Frequently asked questions
2 Smash a Dryer Sheet on Your Brush Bristles
If your hair tends to fly all over the place and get all staticky when you brush, this is the trick for you. Take a dryer sheet and press it down on your brush bristles until they break through and stick out. Then simply brush as usual and the dryer sheet will work to eliminate static and keep your strands where they belong. Cool, right?
3 Use Foundation to Prime Your Lips
Makeup experts say that foundation is the perfect primer for keeping your lip color in place all day long. Using the foundation you buy anyway saves some money and eliminates a step in your makeup routine. Smile so that you get the foundation in all the cracks and simply swipe it over your kisser when you put it on the rest of your face. Then layer on your lip color and you’re good to go.
4 Save Time Shaving by Exfoliating First
Next time you plan to shave your legs, exfoliate them first. This helps each hair stand out as far as it can so you can remove it farther down the shaft. This allows you to space your shaving days out more, saving you time and keeping you from running out of shaving cream as quickly. Less shaving is a girl’s dream so make it come true with this hack.
5 Save a Used Nail Polish Brush when the Color is Gone
Next time you run out of a polish color, keep the brush and clean all the leftover color from it. Keep it in your manicure kit and you have a fast and easy way to remove excess polish next time you paint your nails. Simply dip the brush in nail polish remover and gently brush it over the color around your nails to create a flawless manicure that will make everyone jealous.
6 Plump Your Lips Instantly with Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil will give you an instant plump to your lips, making them look fuller, younger and more beautiful without stepping foot in the derm’s office for a filler treatment. Simply apply a drop to your pout and you’ll see just what I mean. You can also blend a drop of peppermint oil into your lip gloss to eliminate a step, but still benefit. Easy, right?
7 Warm Your Mascara so It Goes on Easier and Thicker
Warming up your mascara makes it tad more liquid, which helps it spread better, doing a more efficient job of coating your lashes and making them look as beautiful as possible. Stick your mascara in your pocket or between your breasts for a couple of minutes before applying it. You’ll love the difference you’ll see!
