By Connie Limon
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
