Eight Makeup Tips That Help Create a Flawless Look

Ever wonder how to undo under eye circles or make your eyes look larger? In this article you will find makeup tips to help you apply your makeup in a flawless manner.

Makeup Tip #1: De-Puff Under eye Bags

Treat them to a cool compress or a washcloth dipped in cold water for 10 minutes
Apply concealer on the area just beneath the bags
This helps to erase puff-enhancing shadows

Makeup Tip #2: Undo Under Eye Circles

Tilt your chin down slightly during application of a concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone
This trick makes the circles more obvious so you see better where to put the cover-up

Makeup Tip #3: Pump up Your Lashes

Curl lashes
Apply a coat of volumizing mascara
Let the mascara dry
Follow with a layer of lengthening formula
This combo will fatten and elongate lashes better than most all-in-one formulas

Makeup Tip #4: Make Your Eye Seem Bigger

Apply a shimmery shadow along your brow bones and in your inner corners
Line your inner rims with a flesh-toned or white pencil
Curl your lashes
Apply mascara

Makeup Tip #5: How to Make Pores Disappear

Your skin is probably oily if you have very noticeable pores
Address the oily skin problem first
Use a salicylic acid and wash daily
Use a mattifying base
Go with blotting papers instead of powder

Makeup Tip #6: Dealing with a Small Mouth

Dot a pearly pink gloss over regular lip color on the center of your lower lip
Blend a bit of the same gloss over the bow of your upper lip
The subtle bright spots will make your mouth more pronounced
Go with lighter lipstick shades

Makeup Tip #7: How to Create Cleavage

Bronzer can help
Use a large brush
Dust bronzing powder in the hollow between your breasts
The exaggerated sense of depth makes the round parts look fuller

Makeup Tip #8: Hide Your Wide-Set Eyes

Sweep your eyeliner on all the way to the innermost corners
When swiping on mascara, hit even the tiny wispy lashes near your tear ducts
