To make your life so much easier, here are a list of hacks that I’ve actually tried and have actually worked.

1. Use a regular brush and a bobby pin to make a fan brush.

2. To make your eyes appear bigger, apply white eyeliner on your lower eyelid. And if you’re going for a smoky eye look apply eyeshadow below your eyelid.

3. When painting your nails, apply glue around the nail. This way you won’t have any excess polish around your nail.

4. To remove acne scars make a mask with lemon juice, cinnamon, honey, and nutmeg. Do twice a week and you’ll be sure to see results after the first two weeks.

5. Before applying your makeup, rub an ice cube over your face to help close pores and reduce redness. This will help your makeup last longer.

6. If you have dry, frizzy hair like me, towards the end of your shower rinse your hair with cold water. It will help defrizz your hair and make it sleek.

7. Use baking soda to clean out your pores.

8. Use a hair dryer to heat up your eyelash curler before curling your lashes. It will add more curl to your lashes.

9. To get beach waves with no heat, after your shower let your hair air dry until it’s slightly damp. Then divide your hair into separate braids, how many you want. Leave in overnight, and then in the morning your hair should be wavy like the ocean.

10. Most people probably don’t know this, I didn’t at first. But to find out when your makeup expires look on the box or product. IT should say a number.

11. For clear skin, apply aloe vera gel to your face for a couple of nights. Within a few days you should see a noticeable difference in your skin. This can also help with acne scars.

12. After painting your nails, to help dry them quicker stick them in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes. After this, they should be completely dry and smudge free.

13. To help your foundation last longer, use a damp beauty blender to set your powder with. This will help last your makeup for the day.
