Massaging your skin while you cleanse and moisturize will bring blood flow to the skin, rinsing out toxins and clearing up your skin as well as plumping it!!:$

Well sometimes when I
I run out of makeup remover or travel and forget it I use a lotion on a tissue and wipe my face with it I do it as many times as I need to until I see on the tissue that its barely dirty of makeup then I wash my face and dry it also works well for eye makeup you just have to be a bit more careful

Vaseline is great to remove makeup, I use it with a damp wipe.

If you have run out of brow gel, you could use tiny bit of hair spray. It'll hold your brows throughout the day.

These are my holy grail beauty hacks!

1. If it comes in a travel size, buy that first!
I have a bunch of high end products that I buy in travel sizes and they last me for about 6 months or more. A lot of the time, I find that with high end products you only need a very little amount so buying in travel size not only saves a ton of cash but you get a lot of use out of it. Not to mention that products have expiration dates so I'm able to follow that rule and not have to waste any product.

2. Cleansing balms
Oils remove makeup well, but they still leave behind an oily residue that gets in your eyes and you still have to soap off of your skin.
I love using cleansing balms because they apply like an oil, remove makeup like an oil, but rinse off like a milk/lotion cleanser! My favorites is clinique's take the day off cleansing balm.. just massage it off and rinse off. I can remove the fullest face in mere seconds.

3. Conditioner to shave/Men's razor
I prefer shaving with conditioner and a men's razor than shaving cream and a women's razor, I find it leaves my legs softer and I always get cuts when I use shaving cream and razor burn when I use a women's razor. Plus, its a lot cheaper!

4. Deep condition once a week!
It makes such a difference to your hair! I love my hot head deep conditioning cap which you heat up in the microwave and it uses renewable flax seeds. It's cute and colorful, and I can move around!

While I am setting my shadow primer with a skintone base shadow, I will also powder my brows, so my brow product will stick to my brows better. Instead of using thick concealer on the "triangle of light", I'll use a foundation 1 shade lighter for a more natural skin-like finish. It still brightens without being stark or obvious. I still use my concealer ,just on my dark circles. You can still use concealer for that dramatic bright look that full concealer gives. But using foundation instead of concealer could be an alternative day look or for those days, when you want a more natural look. I use a skinny thin pointy eyeliner brush to outline the underside of my brows before brushing brow product through the rest of my brows with a regular brow brush. I also like using a boar bristle brow brush to apply brow pomade because I feel it brushes the product all around each hair to really thicken the hairs not just filling them in. When I use a cheek stain, I'll put it on before my foundation for a lit from within flush. You can always add more stain over your foundation (or a powder blush) if your foundation covers it up too much. I'll also do the same with liquid highlighter. I keep a small jar of 50% foundation & 50% moisterizer in my purse, so if my foundation gets kinda cakey, I gently smooth it with a damp beauty blender or a mini flat top kabuki and tap on my mixture and blend. Adding straight foundation will just make it look worse and straight moisterizer has no coverage. When I wear blush , I always use at least two shades of blush. The first is a dusty neutral blush, then I add a brighter color for an airbrushed gradient finish. Sometimes I just wear the neutral blush alone, but I hardly ever just wear the bright blush by itself. If I end up buying a mascara I don't like, I'll make it my lower lash mascara cuz lower lashes don't need much. I recently bought a mascara that was really dry. I don't like it. So when I used one of my usual mascaras, and it got a little clumpy, I used the dry mascara to brush out the clumps and give my lashes a little bit of a feathery look. Speaking of feathery, sometimes I'll apply my favorite thickening mascara to the base of my lashes only, leaving my tips mascara-free. Then, I'll brush a lengthening mascara through the tips only.
