On these dates you can not miss the blisters with flash effect in your house. They act as a facelift, since they help to temporarily tighten the skin, and usually last up to 8 hours. A vial before makeup will do miracles. And to finish "lifting the look" and saying no to the hangover, return the freshness to your face with a double layer of mascara (the eyes will be bigger) and a blush and a pink lipstick in any of its variants (coral, fuchsia, light pink), since this color has an immediate revitalizing effect.

"I have damaged my nail polish"
The remedy depends on the severity of the "catastrophe." If it is on a nail and it is barely perceptible, give it a brushstroke - wiping the brush very well - with the same polish color to hide it. If when looking at your hands, you see that the polish has popped here and there, it is better that you remove the lacquer from all the nails and that to avoid spending too much time with a new manicure you just apply a layer of glitter.

"In the rush, I have smeared my eyelid with mascara"
Suppress your urge to rub the stain immediately or you'll spoil all of your makeup. Allow the mask to dry on the skin and, once dry, gently scratch it with your fingernail. It will come off easily. And to prevent it from happening again, remember to squint a little before applying the mask. In this way the eyelashes will not touch the skin of the eyelid.
"I can see the roots, but I can't go through the hair"
You have a couple of options to get out of the way. You can style your hair with the zigzag part and lightly carve the root. This way, the part of the hair closest to the scalp will be more concealed. Or you can make a ponytail and with a brush apply compact powder or eyeshadow of the tone most similar to your hair all over the contour, which is where the root will be seen. It works great if the roots are budding and you're not a blonde!

The hair recovers shine and volume instantly and you will save the time to wash and dry.

"I just put makeup on and they are starting to shine"
To put an end to the problem quickly , absorbent papers are very useful , which look like smoking papers (sold in perfumeries).

It would also be very good if you finish your makeup with a pass of translucent powders, which help to set it for longer and eliminate shine.

Professional make-up artists advise applying thermal water to a tissue and pressing gently on the face to hydrate it. It is as if it were raining on a cracked and dry ground. Afterwards, apply a drop of highlighter to your palm, rub both hands together and rub them over your face. The cracks will be gone and your makeup will be even again.
