However, with the endless topics and the number of beauty influencers growing on a daily, there are always the few trusted ones we keep going back to for our fix of beauty content again and again. Because it’s rude not to share, in celebration of today’s bloggers day I thought I’d share some noteworthy beauty hacks and tips from my favourite bloggers. So whether you’re a makeup newbie or beauty professional, these hacks are worth a watch!

1. How To Get a JLo Glow
Personally, I love Tati Westbrook’s makeup tips and have always found them immensely helpful. But things really went up a notch when Jennifer Lopez‘s makeup artist Scott Barnes visited her channel. Here he revealed his secret to the JLo glow that had us all shocked. Believe it or not, the magic formula was a spray-on sunscreen. Namely the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Lightweight Sunscreen Spray. Demonstrating on Tati’s chest and shoulders for an iconic sheen, my jaw dropped to the floor. Getting that coveted glow really has been that easy this whole time.

Chock-full of helpful advice on how to work with different kinds of eyeliner, the key tip here is how to connect your eyeliner which ends up looking like a batwing. With your eyes closed, it looks like a cool graphic liner but looks totally normal with your eyes open! Say goodbye to creasing and even liner looks.
5. Get An Instant Facelift With Concealer
Simple yet effective this tutorial from Megha Singh first went viral on TikTok where she showed us how we’ve been doing our concealer wrong all this time. Rather than fanning across the concealer under the eye in a triangle shape, the easiest way to achieve definition is by the placement of directed lines to draw the eye upwards.
6. Q-Tip Lipstick Hack
When I first heard about this hack I never really tried it because it just seemed so silly and not worth the effort. But recently this trick that involves using a Q-tip to get clean lip edges has been making the rounds again, so I finally gave it shot and with great success! The original clip comes from none other than Huda Kattan of Huda Beauty fame and the video of her trying it on her sister Mona Kattan. You can always trust Huda to try the latest trends and viral hacks on her channel and socials.
