Easy Makeup Hacks for Beginners

Beginning with makeup can be intimidating, but these 10 easy makeup hacks will simplify the process for you to create flawless looks with minimal effort.

Smooth on Base with a Damp Sponge:

To get an even, airbrushed finish, blend your foundation with a damp beauty sponge. Moisture helps you seamlessly blend the product into your skin for a natural glow.

Use Concealer as Eyeshadow Primer:

Forgo the eyeshadow primer and just use your regular concealer to prime your eyelids. It cancels out discoloration and gives your eyeshadow something to cling to.

Tightline Your Lashes for Fuller Eyes:

Apply eyeliner directly to your waterline to create the illusion of thicker lashes and make your eyes appear larger.

Using a Spoon as a Guide for Smudge-Proof Winged Liner:

Struggling to get a perfect wing? Grab your spoon and follow it along the base of your lash line for an ideal sharp edge.

Highlighting on Cheekbones and Brow Bone:

No highlighter in your makeup bag? Then clear gloss on your lips is bound to become your best buddy by giving you a hint of glow there.

Use Baby Powder for Voluminous Lashes:

After applying mascara, dust a small amount of baby powder on your lashes with a clean brush to make them appear fuller.

Revive Dry Mascara with Eye Drops:

If your mascara is starting to dry out, add a drop of eye drops or saline solution to loosen it up and bring it back to life.

Contour with Bronzer for a Natural Look. For a contour that is nice and easy for beginners, let’s use bronzer that adds warmth to the face to define the contours. That would be the temples and jawline and under your cheekbones.

White Eyeliner on Your Waterline. To brighten up your eyes and look bigger, line your waterline with white eyeliner versus dark shades.

Spray It! Now, once you put the makeup, finish off with a setting spray. This is actually applied after all your makeup but would ensure everything stays in all day long.

These are some of the simple hacks to build up your confidence and help make the process fun as you experiment with make-ups.
