Want a thicker ponytail? Place a mini butterfly clip <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">to </span>the base </b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Simply section your ponytail in<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span>two and place a small butterfly hair clip at the base near to the hair band. Place hair back, over the clip and voila, a<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span>fuller looking ponytail without the need <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">to <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">backcomb<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>2. Use scotch tape on spots overnight </b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So this may seem a little crazy because we all know that skin needs to breath however with spot patches becoming more popular and actually being an effective way to treat pesky spots you might at well make your own. Before bed<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">, </span>making sure the skin is clean, apply a dab of spot treatment and then a small strip of scotch tape. In the morning the spot will either have died down or will be ready to squeeze.... you know we all do it! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>3. Bake your under eye concealer with powder and a damp beauty sponge</b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a trick from Kylie Jenner's makeup artist of apply trans<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">lucent</span> powder with a damp beauty sponge and leaving for a few minutes before sweeping off. This works so much better than dabbing<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> loose powder</span> on dry or with <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">a</span> brush. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">B</span>rightening effects are intensified and the skin looks and feels amazing! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>4. Want perfect winged liner? Clench your toes! </b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So this is a trick from makeup artist, Erik Soto, however it's apparently common knowledge in the business (who knows!). When you're next applying liquid liner clench your toes and instantly you will notice how any hand shakes disappear. Maybe it's a placebo effect or maybe it's actual science, either way it works and wonky winge<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">d</span> liner is so more! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>5. Apply eye cream to your lips </b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This makes quite a lot of sense as eye cream is designed to be sensitive yet plumping and anti-ageing so why not use it around the lips. Of course don't apply<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> any <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">eye cream</span></span> as lip balm... that will not taste nice, but dabbing it lightly around the lip line wi<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ll</span> help fine lines, skin dehydration and lips will look around perkier. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">6. Have the worst red angry spot, apply eye drops  </span></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've used this hack for many years now and it works a treat. Simple apply a small amount of eye drops to any red spot with a cotton bud and within minutes notice how the redness is reduced. This is because whitening eye drops aim to help bloodshot eyes! This hack doesn't help the spot go away however it's a great trick to do before applying makeup. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>7. No dry shampoo? Use translucent powder instead</b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before dry shampoo was inve<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">nted </span>using talcum powder on greasy roots was the norm, but why not used transient powder instead. The powder soak<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">s </span>up excess oil and can be blended into the hair by massaging it in or thoroughly brushing the hair.  </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>8. Contouring with sunscreen?</b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now this may be the strangest hack of them all, but it actually makes quite a bit of sense. Wh<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">en </span>tanning on your annual holiday take two different strengths of SPF applying the highest SPF (possibly 50) to where you would highlightthe <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">face</span> and the lower SPF to where you would normally contour. This will leave you with a naturally contoured face sans makeup. Who knew! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>9. Tame whispies/baby hair with clear brow gel </b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ahh, sometimes the most simplest of tricks are the best ones. To tame th<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ose</span> annoying fine hairs around the hair line simply brush through with a clear brow gel and smooth into place. So simple! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>10. Trying to find a new fragrance<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">?</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">T</span>ake coffee beans with you</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ever been at a fragrance counter and realised that after a few sniffs of various scents you become what I like to describe as 'nose blind'? All scents seem to smell the same and in the end you can't decide what you like. To cleanse the nose palette take a quick sniff of a few coffee beans (yes, that does mean keeping a few in your bag - not at all strange!) and be amazed at how you can differentiate different scents once again. A must if you want to try out <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">lot of different</span> fragrances. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Let me know if you have any strange but useful beauty hacks!
