I Tested The 8 Craziest Beauty Tricks On The Internet And Now I Know Which One I Can Recommend To My Girlfriends

If you are a fan of makeup, you must know a series of bloggers and youtubers who post tips on this subject. And it’s common for them to come up with tricks to make it easier to apply the products or make them last longer, for example. Kitchen utensils, children’s cosmetics and even building materials can come in handy at this time. But do these tricks really work?

Especially for the awesome.club, I decided to try out the strangest and most popular recommendations on the Internet and share my experiences with you, the reader.

Recommendation: use two shades of compact foundation — dark and light -, drawing checkered squares on the face and smudging. This way the tonality should be very uniform.

My result: the skin is flawless. Didn’t have to use as much of the product as I thought. Still, I figured the layer would get thinner; in the end, I found it a little thick. But I can definitely say it works.

Recommendation: hide the bruises under the eyes with red lipstick and concealer. The sequence is as follows: using a brush for shadows, spread the lipstick over the area under the eyes. Swipe the concealer over the red and blend it out with a sponge.

My result: I tried really hard, but no matter how many layers of concealer and powder I applied, it didn’t seem enough to take away the ruddy tone. I even managed to ruin my sponge. No more redness, I want my dark circles back. Does not work.

Recommendation: use a regular spoon to avoid imperfect and thick eyeliner. Just put the spoon in the corner of your eye and draw a line with a liquid eyeliner.

My result: even lines in both eyes on the first try. I placed a spoon close to the line where the lashes begin and managed to make straight lines, with almost no imperfections. After I tried again, I had some difficulties, but it’s a matter of training. I promise to practice more. this trick really it works.

Recommendation: draw three lines on the nose with a fork. A lighter one in the middle of the nose and two darker lines on the edges to create the illusion of a thinner nose.

My result: the lines were very thin, and after blending the foundation, the effect is almost completely lost. If I did without the fork, I could make thicker lines. This trick doesn’t make life any easier, unfortunately. Does not work.

Recommendation: to give more volume to the lips you just need to make a line with the pencil, contouring the mouth and then apply a lipstick of a lighter shade and cover everything with a little gloss.

My result: lips become visually larger. Due to the shine, you can’t see how much the line went beyond the edge of the lip. It looks like I just got out of a cosmetic procedure. This trick is very effective and therefore the result it’s positive.

Recommendation: Use masking tape to outline the face. The fashion was introduced by blogger Huda Kattan, who before applying makeup, sticks a tape all over her face. I didn’t do it exactly like her, but I put the tape on my cheekbones. If you want to repeat the procedure, stick two strips of tape on each of the cheeks and apply the blush in the triangle formed. Then remove the tape and smudge so that there is no clear demarcation of where the tape was placed.

My result: I am very satisfied with the effect, especially with the smooth transition achieved. This contour looks really natural. I understood why this trick is quite popular. It’s amazing how it actually works.

Recommendation: outline the eyes with lipstick using an eyeshadow brush in the application.

My result: the makeup looks quite different. I have never used products that color on my eyes. It’s a shame it doesn’t last long. 20 minutes later, the lipstick smeared onto the upper eyelid and it was smudged even though I had it quite dry on application. Using it for real life, on a daily basis, is a waste of time. Unfortunately It does not work.

Recommendation: increase the volume of eyelashes with talc or ordinary cosmetic powder. Apply a layer of mascara, then add a layer of powder and apply the mascara again. The effect should be similar to false eyelashes.

My result: on one eye, I just applied mascara, and on the other I did as recommended. I didn’t notice much difference. So it doesn’t work.

And you, do you trust the beauty tips you see on the Internet? Did any ever work out?
