Makeup should be used to enhance your facial features, not to hide your face under countless layers of heavy foundation and concealer. If you’re interested in learning how to accentuate your best features, continue reading to discover a few effective makeup tips.

Choose a Mascara That Leaves Your Eyelashes Clump-free

When it comes time to buy a new mascara, opt for a mascara that boasts a clump-free formula. Ideally, mascara should lengthen and separate your lashes and shouldn’t leave your eyelashes clumped together, which will distract attention from the real star, your beautiful eyes.

Use a Dark Brown Eyeliner Instead of a Black Eyeliner

If you normally use a traditional dark black eyeliner, which can give a harsh, dark look, you may want to experiment with using a dark brown eyeliner instead. As brown eyeliner often looks more natural and more complimentary than black eyeliner.

Use a Neutral Eyeshadow

While it’s fun trying out bright eyeshadows such as a vivid blue or green for nights out or for special occasions if you’re looking for an effortless way to enhance your natural beauty on a daily basis, it’s well worth opting for a neutral eyeshadow. As an example, you can’t go wrong opting for a sand or beige-colored eyeshadow.

Trade in Your Blusher for a Bronzer

Instead of using a bright pink blusher to accent your cheeks, you may want to try using a high-quality bronzer in order high light your cheekbones. One of the advantages of contouring your cheeks using a bronzer is that you’ll instantly make your face look thinner and more chiseled.

Find a Few Go-to Lip Colors That Suit Your Skin Tone

Ideally, you should find a red lipstick that compliments your skin tone as well as a coral lipstick and a nude lipstick which suit you. Don’t feel pressured to follow trends when it comes to buying lipsticks as a lipstick shade which may suit your friend, may not suit your complexion.

Use Eyebrow Gel to Keep Your Eyebrows Perfectly Styled

One of the easiest ways to ensure that your eyebrows remain perfected styled all day long is to use an effective, yet inexpensive eyebrow gel each morning. Just remember to select an eyebrow gel to suit your hair color. As you can get eyebrow gels for blondes, brunettes, and redheads.

Don’t Use Too Much Concealer Under Your Eyes

If you want to avoid any fine lines which you may have around your eyes from becoming visible, it’s a smart move to avoid using too much concealer under your eyes.

Use a Dewy Light or Medium Coverage Foundation

Instead of opting for a heavy coverage foundation, that won’t allow your skin to breathe properly, it’s a great idea to opt for a light or medium coverage foundation. Dewy foundations are great as they are hydrating and will give your skin a natural glow.

So, if you want to enhance your looks, it’s well worth testing out all of the effective makeup tips listed above, all of which will enhance your natural beauty.
