Fresh nail paint and no time to dry? Here is a quick hack. Simply, dip your painted nails in ice water. Hold it for a few seconds and Voilà, your nail paint is dry. No smudge, no pain, no wait!

Freshen Your Hair With Perfume

Master Perfect Winged Eyeliner With ID Card

Yes, it is that easy. Hold the card on the corner of your eye, parallel to your eyebrows and swoop the liner for that perfect wing. Don't worry about the smudge. Your eyeliner will be clean, crisp and sharp, like a pro.

Make Lipstick Last All Day

Apply your regular lipstick, press a tissue paper over your lips lightly and dust it with a face powder. Wait for a few seconds, the powder will seep into the pores, then turn your lipstick into matte and make it last all day long.

Correct Wrong Foundation

Bought a foundation that is a tone too dark for your skin? No problem. Simply add a few drops of your regular moisturiser to lighten the tone.

Cracked Heels, Good Bye!

Mix a pinch of Vicks VapoRub with an equal amount of petroleum jelly, and rub it on the affected area. Put an a comfy pair of socks and by morning, your heels will be soft and smooth. Do this every day until it is fully healed.

Stinky Underarms, No More
