2. Swab to fix or remove
When it comes to making that small correction to your makeup, a cotton swab can help a lot. In the case of mascara, for example, which can dirty the logo at the base of the eyelashes, it is an excellent resource, especially because it doesn’t make even more of a mess.
Now, if the intention is to remove makeup, the cotton swab is also great, because it helps to spread and even save makeup remover when removing shadows, for example.
3. Cotton swab to blend
Another thing that the cotton swab helps a lot with makeup is when blending. With its delicate, rounded tips, it helps to blend shadows and make the eye pencil softer.
4. Eyelash Swab
If the intention is to add more volume to your eyelashes, the cotton swab can help a lot. This is because, as soon as you apply the first layer of mascara, use the cotton swab to spread a thin layer of translucent powder and then seal it with another layer of mascara. This guarantees glamor for the whole day.
5. Eyebrow cotton swab
Anyone who uses a pencil to define their eyebrows knows that the result is not always perfect. A tip to make the contour more natural is to use a cotton swab to blend the pencil.
6. Touch-up cotton swab
An amazing tip is to use a cotton swab to carry just a little makeup to work, for example. Just smear the tips of cotton swabs with the chosen shadows and store everything in a bag. When touching up, just use as necessary.
7. Lipstick cotton swab
If you want a lighter shade of that lipstick you love, use the cotton swab to transfer the product to your lips. This way you contour your mouth and leave the lipstick as intense as you want. Another tip is to use a cotton swab to clean that corner of lipstick that has smudged on your mouth.
8. Cotton swab to remove mascara
If the mascara is waterproof, the task of removing it without rubbing and damaging the lashes becomes more complicated. A cotton swab can help with this, making it much easier. Just soak the cotton part in the makeup remover and place a piece of paper or cotton on the dark circles. Then, just gently apply the product to your eyelashes.
