Dry skin
If you find that your skin is drier than usual on the day of an important event, use a dose of hydrating serum. This help to replenish any lost moisture and creates a good base for your products to adhere to.

Dry and chapped lips
Dry and chapped lips can come without warning but can be easily fixed using a lip scrub. Simply scrub your lips with the mixture and rinse off. Apply lip balm and allow the product to soak into your lips before wiping the excess off with a tissue or wet wipe. The action of scrubbing also helps to promote blood circulation which makes your lips appear fuller.

Dry and chapped lips
If a lip scrub is too abrasive for your liking, opt for a lip sleeping mask. Slap on a genorous layer and allow the product to absorb into your skin. Rinse it off the next morning and you'll be left with silky smooth lips.

Dark undereye circles
The effects of a late night can be seen on the eyes almost immediately the next morning. Do not apply concealer immediately as that will not combat the underlying issue of darkness. You'll first need to correct the darkness with a corrector. Depending on your undertone, a coloured corrector will help to diminish the appearance of darkness and allow your concealer to shine.

Dark undereye circles
If you prefer a fuss free application, opt for a concealer with corrector pigments added to it. You'll save one step. Remember to use your ring finger to blend any excess product.

Grey Roots
If you spot some grey roots making a special appearance, simply spray some hair spray onto your hair. Pick up some eyeshadow that matches your hair colour and brush it on. The eyshadow powder will stick onto the hair spray.

Puffy eyes
Choose a product with a metal tip as its contact on skin will help to drain away puffiness and make your eyes look as fresh as they were with a good night's sleep.

The trick here is to stay calm and solve any pesky problem with our nifty hacks.

Ever been in a situation where your skin decides to magically breakout before an important event? How about having to experience extremely dry skin all of a sudden? We have all been in our fair share of beauty crisis situations and if there is one thing we’ve learnt, it is to be calm. There is always a solution around the corner and fussing about it isn’t going to make the issue at hand any better.

Beauty woes happen to the best of us. If you wake up with a zit, don’t worry. Instead of popping it and increasing the chances of it being inflamed and even more prominent, use a green concealer. The green pigment will help to counteract the redness and make the appearance of the zit less obvious. Follow up with your usual concealer routine and you’re good to go.

Zits may be one of the many beauty woes we face but just as we have a solution for this, we have 5 more solutions for common beauty problems. Head over the gallery up top for a round up of quick fixes you absolutely need to know!
