1. Make your lipstick stay on all day with a tissue + translucent powder.
After you apply liner and lipstick, lay a piece of tissue over your lips — then tap some translucent face powder through it. It'll set the pigment without dulling the color. (For comparison's sake, we tried this trick with just lipstick versus the lipstick and powder combo — and the latter lasted half a day longer.)

2. Use Vaseline around your nails to catch any stray paint.
3. Also, use Vaseline to prevent your nail polish cap from drying shut.
Just apply a few spots of Vaseline onto the neck of the bottle. No more stuck caps!
4. To make DIY tinted moisturizer, mix equal parts of your daily moisturizer + your foundation.
5. If you have monolids, apply eyeshadow upwards, not outwards.
Instead of putting lighter eyeshadow in the inner corner of your eye (and darker shadow in the the outer "v"), try the vertical gradient technique. Put darker shadow right above your lash line, and gradually get lighter the closer you get to your brows.

6. A towel rack can double as a temporary drying station for makeup brushes.
This way, the bristles won't warp as they dry. Just loop each brush through a hair tie.
7. A microfiber sock can work in place of a Beauty Blender.
8. Blend lipliner toward the center of your lips to help prevent harsh lines from being left behind.
9. Dry, patchy skin? Prevent makeup from collecting in flaky spots by adding a few drops of face oil directly to foundation.
10. Test foundation on your neck (not your arm) for a more accurate match.
11. Fake a fan brush with just one bobby pin.
12. For more effective coverage, apply undereye concealer in a triangle shape — instead of in small dots.
With the triangle, you're creating a light arrow that draws attention to the brightest part of your eyes.
13. Buy travel-size mascara instead of full-size. For some brands, you'll actually save money in the long run.
14. Map out your eyebrows with three simple measurements.
15. And nail an easy, no-fuss contour by memorizing these four spots.
16. Blast your eyelash curler with a blowdryer for a few seconds before using for a more effective curl.
This even works on short, super straight lashes.
17. The key to perfect winged liquid liner? Scotch tape.
Just place a piece of tape parallel to the corner of your eye — angling it out toward the tip of your brow. You'll get a sharp, clean edge every time.
18. Spray hairspray on a clean spoolie (or an upcycled mascara wand) to keep full brows in check.
This also works well if you're out of brow gel.
19. Want the staying power of a lip stain without the intensity? Apply a stain as the first step of your makeup routine — then wipe it off at the end, and top with balm.
The balm will soften the overall effect — leaving your lips more pigmented, but still natural.
20. Toilet seat covers can double as oil blotting sheets in a pinch.
21. Brush your lips as the last step of your morning toothbrushing routine — it'll be the perfect quick exfoliator before you apply lipstick or gloss.
Or exfoliate before bed, top with a hydrating balm, and wake up to fully prepped lips. With temperatures getting colder, either way will help prevent dryness and cracking.
Plus, a few hacks that DIDN'T work for us at all:
22. Making a DIY setting spray of aloe vera gel + witch hazel — a Pinterest favorite — isn't worth it.
23. The two-for-one of applying eyeliner directly to your eyelash curler is a waste of time. (And makeup!)
We were skeptical upfront, but this hack is still all over the internet — so we tried it anyway. The results were super uneven.
24. Vinegar and lemon doesn't work in place of nail polish remover.
