We've lived through the pencil-thin eyebrow phase and the thick, overdrawn eyebrow phase. Now it's time to show off those natural brows. Simply groom your brows by brushing them upward with a spoolie brush and then fill in any sparse spots with brow pencil using light strokes. Tip: Once you have the shape and look you want, set your brows with a dab of clear lip balm to keep them in place.
Rich burgundy, wine red, and dashing maroon. Giving your lips a bold pop of color is a fun way to make a statement. Perfect with light, natural makeup and your go-to mascara. Tip: For a softer look, place the lip color on your finger and dab it onto your lips. For a fuller lip, use a slightly darker lip liner and line just outside your natural lip.
If bold lipsticks aren't your thing, try a glossy lip for a subtle yet elevated touch. The newer formulas are a thinner consistency, and lo and behold, less gooey. Gone are the days where you'd find your hair constantly sticking to your lips! Tip: Be sure to prep your lips with a lip balm or moisturizer for a long-lasting, hydrated finish.
Ready to ditch your basic black liner? Try a swipe of color to brighten and complement your eyes. For blue eyes, try gold, champagne, or navy shades. For green eyes, bronze, rust, or purple shades. For brown eyes, try blue, amber, or gray shades. And for hazel eyes, green, purple, or gold shades. Tip: Start with an eyeshadow primer to keep your lines in place.
Highlighting is perfect for emphasizing those areas on your face where the light naturally hits, giving you a gorgeous glow. Place on the tops of your cheek and brow bones, down the bridge and at the tip of your nose, and over your cupid's bow. You can even place a little on the inner corners of your eyes to brighten your eye look. Tip: If you accidentally use too much, just fade it out with some foundation.
Fresh skin never goes out of style. Embrace your complexion and try a sheer or radiance-boosting foundation for a natural-looking finish that allows your skin to shine through. Start with a little and build as you go, and only target coverage where needed. Tip: Start with a clean face, a good primer, and make sure to blend, blend, blend!

I think of makeup like shoes, I love to try different looks and colors!
Mascara and gloss are the fastest ways to make me look put together.
always apply lipstick.
I won't go anywhere without black eyeliner! I apply it to both the upper and lower lash lines.
Keep the makeup as light as possible. Too many layers will cause caking and be uncomfortable.
Basic & not too much
Love using a moisturizer serum after makeup is applied for a glow!!!
My favorite tip is to line you lower water line with a white liner to make you look wide awake. It really makes your eyes pop and helps on those days where you want to pull the covers up over your head!
keep it simple , blush , lipstick and mascara
moisturizer its the key. Even if you don't do your whole face at least your eye area!
Just give me a classic red lipstick and my mascara and I am good to go.
Always tried and true, Maybelline Great Lash (green/pink) has given me long, fabulous eyelashes for literally decades!
Any time I'm in a rush or just don't feel like applying make up, a brow filler and mascara do the trick so I don't look like the walking dead.
I love using Aquaphor for my lips and eyes
I definitely like to fill in my brows a bit with It browpower pencil. I used to use dark brown eyeshadow for that. Mascara on upper lashes only and lipstick. I often forget to use primer, but if time allows i will use a foundation or BB cream with SPF amd eye liner on the upper lid only I just started using a lighter lip color by Joan wat-a-matte in pink smoothie shade definitely brightens my face. I've learned to always get rest, drink plenty of water, take vitamins and be active and you'll look and feel your best!
