Sketching on an exotic winged eyeliner, keeping nail paint from smudging your skin to getting quirky nail paint designs, your beauty routine can get a whole lot easier, thanks to the ingenious cello tape beauty hacks.

Who would have thought that something as simple as a sticky tape can be so useful, right? It's a game changer really.

However, before we proceed to learning exactly how to use our good old run-of-the-mill scotch tape in our beauty routine, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

If you have sensitive skin, make sure to patch test the tape first, as the adhesive on the tape can trigger allergic reactions in some.

When applied directly onto the skin, and pulled off in one quick stroke, scotch tape can cause fine lines. Instead, cut a thin strip of the tape, press it on the skin of your hand, and remove it. Do it twice, to remove the excess glue before you stick it to your face.

When removing it, take care and do it gently to avoid pressure on the skin. Also, if you see any sign of irritation, redness or rashes, avoid trying the cello tape beauty tricks or try some other brand tape.

So, without further ado, here are some beauty uses of scotch tape that is simply borderline genius!
