Some makeup trends seem to transcend time while others just fade away into the night. As we near closer to the halfway mark of 2019, what trends have you tried so far this year? Whether you’re into making a statement with brightly-colored eyes or stunning pink lips, or are embracing a vegan, cruelty-free line of cosmetics, here are a few of the latest on-trend products and looks making the rounds this season. Bold, Colorful Eyeliners It can be tough for minimalist types to switch up their makeup colors, but as spring leads into summer it’s a good time to temporarily shelf the go-to black or brown eyeliner and embrace a splash of color. From electric blue to neon orange, famous and non-famous women alike can be seen on Instagram or pages of magazines playing with all sorts of bright colors on their lids and lashes. While the bold colors do seem to make a statement, they aren’t necessarily for everyone or every occasion. Opt for a happy medium with a navy matte or plum shimmer eyeliner instead. You can at least wear either of those colors no matter where you go during the day or night. More importantly, pick a waterproof eyeliner that’s long-lasting and high-performing, but also healthy for your eyes. Look for a formula that contains jojoba oil to condition your lids and lashes. Monochromatic Magic It sounds almost too simple to use the same color on your eyes, cheeks, and lips. But if done right, the monochromatic makeup look is a pretty cool trend. Shades of pink are about as summery as it gets. Or, you could try a gold shimmer on the lips, cheeks, and eyelids. For a truly monochromatic look, you could buy one of those 3-in-1 color sticks that are made to go on your lips, cheeks, and even your body. How about a weightless cream formula that melts into your skin for a beautiful glow? Yes, it does exist. The Triple Threat Color Stick™ from Thrive Causemetics is one such product and it comes in four lovely, shimmery shades. Its versatile all-day formula is also easy to blend so it should never look streaky or blotchy. Multitasking CC Cream Makeup that also acts as skincare never goes out of style. As summer approaches, try skipping the full-coverage foundation and choose a product that can do everything you need it to do. A high-quality, buildable color-correcting cream can act as a primer, foundation, and even as an upgraded tinted moisturizer with SPF. A CC cream is great for concealing fine lines and pores and one with a buildable formula can easily provide sheer to full coverage. Look for a weightless, oil-free CC cream that contains broad spectrum SPF 35 sunscreen to protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays. After all, achieving that special glow starts with taking care of your skin. Brightly Tinted Lips If you decide to stick with your tried-and-true black or brown eyeliner and mascara, switch the focus from bright eyes to bright lips. Happy shades of pink and bold, powerful shades seem to be making a statement this spring and summer. If the focus is on the lips with lighter makeup in the background, you’re sure to be on-trend this season.

Even outdoorsy girls want to look cute during their all-day hikes, mountain bike rides, and paddle boarding sessions. And there’s nothing wrong with wearing makeup on your adventures if that’s how you roll—the right products can even protect and hydrate your skin while you’re on your next adventure. That said, do what works best for you and what makes you feel the most comfortable while getting after it in the great outdoors. The main goal is to carry out your activity without your makeup sweating off, so choosing lightweight summer makeup is probably your best bet. If you really love the outdoors and the creatures in it, you’ll go with a cruelty free makeup line that does not test their products on animals. It only makes sense. Here are a few other tips for the makeup-wearing outdoorswoman to keep in mind before her next outing. The Night Before: Prep Your Skin for Adventure You can wake up with radiant skin on the morning of your big outing with a little bit of planning. The night before, apply a product such as a brightening overnight mask to your clean face and neck before going to sleep. Look for a formula that restores moisture and rejuvenates the skin while you rest, so that you can wake up with a smooth, bright, and hydrated complexion. A powerful overnight mask should contain vitamin C to even out skin tone and provide powerful antioxidant protection. To further hydrate and plump the skin, look for hyaluronic acid as an ingredient. An overnight mask is an easy way to wake up feeling fresh-faced and ready to go. The Next