make up tutorials

While that extra cup of coffee at 8 o’clock last night seemed like a fabulous idea, the caffeine high until 4 in the morning was not.

Attempting to pull an all-nighter to finish that dreaded assignment may also seem like a great call, but the subsequent panda eyes can be frustrating. Or perhaps some suggested to ‘just go for one’ after a long work day and you couldn’t resist.

It happens, and when you have a busy day ahead the last thing you want to worry about is looking less than bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. So, these are some make up tricks to help you fake a fresh-faced look when you’re longing for a nap.

Dust white shimmer shadow across your eyelids and a beige shadow along the crease.

The slightly darker shade makes it seem like your eyes are bigger, so therefore more awake.

Line your upper waterline with black eyeliner.

Applying liner to the water line makes your lashes appear fuller, which is what really gives you the wide awake look.

Coat top lashes with mascara.

Two coats! Also, if you happen to have mascara with a curved wand, that can help you to reach the very corner lashes.

Brush bronzer along your cheekbones and pink powder on the apples of your cheeks.

Give yourself a nice fresh glow; as if you’ve been wide awake strolling in the sunshine for hours and haven’t just pried yourself from the duvet.

Apply a bold lip colour.

If all else fails, draw attention away from your sleepy eyes with a nice strong lip, just go for it.

While we have all been obsessing over smoky eye tutorials and spending silly amounts of time attempting to ensure absolute symmetry when it comes to our winged eyeliner; other makeup aficionados have been going down a different route.

Instead of dedicating their beauty routines to dark liner and  the same four shades of beige to dark brown shadows, more beauty bloggers are creating more unique looks and we love it. We already discovered that blue eyeshadow is making a bit of a comeback so we might as well embrace it and branch out.

Go for all gold everything:

Try a lighter take on the ‘smoky eye’

If you can’t part with the precious cat eye, add a second colour for some variety:

Embrace all of the pastels:

Or maybe spend less time on the eye makeup and go for a bold ruby lip instead:

Sometimes when your brows are on point, you don’t need any other make up:

But then there’s also this two-tone look that we are very intrigued by:

Or you can just go for it entirely and blow everyone’s mind, werk:

Sometimes you want to go out there and seize the day with a make-up game that is just so strong people will stop and ask you if you’re Kylie Jenner’s contour-master.

Other times your make-up regime is much more minimal. Who wants to set their alarm for the crack of dawn just to achieve the perfect powder to foundation ratio? We are busy ladies with important things to do! Ok, so mostly we just want an extra 5 minutes in bed.

To help you stop wasting time applying your make-up, we searched the vast inter-webs for you and rounded up a few simple make-up hacks that every girl needs to save themselves some time.

Contouring is not that much work. Just blend and apply your bronzer in the opposite direction so you make an '8' shape, then blend.

Fuller lips also do not require intense applications, just a light lip pencil.

 

Look, this person actually broke down great make-up routines to 3, 5 and 10 minute tutorials.

If you want thicker hair in less than 5 minutes, grab your eyeshadow

If your seriously lacking that full night of sleep glow, grab your highlight and cheat. Nail that dewy look in seconds.

Cheat your way to a great ombré manicure, not hanging around waiting for shades to dry.

Eyebrows have become one of the most talked about features in the beauty world of late, and it’s really no surprise why. Your eyebrows are what frame your face and when you get them on point, all of your most fabulous features will be emphasised. It might take some practice, but trust us, that feeling when your brows are living their best life is worth it.

So, if you’re feeling like those brows of yours could use a little TLC, fret not, we gathered up some of the most commons reasons our eyebrow game can be a little lacking. And remember; they’re supposed to be sisters, not twins, so work that arch ladies.

Are your eyebrows looking a little square?

 A harsh finish can make them look a little too done. You can avoid this little snafu no matter what beauty instrument is your go-to by using smaller strokes at this part of the brow to create a shape that doesn’t resemble a lego, or a maths problem.

Are your eyebrows too long?

Extending the length of your lashes can make your face look a little droopy. Avoid this by holding an eyebrow pencil diagonally from your nose towards your outer eye. If your brow is going past the pencil, stop, and think about your choices.

Do you shape your brows? 

Fuller brows are the ‘big thing’ right now, thank you Cara. But, bushy brows are another. If you don’t have time to see a professional to tame your brows, get a good tweezers and follow your natural shape (where the most hair is) and focus on just getting rid of the strays.

You don’t blend your eyebrow pencil?

What!? That is brow blasphemy. Blending is the best way to give your brows a natural shape. Remember you want to mimic the hairs already there, so use small and light strokes to give your brows some volume without going for intense brow definition.

Do you use too much? 

Look, the journey to on point brows is not an easy one. Sometimes the phrase ‘less is more’ needs to be repeated. Start applying gently, and remember it’s always easier to build up on the product if you want a stronger brow, than having to take everything off and start from scratch. Nobody wants that, nobody.
