Baby wipes aren’t just to clean a baby. Adults can utilize them as well, especially if they leave a pack of them in your makeup bag. First off, you can use the wipes to remove your makeup at the end of the night or even in the middle of the day if you need to change makeup or freshen up a bit. You can then use the wipes to clean off the brush, which makes a used brush look new and helps reduce clumps.

While products on the market state they plump lips, it usually comes with a hefty price tag. Plus, it might not even work as advertised, which in many cases, means you just have another lip gloss, only this one is one you paid four times the usual amount to buy. Instead, apply a few drops of an essential oil of your choosing to your current gloss to amp it up.

It seems like every woman who wears mascara tries at least 10 different brands to find that special one that lengthens and enhances eyelashes like no other. Start this trick by using an eyelash curler to give your lashes the perfect curve for this secret. Just make sure you put the curler at the base of your lashes. Apply one or two coats of your favorite mascara just as you would any other day. Place some baby powder in a small container, and then use a cotton swab to apply the powder to the lashes. Make sure you coat the entire lash. Now, you can apply another coat over top of the first to extend those lashes to their fullest. Baby powder absorbs oil, so it works to make your hair look clean, too. Whenever you can’t wash your locks, apply a small amount of baby powder to the roots. You can use a little bit of water to get rid of the ashy look it gives your hair. Once done, nobody will ever know you had greasy, grimy hair that you were too tired to wash last night.

Too many people think they should apply bronzer to their entire face to make them look naturally super tan. They think by making it look even, nobody knows it’s not their real skin color. However, if you look at most people’s skin tones, this isn’t the case. People have natural highs and lows that are usually around certain areas. Apply the bronzer in the shape of the number “3.” Begin at the forehead, then continue over the cheeks and don’t stop until you reach the jawline. It provides you with a natural looking glow that gives you the appearance of contour.
