    I Tried A Bunch Of TikTok Beauty Hacks And Some Are Definitely Game-Changing

    From novice to...a clever novice.

    Hello! I'm Stephanie. You may not (you definitely don't) know this about me, but I suck at makeup. Like really. The most I typically do is fill in my thin brows (RIP thin brow era) and use foundation and mascara.

    However, I genuinely enjoy scrolling through my TikTok and seeing the beautiful looks people put together. Whilst diving into the black hole that is TikTok I started stumbling upon makeup hacks. They seemed easy enough even for an ultra novice like me. So I decided to take one for the team and test these babies out.

    1. First, I wanted to do something that involved eyeliner. So, I found this hack by @beautyhacks to ease me into starting these. It's basically supposed to start your "wing" on your liner. My arch-nemesis.

    To help get those wings looking more like sisters and less like distant cousins 🤪 #whatspoppin #makeuproutine #boostyourmood

    ♬ thank you guys so much for using this sound - L :)

    Did it work? Yes!

    2. I have literally never in my life done a cut crease. They are incredibly intimidating. However, I found this video by @beautyhacks and the eyelash curler method seemed doable for me!

    Did it work? Kinda!

    3. Honestly, I just want to look like those stunning people on TikTok who are absolutely nailing the Fox Eye look. This video from @autumnelizafaith seemed easy enough, all I needed is tape!

    Did it work? I think so?

    4. Who doesn't want adorably pink lips, am I right? So when I found this video from @glamzillaxo I knew I had to try it. It seemed pretty self-explanatory but oh ho ho. Be warned. Apply way less liquid lipstick.

    Did it work? Yes!

    5. Because who doesn't want to apply eyeshadow with q-tips? I saw this hack from @bilintinamakeup and I just had to try it. She made it look so colorful!

    Did it work? Eh.

    6. We all have probably dealt with the "too much lipstick in the corner of my mouth" dilemma. right? Well, this video from @sanjuprasai10 shows a really clever hack to fix that issue!

    Did it work? NO.

    7. "I can finally see what I'd look like with a fuller upper lip!" I said to myself as I watched this hack from @amlmakeup. It couldn't be any easier so I was actually really excited to try it.

    Did it work? Yes!

    8. Lastly, the bane of my existence: falsies. I actually own an exceptional amount of false lashes for someone who doesn't wear them. I so desperately want to learn how to wear them, but I chicken out. This hack by @gretzieparth gave me a little bit of hope that I, too, could have eyelashes for days.

    Did it work? Yes!

    9. As someone who has a very minimal routine, the thought of using one product for multiple areas of my face appealed to me. This hack from @arremsdaytoday basically blew my mind. Lipstick as, well, lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow!

    Did it work? Yes!
