Hack 1

Don’t want your makeup colours to clash? Go for the monochromatic look and use the same product on your cheeks as well as your eyes.

Hack 2

Want to create a dark-eye look but run out of liquid liner? Don’t fret – a clean makeup brush and some of your mascara will have the same dramatic effect.

Hack 3

Brows looking a bit sparse? You don’t need all sorts of fancy pomades to give the illusion of fuller eyebrows – just fill them in using a matching eye-shadow shade.

Hack 4

Another clever way to prevent your makeup colour scheme from clashing is to use your liquid lipstick on your cheeks as well. Just blend it quickly before it dries for a natural-looking flush.

Hack 5

You don’t need a high-end bronzer to achieve the perfect contour. A brown eye shadow that has a touch of shimmer is just as effective when applied correctly. Who’d have thought?
