10 places you SHOULD apply highlighter but you're not

Many of you guys already know about my obsession with highlighters, especially pigmented ones. Some endup skipping the highlighting step in their makeup routine, or they just don't apply it correctly in the right places, not wanting to look to shimmery or oily.

I personally have a regular to oily type of skin, and applying highlighter doesn't necessarily mean my makeup's gonna end up a glittery oily mess.

It all has to do with the right quantity, and the right product.

However, there are some body areas, that, once highlighted, give you a natural glow while accentuating them.

And TBH, these are the areas that ARE NOT TO MISS while applying highlighter:

1- Collar Bones

Lightly lift your shoulders forward until you can see your bone structure. Start dabbing and applying using a horizontal sweeping motion, on the high points of you bone structure so that the result doesn't look sweaty.

 Remember to start with a small quantity, since once there, if you applied too much, it's hard to remove them.

2- Shoulders

Shoulders are attractive, applying a bit of highlighter on them will make them even look more seductive. Apply in circular motion where light naturally hits.

3- Shoulder Blades

When you're wearing a backless top or dress. Since not much is focused on in the back fashion-wise, apply the shimmery product naturally following along the bone structure. The quantity is up to you, the more you add, the more dramatic effect you'll be creating.

4- Under the Brow Bone

Apply just under it, above the crease, to give illusion of larger eyes.

5- Inner Corner Of Your Eyes

Apply a dot of highlighter in the inner corner to brighten up your eyes and make them look more awake. The product's reflective properties make your whole eye look lighter.

6- Cupid's Bow

Give the illusion of bigger lips by applying highlighter on your cupid's bow , while giving your lipstick a clean look.

7- Center Of Your Eyelids

While applying eyeshadow, adding light shimmery colors will make your eyes look bigger.

8- Moisturizer Mix

Mix your moisturizer with a liquid highlighter, for a naturally glowing face while prepping it before makeup application, when not wanting to actually apply highlighter, for a more natural 'non-makeup' look.

9- Bridge Of Your Nose

Blend bronzer on the sides of your nose, then gently apply highlighter on the bridge aka the middle of your nose to make it appear slimmer and longer.

10- Apple Of The Cheek

Not only on the cheekbones. When you want to glow more and want to have a more contoured look, dab a small quantity in the center of the apple of your cheek, over the blush.

Hope these tips helped you out!

10 Easy Lazy Beauty Shortcuts

                                                                                       To Be Honest,

We all have those busy days where we have no time, or we're just too lazy to take too much care about our appearances. But there are easy ways to look good and take care of ourselves thanks to easy, lazy shortcuts, that you can go for, any day. So here are some that I have found to be super useful:

1- Clean It Up

  Make sure to take your makeup off after a long day, NEVER SLEEP WITH YOUR MAKEUP ON: your skin needs to breath, and rest. If your long-lasting lipstick isn't coming off with regular soap and water, some off-the-counter makeup remover will do, or some natural olive oil would help.

2- Easy Quick Dry

  After doing your own manicure, let your nails dry for a couple of minutes and then deep them into ice cold water for about 3 minutes. The cold water will help the polish dry completely.

3- Get Rid Of Puffy Eyes & Dark Circles

  Soak tea bags(containing caffeine)in water and leave them entirely on your swollen eyes/dark circles for 5 to 10 minutes. This will do the trick.

4- Lip Prime

  Want the color of your lipstick to last longer, but don't have a lip-primer? Apply a bit of foundation on your lips before applying your lipstick. It will help the color stay all day.

5- Quick fix

  Messed up your makeup? Dip a Q-Tip in any cream or liquid makeup remover to fix any mistake or clean up smudges from your eye makeup application.

6- Naturally Curly Lashes

  For natural curly lashes, without applying any produt on them, heat your eyelash curler with your blow dryer for a few seconds (NOT FOR LONG,we don't want to burn your lashes) before you use it. It will help lock your curl for longer.

7- Hydrate Yourself
   Drink water as much as you can, not only to cover the needs of your body, but also because water: 
- Makes you perform better in your daily life
- Helps you lose weight
- Flushes out waste and bacteria 

  I think you'll like this one the most : It'll make your SKIN GLOW  naturally.

- Prevents illnesses and headaches.

Use moisturisers and hydrators, especially before and after removing your makeup, after all, they are designed to make skin look better instantly, and some even sneak in anti-aging benefits.

8- Unclog the pores
   To reduce or even prevent acne and pimples on your face, blend a tomato, a tbsp of lemon juice and a tbsp of instant oatmeal. Apply it on a cleansed face and leave it for 15 minutes, then rinse it off.

9- Bye-Bye frizzy roots
  Spray a bit of hair spray on your comb, and pass it on your hair roots to get rid of the frizz.

10- Soft Lippies
    Dry lips? Take care of your lips, by making sure you moisturise them. Do so by rubbing a sugar-water solution, as the sugar removes dead cells and rejuvenates the lips. Also keep with you a lip balm at all times to use throughout the day.

Hope these helped! If interested in knowing more, or if you have any questions, and if you want other specific tips and tricks let me know!
