HACKS

1

Take a collagen

supplement to get an

all-over face and body

glow from the inside

out. Nicole

Kidman’s

favourite,

Swisse Beauty

Collagen Glow

with Collagen

Peptides,

$37.95,

provides skin

with structure,

shape and

strength.

3

If you’re reluctant

tospraytoo much

perfumedirectlyon

to yourskin

take a leaf

out of

Jessica

Chastain’s

book. Spray

a cotton

ball with a

bit of your

favourite scent,thenpop

it into your brasothe heat

from your bodywarms

it and ensures it stays

fragrant all day, without

being too overpowering.

2

Winter is a nightmare

for skin and can dry it

out to within

an inch of its life. A

great way to add a

little extra

hydration is to mix

a nourishing oil

like Tarte Maracuja

Oil, $26, into your

liquid foundation

for a hydrating

radiance boost.

4

Never dry shave your

legs – you’ll end up with

hideous lumps, bumps

and razor burn. If you’re on

a budget and don’t want to

fork out for shaving foam,

use a bit of conditioner. It’ll

give you a closer shave and

moisturise at the same time.

6

When using lash

serums, like the

amazing Revitalash

Advanced Eyelash Conditioner,

$189, it’s important to keep

in mind that oil-based

make-up removers

and cleansers can

sometimes leave

behind a film, which

creates a barrier

between the product

and your lashes.

They won’t work

as effectively if

this is the case, so

be sure to use

oil-free micellar

water or cleanser

before applying.

5

Save your spoolies!

Once you’re finished

your mascara, give

the brush a really good

clean and use it to tame

brows and flyaway hairs

with a spritz of hairspray.

7

Note the expiry dates

on beauty products

and abide by them!

Look on your containers,

for the little jar icon with a

number on them. This

number indicates how

many months the product

is good for once opened.

If you want

bright, clear

and glowing

skin, get some vitamin C

in your life, stat! Elizabeth

Arden Vitamin C Ceramide

Capsules Radiance Renewal

Serum, $162, is

178 times more

potent than

traditional

vitamic C, and

protects against

free radical

damage that

contributes to

ageing signs.

11

Warm up your

eyelash curler with

a quick blast from

your blowdryer. Just like your

hair, a great curl comes from

a little heat, so doing this

helpsyourpeeperspop.

12

Double your

lash length in

seconds with

the “push and wiggle”

mascara technique.

Using your favourite

product – we love

Too Faced Damn Girl!

24-hour Mascara,

$40 – start at

the very base

of lashes, then

slowly wiggle

the brush in a

zig-zag motion

to the tip. This

helps coat every

single lash for

maximum impact.

14

Keep your eye

cream in the

fridge – not only

is the cooling action super-

soothing, but it’ll also

help calm puffiness and

minimise bags much faster.

13

Make sure to

dampen your

blending sponge

before you use it. This may be

a ‘duh’ moment for dedicated

sponge-users, but many

women don’t know that for

them to work their best and

seamlessly blend product,

they need to be slightly wet.

Either run under the tap

briefly (squeezing out excess

water) or spray with your

favourite hydrating mist.
