Smart tricks that make your beauty routine just that little bit simpler, and us (even) more beautiful. We love!
1. Such a shame if you shatter a powder. With 70% alcohol, cling film, a spatula and a pipette you can make your powder whole again. View the step-by-step plan.
2. Is your ring stuck? Don't panic, with this trick you can get your ring off without having your ring cut. All you need is a lace or string. Wrap the lace around your finger from just above your knuckle. When you are just above the ring, pass the end of the lace under your ring. That can take a while. Use tweezers if necessary. Then unscrew the lace from your finger and the ring will rotate upwards. Watch the video.
3. If you are statically charged, your dress will stick to your tights, not very charming. By spraying a little hairspray over your tights you prevent your dress or skirt from sticking to them.
4. Keep your hands soft by rubbing them extra thick before going to sleep. Put on cotton gloves to allow the cream to absorb even better.
5. Bobby pins have a smooth side and a ribbed side. What is the top? Wearing the ribbed side underneath gives the pins more grip, but both sides have advantages and disadvantages.
6. Have you run out of eyeliner? Dip a narrow brush in your mascara and use it to set your eyeliner wing.
7. Don't just apply concealer just below your eye. Draw a triangle point down under your eye and blend the concealer. This way you get an even fresher look.
8. If you don't have make-up remover, you can remove your make-up in an emergency with a little coconut oil or olive oil.
9. Remove your toughest glitter nail polish by pressing a cotton ball dipped in remover onto your nail. Wrap aluminum foil around it and let it rest for a while. Then press on your nail and peel off the aluminum foil and cotton wool.
10. Dry your hair with a cotton shirt instead of a towel. It ensures that your hair dries faster and it is less rough for your hair.
