How to Create Great Finishing Touches

After years of trial and error and a drawer full of all-wrong lipsticks and eye shadows, you’ve finally achieved a look you love. Polish that perfect look, or perk up the look that’s still in progress, with 10 top-to-bottom tips that create great finishing touches.

1. Add a little shine to your do with a spritz of anti-frizz, shine enhancer. Spray onto your fingertips and pull through the hair closest to your face. This brings out your highlights and casts light onto your face.

2. Groom your eyebrows. Use a brow liner first to fill in any sparse areas then follow with brow powder. The pencil wax will help hold the powder in place.

3. Try hair wax to super-define your brow arch. Rub wax onto the tips of your middle fingers and, beginning nearest your nose, sweep brows up into their natural arch and out toward your ears.

4. Use a lash curler to cast a shadow on your browbone and draw attention away from any dark under-eye circles.

Tip: Try gently curling your lashes just after a hot shower or steam when they’re most pliable.

5. For longer, fuller lashes with no clumps hold your mascara brush parallel to your eye lid at the base of your lashes. Press into lashes as close to the lid without touching it as you can. Gently move the brush back and forth as you pull it through your lashes. This safely lengthens and separates.

6. For eyes that pop, apply liner a shade darker than your darkest eye shadow to the middle of your top lashline. This will give the illusion of higher, wide-open eyes.

7. Using concealer a shade lighter than your skin or a facial highlighter or brightener, apply to the outer folds of your nose, at the corners of your mouth and the far inside corners of your eyes (all the way out to your nose and around the inside corner of your eye socket). Blend well. This will brighten your face for a picture-perfect glow.

8. Plump your pucker by lining your top lip from the outside corner to the V in the center. Add a high-shine or shimmering gloss to the center of both top and bottom lips for even more plump.

Tip: Lining from the outside in creates a fuller look while lining from the V to the outer corner creates a thinner look.

9. Add a dusting of brick or pink blush to the plumpest part of your cheek for a sun-kissed look that lights up your entire face.

10. To give your face a healthy glow, rub a small amount of Vaseline or your moisturizer into the palms of your hands and gently press against your cheeks, browbones, forehead and nose.
