2. From the outer corner draw upwards towards the end of the brow to desired wing length.
3. Connect the point of the wing back to the lash line.
4. Fill in the outline. Ta-dah perfect classic winged liner.

Beauty Bets | Tips for Getting the Perfect Brows
Your brows can make or break your look. No matter how perfect your hair and makeup is, if you haven’t groomed your brows, you’ll notice that something will seem a bit off about your look and sometimes you won’t even be able to tell what it is! Many women take grooming, shaping and maintaining their brows for granted. This could be because the whole process takes up quite a bit of time. It could also be because most women are afraid of touching their brows and doing anything to it because they don’t really know how to go about it. Though you can always have your brows done by a pro, regular brow sessions can get pretty expensive.

Genius! Eye Makeup Tricks - must know! Beauty Bets
Aaaahh eye makeup! It is indeed the most time consuming and fiddly part of makeup application. Over the years, working playing with makeup, I’ve also adopted some simple techniques that can save a lot of time – especially on those days where you want to look presentable but don’t quite have the time to spend on application.
So here are some of my favourite tricks which will not only save you time but also make you a mini makeup artist in your own right ;)
LINE & CURL
I’m definitely an advocate for curling the lashes. It’s amazing what a difference they make to your overall look. It’s this love of curled lashes that also helped me master this “2 for 1″ technique of lining the eyes as you curl them. It creates a soft, smudged-in look which is great for daytime.
You need: a pair of lash curlers and a soft eye pencil – just your regular eye pencil will be fine, as long as it’s easy to apply.
With your eye pencil, draw a thin line right along the edge of your lash curler; you can make the line as thin or thick as you like.
Make sure you get as close to your lashline as possible and press the base of the curler against your skin. Squeeze and release the handle a few times to make sure the eyeliner smudges well into your lashline, and to help your lashes curl.
Voila! you not only curled your lashes but also lined them! It’s that easy!
The way your lash curler sits against your eyes is the most important thing; so if you miss any bits, just smudge and fill in the color with your brush. I’ve always used either Kevyn Aucoin lash curler here or the Shu Uemura lash curler (available at select department stores) as both have the perfect curve to fit over most eye shapes
THICKEN YOUR LASHES
If you love thick voluminous lashes but don’t have the time to build up a million layers of mascara, or bother with false lashes, this trick is for you! It’s the powder technique, which helps you achieve thickness in the lashes with just 2 coats of mascara – but the result is about as equivalent to 3-4 coats.
You need: your regular mascara and loose face powder (preferably mineral powder as they are finely milled and won’t clump up)

Make Your Lipstick Last Step-by-step
The secret to setting your lipstick isn't really a secret. It's a combination of prep, application, and product choices. Check out these tips for a long-lasting lip.
Steps by Steps :
1. To ensure your lipstick lasts, you'll want to ensure there are no flakes of dead skin renting out space on your pout. Use a lip scrub like e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator or Bliss Fabulips to exfoliate those little dudes away.
2. Next, apply a hydrating, non-oily lip balm. Anything with a waxy consistency is preferred over a slippery texture that will cause color to slide right off. I love Sephora's Super Nourishing Lip Balm.
3. Pat a little foundation or concealer over lips. Don't entirely erase your mouth, but cancel out your lip's natural pink so that your lip color's true hue comes through. This also gives it a little something extra to adhere to. If you have a dark skin tone, this also helps enhance the lipstick's true color.
4. If you're wearing a bold lip color, outlining the outer edge of your lip line with concealer or the NYX Wonder Pencil will create a barrier to prevent bleeding. It's basically like installing a fence for your lipstick! Outline and tap softly with your finger to blend.
5. Now, take a lip liner and outline the lips, as well as fill them in. The lip pencil is drier than lipstick and serves as a layer of color for the lipstick to grab onto. I am using NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Rose.
6. Begin applying your color selectively, instead of just swiping across the whole lip. This makes for even, controlled application. I am using the Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencil in Quince. I've had particularly good luck with this product's staying power and the pigmentation is just beautiful.
7. Fill in the rest of your lips.
8. Take a tissue and separate it into two halves. Place one sheet on your lips and dust a translucent powder like Make Up For Ever HD Powder over the lips, through the tissue. This is a trick you'll see makeup artists doing backstage at fashion shows. Now you won't worry that it's some model torture treatment. This sets the color, without depositing a layer of powder.
9. Lightly apply a bit more lipstick on top. Now smile. Your lip color is ready to go the distance!
Did you know?
There is no such thing as a lipgloss that lasts all day. If you want a glossy look, you will have to reapply throughout the day. Or place a dab in the center of the lip and not all over.
Matte formulas will last longer but can be drying, so don't skip the prep!
Using lip liner will always make your color last longer. Make sure you fill in the lip entirely!
Use a lip brush for a more precise application.

Sunkissed Summer Gold Eyeshadow Tutorial
While a hot bikini, tanning lotion, and a delicious cocktail are definite pool-side must-haves, we have one more summer essential to tack onto your list: gold eyeshadow! When paired with a warm toned shadow, a golden eyeshadow can easily brighten the eyes all while creating a perfectly sunkissed look to complement your summer glow! Follow our steps below to make this look your own!

Steps:
1. Create the base using a matte nude colored eyeshadow within the crease of the lid and outer corner.
2. Use a bright, shimmery gold eyeshadow for the perfect sunkissed glow.
3. Apply a matte beige eyeshadow to the brow bone. Blend this color into the base shadow to soften the shape.
4. Carefully line the upper lash line using dark brown eyeshadow. (You can use black liner for a more dramatic look!)
5. Finish by adding a hint of champagne shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye to create a pop!
Homemade natural foundation powder that's healthy for your skin. No chemicals.
The moment any foreign substance comes in contact with my skin, it attacks! Leaving behind some serious battle scars. In my late teen years I began to battle break outs here and there. I believe this was largely due to my poor diet and the amount of chemical-ridden “beauty” products I used. My face would always react poorly and I would turn to more chemicals which promised to help “beautify” my skin.

I scoured the aisles in stores and was greatly disappointed to find all the “natural” products (Aveeno, Burt’s Bees, even Arbonne) were far from real ingredients. Since the skin absorbs anything that is placed on it within a mere 26 seconds, I wanted my products to contain ingredients I would feel safe floating around in my bloodstream. I wanted products made from ingredients I could eat.
I finally found what I was looking for. I use a local line of products which contain food-grade organic ingredients for soap, lip balm, and toothpaste. I purchase Primal Pit Paste for deodorant. Even after searching and searching I couldn’t find make-up products which suited my new requirements. Why not make my own?
