Applying makeup is a fickle and capricious process. And when you don't have time for makeup at all, and you need to look perfect, little annoyances happen: eyeliner runs, mascara is imprinted on the eyelids, foundation goes on wrong.

Professional makeup artists often use a simple life hack that will help you create neat and perfectly clean makeup in minutes. Read the OBOZ.UA article to find out how just a shadow and a cotton pad can help emphasize natural beauty.

A secret life hack

When you are short on time, you don't have to spoil your nerves trying to draw straight arrows – of course, if you are not a professional and don't know how to apply liner or eyeliner in a few deft movements.

To create a beautiful everyday makeup look, you need an eyeshadow palette, a blending brush, and a cotton pad. Yes, those cosmetic pads that are usually used to remove makeup will be useful for emphasizing your eyes.

Step-by-step instructions

Take a clean, dry cotton pad and fold it in half to form a triangle.

With the wide side, place this triangle against the crease of the upper eyelid.

Choose the color from the palette that you would like to highlight your eyes with, apply a little eyeshadow on the brush, and gently blend it on the eyelids directly on top of the pad.

After that, fold the cotton pad in half and apply it to the outer corner of the eye diagonally.

Choose a darker shade from the palette and blend it upward from the disc. You can also take a shimmer eyeshadow shade and apply it with your finger on the moving eyelid.

Use a light pencil to emphasize the lower eyelid. The final touch is to apply mascara to the eyelashes – and the makeup is ready.
