In order to keep your lashes stay curled for a longer time, I strongly recommend this makeup hack! Korean Makeup Hack, Blow Dry The Lash Curler

A burning hot eyelash curler can burn the sensitive skin around the eyes, so don't forget to use it while it's mild-hot.


Fire And A Small Wooden Stick


This makeup hack is also for your eyelashes! In Korea, lots of professionals and YouTube creators use this method to curl the lashes and let them stay.

First, you curl your lashes and apply mascara. After applying a layer of mascara, use the heated wooden stick to let them stay as it is.

Since this trick requires using a lighter, make sure you pay extra attention!

Toner Pack


Toner pack, or "skin pack" in Korean is a mini DIY sheet mask. You can do this skincare hack during your busy morning, which is the biggest perk.

What you will need is pretty simple: your favourite toner and cotton pads.

Whenever you are choosing your toner, you will have to pick a toner that is gentle and moisturizing. Make sure to stay away from products with alcohol or astringents, as these will dry out your skin.

More importantly, you will need to purchase either multi-layer cotton pads that can easily separate into thin sheets. Spongy cotton pads also work too!

These two types of cotton pads will minimize the usage of your precious toner.

Cotton Swab Spatula


Do you use a spatula when you scoop out cream or gel from a jar? If not, you should be starting tonight!

Scooping out skincare with your finger will not only infect your product but also your skin in the long term.

If you don't have a cosmetic spatula with you, you can easily use a cotton swab to scoop out your cream or gel.

Afterward, use the cotton swab that you have used to clean your ears. The cotton swab with the remaining cream will make your ears shiny!