Morning: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize, SPF When you wake up, rinse off your overnight mask with a gentle cleanser, then use a toner and apply a moisturizer before putting on your makeup. Taking care of your skin is just as important as the makeup you apply to your face. After all, your makeup will work better on skin that’s treated with TLC. CC Cream with Broad Spectrum SPF 35 Instead of wearing a full-coverage foundation that’s likely to slide off your face in the heat, go with a multitasking color-correcting cream. A high-quality CC cream can do everything you want it to do. Choose an oil-free formula that’ll work like an upgraded version of tinted moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF 35. The best CC creams will act as a primer, foundation, concealer, moisturizer, and sunscreen all in one. A buildable CC cream allows you to use one pump to cover your face for more sheer coverage (which would be similar to wearing it as a daily face moisturizer with SPF). For more coverage, use two or three pumps. Just make sure the CC cream you select contains broad spectrum SPF so you’re protected from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Waterproof Eye Makeup To avoid the dreaded raccoon eyes, be sure to invest in a high-quality waterproof eyeliner pencil. Heat and humidity can cause eye makeup to run into your eyes, which could irritate them. Choose a product with high-performance vegan ingredients that won’t smudge or irritate your eyes, such as jojoba oil, sodium hyaluronate, and ceramide 3. These ingredients will also hydrate and condition lids and lashes. Lip Protection Choose a creamy, hydrating lip color in pink or peach for a traditional summery look. Whether you’re opting for a matte liquid lipstick or more of a gloss, make sure the formula is hydrating and long-lasting so you can pay more attention to the adventure ahead instead of constantly reapplying. Overall, try to keep your makeup simple and employ multitasking formulas that hydrate and protect so you’re able to have fun doing what you love outdoors and look good doing it.

Depending on where you live, beach season is here or just around the corner, which means it’s time to get busy relaxing and perfecting your beach look. After all, the last things you want to worry about are getting sunburned or your makeup not working well in the heat—there’s way too much fun to be had. Fortunately, with a few makeup and skincare tips, you can achieve a nice, healthy glow on any beach day. Water Resistant Products When it comes to your eyes, you don’t want to rock the raccoon look at the beach. Waterproof eyeliner is amazing because it is designed to stay put under oily, sweaty, or wet conditions. Look for a nourishing formula packed with ingredients meant to condition the eyelids, such as jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides. Also opt for a high-quality, water resistant tubing mascara that won’t clump, flake, or smear. With a tubing mascara, you get the look of faux lashes without the glue. Opt for a Multitasking CC Cream It’s probably unnecessary to wear foundation to the beach, especially when you can use a buildable CC cream with built-in SPF 35 that also doubles as a tinted moisturizer. Choose a gentle, skin-loving formula with vitamin C to provide anti-aging benefits and flaxseed extract to absorb oils and reduce shine. Look for a broad spectrum formula to protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays. By simply applyingaCC creamwith these attributes and building it up until you get your desired coverage you’ll be able to cut out multiple products. Lipstick or No? Wearing lipstick to the beach might be up for debate among some, but if you’re feeling it, you should do it. You could choose a productthat enhances your natural lip color, or you could outline and fill in your lips with a long-wearing, plumping lip liner. If you’re taking the latter route, just be sure the products you use provide hydrating color that’s feather and fade-proof.If you’re opting for a lip stain, don’t forget to add a balm with broad spectrum SPF over the top.After all, your lips need as much protection from UVA and UVB rays as the rest of your face and body. Go for Glow You don’t want a blush or bronzed look that’s too contoured or overdone for the beach. Go with a bronzer or peach-colored blush and lightly apply it to the apples of your cheeks and work outward. You could also use a cheek tint or a cream instead of a powder. No matter what you decide to do with your makeup, you should feel comfortable in your own skin and ready to take on your beach day. Let your inner beach goddess out for the day. And don’t forget the sunscreen!

