Hey everyone!

We’ve all seen makeup hacks online, but let’s be honest—not all of them actually work. So today I’m sharing 5 hacks that I’ve personally tested and can say really make a difference. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, these tips might just change how you do your makeup!

1. Apply Setting Powder Before Foundation

This sounds strange, but if you have oily skin, try applying a light layer of translucent setting powder before your foundation. It helps control shine and gives your base a smoother, more long-lasting finish.

Bonus: It works great in humid weather! :sunny:

2. Use White Eyeliner to Boost Eyeshadow Color

To make your eyeshadow appear more vibrant, especially bright or pastel shades, apply a layer of white eyeliner or white cream shadow as a base. It neutralizes your lid and helps the color stand out more.

Perfect for: Colorful summer looks or bold party glam! :art:

3. Fix Dry Mascara with a Few Drops of Saline

If your mascara is drying out but isn’t expired, you can revive it by adding a couple of drops of saline solution (like eye drops). Shake it up and it’ll apply much more smoothly—just be sure it’s still within safe use time.

Result: No more clumpy lashes! 👁

4. Concealer in a Triangle for a Brighter Under-Eye

Instead of dotting concealer under your eyes, apply it in a triangle shape extending toward your cheek. This not only covers dark circles but also lifts and brightens your entire face.

Pro tip: Blend with a damp sponge for a smooth, natural finish. :small_red_triangle: :sparkles:

5. Clean Up Lipstick Edges with Concealer

To get clean, sharp lipstick edges, use a flat brush and a small amount of concealer to outline your lips after applying color. It defines your lip shape and makes any lipstick—especially bold shades—look polished.

Red lips + clean lines = total power look! :lipstick:

That’s it for today!
