If you want the most effective beauty hacks around, here are all of the best ones in one place. – Enjoy.

1. Use a cream, pale pink or peach coloured eyeliner in your waterline to open up your eyes. Don’t use white; it will look too cartooning and obvious.

2. If you’ve had a mascara for under three months but it’s drying up and going clumpy, add a few drops of contact lense solution and give it a mix round.

3. You can use your mascara as an eyeliner if you’re all out. Use a liner brush to pick up the product, and line your eyes as you usually would.

4. If you want thicker looking lashes without having to use falsies, dab on some baby powder after each coat of mascara (while it’s still wet). Do this a few times until you get the desired effect

5. Put your mascara somewhere warm like in your bra until you’re ready to use it. It’ll loosen the product up and look ten times better on your lashes.

6. If you want to create a smokey eye with eyeliner, heat up the lead of the pencil with a flame, wait a few seconds for it to cool, and then smudge away.

7. Add concealer to your eyelids if you haven’t got any primer. It will help your eyeshadow to stick and look a lot more vibrant, making most of the actual colour.

8. If you’re suffering from tired eyes, add some of your highlighter to the corners of your eyes to make you look more awake.

9. If you don’t have much time to get ready, focus on one area to add drama to, it doesn’t take much. A couple of coats of mascara on the eyes, or a pop of red on the lips will do.

10. If you want plumper looking lips, add in some peppermint oil to your favourite lip gloss. Your lips will not only look amazing, but you’ll smell fresh all day.

11. If you want an instant matte lipstick, but only have shine or satin products, apply some translucent powder over it. It’ll look like a brand new lippy.

12. If you want to give off the appearance of fuller lips, add a light concealer to the centre and rub them together gently to create an instant pout.

13. If you make the mistake of buying a foundation that’s too dark for your skin tone and aren’t able to exchange it, add in some moisturiser to lighten it up.

14. If you’re looking too pale for your liking, create an instant glow with some homemade tanning oil – soundbodylife.com will show you how.

15. Can’t be bothered to wash your face? Makeup wipes are a great alternative to have beside your bed, and to keep in your handbag.

16.  Create an ombre nail by painting an old sponge with the colours you desire, in the order you want them in, and then blot it onto your nails.

17. You don’t need expensive nail equipment to create funky nails, use bobby pins, matchsticks or even the tip of an old pen to make patterns.

18. If you want curly hair without the damage of heat, make small sections all over, take a strand and twist it around your finger and secure it in place with a bobby pin. Repeat this until your whole head is covered and go to bed. Wake up with natural curls.

19. If you have annoying baby hairs that won’t stay in place, spray some hairspray onto an old toothbrush and brush them down.

20. If you suffer from a receding hairline, or very thin roots, use an eyeshadow the same shade as your hair colour to hide what you need to.

21. If you don’t have time to wash your hair, use a dry shampoo. See more about it on www.vogue.co.uk. Not only does it save time, but it adds volume if you use it correctly. – It’s all about working the roots.

22. If you’re having a bad hair day, put it up in a messy bun. To others, you will look bang on trend, but you’ll know the truth. The trick is to pull little, random strands of hair around your face, and release the tension of hair on the top of your head.

23.  If you don’t want to deal with your hair falling out of place all day, spray your bobby pins with hairspray before you slide them in. Find more uses for bobby pins at www.goodhousekeeping.com.
