Eye Shadow
Cream eye shadows.
Sweep the shadow onto your eyes with a few finger strokes.
Use an eye shadow brush to create a stronger look.
Layer on deeper shades in the evening to create a smoky affect.
Eye Make-Up
Use a primer to provide a more flawless look.
Apply your concealer to the eye area.
Use a foundation brush to apply foundation to the entire face and eye area.
Choose eyeshadow.
The lighter color in the palette should be applied all over the eyelid.
Use an eyeshadow crease brush to sweep the darkest color in your creases.
Apply a liner to the top lid only.
Sweep on 1 to 2 coats of mascara to finish off the look.
Lip Liner
Choose a rich lip liner formula.
Before applying lip liner, apply a foundation primer to the lips.
Apply a high-moisture lipstick or lip stain to the lips.
Line your lips.
Make a soft line to avoid the "outlined lip" look.
Mudge the liner into the lips to smooth out any hard lines.
Bronzer
Check out liquid bronzers.
Consider using a bronzing/blush duo.
Apply blush on the cheeks after applying bronzing powder.
Apply a bronzer with a little glitter.
Apply bronzer to the places where the sun would naturally hit (forehead, nose, and chin).
Mascara
Pay attention to what type of brush you're using.
Curved mascara brushes - lift and curl your lashes.
Comb mascara brushes - separate lashes to achieve a thicker look.
Flexible mascara brushes - separate lashes at the root better then other brushes.
