Are you curious about how celebrities like Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, and Emma Watson maintain their flawless skin despite their busy lives? Worry no more! Here are 20 straightforward and simple make up beauty hacks that can make your beauty routine much more efficient. These are the most popular and sought-after beauty tips that every woman should be aware of.
1.Say goodbye to chemical based make-up removers
Are you aware of the numerous chemicals that go into the production of makeup removers? People with sensitive skin often experience skin problems like uneven skin tone and patchiness due to these chemicals. Homemade beauty products are a better option as they are free of side effects and won’t harm your skin.
To make a natural makeup remover, you will need 1/2 cup of aloe vera gel, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and 1/2 cup of raw honey. Simply mix equal parts of raw honey and aloe vera gel to create 1 cup of cleanser, and then add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil and mix until a paste forms.
Apply a small amount of this paste to your face and gently rub in a circular motion, leaving it on for a few minutes before rinsing with water. This homemade makeup remover will effectively remove all your makeup in one go.
Remember to use an aloe vera gel that doesn’t contain any preservatives.
2.Vaseline is multipurpose
Vaseline can be used in a variety of ways to enhance your beauty routine. These DIY hacks are simple, affordable, and suitable for everyone. You can create a homemade lip-gloss by mixing Vaseline with food coloring, making your lips feel light and natural. Using Vaseline on a mascara brush before applying it to your eyelashes can give them a fuller appearance. Mixing Vaseline with coffee, sea salt, or sugar creates an effective household scrub. Applying Vaseline before spraying your perfume helps to make the scent last longer.
3.Get rid of dark circles and puffiness naturally
Dark circles and puffiness can be caused by factors such as late nights, stress, anxiety, and dehydration. While makeup can help cover them, there is also a simple homemade remedy that can reduce their appearance naturally.
To make the remedy, shred one cucumber and mash one banana to create a face pack. Apply the pack under your eyes and on your eyelids, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes. After, rinse it off with water. This treatment is a natural solution to reducing dark circles and puffiness.
4. Lipstick: one product make-up
Have you ever had a busy morning when you woke up late, rushed to work and realized you only had a tube of lipstick in your bag? Don’t worry, lipstick is one of the most versatile makeup products available. Besides its primary use, it can also be used as a substitute for other makeup products like eyeshadow and blush.
To use it as eyeshadow, simply apply a light layer to your eyelids and blend. You can also use it to highlight features like cheekbones by applying it in the same way you would with a concealer. And, applying it to the tip of your nose and cheeks creates the illusion of a natural blush.
5.Know the best way to wash your face
It’s a common misconception that using only hot or cold water is the best way to wash your face, but a better approach is to combine the two. First, use hot water on your face to open up your pores, then apply a face wash and gently lather it. Finally, switch to cold water to rinse your face, as the cold water will help close your pores and prevent impurities from entering your skin.
6.Ran out of shaving cream?
Contrary to popular belief, shaving cream isn’t the only option for lubricating skin during shaving. Hair conditioner can serve as an effective alternative due to its thick consistency, similar to that of shaving cream, and its reduced risk of causing skin irritation or rashes. Body wash is another alternative to consider.
7. Talcum powder for oily, greasy hair
Have you ever found yourself with plans to go out, but with no time or energy to wash your hair, and no dry shampoo in sight? Not to worry! You can still have fresh and stylish hair using this DIY hack.
This homemade remedy is easy to prepare and use. You will need either talcum powder, baking powder or cocoa powder, depending on your hair color. For blondes, a mixture of talcum powder and baking powder is the best option, while for brunettes and red heads, a mixture of talcum powder and cocoa powder is more effective.
To use this hack, simply apply the dry mixture to your scalp, right at the roots. Then, simply brush your hair through, and voila! No more oily hair to worry about. With this DIY hack, you’ll never have to worry about unexpected hair emergencies again!
8. Preserve tea bags
Tea bags can be used for more than just brewing a cup of tea. Here are a few ways to reuse your used tea bags.
As an odor repellent: If your shoes are starting to smell, try placing a used tea bag inside each one. The tea bag will absorb the unpleasant odor, leaving your shoes smelling fresh.
For skin irritation: Used tea bags can be placed on areas of the face that are inflamed, puffy or irritated. The tea bags will calm and cleanse the skin, reducing inflammation.
For gardening: Because tea bags are biodegradable, they can be used as a natural fertilizer for your garden. Simply bury the tea bags in your kitchen garden or flower pots, and they will act as a nutrient-rich soil amendment.
9.Hack for smelly hair
For fresh and fragrant hair, use your hairbrush and perfume. Simply spray some perfume on the brush and then brush your hair, making this a quick and effortless solution for hair that has been exposed to sweat and sun.
10.Toothpaste for pimples and blackheads
Looking to get rid of painful pimples? Try using toothpaste as a simple beauty hack. Simply apply the toothpaste directly onto the pimples and leave it on overnight or for 2 hours. This will help dry out the pimples and prevent the spread of bacteria. For blackheads, mix toothpaste with a spare toothbrush and gently scrub the affected area. Leave it on for 5 minutes and then wash it off with water for clearer skin without blackheads.
