When it comes to beauty, you do not have to spend hours a day to look your best. You can ensure a flawless look when you use a few tips during your routine.
Shorten Your Nose with Bronzer
If you want your nose to appear a bit smaller, take your favorite bronzer and stripe it down the sides of your nose to thin it out and then add a little bronzer right on the tip to make it shorter. These two quick steps work to make your nose look smaller without permanent changes.
Only Apply Foundation to Your T-Zone
Foundation works best when you only use it to cover any problem spots, and for most people this is the T-zone. Take a small amount of foundation and apply it to this zone and then carefully blend it out toward the sides of your face to make sure that no caking or visible lines occur.
Put Shimmery Shadow on Inner Eye Corners
When you add a little bit of a shimmery shadow on the inner eye corners, you brighten your eyes and make them appear wider and bigger. This is great for those with smaller eyes and for days when you look tired. Make sure to not overdo it because it should not be obvious.
Use a Primer
Applying a primer before you put on your foundation and eye makeup gives you a clean and blank canvas to work with. Make sure to evenly spread your primer and allow it to dry before moving on to the rest of your makeup. This allows for an even finish and smoother skin.
Lipstick as Blush
Lipstick works like a cream blush in giving you color that really pops. Make sure to choose a good color for your skin color and start by applying it to the apples of your cheeks. Carefully blend the lipsticks along your cheekbones and up toward the lower lobes of your ears.
Cream Eye Shadow for a Smoky Eye
Cream eye shadow makes creating a smoky eye a lot easier. Consider using a copper shade and a gray shade to blend and produce a sultry look. Make sure that the primary shade is all over the lid and that you blend it into the crease toward your eyebrows for a smoky look.
Increase Volume with a Damp-Hair Bun
After washing and conditioning your hair either let it air dry for a while or use a blow dryer to get your hair to a damp state. Take your hair and put it into a bun and let this sit for a few hours so that it curls your hair, creating waves that add bounce and volume.
Fan Brush for Highlighter
A fan brush with a good highlighter makes your highlighting look more real and believable. The bristles on this type of brush are not overly flexible and soft, making them easy to work with and you can easily avoid putting too much highlighter on your face so you do not look overly shimmery.
Brow Powder Instead of a Pencil
Eye shadow provides a much softer and more natural look than an eye pencil does. Choose a shade that is one lighter than the color of your eyebrows. Gently press the powder into place to create a smoky brown that does not stand out as much as a pencil brow.
Contour with Gray Eye Shadow
Ditch your go-to brown eye shadow and contour your cheeks with a gray eye shadow. Gray is a very flat shade so it has a more natural look than a bronzer or brown eye shadow. Put it below your cheekbones and be careful to not put too much on so it looks real and natural.
