Useful tips simply overflowed the Internet - everywhere we read about how to extend the life of cosmetics and how to moisturize the face if the cream has run out. But do all life hacks really work?
Use mascara as a liquid eyeliner
Has anyone ever tried eyeliner with mascara? On every second women's resource, they write like this: "Is the liquid eyeliner finished? Don't worry! Dip a thin brush into the mascara and lift your eyes as usual!” And now the harsh reality: nothing will work, the mascara has a different formula and a thicker consistency. So if you can draw arrows like this, you are the most talented self-taught makeup artist!
If the mascara has dried, dilute it with carbonated water
And what? She's dried up, completely dried up, Karl! Yes, when you dilute the mascara with water (usually soda is recommended), the product will indeed become more liquid for a while, you can apply it, but the formula is already completely ruined, and the next day the mascara will be dry again. And the more you dilute it, the worse the eyelashes look, and you should not be surprised that after a few hours everything crumbled. Plus, it's not entirely safe. And there can only be one life hack here: buy a new mascara.
Treat pimples with toothpaste
A pimple appeared - smear it with toothpaste! Heard about it? Probably "life hack" is as old as the world. Or like toothpaste. It doesn't really help - the pimple won't go away, maybe it will dry out a bit, but you'll more than likely dry out the skin in that area and get an irritated red spot.
Use liquid and cream shadows as lipstick
Fans of universal cosmetics are often advised to use products not for their intended purpose. The most popular life hack is to apply cream shadows of pink shades to the lips. In fact, everything happens a little differently: the shadows will not stay on the lips, and this is in the best case. At worst, they will come off and dry the lips. Better not do that.
Treat your face with powder to make your makeup last longer
We don't know why this myth is still alive, but many girls believe that you need to powder your lips to make the lipstick stick better, or apply powder to your eyelids for a more permanent eyeshadow effect. It is not true! Nothing will stick, you will only dry out the skin. And a primer or spray-fixer, which is intended for this purpose, will extend the life of the makeup.
Replace dry shampoo with cornmeal
We have repeatedly come across this extremely strange life hack on American beauty portals. The meaning is as follows: if you did not have time to wash your hair, there is no dry shampoo at hand, but you really want to refresh your strands, then dust your hair with corn flour. Can you imagine what will come of it? First, calculating the number is difficult; secondly, the strands will be very unpleasant to the touch. Thirdly, the scalp is unlikely to like so much "dirt", do not experiment! By the way, this also applies to baby powder - strands will not be cleaner.
Remove bags under the eyes with the help of green tea bags
No, this tip is not harmful at all - green tea does contain antioxidants, and there is nothing wrong with it... Only the bags will not go anywhere. That is, this life hack simply does not help, and that's all!
