Let anyone who has never bought a beauty or makeup product cast the first stone that ended up not working exactly as expected…
Let’s agree that in times of online shopping this is increasingly common, and so, upon receiving our expected item we soon realize that the texture is not nice, the color is not the same as the packaging or what appears on the screen, the perfume disappears Immediately after application, the pigments do not adhere well to the skin, in short, there are many problems that we face on a daily basis.
But the good news is that there is a solution for everything, or almost everything, so don’t be discouraged, here’s how to solve some problems with certain beauty items:
1. Is the nail polish too thin?
Well, anyone who knows the world of nail polish knows that when the nail polish is very liquid or thin, it ends up being necessary to apply several layers so that it doesn’t become stained or semi-transparent, an annoying waste of time, isn’t it?
But don’t worry, in this case, the solution is very simple, to thicken the nail polish, you can choose between two super simple tricks: the first is to leave the bottle open for two days, mixing the product with the brush itself a few times during this time. The second trick is to add a little cornstarch and mix well with a toothpick.

2. Is the foundation very liquid?
Okay, a very liquid, thin, wet-looking foundation doesn’t end up lasting well on the skin, right? But don’t worry, you don’t need to throw away your makeup item, as there is a solution, which is to put the foundation in a container, mix ½ teaspoon of hypogloss and add powder (the color you usually use), until the mix until smooth and creamy.

3. Does the shadow not stay on at all?
You know when we fall in love with an eyeshadow color only to discover that it simply doesn’t stick? Well, when the eyeshadow pigment doesn’t stick or stay on the skin or the color disappears in a short time, in this case, the solution is to apply a white pencil to the eyelid and then apply the eyeshadow, try it, you will see that the pencil will create a “canvas” to intensify and hold the pigment.

4. Lipstick was too light?
Only those who have gone through this know how frustrating it is to buy a beautiful lipstick, thinking it is one color, but when you apply it, you realize that it becomes much weaker. In this case, the trick is to apply the lipstick normally and, on top, apply a black or brown eyeliner, you will see that the color will be much more closed.

5. Have you noticed that the lipstick is very sticky?
That’s what it’s like to buy without trying it on, after you bought the lipstick, in the color you wanted, you saw that the lipstick is so creamy that it leaves your lips sticky, which is very unpleasant, isn’t it?
But don’t worry, the solution to this is to apply the lipstick normally and, with a very porous sponge, dab it lightly with a translucent powder on top.
Then, gently rub your lips together so that the powder mixes with the lipstick and… that’s it. Your lipstick will have a matte, matte appearance.

6. A wonderful perfume but…it doesn’t last at all?
Do you find it difficult to find a scent that you like and when you do, you discover that it doesn’t last at all on your skin?
Well, believe me, buying a perfume whose fragrance disappears shortly after applying it to your skin is a more common problem than you might think.
In fact, it is important to invest in a better quality perfume, precisely because it ends up being responsible for the fragrance’s fixing power, but, if you love a certain perfume but it doesn’t hold, it is possible to keep it for longer just applying a small amount of petroleum jelly to the places where you are going to spray the perfume.
