13 Life-Changing Beauty Tips Everyone Should Know
Whether you’re a makeup novice or fanatic, there’s always room to step up your skills. You could be an expert at drawing the perfect cat eye but fall flat in the hair styling department. Or, maybe you’re a pro at contouring but can’t give your nails a smooth coat of paint to save your life. Ahead, we’re sharing 35 beauty tips from professional makeup artists that everyone can benefit from below, so you can hold your own with the pros.
Beauty Tip 1
According to Maybelline New York Global makeup artist Erin Parsons, using a waterproof mascara can help hold a lash curl better. It acts like a perm for your eyelashes and seals in the lift. Try the Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara.
Beauty Tip 2
After you finish painting your nails, submerge your hands in ice water to help them dry faster.
Beauty Tip 3
You can make any creamy lipstick look matte with loose powder and a tissue. Simply fill in your lips with your desired color, place a tissue over the lipstick and brush the powder along the tissue. The powder soaks up the shine and gives your favorite lipstick a smooth, matte finish.
Beauty Tip 4
Store makeup wipes upside down (with the opening facing down) to keep them from drying out. According to makeup artist Kelli Bartlett, this will help the product thoroughly soak through every towelette, starting with the one you’re going to use next. We love the CeraVe Hydrating Makeup Removing Plant-Based Wipes.
Beauty Tip 5
To master the perfect everyday winged eyeliner, start your line at the outer corner of your eyelid. Then, once you have your desired length, begin to fill in the wing. This is easier than carrying the line through to the inner corner of your eye. An editor favorite is the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Liner.
Beauty Tip 6
Packing on heavy or glitter eyeshadow? Use tape under your eyes to catch any fallout and keep the color off of your cheeks.
Beauty Tip 7
Get rid of flaky lips with a DIY lip scrub made of coconut oil and brown sugar. Because exfoliated lips are key to preventing your lipstick from pilling, you won’t want to miss this step in your routine.
Beauty Tip 8
Sleep on your back to avoid waking up with puffy eyes in the morning.
Beauty Tip 9
Hold a business card, spoon or tissue behind your eyelashes when applying mascara to prevent the product from getting on your eyelids.
Beauty Tip 10
Braid your wet or dry hair at night before you go to sleep to wake up with beachy waves in the morning. Setting your hair overnight is the perfect way to save a few minutes when you wake up.
Beauty Tip 11
Give your bobby pins a coating of hairspray for a better hold. Also, be sure you’re wearing them the proper way — with the squiggly side down — to ensure your hair stays in place. We recommend the Garnier Fructis Full Control Anti-Humidity Aerosol Hairspray.
Beauty Tip 12
Use a clear or white lip-liner pencil to keep your lip color from streaking. Simply line your lips like you usually would, then fill them in with color. Try the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On
Beauty Tip 13
Get a dewy glow by mixing your moisturizer with your foundation. It’s the perfect way to make a full-coverage foundation a little more sheer and comfortable to wear throughout the day.
