No lip filler? No problem. This is one of my favorite beauty hacks because it truly works to give you a more plump pout. Start by dusting a light layer of powder bronzer over your closed lips to create a subtle shadow that instantly adds depth and volume. Next, grab your lip liner and slightly overline just above your natural lip shape for a plump effect. Finish with your favorite lipstick or gloss, and you’re left with a naturally enhanced, fuller pout!

If you’re only applying one blush, you could be missing out! Just like layering shadows for a dimensional smokey eye, blending multiple blush shades on your cheeks can increase your glow. Next time, instead of sticking to just one blush, try using two or even three complementary shades. Start with a lighter, warmer blush on the apples of your cheeks, layer a slightly deeper shade along your cheekbones, and finish with a soft touch of color at the highest points for extra lift. The result? A bolder, multi-dimensional flush that brings your whole look to life!

 

Warm Up Your Lip Liner

Out of all these beauty hacks, this one might just surprise you the most! Next time you’re about to apply lip liner, try grabbing a lighter and briefly heating up the tip. Just a quick touch of warmth will soften the liner, giving you a smoother, more pigmented application that glides on effortlessly. It’s a small trick that makes a big difference in your lip routine!

I am always looking for unconvential ways to make my makeup more interesting. The glossy lid look is more etheral and a nice way to shake up your normal routine. I discovered that the easiest way to replicate this look is none other than Vaseline. After applying your eyeshadow of choice, use a clean finger and gently tap a little of this jelly onto your lids for the most stunning dimension.

Rose-Marie, founder of RMS beauty and previous Victoria’s Secrent angel makeup artist, revealed that she actually refrained from using pink blushes on models. Much to everyone’s surprise, she favored the likes of red blush. It tends to give the skin a more natural flushed appearance because it’s neither blue or yellow based. It falls right in between, making it a flattering shade to use on every skin tone!

 

I hope these beauty hacks help you just like they helped me!
