3 Quick Eye Makeup Tricks That Will Change Your Life
Getting your eye makeup right can be a tricky task. But it doesn’t have to be a labor-intensive endeavor. In fact, some of the best eye makeup tricks are also some of the easiest! Here are three of our favorite and most useful eye makeup cheats, all of which offer big impact with minimal effort.
Open Up Your Eyes With White Eyeliner
If you have small, narrow eyes and want to open them up—or if you just want to look more awake and wide-eyed—white eyeliner can do the trick. Use a smudgy pencil eyeliner in white (we love Stila’s Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Alpine, $20) to line your waterline and inner corners. You’ll instantly look less tired, and your eyes will appear to be bigger.
Heat Your Eyelash Curler
To add some serious oomph to your eyelashes, a heated eyelash curlers makes the world of a difference. The heat will give your lashes a more uniform curl, as well as help hold the shape. The Blinc Heated Lash Curler, $24 only needs one battery to operate and delivers just the right amount of heat. Safety first!
Coat Your Lashes with Baby Powder
This trick can work well for anyone, but it’s particularly effective if you have thin, limp lashes. Curl your eyelashes and apply one coat of your favorite mascara. Then dust baby powder (you can also use translucent powder like Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, $37) onto your lashes with a fluffy eye shadow brush. The powder adds texture and gives your lashes extra gripping power, so the second coat that you apply adds serious volume and length.
