As women, there are many secrets we know, but don’t always share with the rest of our gender. For instance, how in the heck does a lady still to look so refreshed when she hits the snooze alarm a zillion times? Or how does one avoid getting mascara smudges all over your eyelids on only 3-hours of sleep?

Thankfully, the ladies who already know these life changing makeup hacks are willing to share their wisdom:

1. Fix a foundation faux pas

We’ve all had a too dark foundation mishap that leaves skin looking muddy and blotchy instead of smooth and even. However, the good news is that you can take that darker foundation shade from summer to winter by diluting it with a dab of moisturizer to help lighten things up.

2. All natural lip plumper

3. The perfect pout is possible

Almost every woman yearns for the perfect Cupid’s bow, yet so many of us end up looking clownish when applying lip color. To create the perfect pout, apply lip liner in an “X” at the Cupid’s bow, the sweep and blend it with the same shade of lipstick.

4. Instant eye wake up call

We’ve all had too little sleep or one too many glasses of wine the night before. To banish red, tired, hungover eyes, rim your inner eyelids with white light eyeliner to make your eyes bright.

5. Uber lash curl

6. Gel with your eyeliner

For a sleek, smooth eyeliner take a dry eye liner and heat it using a lighter for a few seconds. Let it cool then glide on for a smoother, gel-like formula.

7. No more mascara mishaps

Depending on the shape of your eyes, it’s almost impossible not to smudge mascara on your upper lid when applying a few coats. Avoid mascara residue and spots by sweeping on mascara wand against the backside of a teaspoon. The front of the spoon acts as a barrier for smudge-free mascara application.
