Just as a painter uses brushes to create on a canvas, makeup brushes are must use tools to utilize when painting your face. So here are five best brush tricks to keep in mind. Wash Your Brushes: Always wash your makeup brushes at least once in a week. Washing them preserves the hair and shape, and also remove excess makeup to keep the bristles hygienic. Use liquid soap or shampoo, massage and rinse until the water runs clear. If your brush feels dry and stiff, rub a small amount of olive oil through the bristles before cleaning. This will soften the hair. Blend: The most important secret to keep in mind when using brushes is always focussing on blending. You can take the darkest shadow and turn it into the seamless smokey eye if you blend well enough. Quality vs Quantity: You don't need a huge assortment of brushes for everyday use. The key brushes to have in your collection are a foundation, blush/powder, bronzer, contour and 3 eyeshadow brushes- one for application, one for...

Never apply foundation with a dry beauty blender and that's because using a damp beauty blender gives a dewy streak-free finish. It also ensures it doesn't soak up too much of your product. The Tip: Ideal for blending small areas like the nose, the lips and hollow of the cheek. The Body: The soft foam material works perfect when wet. The Shape: The corner-less design reduces streaks and lines. The Base: Best for buffing large areas like forehead, cheeks, chin and jawline.

Every five minutes, someone is discovering a new way to improve how we dress up our faces. The latest and greatest upgrade comes in the form of a concealer—more specifically, multiple concealers. Instead of using one uniform nude concealer to cover all of our skin concerns, beauty lovers have adopted color-correctors. Formulated in various vibrant shades of purple, green, yellow, orange, etc., each color tackles a specific skin concern and works to neutralize the area using fancy, strategic color theory (think of  those cool color wheels you played with in grade school). Now we can go on all day about the hows and whys of color-correcting, but we’ve already done that here. Instead, today i am just going to show you how and where exactly to apply your fancy multi-colored concealers to ensure you get your money’s worth. Step 1: Apply face primer to...

Sharing makeup products is surprisingly common amongst ladies and it's a terrible habit! Ladies when touching up end up passing around tubes of lipsticks, lip gloss and balms, mascaras and so on between each other for quick use and in process transfer bacteria and even more! Makeup products and tools are the perfect breeding places for bacteria. Avoid and never share your makeup products. Risks of eye infections Sharing mascara, eyeliners and eyeshadows can cause bad infections to the eye. This is extremely worse for those who wear contacts as the tear ducts can easily get infected by dirt and grime as well as bacteria transferred from a person to the other. Risk of contaminating an entire makeup product Sharing makeup product like loose powder attracts the risk of contaminating the whole powder- applying it with brush(es) that has been transferred from a person (and 'their bacteria') to the other- a product in a jar for instance get contaminated at just one tou...
