A make-up page on TikTok has shared a video posted by Niio, where she demonstrates how she hides her bags under her eyes with a little foundation and concealer.
She starts off the video by showing the one side of her face which has the noticeable eyebags, and then shows the other side of her face which she has already concealed.
She then applies a few drops of liquid foundation on her eyebags, and then slightly dabs and blends the foundation with her finger.
Once she is done blending the foundation, she applies concealer with a medium-sized make-up brush, and then blends the concealer with her finger.
Once she is done with the concealer, we see that the bags under her eyes have been concealed, and are no longer visible.

If you have manicured nails and they have begun to grow out, making a weird space between your gel or acrylic manicure and your cuticle, then this beauty hack is for you.
Rose Friederike shared a video on TikTok demonstrating how she fills the space of her grown-out manicured nails with glitter nail polish.
The hack is simple. She paints the gap on her nails with heavy glitter nail polish which makes it seem as though she has just gotten a new manicured set with a glitter ombre design.
Getting your acrylic nails removed at your nail salon means using acetone to melt off the acrylic, but acetone is really not good for your skin.

In the video, Barra makes use of a dental floss pick.

Clear hair ties are the best to use when you are trying to achieve a super tight pony. If you are a fan of using clear ties you know that it can be really painful as they tend to stick to your hair, and pull your hair out when you are trying to take them out.
