Who needs a full kit? Hailey Bieber's two-product make-up hack for effortless glam
Hailey Bieber's latest minimal makeup look is all about simplicity and adaptivity as she showed how to use two products for the entire face. Image: Instagram We love a resourceful queen, and Hailey Bieber has proven to be one of them. The Rhode Beauty founder recently shared a 'Get Ready With Me' video on TikTok while in her car and used only three make-up items from her purse; however, the catch is that Bieber used a lip liner for almost her entire face. After lining and contouring her lips, she used it to contour her face. The 28-year-old model also proceeded to use the Rhode pocket blush for her cheeks, used it as eyeshadow and to give her lips some colour. Bieber also did not use any brush for this simple yet effective make-up look. This shows that even if you do not have any make-up brushes, your look will certainly come out perfect.

She finished off with setting spray and then put on some shades to pull off the final look. This hack certainly shocked her fans; however, this technique has been popular among make-up artists and make-up enthusiasts. If you are a frequent make-up user, you have used one product for at least two or more different parts of your face. Reinventing your make-up routine can be as simple as getting more mileage out of your existing products. Here's how to use your favourite items in at least three different ways, targeting various areas of your face: A hack to use liquid lipstick as a blush is so popular in the industry, and many make-up influencers have normalised this hack, and others have also shared that they prefer to use a liquid lipstick as a blush since it is more effective. Another quite popular lipstick hack is using the product for its intended use; however, you can definitely repurpose it as an eyeshadow or a colour corrector. Red or orange lipsticks with cream or sometimes matte formulas work well as colour correctors. While a highlighter sometimes serves as an eyeshadow or a body highlight, especially for the collarbones or shoulders, if you want that glowy look.

What To Watch: Stream these Netflix shows
Shameless may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it hooks you fast and Willman's Magic Lovers' Special is equally clever and unforgettable. The big news of the week is not that there is a brand-new show on any of the streamers or on linear television. Nope. The exciting tidings are that Shameless, yes, the hillbilly festival of sex, drugs, scams and whatevers, is now available on Netflix. All 11 seasons are there. Shameless, in short, introduces viewers to the dysfunctional family headed by drunk dad Frank Gallagher. He's a dad of six, and he spends his days getting drunk and high. All this while Fiona, Phillip, Debbie, Carl, and Liam are growing up through a haze of their own demon-making years. There's an endless roll call of swindles, affairs, petty crime and, well, life on the wrong side of the tracks. Literally. It's Chicago, it's poverty, it's life's gigantic hustle. The show wrapped in 2021, and it used to be available on Dstv, some of it, anyway. Because somewhere during the pandemic, Shameless just vanished. If memory serves, there were about three seasons that went missing in action. But then again, during Covid, everyone suffered from a Frank Gallagher short-term memory challenge, anyway, as the fog of roast chicken bans, tobacco and booze denials had everyone shivering in their takkies. Shameless is not everyone's cup of tea Shameless is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is, at the same time. The show takes a few moments to get into, but then you are hooked. It also hasn't aged, and it feels as relevant and entertaining today as it did more than a decade ago when William G Macy first became Gallagher. The casting was superb, the performances exceptional and the ridiculousness of the situations the family find themselves in, well, as crazy as before. It is an absolute must-watch, and rinse, repeat, and then some if you've seen it all before. Also Read: Leanne Manas: A South African TV legend Sticking with Netflix, the Justin Willman Magic Lover's Special is an hour-long, brilliant, fantastic performance that's as unforgettable as it is clever. Wilman is a magician and illusionist, and if you have not watched his street magic shows on the streamer yet, it's about time you did. Magic Lovers' Special sees Willman on stage in an intimate theatre and, at first, what you see is what you get. And after the first 15 minutes or so, well, it starts feeling somewhat like a school concert featuring a travelling magic and puppet show. After watching so many of Willman's street magic specials, disappointment starts creeping in fast, because trick after trick starts feeling somewhat rudderless and nonsensically boring. Willman's magic is incredible But that is just an illusion. Because if you press on through to the 30-minute marker, then to the 45-minute hand on the clock, well, it becomes fascinating. And that is, because the sum of the collective amounts to a much larger illusion, and Willman's just been playing cat and mouse with his audience, both live and at home. What makes Willman different to the likes of David Blaine and David Copperfield is that he takes magic, and the magic of magic, to the people. He's part of the audience as much as he is the ringmaster. His street magic shows are engaging, and you never want the end credits to roll. Turns out, the hour-long Magic Lover's Special is the same, because he plays everyone. Where Blain and Copperfield are producers, Willman is a performer and accessible. He gives of himself, and that's special. Magic Lovers is Willman at his best. He is funny, warm, and the mini tricks he shares with the audience build up to a grand finale that's as astounding as it is breathtakingly clever. When you get tired of Shameless after binging a few seasons, break it up with Willman, because he's proven yet again why he deserves to be given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
