Many of us can’t even imagine our life without makeup. It doesn’t matter why you are makeup-less. All that matters is that you can easily remedy the situation in most cases. Here are some hacks for when you have no makeup and need to get creative…
Use tissues to sop up excess oil
If you’re ever in a situation where you have no makeup products around, recommend doing this, depending on what skin type you have. If you have oily skin, suggest heading to a nearest bathroom and take any towel or tissue and just apply the tissue to the areas that you’re oily and just blot and wipe away the dirt and oils that you can see.
Pinch those cheeks
A universal tip that several makeup gurus have suggested.Just pinch your cheeks with your fingers until you see a flush of pink come to your cheeks.
Lotion your lips
If you have chapped lips or are in need of some ‘oomph’, but are out of balm or gloss, grab any lotion or oil and apply to your lips for maximum moisture
You can heal the dryness and enjoy a little sheen in one swipe. You can also use said oil on your face to create an instant dewy look. Just apply with a light touch, because oil-slicked skin is not the desired effect here.
Curl lashes with your fingers
This one makes eyes look brighter and more awake and allows you to employ one of your digits as a tool when you’re without. Wet your index finger just a little bit and push and curl your eyelashes up using your fingers. Your fingers will almost act like an eyelash curler tool.
Bite it
Gently nibble on your own bottom lip for 25 seconds or so. You are not looking to draw blood or leave teeth marks, so apply light but consistent pressure with your top front teeth. This action will cause blood and color to rush to your lips. It has the same effect as being kissed when your lips look all sorts of full and ripe. Sure, this method is not as fun… but the end result is the same.
Fingers can double as brow combs
If you have unruly, untamed brows, and want to add a little polish and sleekness to your face but don’t have a brow brush or pencil, try this hack. Wet your brows and push them into place with your fingers to give them shape
Business cards or guitar picks can be eyeliner guides
If you have trouble creating an Adele-approved, cat-eye flick with liquid eyeliner pens or via a brush and a pot of gel liner — or just don’t have the right brushes to do so, don’t fret. You can totally use the edge of a business card or a guitar pick as a guide to trace the perfect line. The ‘flick’ is not as easy as it looks since it requires a steady hand and you are working with such a small plot of the facial real estate. Using a guide makes plotting that line a lot easier.
