With this trick you can give yourself an optical lip lift

You are not blessed with super full lips? never mind With this simple hack you can easily make them up. With the so-called “Bow and Arrow” method (German: Pfeil und Bogen) – this is the absolute insider tip for a sexy kissable mouth.

Here’s how it works: It’s best to prepare your lips with a scrub and then apply a moisturizing lip butter. For the contouring you need a contour pencil, lip liner in a darker color and a gloss that is a little lighter than the liner. If you want to create a natural look, choose tones that are similar to your lip color. Use the contour pencil to make a small arrow under your nose pointing to your heart on the lips. Then you frame your lower lip in a crescent shape with a little distance and blend everything. You repeat the procedure for the middle of the lip, but the contour pencil is exchanged for the liner. Apply some gloss to finish. The plumping effect is complete!

The ideal tool for the perfect beach waves

Round brush with a difference! On Instagram we discovered a video that gives the term a whole new meaning! The brush used by hair stylist “mattloveshair” is actually round. And more than the round brushes that we know so far. Because they are long too. Matt, on the other hand, uses a tool that looks like a small ball. The gadget has bristles all around, like a brush. And he also shows how to use it – and what it can do!

The stylist and self-declared “hair lover” blow-dryed his hair, pulling the round bust through his long strands as usual. And the result is the perfect curl. “This part gives the round brush a whole new meaning,” the stylist writes about his clip, and you can clearly see his enthusiasm. Now the only question for us is: How do we get hold of this miracle part?

This eyeliner hack is a game changer for sagging eyelids

A beautiful eyeliner never really goes out of style. It puts a great focus on the eye area and lets it shine. You can also play with the length, width and shape – curved or straight, with wings or without – so that the eyes appear either round, oval or cat-shaped. But the perfect eyeliner takes a little practice. And anyone who has droopy eyelids has to face another challenge straight away. Because with a little to no visible eyelid crease, any eye make-up disappears quickly. With this practical tip, your eyeliner will pop despite a droopy eyelid.

It is also important that you draw the line as thinly as possible and apply it close to the lash line. It is best to use liquid eyeliner for this, which can be used very precisely. The outer line – the so-called wing – can then swing upwards. The trick here is to only go so far that the line doesn’t disappear into the crease of the eye. Et voilà, the perfect eyeliner look is done.

This is how you prevent mascara goofs on the upper eyelid

Who doesn’t know it: The mascara was applied to the eyelashes with the utmost precision and even more contortions, and yet at the end of the make-up routine there are nasty little mistakes on the lid or in the eyebrows. Annoying! But it also happens to professionals that the mascara hangs everywhere after make-up – unless they use this effective trick. With a small step after the inking you can safely get rid of the mess problem from now on.

And it’s so easy: Apply your mascara as usual, but then without waiting long go over the tips with a transparent eyebrow gel. This not only gives your eyelashes an extra portion of shine, but also seals them. Bonus: Due to the shaping texture of the brow product, the eyelashes are automatically curved upwards and get additional momentum. Annoying stamping of wet mascara – with this trick we can now safely forget.
