Hack 1: Use Concealer As Eyeshadow Primer

You don't always need to have an eyeshadow primer at hand when you can use your concealer for the job! Apply a layer of concealer on your eyelids as a base, and you'll see your eyeshadow color pop more vividly. Not only this will enrich the color, but it will also hold the eyeshadow longer.

But remember, only a tiny amount of concealer will be enough. Too much of it can lead to creasing. Using this simple makeup trick, you can flaunt your eye makeup all day long, with zero touch-ups!

Moreover, if you are in a rush and want to skip the eyeshadow altogether, just apply the concealer, some mascara and you are good to go for a natural look. An uber-cool way to slash your makeup time, isn't it?

Hack 2: Mix Foundation With Moisturizer

If you desire a light, glowing 'no makeup' makeup look, this is the hack for you. When you blend a little moisturizer into your foundation, the result is a sheer, naturally radiant complexion. This makeup tip is perfect for summer days when heavy makeup feels burdensome.

Furthermore, mixing your moisturizer with foundation provides a hydrating effect to your skin. Meaning, this makeup trick serves a dual purpose - beauty and skin care.

Just make sure to blend well and apply evenly for an impeccable, dewy finish that lasts throughout the day. Apart from being time-saving, this hack can also be a great money saver if you run out of your BB cream!

Hack 3: Use Mascara As Eyeliner

Have you ever found yourself desperately seeking an eyeliner but couldn't find one in your makeup bag? Well, your mascara can come to your rescue. It works wonderfully when used as an eyeliner. Just take an eyeliner brush, dip it into the mascara wand, and apply it as you would your standard liner.

Another great aspect of this hack is that it gives an amazing consistency and lasting power! Mascara usually has a waterproof and sweatproof formula, making it last longer than traditional eyeliners.

This simple yet effective makeup trick can be a real savior when you're in a hurry or traveling light. After all, who wouldn't appreciate a multitasking product that saves some space and time?

Hack 4: Use Lipstick As Blush

One of the most classic makeup tips - using lipstick as blush! Sounds interesting, right? If you’ve run out of blush, or simply prefer the rosy finish that a lipstick can provide, this hack is for you.

Nothing beats the harmonious blending of the same hue on your lips and cheeks. Just swipe a little (very little) lipstick on your finger, dot it on your cheeks and blend gently for a natural, flushed look.

Remember to apply sparingly, it is easier to add more than to subtract once you have over-applied. Follow this fantastic makeup hack, and you are just minutes away from a stunning look that leaves an impression.

Hack 5: Hairdryer for Eyelashes

Ever wondered why the lash curl doesn't hold for long? Most of us always desire those perfectly curled lashes, and this tip is just for that. Use your hairdryer to heat your eyelash curler before curling.

Just make sure your curler is not too hot before applying to the eye area. Test the curler on the back of your hand, and then curl your lashes for longer-lasting, spectacular curves.

This makeup hack not only saves you from re-doing your lashes now and then but also accentuates your eyes, giving you a mesmerizing look.

So, lovely ladies, that's a wrap on our list of ingenious makeup hacks aiming to make your life easier and your looks more vibrant.
