Luckily, this article will provide you with some beauty hacks that can truly save you a lot of time and effort. Read on to know which ways are time-efficient!

1. Want a perfect winged eyeliner? Use a spoon!

Trying to make a perfect winged eyeliner is tricky especially that it can be hard to get both eyes even. Thus, this hack is the ultimate solution for this dilemma. All you have to do is to place the handle of the spoon against the corner of your eye to draw a line. Flip over the spoon right after and put the curved portion against your eye. Make another line that is connected to the straight line by using the round edge of the spoon. Finally, remove the spoon and fill in all the outlines to have a perfectly beautiful winged eyeliner!

 

 

 

2. To achieve a perfect hair bun, use a sock!

If you want to attain that fuller hair bun, a rolled-up sock is your remedy! The first thing to do is to cut the toe portion of the sock. After, roll the sock over your hair until it makes a donut shape. Do a high ponytail then wrap your hair around the donut-shaped sock to have an amazing hair bun!

 

3.Put on Vaseline for a long-lasting perfume!

Tired of easily getting off your perfume scent? Then use Vaseline! Try to put a little amount of Vaseline into your pulse before spraying your perfume. It greatly helps the perfume scent to stick to your skin for a long period of time.

 

4. Use honey as your lip balm.

If you have chapped lips that get worse during the dry months, then try making your own natural lip balm using honey! Just mix a tablespoon of honey, a tablespoon of sugar, and a tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl. Stir well all the ingredients and massage them into your chapped lips for two minutes. After that, wipe the lip balm with a clean cloth, and voila! Say hi to your soft and hydrated lips.

 

 

5. Treat your irritated skin with Vinegar and Black Tea.

When your skin feels irritated after shaving, you can actually mix black tea and vinegar to soothe it. The black tea contains tannic acid that will reduce irritation and redness while the apple cider vinegar has anti-inflammatory properties. To apply this remedy, just smudge a cotton ball into the mixture of water and apple cider vinegar then rub it on the irritated skin area. Then soak a black tea in the hot water and leave it for 10 minutes. Let it cool first before applying to the affected area.

 

6. Draw triangles to conceal dark circles.

In order to easily conceal dark circles under your eyes, draw a triangle using a concealer. This is actually the easiest trick to help your face to lift up as well as hide the unwanted dark circles.

 

7. A hairdryer for an eyelash curler.

To get a quicker curl on your lashes, heat up your eyelash curler using a hairdryer! Put your eyelash curler in front of a hairdryer and hold it until it gets hot to touch. Let the curler cool down a bit and then clamp down your eyelashes to curl them up. This will extremely provide you with prettier eyelashes!

 

8. Use toothpaste to strengthen your nails.

When you feel like your nails are getting brittle, you can nourish them by using toothpaste. Toothpaste actually provides the same benefits to your nails as it does to your teeth. It also helps speed up the growth of your nails. Just rub a little amount of toothpaste once a day onto your nails for about a week then wait for the dramatic change in your nail’s health!

 

9. Soak newly-painted nails in cold water to help them dry faster.

If you are in a hurry and don’t have enough time to wait for your nail polish to dry, soak them in cold water for a few minutes. You might find it odd to put freshly painted nails in water but the cold temperature actually helps set the paint and make it dry quickly.

 

10. Remove blackheads using gelatin.

To clear out blackheads faster, try making a facemask using gelatin. Just add a tablespoon of milk and a tablespoon of gelatin in a bowl and stir both ingredients well. Put it inside a microwave for about a minute then let it cool down. Apply the mask using a makeup brush in the problem areas and leave it for a minute or two. Pull it off and enjoy a much clearer and smoother skin!

 

11. Use your phone’s flashlight to know how your makeup looks in various lighting.

If you want to test your makeup look in different lightings, then use your phone’s flashlight. Once you apply makeup in a place with overhead lighting, it can cast some shadows on your face that would result in a complete change of the overall makeup look. But if you radiate your phone’s flashlight while applying makeup, you’ll acquire a much better idea of your actual makeup look in a wide variety of lightings.

 

12. Use a bandage to do a quick nail art!

Creating nail art certainly takes a lot of time and effort but did you know that a bandage can actually save you from this problem? The bandage’s tiny holes can serve as your stencil. Just paint your nails with the base color first then let them dry. Cover them with bandages and paint some dots through the bandage holes. Once you’re done painting, peel the bandages away and enjoy the cute polka dot nail art!
