1. Use Baby Powder To Lengthen Your Lashes
False lashes can be a pain, time consuming as well! You don’t have to wear false lashes to get that long, full look. Follow the steps to achieve the crazy long lashes without the hassle.
Apply one coat of your favorite mascara after curling your lashes. Then, with a Q-tip or any eye shadow brush, dust baby powder or setting powder all over your lashes, and apply a second coat of mascara. And it will adhere to the powder to create natural extensions! Powder creates a base that makes them appear much fuller.
You can repeat this step till you achieve your desired result.
When applying your mascara, don’t just move your mascara wand from the base of your lashes up. Make sure to move the mascara wand back and forth while going up. The left and right motion will make sure every lash is covered entirely, all the way to the tip.
Lipstick tends to rub off, smudge and not look as great as it does when you first apply it. Now solve this problem with a tissue , a bit of foundation and translucent powder. While you're applying foundation, apply little bit over your lips too; before applying lip color. Now, when you have applied your desired lip color, just hold a tissue over your lips lightly and dust just a bit of translucent powder over the tissue. This helps to set the lipstick so that it lasts longer; giving it a matte look.
Dark circles are one some of the hardest things to cover in the world. But you can thank concealer for covering up those dreadful blemishes, dark circles and mask the appearance of under eye bags. Here I have a life changing tip to cover under-eye circles for all the girls who can't get the perfect concealed look.
There are many different ways and makeup hacks that can make the process easier and more effective. Dab an orange or peach colored corrector over dark under-eye circles. The orange or peach tones will cancel out the blue shadows that your under-eye circles give off. Top the orange or peach corrector with a concealer that matches your skin or is a shade lighter than your skin tone.
The most flattering way to apply concealer is to draw a triangle with the base under your eye and the point toward your cheek.
This shape not only conceals dark circles, but it also instantly creates the illusion that your face is lifted, drawing the focus upward.

Skip the falsies for your next night out!
After creating those beautiful eyes, applying mascara can be a tricky business, which is why I love this genius trick. Hold any business card up to your lashes, then go crazy with the mascara. Your lashes will get properly coated to the very root, and any excess mascara will end up on the card, instead of your face!
*Clean the card off with a makeup removing wipe before you put it on your other eye.

5. Make Eyes Appear Bigger
If you don’t already own a white pencil, invest in one now to get those beautiful wide eyes!
Filling in this area with a dark liner looks sultry. But it can also make your eyes look about half their size. Instead of lining your water line with dark eyeliner, use a white pencil to create the illusion of a bigger eye. It will instantly open and brighten them up. You’ll see what a difference it really makes.
