12 Foolproof Makeup Hacks

I like to pretend that I'm pretty competent when it comes to makeup. I try to stay up to date on all of the latest trends and even attempt to try out many of them myself. But as much as I wish I was a makeup expert, there are certain skills that I just haven't mastered yet. The perfect cat-eye is definitely one of them, and contouring is still a pretty foreign concept to me. Thankfully, there are many great tips and tricks on how to overcome those tough beauty dilemmas. Keep scrolling for a list of 12 extremely foolproof making hacks that will take your beauty routine to the next level. 

1. Two-In-One 

Apply an eyeliner pencil to the rim of your eyelash curler to line and curl your lashes all in one go! 

2. Tape Trick

Use scotch tape to assist you with contouring! 

3. Steady Yourself

Shaky hands threatening your winged eyeliner goals? Steady yourself by planting your elbow down on a table or other hard surface. 

4. Make Matte

Dab some translucent powder over your lipstick for a matte effect and all-day lasting power. 

5. No More Smudging 

Hold a business card against your eyelid while applying mascara to avoid those pesky smudges! 

6. Teabag Trick

Eliminate puffiness by holding cold green tea bags on top of lids and under eyes for about five minutes. 

7. Highlight

Dab some highlighter above and below your brow line for an instant eye-lift. 

8. Heat Up Your Lash Game 

Use a hair dryer to heat up your eyelash curler for a stronger curl. You'll only need to do this for a few seconds! And always test the curler on your hand first to ensure it's a safe temperature. 

9. Card Trick 

Use a card to create a border for eyeshadow and eyeliner application. 

10. Stencil

Make a stencil out of scotch tape to create the perfect winged eyeliner look. 

11. Starbucks To The Rescue!

If you're anything like me you, probably have a stash of Starbucks napkins in your glovebox. Starbucks napkins (or any brown, recycled ones) make perfect oil-blotting papers! Who knew?

12. Disguise 

I just had to throw this awesome nail trick in here. Hide an outgrown manicure by adding some glitter polish to the base of your nails for an ombré look.

This '90s Inspired Lip Trend Will Send You Back In Time

If you grew up in the '90s, then you must know of Lisa Frank. Remember the completely psychedelic stationery, coloring books, and more that featured cute animals and insane patterns? Yes, this is the Lisa Frank I'm referring to. And if you're anything like me, any new trend that reflects back on '90s fads will bring you an instant feeling of joy. So when I heard that holographic lips were apparently now a thing, you can bet your bottom dollar I smiled about it. 

Think Britney Spears circa her first album; those glossy, pastel lip looks that we all tried so hard to replicate. The wild, bright, reflective lip looks remind me of something Lisa Frank would've made a lip gloss line out of, so obviously I'm a supporter of this mesmerizing new trend. Are you brave enough to give holographic lips a go? Keep reading for 12 photos of the holographic lip trend to find out! 

1. This is basically the entire Lisa Frank color palette summarized into one super-glossy lip look. This is practically like staring at a work of art. 

2. I love how this makeup artist chose to leave her top lip plain black to really emphasize the holographic lower lip. The teal and faint copper colors stand out so well against the matte black base color. 

3. What a beautiful, feminine lip look. This baby pink color has the perfect amount of subtle, holographic shimmer. 

4. If mermaids had a signature lip color, this would undoubtedly be it. This blue and purple holographic lip look is seriously out of this world.

5. This is another half-and-half lip look that I'm totally digging. If someone did me the honor of giving me this lip look, it'd be impossible to drag me away from the mirror. 

6. This is a super edgy, unique, and wildly bold lip look. It's one thing to pull off black lips alone, but to rock a black, holographic lip look is a whole other story. 

7. This makeup artist has some intense lip lining skills. Her talent is clearly displayed in the fact that this rose lip liner blends in seamlessly with the holographic gloss. 

8. Paired with her holographic pearl nails and nose ring, this lip look is 100% showstopping. I'm already having visions of my next Halloween costume: Ice Queen. 

9. This purple and gold lip look totally reminds me of Britney Spears's makeup circa the early 2000s. And if Britney would wear it back then, it's inarguably cool now. 

10. This lip look combines all of the hottest trends of this season: burgundy, metallic, and holographic. This is pure talent. 

11. If the holographic lip trend is a little too wild for you, why not try out a more subtle lip look instead? This stunning copper and peach color is courtesy of Sigma Beauty's lip gloss in "Dazzling."

12. I adore how this mainly purple lip gloss looks when the light reflects on it. Those emerald green and copper colors are so eye-catching.

People Are Wearing Real Succulents On Their Nails For This Look

When it comes to unusual nail trends, I'm always unprepared for what'll come next. Recently, we've seen fuzzy nails, aquarium nails, pumpkin spice latte nails, and scorpion nails. So when I caught wind that succulent nails are apparently now a thing, my curiosity obviously skyrocketed. I have always loved these adorable, low-maintenance little plants, and currently have two of them sitting on my desk. But how could one possibly incorporate a living succulent into a manicure? Australian terrarium and plant art designer extraordinaire, Roz Borg (@arozona), is the woman behind these whimsical yet largely illogical nail creations. She gets the look by attaching the tiny succulents to acrylic nails using floral glue, then attaches the acrylics to her real nails. 

Although these manicures take hours to create and aren't suitable for the majority of our daily lives, they're just so pretty that who cares?! The best part is that you can plant these tiny succulents when your manicure starts to wear out, and watch them keep on living! So if you're ready to see the newest bizarre nail trend, keep reading for a list of real, living, succulent manicures! 

1. Living Mani

This is definitely the most mesmerizing manicure I've ever laid eyes on. Her nails completely blend into the plant she's grasping. 

2. Green Thumb

I couldn't not make a pun about having a green thumb here. I have never seen such teeny-tiny succulents in all my life! 

3. Garden Party 

These light green succulent nails are worthy of having their own garden party. I seriously love the shape of them! 

4. Pretty In Polish

The real succulent nail look might be a little too much for you. If that's the case, just opt for a painted succulent look instead, like this glittering green design!

5. Cute Claws 

This is such a pretty, fresh manicure look. The white base polish was the perfect choice to make the succulent designs really stand out. 

6. Planted Pointers 

I love these alternating chocolate and succulent nails! The colors in this pretty plant-inspired manicure all complement each other so well. 

7. Living Ring! 

It felt like a crime to not show you these whimsical, stunning succulent rings. This would be the perfect accessory for a garden-themed wedding! 

8. Tiny Garden 

I had no idea so many different colors of succulents existed. This ring looks as though it belongs in a fairy tale. Sigh. 

9. Eco-Friendly Accessory 

I'm not usually very adventurous when it comes to accessorizing, but I mustget my hands on one of these rings. How could you not be happy while wearing a tiny garden on your finger?
