The holiday season is right here, and by now, your social calendar might be filled with a number of family get-togethers, parties, and outings. Are you ready to be the life of the party? If you are worried about makeup flaws, fret not – we’ve come up with some hacks that will make sure your makeup lasts all day long.
These top 21 makeup hacks will make your life much more easier, and ensure that you need not spend hours in front of the mirror to look picture-perfect:

1. DIY Gel Liner

Turn your regular kajal pencil into a gel liner by holding a kohl eyeliner under the flame for a second or two. Let it cool for a few seconds. Then, apply it on your lashline. This will make the application easier and smoother.

2. Make Your Lipstick Last For Longer Hours

Grab a tissue paper and hold it over your lips after applying the lipstick. Then, lightly dust some translucent powder over the tissue. This will help your lipstick stay longer than usual.

3. Use A Bobby Pin For The Perfect False Lash Application

Applying false lashes is really a big pain, especially when you’re running out of time. To make this process easier, use the tip of a bobby pin to apply glue to the false lash. This will avoid excessive glue on your eyes.

4. Look Better In Pictures With This Easy Trick

Holidays are all about partying and capturing the beautiful moments. Why spoil your memories by looking tired and oily in the photographs? Just apply a thin mineral veil of face powder on the center of your face with a fluffy brush. It will help take away the shine from the oily parts of your face, and make your face look fresh.

5. Use Baby Powder For Thicker Eyelashes

For naturally thick eyelashes, dust a coat of baby powder after applying a coat of mascara, and then seal the powder with a second coat of mascara. The baby powder will make your lashes appear thick.

6. Get Rid Of Dry And Flaky Lips Within Seconds

If you have dry and chapped lips, take an old toothbrush and gently scrub your lips to brush away the dry flakes and reveal soft and smooth lips.

8. Make Your Own Lip Gloss

The next time you notice broken eyeshadow, think twice before you throw it. You can make your own lip gloss by crushing the eyeshadow and mixing it with petroleum jelly. And there you go ­ a lip color of your choice.

9. No More Lipstick Stains On Your Teeth
