2. White liner on the water line of your eyes creates the illusion of bigger eyes, where as dark liner creates smaller eyes.
3. Use a white primer or eye pencil on your lids before you apply eyeshadows to make the colors pop and last longer. To minimize creases, dust your lids with powder before the primer.
4. No one likes black raccoon eyes. To keep black (or any color) eyeliner from running, apply loose powder right under the liner to set it and keep it in place. Sometimes I apply light translucent powder on top of the liner to keep it from running on my bottom eyelids.
5. To lift brows, apply a light shade of shadow or concealer to entire brow bone and blend into brow.
6. To minimize pores and tone down a puffy face, rub ice cubes over face for 10 seconds on each side going in an upward and outward motion. This lifts the skin and closes pores for a smoother face. This technique also helps with inflammation and redness in the skin.
8. DIY tinted moisturizer: Mix equal parts of your favorite oil-free moisturizer with a cream concealer or foundation. Apply to face with a brush or sponge. That's it!
9. To tame brows: Spray a light holding spray on a clean mascara wand (disposable wands work best) and brush brows in place.
10. To give the illusion of plump lips, apply a complimenting shimmer eyeshadow to the MIDDLE of your lipstick and gentle pat into your top and bottom lip. Apply a darker contouring powder or cream under your bottom lip (the space between your lip and chin) then gently blend out.
