When it’s frozen, wrap your cubes in a soft cloth and rub it all over your face. The milk will leave your face soft while the cold cubes will give your skin an instant boost, making it tighter and brighter.
Sunscreen on Brows
Now, you need to take this seriously because most people leave their brows out when applying sunscreen. Why are your brows left out when they’re a part of your face?

Not applying sunscreen on your brows may leave them bleached and lighter than normal. You can use sunstick or creamy sunscreen. Your brows need protection too.
Lip-gloss Almost Empty? Revive It
Your favorite lip-gloss has gotten to the bottom and you can’t use it anymore because nothing comes out. But if you look closely, you’ll see some of it sticking to the edge.

You can get it all out with warm water. Put your gloss in a cup of warm water and leave for about 10 minutes. When the time is done, it would have become soft, liquid and slid to the bottom. Now, you can use it like you normally do.
Mascara as Eyeliner
Knowing your way around makeup requires you to be smart and know how to improvise. When your eyeliner gets finished or you can’t find it, don’t stress or think too much, you can use a mascara.

Just get your eyeliner brush, put some mascara on it, and draw your perfect winged liner. Nobody would even notice anything different.
Earth-Toned Eyeshadows
Using eyeshadow is a real level up in makeup. It makes your glam more glam-y. You can always do without it but that should be a choice and not because you can’t use it because you have sensitive skin.

If this is you, you’ll be missing out on a lot. So, opt for earth-toned shadows. These ones have less pigment so, they’re safe for you and wouldn’t cause any irritation.
Scented Ironing Board
You can get your clothes to smell nice in different ways. You don’t only have to spray your perfume on directly, you can get your scent in indirectly.

When you want to press your clothes, spray your perfume on your ironing board. While ironing, the heat would press the scent right into your clothes and make it last all day. No one else will know why you smell so good.
De-Puffing Cucumber Teabag
Maybe you stayed up late, reading or watching a movie. Now, your eyes have to tell the story because they’re so puffy. Good thing there’s a quick way for you to get rid of that.

Cut 2 thin slices of cucumber, grab 2 tea bags, and leave them to cool in the fridge. Bring them out after a while and put each of them on both eyes. This helps the skin around your eyes relax and let go of that puffiness.
Pink Lipstick Shade Matching
There are many shades of pink. So, how would you know the one that would suit you the most? It’s easy because your body has figured that out for you.

Open your mouth and look at the color of your gums. What you’re seeing right there is the perfect shade of pink for you because it goes with your skin tone. Now, get yourself a pink lipstick of that shade and rock it.
Self-Tan Application
When you want to self-tan, you have to layer it properly so it doesn’t become a mess. So, get your hair dryer because you’ll be needing it. First, rub a layer of the self-tan lotion on the place you want to look sun-kissed.

Set your dryer to the cool setting and use it to blow-dry your skin. You can add another layer and blow-dry again, making the lotion dry faster, locking it in, and giving you a perfect tan finish.
Lip Contouring
You don’t always have to draw a boring line over the corners of your lip in the name of lip lining, you can make it different and make your lips fuller.

From the corners of your mouth, draw a line upwards to the middle of your upper lip before applying your lipstick. Those upward lines will create an illusion and make your lips appear fuller and sweet.
Hair Product Rations
There’s a way to get the perfect amount of products to use on your hair. Whether it’s gel, relaxers or your mousse, you can gauge them.

First, tie your hair into a ponytail and look at the base (where you tied it). The size of that circle will let you know how much of the products you’ll need. That way, you won’t use too little or too much.
