A Sunkissed Glow

To give your skin a nice glow after a day in the sun, sweep your cheekbones, forehead, nose, and chin lightly with a solid bronzer and bronzer brush. It takes 30 seconds and makes a great impact.

Transform Your Lipstick into Lip Gloss

Transform your lipstick into a lip gloss by melting your lipstick and a little Vaseline into a tiny jar. Mix it together and enjoy.

Prevent Your Lipstick From Bleeding

Prevent your lipstick from bleeding by keeping them well-moisturized. Lipstick bleeds when your lips are dry. Slather on a coat of Vaseline before going to bed. At night is when your body rejuvenates itself. Your body will absorb the moisture best during this time. Apply a thick coat of Vaseline for five minutes before applying your lipstick. Gently remove the Vaseline beforehand. Alternatively if you shower in the morning, slather on a thick coat of Vaseline before you get in. The humidity from the water and heat will moisturize your lips a lot more effectively. Then, line your entire lips with a translucent lip liner. I like Paula's Choice. This acts as a lip fixative.

Close to Flawless Skin in Cold Weather

If your skin is only slightly uneven in complexion and you live in a cold environment, consider using tinted moisturizer. It's inexpensive, applies on easily, requires less maintenance, and doubles as a moisturizer and skin protectant. There's no point in following a meticulous routine of applying foundation and concealer if you don't need it. You could be unnecessarily clogging your pores with multiple products. While some people recommend using tinted moisturizer in hot weather because of the SPF 15 benefit, I advise against it. The liquidy-creamy consistency can melt in the heat and create a darkly discolored mask. Ugh!

Makeup on a Budget

If you're on a budget, prioritize money for high-end foundation and concealer. Flawless skin can only be achieved with superior ingredients that glide on smoothly. Eye shadows, eye liners, mascaras, lip liners, lipsticks, and lip glosses are similar in formulation. In fact, many department store brands also own drugstore brands, too.

3-in-1 Product: Baby Shampoo

This is every typical girl's best friend. It's shampoo, makeup brush cleaner, and lingerie washing detergent. Use it as a clarifying shampoo because it's not pumped with massive chemicals, which is why it's gentle enough to clean your makeup brushes and delicates.
