Luminous skin
If you have spent eight-plus hours staring at your laptop screen, your skin is probably looking a little dull and tired. The easiest way to perk it up is with a foundation that covers all your dark spots or blemishes and gives you a healthy glow. However, if not applied right, the foundation can turn cakey after few hours. Wait, worry no more as we know the trick to fix it. Spray some fixing spray on your sponge and then set the foundation with it. Blend nicely. Fixing spray will ensure that your foundation stays flawless for hours.
Smudge-proof eye makeup
If there is one sure shot way to elevate your makeup game then that way goes through the eyes. Whether you want to play up or down, eye makeup is the best way to stand out at any party. To make sure your eyeshadow doesn’t slide down your lids onto your cheekbones or doesn’t cake into your creases, start with the creamy base first. Finish off with powder or pigmented eyeshadows.
Get blushing
The rosy sheen is the coolest way to announce your presence at a party. That soft, healthy glow goes beyond trends & seasons, and it is considered the most endearing look of all time. First, dab a creamy blush in the centers of your cheeks and then blend it out for the most natural looking color. To make it long lasting, dust over some powder blush. Cream blush followed by a powder one will give your makeup a salon-like finish in seconds.
Power Brows
The quickest ways to frame or define your face is to give your eyebrows a little more power and depth. Probably this is one of the easiest and fastest tasks to accomplish. It will take a few seconds only. Take your mascara brush and spray some hairspray on it. Now brush your eyebrows with the mascara brush in an upward direction. Besides a neatly done look, this will also give your brows that much desired high arch.
Luscious Lips
We know that matt lip colors last the longest. But not all lips can take the matt texture. Dry lips, in particular, feel drier and chapped with matt lipsticks. On the other hand, the creamy lipsticks require a reapplication every now & then. So here comes the hack. Instead of playing touch-up all night with your creamy lipstick, sponge your lips with some loose powder first and then apply the lipstick. Your lipstick will not bleed.
