MUST KNOW BEAUTY HACKS FOR WINTER!

Winter’s a very tricky season that requires extra care. Besides keeping in mind to take utmost care of your skin, here are some beauty hacks that will make you feel like you are living through spring. These can save your day from turning into a complete debacle: blame it on the weather!

Check these out and cancel out those ugly winter side effects:

  • Make lip balm/Vaseline your bff: This is the most versatile item on this list. How this can help you, you ask? You name it!

  1. Needless to say, apply some at night before going to sleep. Let the moisture stay and seep in overnight and wake up with full hydrated lips in the morning.
  2. Out of blush and need to electrify that dull skin around cheekbones? All you need to do is smear some Vaseline around them and blend it with back strokes to get that moist glow.
  3. Don’t fetch your makeup remover to get rid of that stunning eye makeup. Vaseline acts as an excellent makeup remover for your eyes. Spread generously around your eyes and with a few cotton swabs take it right off, hassle free!
  4. It could come handy if you suffer from extremely dry skin which only gets worse in this season. Apply some on your elbows and knees if they seem to dry out in the middle of the day and show off that moisturized skin.
  • Dried out makeup? Fret not! :

  1. Dry and flaky compact or eye shadow doesn’t have to mean you need to hit the stores. Just add some alcohol/spirit to your pack and blend the paste well. Once it dries up you’ll have it back in shape.
  2. Heat up the tip of your eye liner/kohl over a lighter flame and let it melt a little. When it’s dry your kohl will have turned a tone darker.
  • Get fuller, long lasting moist lips :

  1. Use a lighter shade of lipstick in the middle of your lips with the shade you want around the corners and blend it all well. This hack will make your lips look plumper than they are.
  2. After applying your first coat, dab your lips lightly with a soft tissue. Then put some baby powder/translucent powder on them and apply your second coat. This will make your color hold on longer.
  • Say goodbye to dull, puffy eyes:

  1. Use a white or any light shade of eyeliner on your lower lashes to make your eyes pop.
  2. Use highlighter instead of concealer under your eyes to bury dark circles.

 

  • Haven’t washed your hair in a while? Nobody will know!:

  1. Put Baby Powder over your comb and then run it through your hair. It’ll absorb the oil and make it hard for people to guess.
  2. Embrace dry shampoo this winter. Apply some on your hair to bring back the volume. This makes a quick fix for dirt-dampened hair.

Take note of these and make life easier one bit at a time!
