Beauty tips from Red House Spa
M

ake your
eyelashes
extra-long with the
help of a cotton
wool ball. After
applying your usual
one coat of mascara,
take a lash/brow
brush and rub
it onto a cotton
wool ball. This will
transfer some of the
cotton ball fibres
onto the brush.
Swipe the brush
onto your lashes.
Apply another coat of mascara and
repeat as many times as you want! You’ll
have major lashes in no time.

U

se red lipstick as
concealer primer to
mask dark circles. It sounds
too good to be true, but
YouTuber Deepica Mutyala
has come up with the most
amazing way to hide the
fact that you only slept a
few hours last night. Grab
any red-orange-y lipstick
and apply it under your
eyes and on your eyelids
(anywhere you’re a bit
darker) with a concealer
brush. Then, just apply
your fave concealer right
on top of it. You might look a little silly
during the process, but you’ll be amazed
at the difference.

U

se a spoon to create the perfect
cat eye. Even if you’re a cat eye pro,
mistakes happen. It’s so easy to draw the
line too far, or to smudge it the opposite
direction. Use the straight side of the
spoon to create the line, applying the
eyeliner right next to the spoon. Then use
a portion of the spoon’s curve to create
the all-important swoop, and fill in. You’ll
look like a total pro!

S

traighten your plaits for natural
waves. First, plait all your hair into six
sections. Pancake the plaits (stretch them
out flat) and then run your straighteners
over them with the iron a little hotter
than you would normally use. Take them
out for loose, boho waves.
