Line Your Upper Eye Rim

Perhaps the most impactful makeup tip out there is to line your upper eye rim. Defining the top of your eye helps to bring out the rest of the features on your face and makes your lashes look fuller and younger. It can make a massive difference. 

If possible, opt for waterproof liners as these won’t wear off, even if you get a little teary when everyone starts commenting on how good you look. 

Cake On The Mascara

While you should be quite frugal with foundation, you can never wear too much mascara. It’s one of the most powerful tools available for brightening your eyes and making your lashes appear thicker and fuller. 

If you don’t bring mascara to the party, the rest of your makeup will overwhelm your eyes and make them look small. And that’s not always what you want. 

Try blinking down on the brush head so that you bring it closer to the eyelid itself. That way, you can get better coverage from root to tip. 

Put Your Eyeshadow On First

A lot of people put their eyeshadow on after they’ve done the rest of their makeup. But there’s a strong case for doing it first. 

Why’s that? 

Well, when you put eyeshadow on last, it’s hard to clear up any splatter on your cheeks without disturbing your foundations. But if you put it on first, you can clear up any mess that misses the target area first and then apply your foundation. 

Add Blush For Cheek Dimension

The purpose of blush is to accentuate the cheekbones and make them appear fuller and more prominent. So if you’re not a massive fan of bronzer, it can be a great tool in your makeup arsenal. 

Look for a shade that is slightly darker than expected and run with that. Rosy pink is okay, but it can make your face look a little flushed. What you want is something that really brings shadows to the right places, even in brightly lit rooms. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks evenly, stopping about half an inch before you reach the ear. 

Add Fullness To Your Eyebrows

Having strong eyebrows is one of the most potent ways to improve the way that you look. It helps to give structure to the face and provides a frame around the eyes. 

The trend in the past was to pluck eyebrows to make them thinner and elongated. But that approach has fallen out of favor. Not the goal is the bigger, then better. 

If you have naturally thin brows, you can try filling them with a pencil. The more you add, the more definition you have. 

So there you have it: makeup tips to outshine everyone in the room. Try them out for yourself!
