Shirlie's Top 5 Make-Up Hacks






 1. Microfiber Cloths to Clean Brushes Tip

Use a microfiber cloth to clean your makeup brushes in between deep cleanings. You can also use a donut bun maker (for hair) or the Vera Mona Color Switch. Using one of these makes it easier for me to use the same brush for swatching eyeshadow since I can use the Color Switch first to get off most of the shadow, then follow up with the microfiber cloth to get anything left. I recommend the Avon Pro Brushes









2. Lipstick Collection Makeup Tip

Increase the number of lip colors that you have to wear by investing in a very dark lip pencil shade and a very light shade. You can even choose a midtone shade . This will allow you to triple the size of your collection. You can see how popping Frenemy on black makes a blue-toned purple, while on top of white it’s a neon shade. When placed on top of Venom it turns into a deep magenta berry. All that from just one lipstick!





3.Oily Nose Makeup Fix

If you have an oily nose, use eye shadow primer on your nose. Then spray with setting spray, then stipple your foundation on it. This will help it to last all day! This is probably one of the top questions I receive. 














4. Mascara Magic Tip

My friend Corinne swears by this trick. Stick your mascara tube next to your skin to warm it up (she does it between the boobs). It makes the mascara apply easier and it’s less prone to clumping. I recommend Avon's Love at 1st Lash.











5. Lip Stick Hack


You may already know my favorite lipstick hack. After you’ve applied your lipstick and blotted it, take a tissue and hold it over your lips, then use a brush to sweep setting powder over your lips. This will help your lipstick last longer. I used Complexion Perfect

Hyperpigmentation is especially common in deeper skin tones, and finding skincare that helps improve discoloration without irritating your skin is important. The good news? You don’t necessarily need a complicated 10-step routine. Two ingredients worth knowing about are niacinamide and vitamin C. These skincare favorites can work beautifully together to help your complexion look brighter, more even, and healthier. ✨ Meet Niacinamide Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 and is one of those versatile skincare ingredients that can do several things at once. When it comes to uneven skin tone, niacinamide can help reduce the transfer of melanin to surrounding skin cells, which can help improve the appearance of dark spots over time. But that’s not all. Niacinamide also supports the skin barrier, helps maintain moisture, and can calm the look of redness and irritation. For many people, a...
