Amazing Makeup And Beauty Tricks To Accentuate Your Best Features

Collaborative Post


We all have things about ourselves that we wouldn’t mind changing. Perhaps you’d like a smaller nose, a bigger bum, or model-worthy legs. Thanks to fashion magazines and social media, the standard of beauty has become almost impossible to achieve, making it incredibly easy to focus on the things that you don’t like about your appearance. But how often do you stop to appreciate the things you really love? Whether you’ll admit it or not, everyone has one feature or more that they’re particularly fond of. Instead of trying to mask your “imperfections”, why not accentuate your assets? Whether you love your brows or glowing skin, here are some things you can do.

To Highlight Your Skin When you’re lucky enough to have clear and healthy skin, the last thing you want to do is cover it with a heavy foundation. This will only dampen your natural glow and could even lead to blocked pores and breakouts. Instead, you should apply a small amount of BB cream or tinted moisturizer to allow your natural beauty to shine through. A matte setting or pressed powder may be able to tame unwanted oils and shine throughout the day, but it too can block up your pores. For this reason, you may want to try using blotting paper instead.

To Highlight Your Eyes

Accentuating your eyes is one of the easiest things to do. You could opt for a dramatic look, with smoky eyeshadow, huge lashes, and cat eyeliner, but there are plenty more low-key ways to achieve a similar effect. Regardless of your eye shape, adding a liner to the upper lash line is a surefire way to make your eyes pop. Curling the lashes and adding some good quality mascara will work wonders too. To keep this look without the daily effort, you could try an Elleebana Lash Lift. A hint of shimmery highlighter to the inner corner will help your eyes look large and bright.

To Highlight Your Brows

The very best way to show off your eyebrows is to have them properly shaped. This means removing any extra hairs using tweezing, waxing, threading, or another method. You may find it helpful to speak to a professional for advice on the best brow shape for your face. Once you’ve done this once, you need to make sure you keep them well-groomed by tending to your strays when needed. You can give your brows an extra boost of boldness by setting them and filling them in. You can do this with powder and wax or brow gel.

To Highlight Your Nose

When you have a prominent nose, you tend to love it or hate it. Some say their nose adds character to their face, whereas others pay thousands on cosmetic surgery to make it smaller and less noticeable. Instead of doing this, you should use the power of makeup to define, contour, and highlight where needed. To visually slim your nose, you should use a slightly darker color to shade down the sides and a slightly lighter one to highlight your bright. As long as it isn’t too shiny or shimmery, you could also use a highlighter for this area.

To Highlight Your Cheekbones

Applying a highlighter or blush to your cheeks will certainly help to accentuate them, but if you want to give your cheeks a sharp and defined look, then you should start with a matte contouring cream or powder. Make sure you suck in your cheeks to see where shadows should appear, and lightly blend or brush the slightly darker color into those areas. You should also blend up towards the temple and down across the chin to create what looks like a number three. Once you’ve done this, you can go ahead and add a highlight to areas that catch the sun.

To Highlight Your Lips

To accentuate your full lips, you need to start by smoothing out their surface. This means using a lip scrub and toothbrush to exfoliate your pout, removing any dead skin and flakiness. Once you’ve done this, you should apply a moisturizing lip balm, preferably with SPF, to protect and hydrate. Although dark shades may seem like the obvious choice for a bold lip, they can actually make your pout appear smaller, so you should consider opting for a lighter shade instead. After applying this color, you can add some highlighter to your cupid’s bow to draw further attention.

Everyone has parts of themselves that they’re not too fond of, but it’s much more positive to focus on the things you love instead. With that in mind, you should follow the tips above to draw attention to your favorite features.
