Whether you’ve woken up too late or have a last-minute party to primp for, you’re going to need these fast and fabulous make up tricks — little fixes that make a big impact.
1. Angelic eyes
The trick: Brighter eyes with one tool.
How: Work a little white eyeliner (preferably an iridescent white) onto the rim of the eye from the outside to the inner corner. It casts a glowing halo effect that is angelic.
2. Easy brow tweezing
The trick: Shape eyebrows for frame the face.
How: Using a slant tip tweezer, place the tweezers very close to the skin and swiftly pull the hair in the direction of the growth. Stand about a foot away from the mirror and alternate brows.
3. Wider eyes in one step
The trick: Eye flourish in a hurry.
How: If your time is tight, forget a complex eye make up look; swipe on two coats of mascara. Leaving your eyes mascara-free means your eyes have no frame and your look isn’t complete.
4. Speedy lips
The trick: Fast-track your pout with lip stain.
How: A stained look is much quicker to achieve than a fully made-up mouth. With a clean finger, pat lip stain into your lips so that the colour looks washed rather than opaque.
5. Shortest manicure
The trick: Gorgeous nails in 60 seconds flat.
How: Remove all polish, clean under your nails (with lemon juice, if you have it) and massage the thickest lotion you can find into your cuticles. Lip balm will suffice.
6. Pink lippy to fix flaws
The trick: For faking flawless skin.
How: To really perfect your complexion — no matter what your skin tone — wear lipstick in a warm pink. It distracts people’s eyes from blemishes and other imperfections.
7. Lipstick as a blush
The trick: Lipstick can double as a creamy textured blush.
How: Dab a clean finger onto lipstick and smile. Where the apples of your cheeks pop out blend on the colour, sweeping it up towards your temples.
8. Multi-purpose foundation
The trick: A hardworking make-up base.
How: Choose a mineral foundation for a covered yet natural finish; this means you can skip powder too. This type of base is great for all skin types, especially if you suffer from acne or have sensitive skin.
