Fork for Perfect Contour
Products Needed: A metal or plastic fork
What it Does: Provides a guide for contour
Cost: $1/free*
Let’s face it, most of us have a fork laying around the house, so this hack is essentially free. If you’ve spent years attempting to master the art of contouring but have always struggled, you might only need to go to your kitchen. When you set the fork on your nose, it serves as a guideline for where to apply the highlight (center) and shade (either side). It may appear to be an odd thing to do with a fork, but as long as you clean it afterwards, no one will notice. Some make-up artists spend thousands of dollars learning how to contour, so this is an extremely inexpensive option.

Spoons for Puffy Eyes
Products Needed: Two cold spoons
What it Does: Reduces swelling
Cost: Free
There’s a 99.9% chance you have two spoons in your cutlery drawer, just ready to be used for breakfast. You might want to consider taking two of them and devoting them to a whole other purpose. Putting two spoons in the freezer could be really useful later on. If you eat some unpleasant seafood, suffer from hayfever, or need to calm your skin after a big weep, cold spoons are useful. The cold metal rapidly relaxes the skin, restoring brightness and reducing puffiness. Gua sha can accomplish the same thing, but do you really want to spend $10 on Amazon when you already have something at home?
