Beauty Tips Everyone Should Know

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.

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.

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.

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 Lip Pencil in Ozone.

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.

Beauty Tip 14

Use the connect-the-dots method for perfect eyeliner every time. This is a great way for beginners to nail the elusive wing.

Beauty Tip 15

Don’t try to wax or thread your eyebrows at home. Instead, pluck them to ensure you’re getting the perfect shape and only remove the hairs that are necessary. According to celebrity brow stylist Joey Healy, DIY plucking is always better because you’re only removing one hair at a time rather than accidentally yanking out too many.

Beauty Tip 16

Wet your eyeshadow brush with a setting spray before applying shadow to enhance the pigment and staying power of the product.

Beauty Tip 17

If you’re in a pinch, you can use clear lip balm to tame your eyebrows. Simply dab some on your finger and press it into your brows.

Beauty Tip 18

If your skin needs an extra boost of hydration at night or in the morning, apply a face oil over your moisturizer to lock in moisture. We love Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate Face Oil.

Beauty Tip 19

Parsons recommends applying winged eyeliner with your eyes open and facing a mirror. This trick will help you get your wings symmetrical on both sides.
