17 Makeup Tips That Will Make A Difference

1. Fill In Your Brows Have you ever heard of a makeup artist call eyebrows the "frame for your eyes"? It's amazing how much of a difference great eyebrows can make! I like to fill in my eyebrows with a pencil, but a powder or even just a tinted brow gel would also work. 2.Emphasize Your Brows  Once you've filled in your brows, it's a great idea to take the next step: conceal around your brows. Yes, really. A little bit of concealer or highlighter just under your eyebrow and then a little bit of concealer or foundation along the top edge will really clean up the whole look, making you look like you've visited a pro makeup artist! To make this step go quickly, I recommend using a pencil product. Keep it matte on top of the brow, but you can add a little shimmer under your brow for fun.  3. Don't Over Conceal, Color Correct For small areas, it's a good idea to use a color corrector instead of piling on more concealer. You'll be ab...

19 ELF Makeup Dupes You'll Love

1. Baked Eyeshadow Palette When Sephora released their Baked Eyeshadow Palette, it became a staple of many women's makeup collections. The neutral, shimmery metallic shades have spawned many online makeup tutorials. 2. Perfect Liner for a Cat Eye: Sometimes, a pencil liner just won't cut it and you need a liquid to get the intense line that you want. These liquid liners are well pigmented and come with a long flexible felt tip, which makes getting the perfect flick a little easier. 3. Invisible Powder: The more finely milled the powder, the easier it is to get a completely natural finish. These powders are identical and are the finest out there. 4. Blush: These liquid blushes are easy to apply (and blend) with your fingers. The result is a perfect glow, and there are more than a few dupes of the Make Up For Ever original in the ELF line. 5. Makeup Spray:  MAC's Fix+ spray has a lot of uses beyond simply refreshing your mak...

How to Look Like You Just Had an Amazing Vacation

Intro: It’s around this time of year when we start Pinning far-off, sunny locales to our Travel-themed Pinterest boards and daydreaming about our next tropical vacay. Unfortunately, the gloomy weather outside (and our ever-increasing workload) isn’t exactly making those dreams come true. Our solution? Fake it ‘til you make it, of course. There’s no reason why you can’t make it appear like you’ve had a week-long vacation at Turks and Caicos, even if in reality you’ve been chained to a desk and braving the Polar Vortex. If anyone asks, just smile mysteriously – they’ll never know… Get Glowing : T he first indicator you just spent a week drinking Mai Tais by the beach and indulging in every spa treatment known to mankind? Plump, glowing skin. Our favorite way to fake a post-vacation glow is to indulge in a hydrating face mask. Look for ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid and dimethicone to give your skin a big dose of moisture. If you really want to amp up th...
