What's your fave makeup trick.
Mine is using extension glue in place of lash glue when I'm all out! It works great and it last longer because it's tackier than the actual glue.....YOUR TURN =)

yeah it works great!

Setting your gel liner w/ powder eye shadows. Wherever I picked that up from [internet most likely, can't remember who or where...] but man, it was night and day! No more racoon eyes?! HALLELUJAH!  =D

Petrilude made a PSA about glueing false lashes with hair glue.

My fav is to exfoliate my lips with olive oil and sugar.

I would say using lipstick as blush. Works great for me!

I always curl my lashes before I put any shadow or liner on; otherwise I smudge my finished makeup. And I always push a thin line of liquid liner down into my upper lashes - it makes them look so much fuller!

I saw that Petrilude video, you really shouldn't be doing that, extension glue is for your hair not your eyes, your eyes are very sensitive and the chemicals aren't eye safe.
My trick is using NYX Jumbo Pencil in Orange as a colour corrector for the under eye circles, it's so much cheaper than a bobbi brown or eve pearl colour corrector and works nicely :)

Using extension glue for lashes is not safe at all around your eyes and I don't recommend it.

As for tips, I use clear nail polish to stop runs on pantyhose!

Using concealer on your lips before intense (red) lipstick to prevent feathering, using white in my inner corners of my eyes to make them appear wider (I think many people know that one haha), and mixing foundation with moisturizer for a DIY tinted moisturizer :)

I'm a self-made red head and after I've filled in my sparse brows with brunette brow powder (my brow hairs are black and I'm not wanting to tint them) I brush a bit of Bare Minerals Warmth onto my brows to warm them up and give just a hint of red in them. ;-)

I love taking a black kohl eyeliner and dipping it in Loreal Hip Gel Eyeliner and then applying it on my water line! It's VERY dark and stays so well! xoxo

Visine or clear eyes. A drop or two in each eye really brightens up your whole face, makes you look awake and alert, as well as bringing out the colors of your eye makeup and works especially well for photographs. Not something I would use everyday unless given the go ahead from a doctor but for those "special" days it can really make a HUGE difference.