If your lipstick game is strong, you’ve likely fully embraced the velvety edginess of a matte lip by now. When done right, you can make a statement with staying power. Create your flawless matte finish with these following four tips. 1. Exfoliate First Be sure to start with a smooth canvas. Dry, dead skin cells are often what makes your lipstick look rough and uneven. Gently exfoliate your lips before applying any lip color. You can purchase or even create a quick lip scrubby combining honey and sugar. Gently rub the mixture onto your lips to exfoliate. 2. Choose a Hydrating Formula A great matte lip doesn’t have to look dried out and forced. Look for a product with ultra-hydrating ingredients and a blend of quality oils that treat and condition lips with every application. A hydrating matte lipstick should be so comfortable that you forget you’re even wearing it (until you look in the mirror, of course). The best long-lasting liquid matte lipstick should go from cream to matte in one swipe of the wand. It should also offer a quick-drying, weightless but full coverage formula that will last all day. 3. Use Lip Liner to Perfectly Define Draw your pout with a lip liner before applying liquid lipstick to get the most out of your color and keep it in place. You want to line your lips first so you know where to color in. You can buy lipstick and lip liner sets that are designed to blend nicely. You want to get a lip liner that is smudge-proof and long-lasting but that also has hydrating oils that nourish the lips. Look for a lip liner that has shea butter and jojoba oil to hydrate and protect your lips. For a fuller-looking pout, you can draw lip liner slightly outside of your natural lip line. Otherwise, it’s fine to draw directly on the lip line. Just be sure every lip product you choose is skin-loving, high-performing, and part of a line of cruelty free makeup products. 4. Blot Lips—But Not on a Tissue You’ve put the work into creating the perfect lip look, so don’t forget to seal the deal by blotting your lips. By doing this you are helping to set the pigment into your lips, which is necessary if you want your lipstick to stay in place all day. It seems most of us are trained to grab a tissue to blot. But fight the urge—this approach can actually leave small white particles on your lips from the tissue and can mess up your lip look. Tissue also tends to dull the lipstick’s hue and then you end up reapplying it. Instead, kiss a piece of paper because paper tends to absorb the oils better, more evenly, and without compromising your application. For a softer, diffused look, blot until you get your desired color. Lipstick can be a great way to complete your look. Whether you’re in the mood to try something new or have been rocking a bold lip for years, opt for a hydrating matte lipstick and wear it with pride.

Add Drama to Your Eyelids You can create any look you want with a well curated eyeshadow palette. Choose a palette with matte, highlighting, and liner shades. With a great all-around warm neutral palette, you can create a workday look, an intense highlighted look, or even a dramatic smoky eye for nighttime fun. For an intensified look, some eyeshadows can be applied with a slightly moist brush. And don’t forget to apply an eye brightener, like the Brilliant Eye Brightener™ from Thrive Causemetics, to your brow bone, lids, corners of eyes, and waterline for an instant eye lift. (It’s the secret to looking like you got 10 hours of sleep the night before.) Lengthen Your Lashes What’s awesome about really great tubing mascara is that you can create the illusion of falsies without the glue. The best tubing mascara will have a formula that won’t smudge, clump, or flake. A high-quality tubing mascara creates water-resistant, tube-like enclosures over each lash. For a fuller-looking lash, coat both sides of your eyelashes. For some doe-eyed drama, zig-zag the wand back and forth on your lashes as you drag up the wand. Tubing mascara can even be used as a mascara for eyelash extensions if you’re going after a really bold and glamorous eye look. Use a Buildable CC Cream There is no doubt you want your face to look photo-ready when you are out with your girlfriends because you know selfies are waiting to be had. Look for a color correcting cream that matches your skin tone and that will blur and diffuse skin imperfections. A product with vitamin C is beneficial because it evens and brightens your skin tone with antioxidant benefits. The best CC creams will be buildable, which means you can wear it as sheer coverage or layer it to provide more coverage. Rock a Bold Lip A night out with your besties is a great time to make a statement with your lips and try something new. If you usually wear a neutral tone during the day, try spicing it up with a deep cranberry, coral, berry pink shimmer, or deep blue red. It’s fun to try a color you’ve never worn before. Choose a glossy, hydrating serum that has a beautiful stain and isn’t sticky on the lips. Or, try a matte liquid that provides weightless but full coverage with a smooth matte finish. Either way, make sure you’re using a quality formula so your lips feel hydrated. There are many lip-loving formulas out there, especially if it’s vegan makeup that is sulfate and paraben-free. Time spent socializing with friends always lifts our spirits, boosts our confidence, and makes us happier. Dressing up and putting on makeup is the icing on the cake. Cheers, ladies.

