Another user for eye drops

Nice way to wake up

Use eye drops to reduce redness in the eyes. This is also very refreshing and an instant way to wake up.

Remove eye makeup with a product

Always use an eye makeup remover for thin skin around the eyes. Be gentle when removing makeup so you do not encourage more wrinkles.

Save on eyeliners with water

Do not buy eyeliners. Use a small angled brush, eye shadow and mix with water for eye shadow.

Free eye shadow primer

Use foundation, liquid concealer, face powder, baby powder or a light eye shadow as an eye shadow primer.

Smoother eye shadow trick

Wet the applicator when applying eye shadow. This will make it go on more smoothly.

Olive oil around the eyes

Use extra virgin olive oil to give your eyes a soft look.

Fix tired eyes with recycled chilled tea bags

Freeze old tea bags to instantly cure puffy and dark circles around the eyes.

Cheap eyebrow brush

An old kids toothbrush with a little gel on it is a cheap way to style those eyebrows.

Accentuating beauty for maximum benefit

Super cheap eye makeup remover

Vegetable glycerine mixed with water makes a huge amount of eye makeup remover. Never use without mixing with water.

Vaseline on your lashes will make them thicker

Applying Vaseline to your eyelashes every night will make them longer and thicker.

Quick homemade eye gloss

To make a creamy eye gloss mix any colour eye shadow with lip balm and you will have an instant eye gloss.

Arched eyebrows for a thinner face

If you want your face to look thinner arch your eyebrows more when shaping them.

Remove eye makeup with moisturiser

Dip a cotton bud in moisturiser to remove eye makeup.

Using mascara for bigger eyes

If you want your eyes to look bigger apply a double coat of mascara on your upper lashes.

Blush as eye shadow

Use blush for eye shadow. It will last a long time on you.

Find a school

Use local beauty schools for cheap eye tinting and treatments.

Lush blush

Blush doubles fine as an eye shadow.

Removing eye makeup

Always use eye makeup remover or a common substitute to remove eye makeup. Otherwise you risk getting more wrinkles.

For a thinner face

Arch your eyebrows more when shaping them for a thinner face.

Do it yourself

Learn to do your own eyebrows and save stacks of money.

Perfect match

Make sure to match your eyebrows to your hair colour.

Use for an old toothbrush

You can make use of an old toothbrush as an eyebrow brush if you happen to be without one.

Shaping eyebrows

Shape your eyebrows thicker to look younger.

Follow your natural look

When shaping your eyebrows follow the natural line of your eyebrows or people will not look at your eyes.

Self preservation

Apply eye cream every night before bed for self-preservation.

Invest in saline

Reduce redness and tired eyes with eye drops or saline solution. Buy the bulk bottle. It is cheaper.

Curling your lashes

Warm your eyelash curler with a hairdryer first for better results.

Save time on your lashes

Dye your lashes and use clear mascara or Vaseline to highlight them.

Applying eyeliner trick

To apply eyeliner draw three short lines and connect them up.

If you want bigger eyes

Apply white eyeliner to lower eye line.

Reduce look of tired eyes

Run white pencil along your bottom eye line to make tired eyes look better.

Substitute eyeliner

Use eye shadow dipped in water and a small brush as substitute eyeliner.

Keep it simple

Keep lips simple with accentuated eyes and vice versa.

Wear less makeup

Reveal your inner beauty and wear less makeup. You will age slower too.

Creamy eye gloss

Combine eye shadow and lip balm for a creamy eye gloss.

Baby powder as primer

If you run out of eye shadow primer you can try baby powder as a base.

Double use for face powder

Face powder can be used as an eye shadow primer if you do not want to spend extra money.

Foundation trick

You can use foundation as an effective eye shadow primer.

Liquid concealer

Liquid concealer works great as an eye shadow primer.

Stop eye shadow creasing

Apply base colour to stop creasing.

Eyeliner brush trick

Dab wet eyeliner brush in eye shadow for a less dramatic eyeliner or eyebrow liner.

Smaller nose eye shadow trick

Apply darker eye shadow than the colour of your skin. Your nose will appear smaller.

Eye shadow colour

To make your eyes standout avoid putting any colour over your brow bone or make sure that the shade is light.

Eye shadow trick for bigger eyes

If you have eyes that seem too far apart simply put more eye shadow on the inside corners of your eyes.

For bigger eyes

If you have eyes that seem too close together simply put more eye shadow on the outer edges of your eyes.

Double use for moisturiser

If you are stuck without eye cream you can simply apply a little extra face moisturiser to your eye area.

Put bottom fake lashes up top

Put the bottom lashes from the pack on your top lashes. You will still look fantastic but more naturally fake.

Green tea not just for drinking

Next time make a Green Tea. Chill some extra in the fridge and apply to puffy eyes with cotton pads.

Kiwifruit trick

Apply slices of kiwifruit to tired eyes to cure dark rings and puffiness.

Mascara safety

Discard mascara after three months. It can hold bacteria after this period of time.

Bigger eyes trick

If you want to make your eyes look bigger put a double coat of mascara on your upper lashes.

If you are prone to tears

If you are going to an important event where you think you might cry remember to wear waterproof mascara.

Revitalise

Running mascara under hot water will bring your mascara back to life.

Reusable makeup pads

Try investing in microfibre cloths as an alternative to buying cotton pads.

Remove eye makeup

Moisturiser on a cotton ball makes an effective eye makeup remover.

Cheaper than buying Photoshop

When having your photo taken be sure to blend makeup well around the eyes. Avoid applying powder. This shows up wrinkles more.

Raw food for good health

A raw food diet will make your eyes sparkle from the inside.

Raw potato relief

Slices of raw potato are also a great cure for puffy eyes.

Chill your spoons

The humble spoon chilled in the fridge or freezer gives great relief to tired and puffy eyes.

Eye shadow primer trick

Use foundation, liquid concealer, face powder or baby powder or a light eye shadow as primer.

Face

Trick for a wide face

If you have a wide face apply blush to the tops of your cheeks by fanning upwards towards your ears.

Take fish oil to reduce pimples

Fish oil helps to regulate hormones and thus helps reduce pimples caused by hormonal problems.

Cheap moisturiser

Combine castor oil and olive oil for a moisturiser for the face.

Hand cream face mask

Use hand cream as a simple and effective face mask.

Honey for blemishes
