Beauty Tips For Q-Tips
Sometimes I use them dry. Sometimes I use them wet. Depends on what look I’m going for. Doesn’t matter the method — either way Q-Tips are must-have beauty essentials.
I do have a battalion of makeup brushes, but still I reach for the familiar brand name cotton swab, when it’s time for a quick eye-makeup application (or clean-up, if I’ve managed to make a mess… which happens often).
And I’m not alone! The amazing Mally Roncal recommends using Q-tips to vamp up your office-appropriate look for an after-work cocktail party (she advises dipping a Q-tip into smimmer powder, then highlight cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the center of your eyelids, and your brow bones. Blend, blow a kiss at your reflection and you’re out the door!) Makeup artist to the stars Troy Jensen (yeppers, Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist!) offers a helpful tip — roll with Q-Tips for those long days out when you’re just bound to wind up with raccoon eyes. Smart!
How does a brand as ubiquitous as Q-Tips update their image? By releasing the adorable and tres-chic Vanity Packs. Initially available in four trendy designs, the Vanity Packs are about to make a holidazzle debut with chic boxes to go with your Yuletide decor. AND to up the ante, the good peeps at Q-Tips are offering Afrobella readers a special giveaway!
One lucky Afrobella reader will win all four Q-tips® Vanity Packs and a chic jewelry box from West Elm (retailed at $100).
SO pretty, right??
All you have to do is tell me: how do you use Q-Tips in your beauty regimen?
I’m gonna close these comments by Thursday and choose a random winner on Friday, so let me know ASAP!
Good luck, bellas!!

I use the q-tips for many of things! My favorite of course is to smudge out the smoke-y eye look. I also use it to apply glitters, creams, and sometimes the regular cleaning of the ears! Using it to clean up lipstick smears is great as well.
I use q-tips to clean my ears. Cant stand dirty ears
Bella,
I use q-tips to clean my ears, fix eyeliner smudges AND clean my bellybutton! It’s often a forgotten place, but q-tips are perfect for making sure that little crevice is spic and span!
I use them for everything!! Mostly for clean up of nails, eyeshadow and lipstick. Another way I use them is when I get eyeshadow or eyeliner in my eye I use that to get it out. I feel it is probably cleaner than using my finger.
