2. Forget contouring and go the old school way
When you’re just getting started with bronzing, don’t go all Kim K on your face. Bronzing was done in order to give you a sun-kissed glow, and that’s how you should start as well. A healthy bronzed glow is always in vogue and looks SO pretty. Sweep the bronzer on your temples, along the sides of the face, and right under the cheekbones in a ‘C’ formation. Just make sure to not apply it on the center of your face as too much of the product will make you look older.
3. Multitasking is the way to go
Girls, it’s time to multitask with shimmery powders. As a beginner you obviously won’t want to use a lot of products, that’s why a shimmer blush would suffice. Light-reflecting powders can be used to highlight your cheeks and give them a nice rosy touch. You can also use the powder on your eyelids if you want a bit of shimmer. One less product in your bag for touch-ups – doesn’t that sound amazing?!

4. To slay the perfect wing
We know how difficult it is to master the art of a perfect cat-eye flick, ladies! To ace the winged look, you can cheat a bit, it’s fine, we won’t tell anyone. Take a visiting card or a guitar pick and place it at the outer corner of your eyes while making sure the card is extended towards the tip of your brows. This trick will give you a clean and perfect wing.

7. Bold red pout
No look is complete without a bold red pout. The perfect shade of red lipstick can make or break your look, ladies, and getting this look isn’t that difficult. Always apply your lipstick from the center of your lips and then move outward. This helps make the application smooth and creaseless.
8. Eyebrow mascara for perfect eyebrows
If you are one of those girls who just can’t understand how to define your brows, use a brow mascara. Yes, brow mascara is a thing and you can easily apply it and make your eyebrows appear thicker and perfect. You don’t need to have a separate brow kit, how cool!

Ladies, you just can’t apply shimmery products all over your face and end up looking like a disco ball. But a bit of shimmer never hurt anybody – you can dab a bit of white glittery eyeshadow on the inner corner of your eyes. It will make your eyes look so pretty and perfect for the party!
