We\u2019ve already shared the best cheap beauty buys<\/a> and our fave sunscreen<\/a> to survive Hong Kong heat<\/a>, but we know you want more beauty info. So we sat down with MUA Leticia Bishop to get the most googled beauty questions answered by a pro. It\u2019s time to get your game face on!<\/p>\n

Google has spoken! And I shall do my best to shed a little light on these common makeup queries…<\/p>\n

1. How to apply mascara<\/h3>\n

You can build a great lash with mascara when applied correctly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mascara is for many that desert island makeup item; transforming the eyes, giving them definition and lift. First, when pulling the mascara wand from the tube, notice if there is too much product on the brush\u2013often it\u2019s at the end. Wipe this off on the top of the tube. Now you\u2019re ready to start. With the brush at the root of the lashes, wiggle the brush side to side depositing product onto the lash hairs and then glide up and outwards. Do that a few times and move onto the second eye. Take a moment, and look to see if you want another layer. If you do, start again on the first eye then move onto the second with the same process.<\/p>\n

2. How to fix cakey makeup<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve all been there. You tried a new product that morning, and by 5 pm things are not looking too fab.
\nFirst thing I would grab is a face mist like Heritage Store Rosewater & Glycerin Mist<\/a> or M.A.C Fix+, as mists help refresh things and bring back skin texture from an overly powdered or cakey makeup. Additionally, if you\u2019re setting your makeup with a tinted powder, it\u2019s worth trying a translucent loose powder instead; I find it reduces the cake factor.<\/p>\n

3. What concealer to use<\/h3>\n

My favourite under-eye concealer is NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019m presuming this is asked regarding under-eye concealer. For under the eye, ALWAYS go with the more emollient type in the tubes. The skin under your eyes is dry and won\u2019t work with drier kinds of concealers. My favourite (and many other makeup artists swear by it too)\u00a0 is the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer.<\/p>\n

4. How to take off makeup without makeup wipes<\/h3>\n

This makes me. I\u2019m so happy people are asking about this! In my opinion, no one should be using wipes to remove makeup anymore – they are bad for your skin and bad for the planet. There are a plethora of cleaner options and textures to choose from. I like to start with an oil or balm cleanser, as they are the best at breaking down your makeup, then follow that with a gel-type to cleanse the skin. Wipe it all off with a washable towel, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n