Beauty trends are absolutely still relevant, but today’s consumers seem to be more propelled to find high-quality products that suit them on a personal level and align with their beliefs. Gimmicks don’t fool savvy beauty buyers. They are looking for authenticity in the brands they support. They are looking for individuality. They are looking for vegan, cruelty free cosmetics that don’t harm animals. They’re looking for premium products that don’t contain harmful ingredients like parabens or sulfates. New trends, ingredients, colors, and formulations come around every season in the beauty and makeup industry. And that’s a good thing! However, let’s look at three areas where brand value goes beyond skin deep. What’s in My Makeup? More than ever, people want to know what’s in the products they are purchasing: food, makeup, clothes—you name it. There’s a growing segment of the population who will only buy vegan and cruelty-free beauty products because it aligns with their values. In fact, there’s been a 175% increase in vegan launches since 2013, which speaks to arising desire for products that are not tested on animals and that do not include any ingredients derived from animals. People want to be able to look at labels or a company’s website for specific ingredients to make sure they are in fact buying cruelty-free vegan cosmetics. Companies that care about their mission will not only state they are 100% vegan and cruelty-free but will only offer skin-loving, high-performing products that also contain no sulfates or parabens. Does the Company Help Other People? Many beauty brands today want you to look good on the outside—but they are also taking it a step further to use their platform to support causes close to their hearts. As a result, brands are charged with being authentic and transparent in their delivery. When you invest in a beauty product, it’s nice to know that the company you are purchasing from gives back through philanthropic initiatives you can get behind. Even one product or donation can make a difference in someone’s life, so be sure to read a brand’s mission statement to see if they are donating in-kind products, a percentage of their sales, or things of that nature. Every company that changes the beauty industry for the better will stand out from the crowd. Consumers value philanthropy as much as they do innovation. Do the Products Solve My Needs as a Consumer? Women want to feel beautiful and healthy, so if a cosmetics company can offer them what they need to feel that way, companies are more likely to see loyalty to their brand. This means offering high-quality beauty products that both work and are good for the skin. Products that are irritating to the skin or contain harmful ingredients are not a good look for anyone. Check labels to make sure that the cosmetics you’re putting on your face are free of parabens and sulfates in addition to being vegan and cruelty-free. After all, everyone wants to feel beautiful and their best inside and out.

Our siblings can be the most thoughtful, fun, and all-around greatest people we have in our lives. To celebrate that special bond, consider giving them a gift on April 10 in honor of National Siblings Day; a day to spend time with your partner in crime and show your appreciation for everything they do. Even once the day has passed, there’s never a bad time to give a gift to your sister and acknowledge the special relationship you share. If your sister is a makeup lover, chances are she’d benefit from being gifted some essentials and would also be happy to try something new. Whatever the case, gifting her any of these products is sure to make her day. The Gift of Bold Brows Mastering the perfect bold brow takes time, a steady hand, and most importantly the right tools and products. Your sister works hard to get those bold brow looks, so why not gift an entire set of brow and eye essentials to make her life a tad bit easier? You should look for a complete set with everything she needs including brow liner and brow gel, along with some other bright-eyed essentials like a brightener and liquid mascara for the complete attention-grabbing look. Faux Eyelashes For those special nights out, a pair of quality faux lashes can take a look to the next level. When it comes to gifting false eyelashes, you should choose a vegan, cruelty-free option to help your sister perfect an eye-popping look. Pick up a set that complements her existing look or give her something new to try. Whichever you choose, just make sure not to forget the eyelash glue! Lip Filler + Liner For a bold lip look that lasts all day and well into the evening, a premium lip filler + liner is a must. A good lip liner serves as the “do not cross” line to keep your lipstick from coloring outside the lines. The best lip fillers will do more than just line but will also nourish lips with high-quality ingredients like jojoba oil, shea butter, and meadowfoam seed oil. Buildable CC Cream + Broad Spectrum SPF Protection A quality CC cream will do the work of three products all in one to save your sister time in the morning while also providing flawless coverage. You should choose a CC cream that does more than just cover imperfections, but that also hydrates, moisturizes, and has built-in broad spectrum UVA and UVB SPF protection.Lastly, the best CC creams also come in a variety of shades, serving as a foundation for the rest of your sister’s look. A Cute Bag to Hold It All Together Finally, if your sister could use a small organizational push or you know she just loves bags, wrap all of your gifts up in a cute makeup bag that she’ll cherish forever. Shop a wide selection of prints or go bold with a printed phrase that perfectly describes how most of us feel during the workweek: “My life isn’t perfect, but my lashes are."

