If you don’t have time to wash your hair (mostly because you don’t really have time to dry it), go with using some dry shampoo. It helps to absorb oil,

puts volume in your hair and a major benefit is that it eliminates the need for heat (from blow dryers). It even works if you’re the kind of girl who

works out in the morning and wants to absorb some of the sweat without losing some much-needed moisture.

Seems like hashtags are everywhere, doesn’t it? Even along the corner of your eyes. If you want to rock a smoky eye but you have to choose between your eyeshadow

and breakfast, take out your favorite color of eyeliner and draw a hashtag (the pound sign) on the corner of each eyelid. Then use a smudger brush to blend until

the sign disappears. You’ll have your smoky eye effect in record time.

Or, if you want to go with a cat eye instead, place one of your credit (or debit) cards on the corner of your eye as you’re applying your eyeshadow.

It will create the perfect curvy cat eye effect. You can also use a credit to create a clean mascara line. Just hold it directly behind your eyelashes as you’re putting

your mascara on.

Want your lips to look a little plumper? No problem. Apply some peppermint oil on right before applying your lipstick. 

Something else that can make your lips appear fuller is

the sheen of lip gloss, so why not make your own peppermint oil kind? Mix some beeswax, coconut oil and sweet almond oil in the microwave or a double boiler

until it melts. Then apply a few drops of peppermint essential oil and pour everything into little lip gloss containers (you can usually find them at a local arts and

crafts store). Let it cool and you’re all set. 

Another make-up trick that you can try is applying a lip color that’s lighter than the rest of your lipstick to

the middle of your lips; then blend. It will make your lips appear a little bigger, too!

What can you do to make your skin glow? Put on some face highlighter. Applying it on the corners of your nose, cheekbones and forehead will give the impression that you

had a great night’s sleep. Even if you didn’t.

If you’ve got some pink hypoallergenic lipstick lying around, it can double up as a blush. The key is to not overdo it. Lightly brush the tube across your cheekbones, then use

your finger to blend it towards your temples. To make sure the color is right where you want it to be, smile while you’re doing it.

Having a super bad hair day? No problem. Pull out a head scarf and let it do its magic. You can use it to pull your hair back,

tie it around your ponytail or even create a turban and complete it with some killer earrings. You’ll get compliments on it all day and no one will ever have

to know that you’re secretly hiding a real mess underneath. The ultimate beauty hack!
