5 Weird Makeup Hacks Celebs Swear By
The best part is that none of these makeup hacks are ordinary. In fact, they’re genius!
1. Dunking A Face Full Of Makeup In Cold Water
Bella Hadid on her trip to Japan discovered a cool makeup trick. In an interview with a popular publication, she said that she dunks her face (with makeup on) in cold water for 10 seconds. This hack is known as ‘Jasmu’ and what it does is that it sets your makeup and helps it stay put all day long. To do this makeup trick, you just have to apply foundation first, then apply translucent powder all over the face, and finally, immerse your face in a bowl of ice-cold water.
2. Mixing Eyeshadow Powder With Aquaphor To Create A Cream Eyeshadow
Don’t get confused between Aquaphor and Vaseline. Aquaphor is petrolatum that contains water and Vaseline is petrolatum that does not contain water. Aquaphor has a translucent texture and can be mixed with other makeup products to create a new formula. In fact, Selena Gomez’s favourite MUA, Hung Vanngo, loves mixing Aquaphor with powder eyeshadow to create a creamy eyeshadow. The same trick can be done if you mix powder blush with Aquaphor to create a rich creamy blush.
3. Dipping A Cotton Ball In Foundation To Fix A Mascara Faux Pas
Let’s say that you accidentally get some mascara on your skin after coating your lashes with the product. Don’t use your fingers to wipe it off! Instead, take a cue from Emma Watson and dip a ball of cotton in the foundation and gently press it on the mark. This makeup hack does the job of both, conceal and remove the mascara product at the same time!
4. Using A Metal Spoon To Curl Lashes
Most of us use an eyelash curler to curl our lashes, right? Not Miranda Kerr. The actress places a metal spoon on her lids and then applies mascara. This makeup hack ensures that each lash gets coated with mascara and that the product does not accidentally get transferred onto the lids.
5. Peppermint Oil Acts As A Natural Lip Plumper
One way to plump and hydrate your lips naturally is by applying peppermint oil. Mariah Carey swears by this makeup hack as it not only boosts blood circulation but also makes the lips plump and pillow-soft.
