1. Protect your manicure

Do you get impatient while waiting for your newly applied nail polish to dry? Have you ever left the nail salon just a little too quickly and almost immediately ruined a nail? 

After you get your nails done, dip them into a bowl of ice-cold water for a full minute (two minutes if you can handle it)! 

When you take your hands out, your nail polish is dry! No more walking around holding them up, blowing on them, and being scared of ruining your new manicure.

2.  Whiten your teeth

Our teeth are victims of the coffee and wine we drink, but there’s a simple hack to whitening them up and keeping them stain-free. 

Put a little bit of toothpaste and baking soda onto a piece of tin foil. 

Wrap the foil over your teeth and leave it in place for about 10 minutes. Then brush the toothpaste and baking soda mixture off. 

3. Refresh your eyeliner

Have you ever stabbed your eyelid with a dried-out eyeliner? 

Here’s how to soften it back up: Simply put your dried eyeliner pencil in a bowl of hot water for 15 to 30 seconds.

4. Remove blackheads

A great home-remedy for blackheads is to mix some regular non-toxic school glue with activated charcoal. 

Apply the mixture to your nose (or wherever you need to remove a blackhead), let it dry, and then peel it off along with the blackheads.

5. Contour your nose

If you want to make your nose appear thinner, you can do it by dipping your tweezers into some cream concealer.

Then use your tweezers to transfer the concealer down the center of your nose, creating a contour line. 

Use your fingertip to blend out the contour line.

6.  Use a dry-shampoo hack

If you have oily hair, but you’ve run out of dry shampoo, there’s a hack for that! 

Start by putting some cornstarch into a small bowl. 

Now, if you are a brunette, add a little cacao powder to the cornstarch for color.

Use as much as you need to match your natural color. Even if you are blonde, you might just want a touch of cacao powder.

Apply the mixture to your hair with a large, fluffy makeup brush. Then use a hairbrush to brush it out.

7. Remove makeup stains from your clothes

For a great pre-soak solution to get nasty makeup stains out of your clothes, put shaving cream directly onto the stain before you throw your clothing into the hamper. 

When you eventually wash your clothes, the stain will disappear.
