Apply concealer in an upside-down triangle shape brighten your dark circles and shift attention to your pupils.
Do not hurry when you put on fake eyelashes and wait for at least 30 seconds for the lash glue to dry up.
While putting on the lashes, take a mirror and look down into the mirror to precisely place the strip.
If you do not wish to go for a smoky eye, use the eyeliner till your upper lash line only. Rimming the entire eyes makes your eyes appear small!
Natural-looking curls in your eyelashes are possible only if you use your eyelash curler up the entire length of eyelashes.
Make your pout seem more significant by lining your lips with the same color as the lipstick and draw the line over the natural outline of your lip.
Ensure using your thumb to avoid lipstick on your teeth.
Put a tissue paper on your lips after applying lipstick and use a translucent powder to set your lipstick.
Test foundation on your face and not on your wrists. Even slight color change makes a difference!
Using highlighter attracts the part of the face where you have applied it. Apply it on your cupid’s bow so that your lips appear fuller.
Why waste makeup? Use the last bit of the makeup as well by using a tiny spatula to use the leftover.
Brow gel over? Use hairspray or hair gel on a clean toothbrush and use it to keep your brows in place.
Wet your angle brush with setting spray or water and dip it in your eyeshadow. Use it to line your eye. If you want a smoky-look, let the lining dry and use a Q-tip to blend and get a softer look.
Applying the eyeliner ideally is also as art. However, at first, you must know eye shape and then decide on eyeliner that looks best.
Is your mascara getting clumpy? Add some drops of saline solution and mix it properly. This adds moisture and extends your mascara’s shelf life.
Use white or nude eyeliner onto your waterline and make your eyes appear brighter, bigger eyes.
Put the white or nude eyeliner onto your brows and blend along, to make the natural arch of the brows seem highlighted.
Why not make your own lip color? Apply your favorite lipstick, leave it for ten minutes, use wet cotton to remove it, and apply lip balm to get a hydrated and stained look.
After putting on mascara, put some powder to make them look thicker. Also, apply another layer of mascara to hide the dust.
Use foundation as a tinted moisturizer. Mix foundation as well as a moisturizer in parts. Add gel bronzer to get a tan glow or some drops of highlighter for a dewy look.
