Let’s be honest – it can be difficult to accomplish everything you want to do in one day. Our lives are all very busy whether we work full time, stay at home with our kiddos full time, or both. Life never stops for one second, and we barely have enough time to get our makeup on and hair done in the morning. That’s where wonderful beauty hacks enter and make all of our lives as women so much easier. With these easy and great beauty hacks, not only will doing your makeup and hair take less time, but you’ll look gorgeous as well.
1. Apply Eyeshadow In Your Hair Part To Appear Thicker
If you have thin hair, or simply don’t have time to brush your hair, curl it and style it for the day, apply some eyeshadow that’s the same color as your hair into your part. This will make your hair look thicker and will help make your hair look fuller. You won’t have to spend time backcombing it or curling it to get that volume you want.

2. Make The Perfect Cat Eye With Paper
I love a good cat eye, but actually executing this with eyeliner can be next to impossible for some women. It can be very difficult to accomplish this look, but now you can get that perfect cat eye without all the trial and error. Simply hold up a piece of paper against your eye and follow your eyeliner along the paper. It will pull up the eyeliner for the perfect cat eye look and you won’t have to redo it a million times only to end up frustrated and give up.

3. Apply White Eyeliner On Lids To Make Eyeshadows Pop
You know those eyeshadows you purchase that look so bright, bold, and vibrant, then once you apply it to your eyelid it looks dull and boring? Next time you want to use one of those, apply white eyeliner across your eyelid as a base for the eyeshadow. This will create a bright canvas for the eyeshadow to pop off of and the colors will look and be so much more vibrant.

4. Apply Mascara With A Spoon
One of the most frustrating parts about putting on mascara is messing up and accidentally touching your eyelid with the wand. Then you have to clean it up, and that usually removes some of the eyeshadow you just finished, and now you have to fix that, too. Well, from now on, apply your mascara with a spoon behind your eyelashes. This will create a barrier between your lashes and your lids so that any excess mascara will end up on the spoon and not on your skin!

5. Use Chafing Gel As Makeup Primer
Makeup primers can get really pricey, especially for good quality ones. Did you know that Monistat Chafing Powder Gel has the same exact ingredients as an expensive name brand primer? I know it sounds weird to apply chafing gel to your face, but it really does work! I’ve used this for a long time as a makeup primer and it works great and always makes my skin feel soft.
6. Make Old Mascara Last Longer With Contact Solution
Why is it you always seem to run out of mascara when you have no time to run to the store to get some more? Instead of dealing with old, dry, flaky mascara, apply a little contact solution to your mascara and it will make it nice and smooth again. It will get you at least a few days and maybe weeks out of your bottle. Just be sure to never let your mascara get too old as you can run the risk of getting an infection.

7. Add Baby Powder To Your Lashes To Make Them Fuller
Who doesn’t want long, full eyelashes? They make every woman’s eyes and face look more beautiful, but having to put on fake eyelashes, can be a serious pain in the you know what. Instead of dealing with that, apply a little baby powder to your lashes before applying mascara. This will instantly add volume and length to your lashes and when you apply the mascara, your lashes will look so much longer and fuller.
