1. Cosmetics tricks and tips
PHOTO: VIEWPOINTSThere are innumerable ways to make your makeup products last longer. If your mascara is running low, squeeze a few eye drops in the bottle to make it last longer. Another great idea is investing in 2-in-1 beauty products like a stain that can be used as a lip colour and also as a cheek stain.
2. White liner for sleepy eyes

3. Share products with a roomie

4. Buy only the essentials
PHOTO: MAKEUPANDBEAUTYYou don't need to buy all kinds of cosmetics to do your makeup. For example, you don't have to buy a primer, setting powder, makeup setting spray etc. Just spend money on basics like lipstick/gloss, eyeliner, foundation and blush. This way you will end up saving a bit of your pocket money.
5. Jelly + perfume = long-lasting fragrance
PHOTO: MAKEUPANDBEAUTYYou don't need to keep spraying your expensive perfume throughout the day. If your fragrance isn't strong enough, then apply petroleum jelly on your wrists and then spray the perfume on top. This will retain the fragrance for longer.
