Full shaped lips or pouty lips is a look many ladies love to have, but just how do you get that shape?
Apply lipliner at the center of your natural upper lip line to define the bow then work toward the outer corners to complete the line.
Start at one corner of your bottom lip then follow your natural lip line all the way to the other corner.
To get plumper, pinker looking lips, do not touch up by drawing a hard lip line; smudge it so lips look fuller! For a more dramatic fullness, choose a lipstick shade with a hint of frost.

1. Moisturize

Moisturizing is one of the most important steps you can do even before you think about putting on your makeup. When moisturizing, your skin will help absorb the makeup and also keep it in place. If you apply concealer without moisturizing, your skin will just flake, and you’ll end up with blochy, dry spots.

2. Primer

Second most important step in makeup durability is the primer. Choose a silicone-based primer which is amazing at helping to keep your makeup in place all night long. The silicone primers will give your skin a silky smooth finish and will also make sure your foundation stays put.

3. Prep the Eyes

Before putting on eyeshadow, make sure you cleanse your lids and then proceed with a thin layer of foundation. This will ensure that you don’t get those nasty creases.

4. Powder

After you’ve applied your foundation, finish off with a matte powder to put everything in place and so that your foundation doesn’t come off.

Creating a sexy smoky look when applying eyeshadow is a great way to add a bit of mystery and allure to your look. Choose a darker eyeshadow such as a chocolate brown, charcoal or bronze. Tools you will need are a flat eyeliner brush and a cotton swab.

Begin the process by applying a nude eyeshadow over your entire lid. This will put your makeup in place, so that you don’t get any smudges or creases. Dip the edge of your eyeliner brush into the dark eyeshadow. Tap off the excess powder.

Gently, press the tip of the liner brush into the base of your upper lashes. Repeat again along the length of your eyelashes. Add more shadow if needed.

With the cotton swab, gently smudge the liner upwards as if to blend it with the neutral shadow. Finish off by applying two thick coats of black mascara to your top and bottom lashes. Viola!