Here are a few tips and tricks to make work travel a breeze, along with makeup tips to help make sure you look your best once you arrive. Pack Only the Essentials As any makeup lover knows, when traveling—even for just a quick weekend—it can be hard not to pack the whole kit. The thing is, for a work trip, the lighter that you can pack the better since you’ll likely only have one carry-on bag. For this reason, consider leaving your glimmer eyeshadow palette and lipstick collection at home, and stick to the sulfate and paraben free makeup essentials that you’ll absolutely need on the trip. Once you breeze past security and off the plane, you’ll be happy that you packed light. Choose Multitasking Products As a part of your mission to pack lighter, you should choose products that do more than just one thing to save space not only while you’re traveling, but also in your daily makeup routine at home. For example, products like a buildable CC cream will provide you with the benefits of a tinted moisturizer while concealing and offering broad spectrum SPF protection so you can skip using separate products for each need and put on your daily look in record time. Protect Against Plane Air If you’re flying to your destination, then you’re going to need something to fight against the drying effects of the pressurized air in the cabin. Consider packing a hydrating sheet mask for your trip there and back. It’s also great to have a multitasking CC cream that offers moisturizing properties so your face is refreshed and ready to go as soon as you step off the plane. Prep for the Destination During the beginning of the spring season, depending on where you're traveling, the weather can be wildly different. Some parts of the country are enjoying sunny skies in the high 80s while other areas might still feel a bit brisk. Wherever you're going, make sure that you're prepared and have the right tools. Although you might spend most of the trip cooped up in an office or conference hall, for the time you’ll spend outside, you should protect your skin with a CC cream that works as an upgraded face moisturizer with SPF. With this product, you can not only blur and diffuse any skin imperfections, but you can also protect your face from harmful UVA and UVB rays with broad spectrum SPF 35.

As a go-to product in any sweat proof makeup collection, waterproof liquid eyeliner is an essential for warmer months but it is also fantastic for year-round looks. Yes, it may take some practice to learn how to apply it just right, but there’s no need to be intimidated. Getting the perfect look with liquid eyeliner is actually easier than you might think. Just follow these tips and give these looks a try and you’ll become a liquid eyeliner pro in no time. Start with the Right Tool Part of the reason that some people have a bad first experience with liquid eyeliner is because they're using the wrong tool. For well-defined lines, you need a superfine tip that goes on smoothly and makes thin lines that you can slowly build up with every pass. Especially if you're new to liquid eyeliner, starting with something thinner and building up from there can make the process a lot easier.When shopping around, you’ll find that the best liquid eyeliner has a strong, superfine tip that provides maximum control along with semi-permanent pigments, so your artfully crafted lines hold strong all day. Hold the Applicator Just Right Along with having the right tip, you want to make sure that you're putting on your liquid eyeliner the easy way. A simple trick is to hold the applicator toward the end rather than near the tip. When you hold the applicator too close to the tip, you often end up pressing too hard, which can make the lines look a bit jagged instead of clean and well defined. Holding it near the end puts less pressure on the tip, and you also have more control with every line. Utilize Short Strokes While you can try lining your entire lid in one fell swoop, even professionals know that you have to start small and build up from there. So, start with short strokes when applying your eyeliner and connect them as you go along. It's recommended to start your first short stroke at the base of the lash line with the tip laid horizontally along the line. Give the tip a gentle press and complete the short stroke. With this method, the full line will look more defined and follow a consistent thickness. The Tight Line for the Minimalist Look If you want a more minimalist look, then a tight line with your liquid eyeliner is the way to go. Using short strokes, start in the middle of your eye and move outward working in between the lashes the whole way. Starting in the middle is vital since this is usually where the line arches and when you smoothly glide the line to the outer and inner eye, you’ll have a clean, minimalist look that highlights your natural features. Nailing the Winged Tip The coveted, perfect winged tip is super easy with the right liquid eyeliner and a simple flick of the wrist. Simply start with short strokes and a tight line but add a flick to the end of the line following the natural curve of your lower lash line. Continue building up until you have the dramatic look you’re looking for (and double-check to make sure both eyes look even).

