Homemade bronzer

Intensify eye shadows

You can make your dull eye shadows look brighter if you apply them on top of a base.

You’ll need:

• Eye shadows
• A white eye shadow pencil

The method is described here. It’s simple: apply the pencil the way it’s shown in the picture. Then apply another eye shadow on top and watch how the color pops.

Apply your perfume correctly

To make your perfume last longer, you have to follow several rules:

• Don’t rub your perfume. Rubbing a fragrance breaks down its molecules, diminishing the scent into the air.
• Apply some Vaseline and then your perfume to pulse points (as seen in the picture).
• To make your belongings smell good, apply some perfume to a cotton pad and put it in your pocket or bag.

This tip is also useful for your everyday routine.

Add some volume to your hair after applying dry shampoo
