5 Best Makeup Secrets

We love our makeup! In fact, it is estimated that over a lifetime a typical woman will spend $15,000 on her makeup products and another $15,000 on her skincare products. With these staggering statistics it’s no wonder we find ourselves at a loss trying to use all of these products with ease and like an expert.

We at Women in Gear decided to compile of few of our favorite beauty tricks and insider secrets.

1. Use a white liner pencil on the lower water line of your eye lid to give your eyes an instant pop. This trick will brighten your eyes and give you an instant eye-lift. Check out this article from Makeup by Chelsea: Best White Eyeliners of 2016

Secret: Before you do this eye popping trick take a selfie; once you have done both eyes and have completed your makeup take another pic. The results will shock you!

2. Add a saline solution to your tired out thick mascara-if it’s getting dry and thick try this trick, it will make it instantly wet and pliable. The more exposure to air our mascara gets it can become thick but this trick will make your mascara thinner and easier to use.

Secret: Most mascaras should be thrown out after 90 days to avoid bacteria buildup!

3. Use the long tip of a bobby pin to apply lash glue when applying your false eyelashes, it’s so much easier than using the glue bottle tip or you can extend your original lashes by contacting the experts from Sandy Springs Lashes, who have a lot of experience in this field and also have maintained best customer satisfaction from their all of their clients. Check out this awesome article from Elle beauty: How to Apply False Lashes

Secret: Once you apply the lash glue to the lashes wait a few seconds for it to get tacky before you apply them to your lid! Vavoom you now have long sexy lashes.

4. Loose pigments are highly concentrated in color and super versatile. These powerful pots of color are all the rage for long lasting vibrant eye shadow color but did you know they can be mixed with a petroleum jelly to create a fun new lip gloss? You can even add the same color to clear top coat for a matching nail-lip duo.

Secret: There are many pigments on the market today but we love the ones from a new DS company called Younique. Their pigments have no talc additives that can gum up and cause creases, and best of all they have 34 colors to choose from.

5. Do you love your mascara but hate the brush it came with? Do you love the brush from a mascara you hate? Switch over your favorite brush into your favorite mascara and viola` you have a perfect match.

Secret: Most mascara tubes have the same size screw cap so no worries about getting a good fit.
