Don’t have tons of time to spend on your makeup, but want to
look like you did? A mini makeover is the answer! In just one
minute, you can turn your eyes, cheeks, lips and skin from
pretty to perfection!
Get More Youthful Eyebrows
The Trick: A Straighter Brow Line
Severely arched brows add years to your face, while brows with a
straighter “tail” make your eyes look youthful. Just brush brows
down, then across to find sparse spots. Fill in with brow pencil
before blending with a brow brush.
Get Wide Open Eyes
The Trick: Hot new minimal liner
Skip thick eyeliner, which just makes eyes look small. Instead,
dip an eye-lining brush into dampened shadow or pot liner and
trace a thin line along roots of upper lashes. It will enhance
the whites of the eyes, making them look bigger.
Get Model High Cheekbones
The Trick: Apply brush in an arc
Not only will your cheekbones look gorgeous, but your whole face
will look slimmer! Instead of applying blush to apples of cheeks
- which accentuates roundness – apply in an arc shape from
slightly under cheekbones out and up toward temples while
keeping lips puckered – blend well.
Get Mile Long Lashes
The Trick: Apply mascara vertically
Want long, lush lashes? Stop wiggling the wand back and forth
while applying mascara. Many of us make this mistake, which
leaves lashes short and clumpy. The quick fix? Run wand through
lashes from roots to tips and separate between coats with a lash
comb or brush.
Get Flawless Glowing Skin
The Trick: Use a foundation brush
Applying foundation with a specially designed brush – instead of
a sponge or your fingers – helps it go on thinner so the natural
beauty of your skin shines through. Coat the brush with
foundation and apply in inner corners of eyes, under eyes,
around nostrils and over chin – blend well.
Get Perfectly Pretty Lips
The Trick: Divide by 4
Instead of outlining lips in one or two quick motions – which
can create an asymmetrical shape – get a perfect line every time
by lining lips in four sections, starting at the outer corner of
each lip and working your way toward the center, steadying your
hand if necessary.
Using one or two of these simple tips can help you recreate your
look without spending money on new makeup. Just applying what
you already have in a different manner – no matter how subtle
the change – can make a huge difference.
