5 Effortless Makeup Hacks for Everyone

Here are my top five every day makeup hacks to look gorgeous every day! 

1. Nude Eye Shadow                                                                                                                  I am well aware that many people use foundation or concealer as a base for their eye shadow, and don't get me wrong, I do too. But after applying a layer of concealer, find a color eye shadow that matches your skin tone as close as you can. Apply a pretty thick layer on, and it may seem like it doesn't make much of a difference, but, trust me, it does. It not only serves as a good base, but it illuminated your eye and covers up any veins or redness better than even actual concealer. It is also perfect if you are going for a more natural look. 

2. Glossy Matte                                                                                                                           I have been blessed with pretty thick lips, but there are some days where i want to create the illusion of even bigger lips. Or your tired of the same simple look and want to change it up a little! And all you have to do for this one is first apply your normal lip liner and matte, then find a gloss of the same color (if you don't have the same color, clear works well too. And be sure not to choose too dark of a gloss, as it will cover up the matte.). Then put the gloss ONLY in the Center of the bottom lip. Then pucker your lips and rub them together a little bit to blend it out and get it a little on the top. Below is a picture of what it should look like. Notice how the gloss is only in the center of the top and bottom. 

3. No highlighter? Try this                                                                                                                         I have had a rather hard time finding a highlighter that works for me, especially on my cheek bones. It usually shows up only on my nose, but not on my cheeks. But all you have to do for this one is find a shimmery gold eye shadow and put it on just as you would a normal highlighter. I've found that this works even better than most highlighters!                                                                                                

4. Kylie lips                                                                                                                                  Do you find yourself wanting your lips to look like Kylie Jenner's, but you can't/ don't want to get lip fillers? I do. But if you do a little plus sign with concealer in between your nose and cupids bow, then another right under your bottom lip in the crease above your chin. I know this makes no sense, but here's a picture to help you. (Before, during, and after)

5. Double Checking                                                                                                                   

This next one isn't really a makeup hack per say, more like a life hack anyone and everyone should know. After doing your makeup, be sure to check your makeup in a different lighting before you go out into the world. The lighting you do you makeup in may not be as good as you think, and it is always good to double check and it helps you be more confident about your overall look!
