What is dermaplaning? 

Dermaplaning involves using a razor to eliminate fine vellus hair (also known as 'peach fuzz' from the skin.

The technique has also been used by blogger Huda Beauty and was thought to be a technique used by Elizabeth Taylor.

The result lessens the 'cakey' make up look and the peach fuzz that is often enhanced by harsh lighting. 

SHAVING/DERMAPLANING 

Chloe has spoken about her love of shaving, or dermaplaning, previously and she still swears by it to this day. 

'I absolutely love to do this maybe once a month, it's just shaving for your face,' she said. 

'It picks up all the little peach fuzz so when you apply your make up there is no hair catching the light and it also does exfoliate you. 

'It's extremely satisfying and it makes a very big difference in the application of your make up.'

USING SANITARY LINERS AS SHADOW GUARDS

'This one is a little bit crazy but if you are in an urgent position where you need shadow guards because you are doing a super crazy black smokey eye then you can use sanitary liners,' Chloe said. 

She then cut up two liners and placed them under her eye to protect from fall out as she did her eye make up; the liners leaving a clean, crisp line where her shadow ended.

'I was alerted on my last video that this was wasteful and it was bad for the environment to use these without thinking twice,' she said.

'So I try to use it only when absolutely necessary and once I've used them I stick them to the inside of the drawer so I can use them again (for make up reasons).'

DRAWING ON FRECKLES

To create a more natural make up look, Chloe often draws on faux freckles using dark shades of brow gel.

'When I heard celebrities like Gisele Bundchen used the faux freckle trick I started to use it a lot more often,' she said. 

'It can really help make it look like you are wearing less make up and create a more youthful look effect since freckles are something that fade with age.

'Plus, because they are a bare skin trait, adding them over the top of your foundation can make it look as though you are either not wearing foundation or wearing a lot less.'

BLOW DRY LASH LIFT 

As she is not a fan of curling her lashes, Chloe uses this simple trick to give her lashes some extra volume.

'Next time you are blow drying your hair why don’t you blow your eyelashes up?' She said. 

'The heat helps it stay longer and it's safe for eye lash extensions too.'

VOLUMINOUS PONY TAIL 

Before she heard of this trick, Chloe was damaging her hair by teasing it up or heading out with a dull, limp hair do. 

'Now I put one of my trusty alligator clips under the pony tail and flip the hair back over the top,' she said. 

'It works instantly and I don't have to spend a lot of time teasing and causing damage and using a lot of product.'

LIP STROBING 

To create a striking lip look, Chloe swears by a technique she has dubbed 'lip strobing'. 

'I strategically apply a lighter colour lip gloss over certain areas of my lips like the cupid's bow and the lower part of my lips,' she said. 

'It really helps to create a definition to the vermilion border (where the ridge of your lips meets your facial skin) and it creates a more plump look without it being super glossy and sticky.'
