10 MAKEUP HACKS (that I actually use)

     I see so many seemingly "makeup hacks" on pinterest and they look fantastic. However, some of these work for some people, and others are less fortunate in that aspect. I'm one of those people. However, there are a few simple tips and tricks I've picked up along the way and I would be honored to share them with you to make you feel like an actual bo$$. (Do I hate myself for saying that? Possibly.)

1// Coconut Oil- Coconut oil is a (Dj Khaled voice) major key for me. I used to have relatively short eyelashes and coconut oil is very helpful for that. Also, I use it as a quick makeup remover for brushes when I go to pick up more product.

2// Olive Oil- Another essential oil for me is olive oil. Olive oil is the best moisturizer ever and it's super convenient because you most likely have it in your pantry! The reason that olive oil is the best moisturizer is because it's great for all skin types. Let's get a little Bill Nye-ish here. The Olive oil's molecular complex is the closest molecule makeup to your skin oils. Therefore, using it does not clog your pores.

3// Using a Blow Dryer on an Eyelash curler- At first sight, I thought this was one of those phony hacks that turn out to be bologna. I was wrong. Heating up your lash curler before using it is a massive help to your lashes. Be careful though!

4// Vaseline- Whenever I do my makeup, lippies come last. While I do my foundation and eye makeup, putting on a chap stick or vaseline is mega helpful for prepping my lips before product.

5// Using all foundation- Whenever I am running low on a foundation that came in a plastic container, I cut the top off and scoop out the rest!

6// Translucent Powder for Lips- Whenever I want my lipstick to last all day, I take a tissue over my lips and tap them with translucent powder!

7// Reviving Mascara- Whenever you face foundation turns dry, just add eye drops to revive it!

8// Toilet Seat Covers- Whenever I'm in public and I'm getting a tad oily, I just use one of the toilet safety covers as an oil blotting sheet! Works like a charm.

9// Using liquid highlight on the lips- Whenever I want to add a little pop to my lips I mix my glass with high light- great glow!

10// Highlighter above brows- Often times we use highlight under our brows. SKRRT, STOP, WAIT. Girl don't. Putting the highlight above accentuates the brow arch!

Those are my top ten "hacks". I hope they help!
