So today, I thought as it's early Christmas, I'm going to treat you to a few inside tips and tricks of the Make-up world! :-)
1) To made you eye's seem bigger than they are, apply a skin coloured eyeliner onto the waterline. Do not use white! (I can not stress that enough.)White is very obvious, whereas the skin coloured eyeliner will neutralise the red in your waterline to make it match to the skin colour under your eyes; alas, making your eyes seem larger!
2) If you're looking for a more natural eyebrow, use eye shadows to fill in your brows rather than a brow pencil. Brow pencils are much sharper and are more obvious. Also remember to brush through your brows before and after applying on your powder or pencil, using a spooly brush. The spooly will not only make your brows look neater, but they will spread the powder and pencil evenly throughout your brows and also get rid of any excess for an even more natural look.
3) A lot of people put white in the inner corner of their eye's to give the illusion that they are more awake and that you have wider eyes; that's fine, but only if you are going for a very heavy look. For a more natural look, put a colour that's just 1 or 2 shades lighter than your natural skin colour. This won't look obvious but it will definitely make a huge difference to your overall look.
4) A lot of people are going to think this is weird, but I actually got this advice off a top make-up artist duo's video (Pixiwoo if you were wandering!) If you have 1 eye that is lower than the other, apply highlight under the brow that is the lower eye, but NOT on the other eye. You can't notice it at all, but it give the illusion that your eye has been lifted! But remember not to go too overboard with the highlight, and to use a matte highlight and definitely not a shimmery one.
5) If you lashes are a bit spars, just add a small amount of brown eyeliner between them. (Or Black if you have naturally super dark lases!) and that will give the illusion that your lashes are really nice and full.
6) If you're like me and have quite thin lips, then I have a nice little trick for you that will make them seem bigger and fuller! With a skin coloured pencil, go around your lips mapping it out (Just outside your natural lips shape), smudging it as you go so it blends in. then add lipstick/gloss of your choice. This will give the illusion that your lips are larger without it being noticeable.
For fuller looking lips, simply add a matte highlight to your cupids bow (The dent at the top center of your mouth). This will instantly make your lips look fuller!
