Get Rid Of Fallout

At one point or the other, we all had those days wherein fallouts from eye makeup on cheeks and under-eye area spoiled the base. To avoid such situations, before starting your eye makeup apply scotch tape. It’s best to use a broad 2-inch tape because you want to cover a larger area under your eyes including the cheeks. However, be cautious about the adhesive. There are tapes that are specially made for your face. But, if you’re using regular tape, first stick it on your hand and then put it on your face. This will make the adhesive lighter and will protect the sensitive skin of your face.