Spring is here, and you know what that means—pool parties and days spent out and about in the sun are almost here. As you start your spring cleaning, you should also start prepping your makeup game to keep up with your fun in the sun adventures. While wearing your sunscreen is a must, just because you’re protecting your skin doesn’t mean you have to forgo trendy new looks. Here are a few tips to not only keep your skin safe this spring but also look good doing it. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize It's no secret that warm air and blasting sunlight can dry out your skin, but if you do the prep work, it doesn't have to be that way. During the warmer months, make sure that you're moisturizing your face daily to fight against dryness. This process doesn't need to be time-consuming, and you may not even need to add another product to your routine if you’re already employing an effective CC cream. A premium CC cream can function as multiple products in one, working as a tinted moisturizer as well as a concealer and foundation. Look for a CC cream that uses innovative cosmetic technology along with nourishing ingredients like flaxseed extract and vitamin C that your skin will thank you for. Broad spectrum SPF 35 is also a must to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Stand Up to Water You never know when a day spent shopping will quickly lead to a day at the beach or next to the pool. For these unexpected water activities, you need to be prepared, and your makeup should be too. Get waterproof or water resistant variants of your favorite makeup essentials like eyeliner, mascara, and eyebrow liner for a look that’s sure to stun when you’re relaxing by the water. Brighten Your Eyes Dense, dark eyeshadow looks cute during the winter months, but with the transitioning of seasons, consider changing up your look to something a bit lighter and brighter so you can head out the door a bit sooner and enjoy the sun. For the warm weather, try switching to an eye brightener that gives a light shimmer to reflect and open up your eyes. Look for one that uses innovative technology to diffuse light and define your features while also nourishing your skin and limiting the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines. Lighten Up During the warmer months, less can be more. After all, the more products you have on your face, the more products you may have to worry about smudging or smearing in the sun. During the warmer spring months, try and consolidate the products that go into your signature looks. Switching to a premium CC cream, for example, will work like a tinted sunscreen, moisturizer, and foundation all in one.

For some makeup wearers, the application is an art. For others, it’s a necessary part of work and social outings, but they’re just going through the motions. For other ladies, it’s a chance to have fun and get creative. There’s no doubt all of these makeup-wearing beauties have stumbled upon makeup hacks, whether by trial and error or reading about tricks of the trade. Hopefully, they’ve shared their wisdom with you along the way. If not, here are a few makeup tips and tricks every woman should know. Makeup Hacks for Your Face Makeup Hack #1: You don’t need a separate moisturizer, primer, or foundation if you go for a top-notch, buildable CC cream that can act as a tinted moisturizer with SPF. Plus, you aren’t only covering up redness, uneven skin tone, or other imperfections; you’re infusing your skin with skin-plumping peptides, skin-brightening vitamin C, and fine line reducing antioxidants. The best products will act as an upgraded version of a tinted sunscreen, offering broad spectrum SPF 35 protection from UVA and UVB rays. Makeup Hack #2: Get a quality blending sponge to give yourself a professional, airbrushed look. The Blend + Blur Sponge by Thrive Causemetics is a great example of a soft, water-activated sponge that gives you complete control in applying liquids, creams, and powders to your face. You could try the stippling technique where you gently tap the sponge on your face and blend using quick patting motions to deposit makeup onto your skin and blend it simultaneously. Makeup Hacks for Your Lips Makeup Hack #1: Embrace lip sets. For a subdued daytime work look, choose a matte lipstick. For the party after work, opt for a glossy version. What’s great is getting a matte and gloss set where you can wear the matte liquid lipstick of your choice during the day and then apply a high-shine lip topper for a more festive look in the evening. Makeup Hack #2: Say goodbye to colorful but dry lips by using a liquid lipstick or lip serum that offers long-lasting color in a hydrating formula. You don’t have to choose between a healthy pout and a pop of color. Well hydrated lips will not only feel better, but they’ll also retain color better—it’s a win-win for you and your lips. Makeup Hacks for Your Eyelids Makeup Hack #1: We all struggle to draw the perfect winged tip sometimes, seemingly no matter how many times we practice. But creating your desired cat eye with your favorite liquid eyeliner can be done easier by using the dot technique. Using the tip of the eyeliner, create dots from the inner to outer corners of your lash line and a dot where you want the point of your winged tip to end. The last step is to connect the dots using a light, easy sweeping motion. Makeup Hack #2: If you run out of eyeshadow primer, you can always use a bit of concealer in a pinch. All you do it dab a couple of dots onto your upper eyelids and use a makeup brush to blend before applying your eyeshadow. Makeup hacks make all our lives easier, from those who adore the application to those who are just going through the motions. Just be sure to use quality, vegan cosmetics from a brand you believe in so your look lasts.
