1. Shave Your Face Before Makeup for a Flawless Base


  Why it works: Removing peach fuzz and dead skin cells helps makeup sit better on your face and gives a smooth, airbrushed finish.


  How to do it: Apply a facial oil to avoid irritation, then gently shave your face with a dermaplaning tool.


Recommended Products:


  • Facial Trimmer – Great for beginners and affordable

  Pro Tip: Do this 1–2 times per week, not daily!


2. Use Concealer to Create a Natural Facelift


  Why it works: A light concealer strategically placed and blended upward lifts and brightens your face.


  How to do it: Apply light concealer in a line from the outer corner of your eye like a wing, and from the side of your nose upward toward your cheekbones. Let it sit, then gently blend with your finger for the most natural finish.

  • Use your ring finger for blending—it’s the gentlest.


3. Get the Perfect Blush Placement with This Finger Trick


  Why it works: Proper blush placement can sculpt your face and give you a youthful flush.


  How to do it: Put your thumb and pointer finger in an “L” shape, place it on your cheekbone, and apply blush between them using a brush. It helps you consistently hit the right spot.

4. Use Colored Eyeliner That Matches Your Eyes


  Why it works: Matching your eyeliner color to your eye color enhances your natural features and makes your eyes pop.


  How to do it: Line just the center of your bottom waterline with a colored eyeliner similar to your eye shade. It draws attention to your eyes without overwhelming them.


Recommended Products:


  • L'Oreal Paris Infallible Grip Mechanical Gel Eyeliner Pencil – Long-lasting and vibrant.

5. Make Your Lips Look Fuller Using Light and Shadow


  Why it works: A little overlining and contrast between lip liner and lipstick mimics natural shadows, making lips appear plumper.


  How to do it: Use a darker lip liner to slightly overline your lips, then apply a slightly lighter lipstick without fully covering the liner. Finish with a lip plumper for a juicy finish.
