Imagine walking up to your peers, flashing a smile which you thought was flawless only to realize that your lipstick was being a clingy jerk who found its way to your teeth and stayed there.

This is one of the hacks that sounds pretty much like a myth, except that this works while a myth doesn’t. After applying your lipstick, place a piece of tissue paper on your lips and dust some translucent powder across your lips gently.

Some powder will seep through the tissue onto your lips, providing tons of staying power just like how it does to your face makeup. Tried and tested!

6. Smell Amazing, All-Day-Long

Physical attractiveness has long been associated with pleasant smells. That is why perfume is getting increasingly popular and well, pricy. However, it can be frustrating when the scent could not make it beyond half a day.

Contrary to popular beliefs, we are NOT supposed to rub our wrists together after spraying the perfume as it breaks down the scent, causing it to disappear faster. If you want to spread the scent, dab it around gently. Additionally, as moisture locks in scents, you should spray your perfume right after a bath or apply vaseline on your wrists before spraying.

7. Perfect Winged Eyeliner, With Just A Card

Try this application method before tossing your concealer into the bin. The trick is to draw a triangle under your eye, pointing it towards your cheek. The tip of the triangle should end at the bottom of your cheekbone. This conceals dark circles as well as creates an illustration that lifts up your face instantly. You just saved yourself $20 and a trip to the drugstore. You are welcomed.
