after you have applied the foundation, powder and blusher. It sets the foundation, powder and blusher.
- If you are in a hurry, just pat your face with a damp towel which you just finished using for your bath.

- Brush a dark powder eye shadow onto eyelids and smooth a dab of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on top for a new eye gloss.
- Instead of investing in a new creamy colour, sweep powder blush on cheeks and top with a tiny drop of liquid glycerine or a rich moisturizer.
- To have a gloss look lipstick there is no need to junk your old matte lipstick. Vaseline works well on the matte lipstick to give you a glossy finish. You may also apply gloss over your matte lipstick and get that glossy look.
