Overtweezed brows
Quick fix: "Fill them in with an eyebrow pencil or powder, but use a really light colour," says Shawn. "If you do need the extra colour, go only one step darker -- otherwise the brows tend to look theatrical."
Long-term: Get brows shaped by a professional, then follow the line at home with the help of our step-by-step brow grooming guide.
Puffy eyes
Quick fix: Gushue suggests a cold gel eye mask or a Ziploc bag full of frozen peas and Shawn recommends cupping two frozen spoons over the eye area for a few minutes.
Long-term: Get some sleep and drink lots of water.
Dark circles
Quick fix: Apply a yellow-based concealer on dark spots.
Long-term: If your dark circles are hereditary, there isn't much you can do. Otherwise, don't rub your eyes and get lots of rest and water, suggests Gushue.
Bikini bumps
Quick fix: "If it's really nasty, put some concealer on," says Shawn. "But the best thing to do is to leave it alone and let it air."
Long-term: "Use a good, clean, new razor and shaving gel," says Gushue. "If that doesn't work, try waxing." (Click here for more tips on banishing bikini line blues -or... errr....red)
Smudged eyeliner
Quick fix: Take a Q-tip with some non-greasy eye-makeup remover or alcohol-free toner and clean it up.
Long-term: "Don't use pencil liners," says Gushue. "The combination of the waxy pencil and an oily lid will always smudge." Instead, wet a skinny angled brush and dab on some eye shadow -- the consistency should be like a creme. For the lower lid, use a Q-tip and smudge some shadow.
