How much are you willing to spend on beauty maintenance? Well, there’s nothing wrong with shelling a quite huge amount for beauty care. It’s also a way to treat yourself.
According to Byrdie, the monthly amount that the average woman spends on her appearance is about $313. If this is quite expensive for you, there are many ways to maintain yourself without spending too much.
And that’s by looking for beauty tips or hacks. There are many simple hacks that exist online and they will help you to keep your budget. Another good thing about beauty hacks is they make our lives a lot easier.
So here are 16 beauty hacks that you can rely on:
1. Use petroleum jelly for your eyelashes.
Apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to your eyelashes. You can do this even before putting products on your eyelashes. It helps the eyelashes to look fuller and even thicker.
2. Use tweezers as an eyebrow marker.
Using an eye pencil, put some colors on both edges of the tweezers. Then, use the tweezers as a marker to perfectly shape your brow. For the finishing touch, you can use an eyebrow brush and you can do your desired thickness.
3. The importance of using a lip liner
Some people might think that a lip pencil is no longer needed so long as you have lipstick. But no. Lipstick can help you highlight the sexy shape of your lips. You can also use it to draw lines on all the corners of your lips.
4. You’ll need lipstick, a tissue, powder, and a brush for this hack.
