Overtime there are a few tips I have picked-up that have taught me to be more effective in my application. I have learned that you don’t have to be a professional to apply makeup that looks beautiful and natural. These  tips and tricks  will not only save you time, but will enhance your looks in the process. 1) De-clump Mascara:  I am a big supporter of replacing your mascara every month; however, sometimes all we have is that clumpy tube we keep meaning to replace. If you find yourself in this situation just put a few drops of Visine into your mascara. This will help break up the clumps, and your mascara will be working like new until you get the chance to replace it. 2) Business Card Eye Stencil:  I learned this trick in makeup school and I have been using it ever since.
