EYES

PUFFY EYES

Run teaspoons under cold water, and place them under your eyes for a few seconds. Then close your eyes and gently roll and massage the rounded side of the spoon over the eye area.

DARK CIRCLES

Apply sliced potatoes under the eye and lie down for five minutes, allowing the juices to seep in. Treat with the contents of a vitamin K capsule.

Mix bright blue shadow with facial moisturizer and dab it under your eyes with your finger.

TIRED/DROOPY EYES

A shimmer powder can visually lift droopy eyes. Use a cotton swab and apply it to the corner of the eyes.

HEAVY EYELINER

Go over the line with a light colored eye shadow to soften the look.

SMASHED EYE SHADOW

Store it in a small clean plastic or glass container and use it as a loose shadow.

LIPS

CHAPPED/DRY LIPS

Press tape against chapped lips and peel off dead skin cells.

MUSTACHE MENDING

If you waxed your upper lip and now it’s pink and swollen, dip a washcloth in cold milk and press it to the area. This will soothe the skin, and lessen the inflammation.

SMEARED LIPSTICK

Dip a cotton swab in eye makeup remover. Apply foundation with a cotton swab to clean up the look.

NO TIME FOR MAKE UP

Apply a little bronzer to eyes, lips, and cheeks.

Use mascara in place of liner and shadow. A curling mascara will eliminate another step.

Stick to gloss and sheer lipsticks. They can be applied quickly without smudging.
