Amazing beauty hacking tips ladies can try

When time is short and you need to get ready fast, a girl needs a good list of beauty hacks and tips to see her through.

You can’t always guarantee to have the right product or tool to hand, just when you need it, so sometimes we have to improvise and make do.

We all love hacks and tips that make life a bit simpler, so here are some amazing beauty hacks that you really should try.

1. Treat A pimple With A Dab of Greek Yoghurt: If you dab a little bit of Greek yoghurt on a pimple and leave it in for about twenty minutes, it will reduce the inflation and help to unclog the pore.
2. Make Eyeshadow Pop With White Pencil: To make an eyeshadow look more like the colour that you saw on the packaging, run a white eye pencil over your eyelid before you apply the eyeshadow. It creates the perfect base for the eyeshadow and it will even make sheer or the less heavily pigmented eyeshadows pop.
3. Use A Teaspoon To Keep Mascara Off Your Eyelids: To stop bits of mascara getting on your eyelids, hold a teaspoon over your eyelid, so it hugs right up against your eye.
4. Use A Chapstick On A Sore Nose: A chapstick works just as well on a sore nose as it does on your lips. The next time you catch a cold and your nose gets sore, try rubbing your chapstick on it and you’ll find that it does a wonderful of job of moisturising the dry skin and it eases the pain.
5. Brighten Up Tired Looking Eyes With A Touch Of White: The easiest way to open up tired eyes and to give them a wide-awake look is to apply a small amount of white eyeliner, just to the corners of your eyes.

6. Use A Saline Solution To Revive Flaky Mascara: If your mascara gets dry and flaky, add a couple of drops of saline solution to it, mix it well in, and it will bring your mascara back to its original consistency.
7. Make Lipstick Last For Longer With A Tissue: To set lipstick and make last for longer, hold a piece of tissue paper over your lips and then dust it with a translucent powder.
8. Make Your Own Anti-Dandruff Shampoo With Aspirin: Rather than spending more money on anti-dandruff shampoo, just crush up two aspirins and add the powder to your regular shampoo. The salicylic acid in aspirin will break down the build-up of dead skin cells and your dandruff will wash away easily.
9. Use Baby Powder For Thicker Lashes: For thicker, longer looking lashes all you need is a bit of baby powder. Lightly dust your lashes with baby powder after your first application of mascara and then give them another coat of mascara over the top.
10. Blot Your Face With A Toilet Seat Cover: The disposable toilet seat covers that you can find in public restrooms are made out of a very similar fabric to what blotting papers are made from. If you get caught out with shine on your face, a quick dab with a toilet seat cover will mop the excess oil for you.
