Beauty hack 1: Winged eyeliner using tape
Ever wished you could get that perfect winged eyeliner? Well, you can get it right, too. All you need is some tape and eyeliner.
Simply, apply a piece of tape diagonally on the corner of your eye, as shown. Then, apply your eyeliner.
If you want a thicker winged look, fill in the wing accordingly.
Tip: Before removing the tape, let the eyeliner dry completely.
Look at that, quick and easy! This has to be the best beauty hack for winged eyeliner - it comes out perfect every time!
Beauty hack 2: DIY tinted moisturizer
Run out of BB cream? Or perhaps you are looking for more subtle face coverage? This DIY tinted moisturizer hack is really great.
In a small, clean container, mix your favorite moisturizer with a bit of foundation. Mix it up with an earbud, and you have yourself a tinted moisturizer!
Apply generously all over your face and rub it in with a large makeup brush for even coverage.
As you can see, I don’t have the heavy foundation look, but I do have a more tinted look, which is way more subtle and perfect for everyday makeup. The moisturizer feels great on my skin, too. This is one of my best beauty hacks for face and skin.

Beauty hack 3: Brighten your eyes
This excellent beauty hack goes a long way! If you want an eye-opener kind of look (which is great for everyday wear), then this light-colored pencil help will do just that.
Apply your favorite white pencil eyeliner to the rims of your bottom eyelid, as shown.
Can you see that my eyes look brighter? It really gives that much-needed vibrancy. This great beauty hack is so simple yet goes a long way.
Beauty hack 4: Tame brows with hairspray
Have a bit of a "wild wild west" look going on with your brows? No worries: you can set your brows in place with a little hairspray!
Simply, spray your favorite hairspray onto the tip of your eyebrow brush, and gently brush your brows in place. The hairspray will help hold those tiny hairs in place.
My eyebrows look more clean-cut, and as we all know, tamed eyebrows really go a long way! I love that this beauty hack is so simple, and I don’t need to buy expensive eyebrow gels.
Beauty hack 5: Fake a fuller lip
We all dream of having soft, bouncy, and thicker lips. While lip fillers may go a long way, it’s a little too permanent and expensive. If you want to create an illusion of fuller lips, then definitely try this beauty hack!
Simply apply your favorite lipstick.
Next, take a highlighter, dab a little on your finger, and apply it to the center of your lips.
There you have it, instant fullness! I think this is the best DIY beauty hacks for your lips. Try it out yourself; you’ll be amazed! It’s so inexpensive, too.
Beauty hack 6: Lipstick as a cream blush
Don’t have blush on hand? That’s ok, and you can use cream textured lipstick to get the job done! Simply add a few lines right on your cheekbone, as shown.
Then, blend in the color and work your way upwards toward your hairline using your fingertips. Now, you have that much-needed color and radiance to complete your makeup look!
