Beauty - Pretty Smart Strategies

Be a Beauty Genius!! This Fall to make sure your makeup IQ is about to skyrocket, I am going to reveal cheat sheets that make these AP-Level looks ever so easy to create.

Ace Winged Liner - The double kick at the corners is a fresh, playful spin on the traditional cat-eye.

Step 1:

Use a gel liner pen for a smooth, precise line. Start at your inner corners and hug your lashline.

Step 2:

When you reach the outer corner, flick the liner out toward the edge of your brow.

Step 3:

Add a slightly longer second wing right above the one you just created! But don't flick it up or it will get lost in the crease of your lid.

Step 4:

Finish with some glam-ness. Two coats of volumizing black mascara makes eyes pop!!

Score Creamy Nude Lips - Choose a velvety formula with a hint of sheen. It will reflect a bit of light to make your lips appear plumper and it keeps them super hydrated.

Step 1:

For a try nude look, tone down the natural pinkness of your lips by blotting on your usual foundation.

Step 2:

Emphasize your pout by tracing the outer edges of your lips with a neutral lip liner.

Step 3:

To make your lip line even more precise, draw around the outer corners with concealer.

Step 4:

Finish by swiping on a creamy nude straight from the tube - and don't blot!!

Master Bright Smoky Eyes - Purple flatters every eye colour, and applying it in a graphic shape makes your eyes look huge.

Step 1:

Create a bold base by using a fluffy brush to wash lavender shadow across your lid.

Step 2:

Add definition by lining upper and lower lashlines with a liner brush dipped in a deep plum shade.

Step 3:

Swipe medium purple into the crease using a contour brush. Keep your eyes open to get the shadow in the exact right spot.

Step 4:

Go for an eye-opening effect by dusting pastel shimmer shadow all over your lid.
