Coat your brows with a few swipes of tinted brow mascara for a natural shape and definition.
Coat your lashes with a few swipes of mascara for a natural-looking lift. This will make your eyes look brighter and more awake.

Products Needed:
A bold lipstick in your desired shade
A lip liner in a matching shade
Concealer
Lip brush
Setting powder
Steps:
Begin by applying concealer around your lips to highlight
Apply lip balm to create a smooth blank canvas for the lipstick (especially for matte shades)
Next, line your lips with the lip liner, making sure to follow the natural shape of your lips and fill in.
Using the lip brush, apply the bold lipstick to your lips, starting from the center and working your way outwards.
Blot your lips with a tissue to remove any excess lipstick and add a second coat of color.
Finally, use a small brush and some concealer to clean up any mistakes or smudges around your lips and set around the edges with setting powder to avoid bleeding.
