When it comes to makeup, most of us have learned the fundamentals, such as how to clean waterproof mascara, where and how to apply blush to get the natural look for your face, and how to disguise a pimple with the appropriate concealer. However, there are some advanced techniques that we can all attempt by using items we already have in our homes.

When cream cosmetic items are warmed up, they mix better. So, if your eyeliner pencil skips or drags on your eyelid, or if it takes numerous coats to get a good colour payoff, gently melt it down before you start lining.
