Published on May 10, 2021, beauty experts reveal that achieving a flawless look is within reach, even without the help of professionals.
Unlike celebrities who have a team of beauty experts working around the clock to ensure they're always camera-ready, you can achieve a similar look from the comfort of your own home.
Here are some expert tips and tricks gathered from different places and people to help you stay ahead of the game:
- Moisturize your eyes to protect them from dark circles.
- Apply black eyeliner pencil to your upper waterline to give the illusion of fuller and longer lashes.
- Refresh your makeup after a long day by lightly misting your face with a toner, patting dry with tissue, and finishing off with a loose powder.
- Set your lipstick by blotting through a tissue using a translucent powder to avoid fading, smearing, or smudging.
- Use multiple face masks together to tackle different skin problems, such as a charcoal mask for oily skin and a hydrating mask for dry areas.
- Mix face oil with foundation for a super dewy finish and to avoid cracks in your makeup.
- Warm your mascara under your arm to break it down for a seamless application.
- Use your rosy lipstick as a substitute for blush if you can't locate it.
- On colder days, use thicker creams and lighter ones during hot weather, and don't forget your sunscreen.
- Draw out your cat eye with a gel liner and then with a liquid liner to make it pop.

- Apply a strip of lower falsies to your upper lashes for natural-looking lashes without the spidery look.
- Use your hydrating eye cream on your lips for super smooth lips.
- Go for glow products instead of minimal makeup for a natural-looking glow.
- Use a tweezer to pluck your eyebrows and maintain their shape.
- Apply face oil on top of your moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration if your skin is feeling dry.
- Correct smudges on your face while applying makeup by dipping a Q-tip in micellar water and carefully cleaning it off.
- Buff mascara that may have transferred to your eyelids using a clean fluffy brush.
- Apply Vaseline first and then spray your perfume to make it last longer.
