5 Make-Up Hacks Every Student Must Know

We are all aware that keeping up with fashion or beauty trends can be challenging and time-consuming. To top it all, imagine being a university kid; it perhaps would have been a recipe for disaster. Whether you are an aspiring make-up artist or just are passionate about it, there are numerous DIY beauty hacks which will benefit you, no matter what. It wouldn’t probably matter even when your funds are low. On the bright side, if you are someone who is looking to build your make-up skills and become an expert, now is the chance. Capital Education offers many specialized make-up programs for all budding artists driven by passion and talent. For now, read on these few make-up hacks that can help during your day-to-day activities.

Use baby powder as a dry shampoo

Imagine you have just woken up and have no time to wash your hair as you rush for your 9 am lecture, what do you do! Well, baby powder is here for your rescue. Simply sprinkle some baby powder onto the roots of your hair and brush them gently. Well, it works as a dry shampoo and not to forget, it is highly affordable and convenient to use!

Use sellotapes for smokey eyes

The struggle is real! There may be times when you are rushing in for a night out and there is not enough time to perfect your smokey eyes. To make things easier, you can create a sharp line with the use of sellotapes and then continue your eye make-up as you wish. Once done, gently peel the tape and you will see a perfectly crisp line. The satisfaction of peeling the tape and seeing the result is satisfying, isn’t it?

Highlight & Contour

When you attempt to do your highlight and contour, instead of applying the concealer under the eyes in an oval shape, try creating an upside-down triangle shape. This is helpful as it will lift your face and make you look wide awake. On the other hand, when it comes to contouring, create a similar kind on your forehead, jawline and cheeks with a bronzer. You shall look flawless within a matter of a few minutes!

Multiple-purpose make-up items

When you are shopping within a tight budget, it is always essential to look at items that can serve multiple purposes. For instance, you can use your white shimmery eye shadow as a highlighter. This is because bronzers are known for creating a brilliant eye shadow look. On the other hand, you can use mascara in the place of eyeliner and cream brushes can potentially replace lipsticks. When you find your eye shadow is not paying off with the best colours, simply wet your brushes and apply your shadow. That’s it – you are rewarded with pigmentation for days.

Vaseline – make-up mistakes

Night Outs can sometimes turn crazy! Well, this is not good for your make-up looks as the following day you may wake up with black eyeshadow and eyeliner messing up your face. Suddenly, you may see panda eyes looking at you! If that’s the case – not to worry as we have it covered. Just grab a piece of cotton bud with some Vaseline on and clean the edge. Easy isn’t it, and well, cheap as chips!
