Well after a while using korean products i learned some useful tips and tricks to enhance the formula or even save some money. These tips and tricks are based from my personal experience, not all tips and tricks are suitable for everyone so just learn and discover what suits you best.
Makeup tips and tricks
1. How to use compact powder
we usually use powder to set up the makeup and to prolong the freshness. I prefer compact powder than the loose one simply because it's compact and easy to bring along. One thing that i learn is to never use the sponge provided by the compact powder container, i always have an extra powder brush. Why? Because when i use the sponge, the applicator can't spread the powder well and cause some powder to clogs in pores which if being observe closely, it looks very bad. It also cause too mattyfing effect. When i use the applicator on dewy bb cream, it will just cancel the dewy effect. My face will look very flat without any shine. While if i use the powder brush as the applicator, the finish will be slightly matte but still has the dewy shine.
2. Use eyeshadow for brow instead brow pencil
I'm not a fan of the too bold and dark eyebrow. I notice there are limited options of eyebrow pencil color. Most are too dark or too light for me. Rather than buying eyebrow powder kit, i found out eyeshadow can be useful too. Just find the brown eyeshadow that match your hair color. When my hair was black, i used dark grey one (do not use black eyeshadow since it is too bold and looks unnatural), but now my hair is in brown reddish shade so pick brownish red color. Just explore your eyeshadow collection and don't be afraid to make mistake. I use the brown shade in cherry truffle etude house chocolate collection or sometimes the pony memebox glam choco shade. I already tried this method to some people and they are all said it is a huge different thing than force to fit in the limited shade of eyebrow pencil. And one thing, for the applicator, you can just use your eyeliner brush for precise shape or just stroke the color using sponge eyeshadow tool for daily look.
3. How to save crack powder makeup
Well, this is a very sad thing to deal about. Usually when our eyeshadow or blush on fall down it will be broken and crack. Well, i personally ever deal with it when my etude house face corset broken into pieces. I feel very sad and i wanted to throw it away since the mess powder keep making my cosmetic case dirty. Then i found a way! Just simply add few drops of alchohol into the powder and mix it till you got the mixture, after that
just let it dry under the sun or i prefer to put it under the aircon for few hours and you'll get your little baby back in the business
4. Use lipstick instead of cream blusher
Well, this trick can save lots of money (eventhough i still purchase cream blusher mainly because i'm a hoarder haha). To match your lipstick color and your cheek color, simply put on few dots of your favourite lip stick, lip tints or whatever you want to call it on to your cheek and spread it well. After that just simply dab some foundation or bb cream to create deep blushing cheek.
5. Save the drying and clumping mascara
Face it, the experts say that we need to dump our mascara 6 months after opening it but who cares what the experts are saying ( mascara is quite pricey so i'm sorry i won't throw it away after 6 months!) but sometimes after some good times having friend with my mascara, it will be dry and has some clumps so rather than buying the new one, you can try this trick! Just add 3 drops of saline water (eye drops) into the tube and.. DON'T PUMP IT! You may not pump your mascara since it can clump very easily. Just stir it slowly and you'll notice your mascara will be runnier and as good as new again.
6. How to use lip tint in the correct way
Well, i love lip tints. And people have been saying lip tint has a very good staining power and bla bla bla. I own a Peripera water tint and eventhough i love the color, it will be gone in 1-2 hours after application and leaves no trace. So where is the staining power? I found this trick a couple weeks ago. The fault is not in the lip tint formula but rather on the application. The best way to apply lip tints are gentle spread it with the applicator all over the lips and.. WAIT patiently! Do not close your lips together and rub it with your both lips since it will smear. After it has dried just tap the remaining color with tissue and you'll get your stained lips. I ever tried this at night and on the morning, the tint was still there, go on! try it! You'll see the difference.
