Looking good is something every woman strives for. We want to look our best not only because we might run into an ex randomly, but more importantly for ourselves. Feeling beautiful gives a girl all the confidence she could need. But spending hours getting ready for the day can be exhausting and just not practical for the every-day girl boss. So let’s dish a few of the beauty hacks that everyone’s talking about.

1. Vaseline

Not only is Vaseline affordable, but it’s also extremely versatile. It can be used as a cheap alternative to tame those uncontrollable brow hairs, or even the small baby hairs that just won’t stay down. It’s also a great lip balm to soothe chapped lips. You can even mix a little eyeshadow in with it to give your lips a tint! Vaseline is becoming everyone’s go-to.

2. Using Mascara for Eyeliner

While it may sound crazy at first, don’t knock it till you try it! Putting a little mascara on an angled brush is a great alternative for regular gel eyeliner. It’ll glide on smooth and stay on for the rest of the night, just like it does with your eyelashes.

3. Magnetic False Eyelashes

Putting on false eyelashes is probably one of the toughest steps of doing your makeup. Not only is it extremely difficult, but it’s also so time consuming. Magnetic eye lashes fix both of those problems. Simply apply the magnetic eyeliner as you would your normal liner. Then plop the false eyelash on your eye and boom—you’ve got beautiful lashes that will stay in place all day in a heartbeat! 

4. Using a Business Card to Apply Mascara

Putting on mascara can be a messy process if you don’t have a steady hand and loads of time. Holding a business card behind your lashes ensures that you won’t have any smudges or black dots around your eyes. This trick works for both your upper and lower lashes, so it’s super useful.

5. Cold Water to Dry Nail Polish Quicker

Everyone knows that it’s neither fun nor time efficient to wait for your nails to dry. But dipping your nails in a bowl of ice water for a few minutes is a great way to speed up that process.

6. Apply Eyeliner and Curl Lashes at the Same Time

Applying your eyeliner to your eyelash curler is an easy way to get two birds with one stone. Simply apply the eyeliner to the top part of your eyelash curler and curl your lashes as you normally would. You’ll be out the door in no time!

7. Apply Winged Eyeliner with a Business Card

Since you’ll already be using a business card for those lashes, why not use it to get the perfect winged eyeliner, too? This hack is a great way to make sure your wings are perfectly symmetrical and even, something that can take forever without this simple guide. It’s also a great way to keep eyeshadow from being blended all the way out to your temple. 

8. Use Baby Powder as a Dry Shampoo Alternative

Sprinkling on a bit of baby powder to your roots is a great way to quickly fix greasy hair. It instantly absorbs the oil, leaving you with hair that looks like it is freshly shampooed and conditioned. They’ll never know!

Looking good and feeling good is important. Keeping up with the latest beauty hacks is a great way to feel beautiful—and save time while you’re doing it. Hopefully you’ll give some of these hacks a try for yourself and see exactly why these beauty hacks are trending.
