Clean up eye makeup residue
Tape is excellent for picking up all the pieces of glitter or eyeshadow that fall when doing your makeup! Take a piece of tape, stick it to the back of your hand a couple of times and then lightly touch it to the areas where the fallout has landed. It’s like a lint roller for your face.

Place the tape underneath your bottom lashes at the outer corner of your eye and angle it towards your temple.

Eyeshadow tape trick
If you’ve ever struggled creating an even, clean straight line using eye shadow on your outer-v then all you need is sticky tape (one that isn’t too sticky though!). When you’re done, just remove the tape, and viola! Perfect edges.

If you’ve ever wondered how girls get perfectly geometric nail art, the execution probably involved something as simple as cut-up Scotch tape.
