BEAUTY HACKS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW:
1. Puffy tired eyes?
Simply use green tea bags or black tea bags, both help soothe puffy and tired eyes because they contain anti-irritant properties that help reduce swelling around the eyes. Put two used tea bags in the fridge for thirty minutes then place them over your eyes for at least three minutes.

2. Dry gel liner?
We love the soft, creamy lines that only gel liners create but they tend to dry up too soon. To fix this, put the gel liner in the microwave for 10 seconds and its back to new. Alternatively, add some eye drops to your dried gel eyeliner 2-3 drop are enough then mix it up with a spatula and your gel liner is good as new.

3. Want your perfume to last longer?
Apply Vaseline on your pulse points before spraying your perfume. This will hold the fragrance to your skin longer than if you were to spray it directly onto dry skin. Spray your perfume right after taking a shower, the moisture on your skin will help lock in the scent.

4. Want to find the right foundation shade?
Always test the foundation along your jaw line and in good natural lighting. The right color of foundation will essentially disappear onto your skin and that’s your perfect match! It is a beauty myth to believe that you should test foundation on your hand but your hands usually tend to be darker than your face.

16 Must-Know Foundation Tips for Girls With Dark Skin Head's up: You need to be doing different things depending on your skin type.

Here are some useful tips on how to apply finishing powder.

STEP 1
Ensure that you have followed the proper skincare and makeup basic steps. Apply your moisturizer, SPF, foundation, powder then finishing powder.

STEP 2
The best way to apply finishing powder is with a good brush. You will need two brushes; a fluffy powder brush and a dense stiff kabuki brush. Lightly dip brush to pick up the powder and tap off the excess. With light sweeping and circular motions, brush the dust evenly from the center of your face outward to cover entire face.

STEP 3
Using small circular motion, take the stiff kabuki brush and gently blend the powder into your face. This effectively prevents any flashback ensuring that you never have a ghostly cast in pictures.

STEP 4

For touch ups during the day, a feather light application of the finishing powder will help to keep your face looking matte and soften the appearance of your skin. Carry a small kabuki brush instead of using a powder puff as they tend to pick up more product which in turn will make you look caked out.

The combination of using both the setting and finishing powder can be used to create the enviable smooth, healthy, youthful-looking skin that everybody loves.
