But that’s where we come in—to provide you with the truth about these beauty hacks. We’ve put together some of the best beauty secrets you don’t want to miss. Walk with us.
Simple Contouring
To create a contour, begin with the spot where the hollow of your cheekbone connects with your jawline. Apply a dot of your contour wand on the spot, but don’t move your brush back and forth like most people do while contouring to try to blend it out.

Instead, concentrate your blending just where you placed that dot because it creates the appearance of having higher cheekbones. This will help you contour your face more easily if you’ve ever been confused about it.
Blush as a Color Corrector
With proper application, you can save time and money by using makeup products for multiple purposes. For example, use an HD Pro Concealer in orange color as a cream blush.

This color corrector is much sought-after because it works well for darker skin tones and is affordable. If you’ve never used it, trust that a little will have a significant impact.
How to Use Blush as a Color Corrector
Start by swiping a little amount of the bright orange color onto your cheeks, then buff it along your cheekbones with a big, fluffy brush. You’ll get a stunning peach-colored blush on your cheeks as the pumpkin-colored hue blends.

We’re confident that you’ll enjoy this hack since it will enable you to make creative uses for products you may already own but have never considered.
Contouring Your Nose With Eyeliner
Using an eyeliner pencil gives you more control over the shape of your nose. So to begin, use a pencil liner instead of the typical cream or powder contour to draw fine lines.

If you’re having trouble finding contour products that suit your skin tone, you should give this hack a try. As much as you enjoy using a pencil liner on your lips and eyebrows, you will find it a game changer when you try using it on your nose.
Coloring your Lashes
In 2020, colorful lashes were all over social media, and the trend is still going strong today. You can create this look for yourself by merely applying a bright colored eyeliner to a few hairs to achieve a striped effect, as opposed to coloring the full lash.

Paint the lashes with a little brush and a matte, water-activated palette. And make sure the pigment you use is water-activated so that, after washing, the lash will return to its natural color. You can test out the trend without damaging your false lashes.
Brightening the Under-Eye
Concealer is a multipurpose product that works well as foundation, a highlighter under the eyes, and to cover up acne. But what if you highlighted the under-eye area with white concealer?

Using a concealer a shade lighter than your skin tone, you can mask the area directly beneath your eye to achieve a stunning appearance you can’t get over.
How to Brighten your Under-Eye
You can use an HD Pro Concealer in Highlighter for this hack. All you have to do is apply the bright white concealer directly under your eyebrows and eyes. This offers you a skeptical look before revealing the final result with the white pigment on your face.

The white concealer will make your under-eye highlight brighter without adding any flashback for a high-glam finish.
Adding a Heart Highlight on the Nose
Now, this contour technique for the nose is more for creative purposes than sculpting. We have a good feeling you’ll enjoy this trick if you’re into adventurous makeup looks.

Essentially, what you get is a little highlighter heart at the tip of your nose that gives your appearance something distinctive.
How to Add a Heart Highlight on the Nose
Begin by using a brown HD Pro Concealer to contour your nose. Draw two lines downward and place a tiny heart on the tip of your nose. Using a brush and sponge, blend while maintaining the heart’s contour.

Dust the area around the nose and heart with powder. Then sharpen the lines with concealer, apply pink blush along the bridge, and add shimmery highlighter on the nose and heart. Finish with faux freckles for an advanced appearance.
Maintenance Tips for a Lasting Makeup
To make your makeup last, start with a clean, moisturized face. Then, apply a primer to create a smooth base and help makeup settle. Make sure to use high-quality, long-lasting products and layer them lightly, setting each one with translucent powder.

Remember to use waterproof solutions for your eye makeup and finish with a setting spray to make everything stay in place. Finally, blot away any excess oil and avoid touching your face in order to preserve your makeup throughout the day.
The End
Since none of these tips are flawless, you can use the ones that work for you and leave the others. And if your regimen is already effective, there’s no need to attempt anything new. After all, if something isn’t broken, why fix it?
