JAKARTA - Maybe you are more familiar with cotton buds as a tool for cleaning ears that you don't realize, cotton buds are actually the secret weapon to improve the appearance of your eye makeup.

Marlene Hariman, a professional makeup artist says there are two types of cotton buds you can use, the pointed-tipped cotton buds and the threaded cotton buds, both of which have different functions.

The threaded cotton buds that you often find in shopping centers are perfect for correcting mascara application that is too thick on the eyes, so that the eyelashes look together. The thread on the cotton part can smooth your eyelashes so they don't appear to stick together.

Meanwhile, the pointed-tipped cotton bud is perfect for correcting stray makeup applications or at the corners and near sensitive areas. The pointed tip allows for repairs in hard-to-reach areas or in more detail.

The method is also easy, you just need to wet the cotton part of the cotton bud with baby oil or eye make-up remover and then apply it to the part you want to correct.
