Ever scroll through instagram and look at various makeup artists and wonder why you don’t look as #flawless as them? So then you end up scrolling through random pages in Pakistan promising you 100% genuine real products that they use, but they cost as much as your cousin’s Faraz Manan engagement jora?

Worry not my friends, because you just need to step into your kitchen and have a look around… because these things are about to up your routine.

1. Oatmeal

Before you apply your makeup, a smooth canvas is necessary for the best application. Oatmeal’s gritty texture helps exfoliate and slough off dead skin, leaving behind a fresh and soft base for you to work on.

Grab some oatmeal and mix it up with a little water or honey until it become a thick paste. Slap it onto your face and let it sit for about 10 – 15 minutes and then massage it off. Voila, baby bum softness.

There are various other recipes for oatmeal masks that you can check out online.

2. Eggs

Eggs are great for your hair, but they’re also really awesome for your skin. Egg whites tighten pores and pull out all the gunk sitting in them.

Bye, bye blackheads!

?Use egg white and toilet paper to get rid of black heads on your nose! _____________________ ?Directions: (EDIT: If you follow the directions it will work. Don't complain it doesn't work because it DOES, you just have to follow the steps including letting each layer COMPLETELY dry before moving on to the next layer) _____________________ ❣•Separate the yolk from the white of one egg and rinse your face with warm water ❣•Pat your face dry and remove any nose jewelry ❣•Beat the egg until frothy & then apply a thin layer of egg white on your nose. ❣•Place a strip of toilet paper over the wet egg white & press it onto your face gently. ❣•Allow the first layer to COMPLETELY DRY ❣•Apply a second layer of egg white over the tissue ❣•Let this layer COMPLETELY dry as well before applying more layers. You can do as many layers as you want. (I recommend no more than five) ❣•After the last layer has dried peel the tissue off, and then gently wash your nose to remove any residue. •This mask can be used all over the face for other blackhead problem areas. Directions remain the same.

3. Honey

Honey is naturally antibacterial but also very moisturizing.

Mix some with sugar till coarse, and scrub your lips with it. Now they’re ready for any matte lipstick, I’m talking to you Kylie Jenner.

4. Bananas

Banana peels are great for whitening teeth.

Rub them on your teeth then leave on for five minutes and rinse. Now your smile will guide the way when load shedding happens.

5. Olive Oil

Olive oil is great for removing makeup, even if you have oily skin.

The oil is nourishing enough to soften your skin but thin enough to not clog your pores. Soak some cotton pads in a little oil and watch how quickly your makeup comes off, like those Tide ads.

6. Rosewater

Rosewater has so many benefits. It’s a great toner and a natural perfume. It’s also a wonderful setting spray.

When you finish your routine, spritz some on to lock in your hard work for the day.

7. Turmeric

Foundation a little too ashy? Add some powdered turmeric in to give it a slightly warmer tint. This works with moisturizer too!

Face mask and tinted moisturizer in one? Sounds like a plan.

8. Cold Spoon

Grab a cold spoon from the kitchen and apply to your under eyes, it’ll reduce the aftermath of you not sleeping because you were texting your jaanu

Plus point: if you struggle with winged eyeliner, it’ll help you with that too.

9. Coffee grounds/Tea leaves

Once you’re done brewing your morning must have, scoop out the residue and scrub up.

The warmth of it gets the blood flowing and the texture removes dead skin and bacterial buildup.

10. Almond Oil

If your skin is really dry, massage this into for optimum moisturization.

If your foundation is matte, you can mix in a drop or two to make it blend easily and give it a dewy finish. You can also use this to remove makeup.

11. Corn Starch

Greasy roots should not hinder you from looking and feeling your best. Sprinkle some into your hair and rub it into your roots. It adds some volume and soaks up the oil.
