- Hey guys, it's Tina here!:)
Welcome back to my channel.
Today's hack episode is all about...lipstick.

Now I'm sure all of us have suffered from dry lips
at one stage or another,
and to treat that, all you need is,
a toothbrush-can be an old one,
doesn't have to be a new one,
and some lip balm.
What you're going to do first is
apply the lip balm all over your lips,
and apply a good generous amount.
Then, you're going to go in with your toothbrush
and use circular motions to exfoliate your lips.
Do this for about one or two minutes.
This is gonna help get rid of
any of the dead skin cells left on your lips,
and lip balm's gonna help
moisturize your lips whilst you're doing this.
Then all you do is wipe all that dead skin away,
and you're left with nice soft lips.
This next hack is for all you guys
who have used your favorite lipstick,
and you only have a little tiny bit left.! :(
What you're gonna need is a spoon,
a spatula to scoop your lipstick out,
and a contact lens case.
You can also use any small container
you have at home.
Oh, and you'll also need a candle.
First, I'm going to use the spatula
and scoop up all the lipstick inside
and place it onto my teaspoon.
You can see how much product is left in the case,
so, ladies, we do not want
to waste our favorite lipsticks.
Then once it's all out,
you're gonna actually place a teaspoon
over the flame on the candle.
This is gonna melt the lipstick down
to a liquid formula,
and make it really easy for you to pour your lipstick
into a container or your contact lens case.
Once that's done,
just leave it aside to cool down and set,
and it will become hard again.
And now you can still bring your lipstick everywhere
and apply it with a brush.
(Whoosh)
So you know when you apply your nude lipstick,
and you look yourself in the mirror,
and it just doesn't look right?
Well, it could be because your natural lip color
underneath is affecting the color on top.
So a good hack for that is you can apply
concealer or foundation all over your lips,
just to knock out the natural color.
Then once that's on, you can
apply your nude lipstick on top.
This is gonna help keep the nude lipstick
true to color.
(Whoosh)
I do have another hack for nude lipstick,
and that's gonna help you not look so
dry and dead and chapped.
And the trick is to apply lip gloss over it.
It makes a world of difference,
especially when you're wearing a nude color
very close to your skin,
and it does wash you out.
By adding a bit of gloss,
it just adds a bit of life back into your lips.
(Whoosh)
Next hack is going to help you with lining your lips.
First off, you want to make sure you have a very sharp
lip pencil. Then, you're gonna stretch your lips out by
smiling slightly, and the first thing I do is draw an x
on my top lip starting from my Cupid's bow.
Then I'm gonna draw two lines straight down.
That's going to help me mark my bottom lip,
so I just follow those two lines
and just draw a dot on each side,
and then draw a line connecting the two dots.
Then I'm gonna apply four more dots in the middle
of the area that I haven't lined.
That's just going to help us
to connect all the dots much easier.
It's much easier to draw little lines
than one long line straight across.
This is great for you guys who don't have steady hands
and like to work slowly.
Then all you do is connect all the dots together.
I know it looks weird now,
but once you apply your lipstick,
you're gonna have the perfect bold lip.
(Whoosh)
So say you made a mistake and a little boo-boo
whilst applying your lipstick.
Don't worry, because we can clean that up.
I'm just gonna grab a bit of concealer.
Then I'm gonna use a flat definer brush,
this one is from sigma,
and I'm just gonna grab a bit of concealer
and just underline and cover where I made the boo-boo.
You can even do this trick all around your lip
to really define your lip
and make it really sharp and nice.
Don't forget to blend out the concealer.
You can use the brush or your fingers to do this.
And...voila!
You have a perfect bold lip.
(Whoosh)
Once you've nailed your perfect lip color,
you obviously want it to last as long as possible,
and a good hack for that is
you can set it with some translucent powder.
Yep, apply some powder to your lips.
So obviously you're gonna need
some translucent powder,
and you're going to need a tissue,
but just remove the two layers,
and we're only going to use one.
Place the tissue over your lips,
And then with a big fluffy brush,
grab some translucent powder
and just pat that onto your lips.
Make sure you breathe out when doing this step,
because you don't want to breathe in
the translucent powder.
Any other powder that seeps through the tissue
will help set your lip color.
The next hack I have for you
is going to make your life so much easier
when you want to do a gradient lip.
So you've got your lip color on already,
All you need to do is find a lip pencil
lighter than that color
and then just apply that color into the center
of your lips, top and bottom.
Then you're going to press your lips together,
just to smooth it all out.
And, voila! You have a gradient lip.
(Whoosh)
If you want your lips darker on the outside
you can actually use eyeshadow.
Here, I'm using semi-sweet eyeshadow
from the Too Faced Chocolate Bar,
and with a small brush
I'm just going to apply that along the edges of my lip.
This is actually going to help prevent my lip color
from bleeding and also create that nice gradient effect,
making the edges darker.
Once it's done, It'll look something like this.
(Whoosh)
