Top 10 Ways to Utilize Q-Tips in Your Beauty Routine : Jewelry

Yesterday I worked all day as a rep for Q-Tips. The company has recently 3 new vanity packs that are nice enough to leave on your counter. As a makeup artist for the brand, we were only allowed to use Q-tips to apply for a full face of makeup on! It was a challenge, but also really fun to use and it made me thinking about the best ways to Q-tips in your own beauty routine!

1. Delete Error
I use Q-tips especiallyfor a quick and easy to clean, if I make mistakes. They are also great if your eyeliner or mascara to run. Just dab the Q-tip in a little moisturizer or eye makeup remover and easy to run on the error. Voila, it disappears completely!

2. Smudge your eyeliner perfect for Smokey Eyes
The head of the cotton Q-Tip is smudging your eye makeup to give you perfect sultry, smokey eye. Wear a black or grayEyeliner to your bottom eyelid, and use the Q-tip on the line spot, making it less harsh and extremely sexy.

3. Soften hard lines and colors
Ok, maybe you went a little overboard when they try to new makeup look, but have no fear! Use a Q-tip, gently mix in a circular motion over dark, dense colors. The cotton takes excess pigment and reduces the severity of your mistake. You can use this trick on your eyebrows, eyelids, lips, etc..

4.Prevention of bleeding Lipstick
Do not you hate it when you have found a nice red lips, but at this halfway through the day, the color gone past your lip line, and the rest of the face? Try dipping a Q-tip in a bit of loose powder, and run it along the edge of the freshly applied lipstick. The powder acts as a barrier, keeping lipstick on her lips, and only the lips.

5. Highlight The Inner Corner of Your Eyes
Lately I've reallyHighlighting the inner corner of eye. I feel like it brightened up the entire eye area and makes you appear awake. To pull this little trick, you need a Q-tip in this area difficult to achieve, maintain. Dip the Q-tip into a shimmering eyeshadow or pigment and the color dot at the corner of your mind's eye. I prefer the white people do to keep gold and neutrals, of course, but you experiment with different colors as well!

6. Clean Up Excess Nail Polish
I do not knowabout you, but when I paint my nails, I make a big mess, I literally get polish everywhere! Whether you are as chaotic as I am, or if you just make small mistakes, they are easy to repair with Q-tips! Dip the Q-tip in nail polish remover and rubbing his mistakes. The small, precise tip makes it perfect for small details like this.

7. On the Go Touch Ups
Keep several Q-tips in your purse or backpack is a good way to ensure that you stay fresh all day. Iuse to clean up my mascara smeared and bleeding) mentions lipstick (as above, but they are also good for eye shadow, if you start wrinkling. If you this happens, you drag a Q-tip and clean gently, wherever you see the wrinkles, and you're good to go! Although wearing a smokey eye, you have already come to the black "Goop" which covers the inner corners of the eye travels? Swipe a Q-tip to clean in the lacrimal gland in a hurry!

8. Dab on someConcealer
The best way to cover up a pimple is to dab concealer and pat it gently around the pimple on the cover-up merging into the skin. The only problem is that your fingers do not always clean and the bacteria could spread to your face you will only pick. Use a Q-tip to the DAB concealer on your blemishes and blend with the soft edges of the cotton swab. Clean, hygienic and effective!

9. Perfect Your Liner
The only thing I love more than a normal Q-Tipan acute Q-Tip! These babies can be a surprising that you find the perfect a winged eye liner on. First, draw on your liner and bring the past into the eyes of the cat-eye shape. Do not worry if it is not perfectly sharp and precise. Next, make pointed Q-tip and dip it in a little moisturizer. Use the sharp edge to the perfect shape, with little bits at a time until you have the cleanest, hottest cat-eye around!

10. Apply makeup in aPinch!
Whether you are a dirty brush, or your position directly to a fancy dinner out of the office, Q-tips can be a great tool when you apply make-up in an emergency!

My most important tip for applying your makeup with a Q-tip, it is easy to keep up! Immerse yourself in a black eye shadow and run it on your bottom lashes for a sexy smokey eye. Swipe a light colored shadow over the eyelid for a fun and fast make-up look. Apply eyeshadow with a dampQ-Tip for a dramatic color pay-off. Immerse yourself in a tint a sultry lips and swipe reader on your lips. Dot a liquid highlighter on your cheekbones and blend for sexy shimmer. The possibilities are endless and easy! I do not recommend applying lipgloss with it though! The cotton "hair" get stuck everywhere, and it is really messy. Trust me, I had to learn the hard way!
