Let Your Makeup Dry Before Fixing Mistakes

If you mess up your eyeliner, mascara, or eyeshadow, don’t wipe it off right away. Let it dry before removing it. “You’ll notice [dried makeup is] much easier to lift off from the skin,” explains Erika Picardo, the founder of Preim Beauty Inc.
If you are fixing eyeliner, use a Q-tip dipped in makeup remover. Gently remove the makeup, let the skin dry, and then reapply. With a bit of patience, your makeup will go on (and come off) more smoothly.
