1. Big Clumpy Eyelashes

via identity-mag.com

When we put our mascara on, we really try not to make our lashes clumpy. So, you may ask then why are we putting this on the list? Here’s why: when done fine, clumpy lashes look chic and can make your eyes appear bigger. This is a trend from the 60’s and 70’s, so we can say for sure that this look is such a retro one. It’s exactly the way former fashion model Twiggy used to wear her lashes, and we admit that it made her eyes look as two big, blue jewels. So, then next time when you try not to make them clumpy, do the opposite.

2. All Things Bronze

via celebstills.com

The bronze makeup is a perfect way to get a sun – kissed look and if applied right, it can reaally flatter your face by using gold, beige, bronze or similar shades. Use bronze eye shadow to blend it over, while for the cheeks, the forehead, the chin and the temples use a bronzer. You can also use a highlighter for the cheekbones, the forehead and the nose. It’s also preferred to use a similar shade for the lips as well, but here you can experiment with textures, so if you previously used matte or shimmery makeup, now you can use lip gloss. It will give away a summer-ish look.

3. Under Eye Shadow

via en.louloumagazine.com

For some this is too much, but it’s never too late to try out new things! Applying eye shadow or a layer of eye pencil under the eye can make them appear bigger, or at least it can put an accent on your eye color. It’s all about playing with shades and colors, so as pictures, you can apply one color on your eye lid, and another under. Blue and bronze go great together, doesn’t they? Don’t be afraid that you are going to look ridiculous with makeup like this. When done right, it looks very chic!

4. Contoured

via elle.com

Unfortunately not all of us were born with cheek bones that we won’t have to contoure, but as many times, makeup is here to save the day. When it comes to contouring, the texture of the makeup is really important and in this case it’s recommended to stick with matte. Another very important thing is the brush. You will need a regular foundation brush and a smaller one for more precise contouring. Of course, if you don’t feel like you need to contour your whole face, stick to one or two places that you would like to have contoured.

5. Shimmery Brown

via aninesworld.theyouway.com

Brown color and similar shades are mostly suitable for brown and hazel eyes, but it will work just fine with blue as well (Miranda Kerr is the real proof for that!). There is a wide range of eye makeup that you can use, but what we recommend is definitely shimmery brown. It is great for any occasion, from work to parties, and yet it is just a gentle and subtle eye shadow. Combine it with a lipstick or glossy lip and you’re ready to rock your world!

6. Vintage

via harpersbazaar.com

Dolce&Gabbana fashion shows are real vintage inspiration, and the makeup is no exception to this. We see their models having the pin – up makeup and it’s really charming, so when in doubt, always go for this. Cat eyes and bold lipstick is the two very things for the vintage look, so make sure to master applying them. Learn how to apply cat eyes according to your eye shape and this is a really important step because cat eyes have the function of flattering our eyes, so if we apply them the wrong way, it’s highly possible that it won’t look good on us.

7. Bold Makeup

via wocmakeup2.tumblr.com

Many women mostly go for neutral, earth tones when applying makeup, but sometimes it’s okay to escape a bit from our routine and try something bolder. Play with colors and textures! If you always used to wearing a matte lipstick, this time try a lip gloss. If you used matte eye shadows in neutral colors, try something shimmery and make it a bold color. Simply experiment, but be careful – make a balance between everything in order to avoid a messy look.

8. The French Look

via makeupmyday.co.id

Ah, the French ladies always have a way to capture our heart. Maybe over the years the classic way French ladies do their makeup became more of a stereotype that we like to nurture, but however that is, we cannot argue over whether it looks nice or not. It simply does. All you have to do to achieve this so – called “French look” is just applying a red lipstick (or other bold color) and maybe a little bit of mascara on your eyes. It’s simple and it gives that effortless, “je ne sais quoi” look.

9. Smokey Eyes

via blog.gojane.com

If there is one thing so sure about this makeup technique, is that smokey eyes is the sexiest of them all. Perfect for going outs, the smokey eyes will help you look chic and maybe even more attractive in the eye of some people. It gives a deep look and draws attention to the eyes. Mastering this technique can be tricky the first few times, but as they say – practice makes it perfect. So, next time when you’re going in a club, don’t hesitate to take the time and give your eyes the most beautiful makeup look they can get.

10. The “No Makeup” Makeup

via kickbackwithcate.com

So, what’s the deal with this “no makeup” look? You may wonder if it’s the same if you don’t have any makeup, but the answer is no. But, getting this look is quite easy too. Start with your brows. As you can see on the picture, Victoria’s Secret Angel Taylor Hill has groomed and full brows. If you have thinner, use a pencil to make them appear fuller. When it comes to the skin, you can use a foundation and apply just a bit of highlighter, and you can also apply soft pink or peach blush to the cheeks. Last step is applying mascara just enough to give a bit of a bold lash look and for the lips, use lip gloss or lipstick in neutral colors, such as nude or light pink.

From berry red to coral orange, wearing a bold lipstick is what dominated the runway. Valentino, Simone Rocha, Dolce&Gabbana and Jason Wu were just few of many other designers who went for this kind of makeup statement. The perk here is that everyone can afford a tube of lipstick and we all know what a great booster of confidence can a lipstick be!

2. Pink Shimmer Blush

via lovedbyliv.com

This is a great way to boost your makeup routine. Making your cheeks blush can look so nice if you apply your makeup the right way! It’s a great makeup option if you’re interested in achieving the “no make” look. The models at Reem Acra and Chanel proved us how good it looks.

3. Bold Eye Makeup

4. Glittery Lips

This is one of the new trends that we’re sure that’s going to stick around this year. Models were seen wearing glitter even outside of the runway, showing us how good it looks! You have to be really careful when applying glitter – you don’t want to have too much of it on your lips, instead try to balance color and glitter.

5. Glossy Skin

Good skin care is a must, especially if you want to achieve the glow-y effect. It’s really hard to have it naturally, but luckily there are so many beauty products that can help us with that. It will make our skin appear flawless and if we’re lucky enough like Hailey Baldwin, we can achieve this great glow effect and even improve the appearance of our bone structure.

6. Boyish Brows

via modellove.tumblr.com

This isn’t new trend, but is still on-going. Natural, full eye brows is something we see on and out of runways since Cara Delevingne stole our hearts and we love it. Instead of plucking your eyebrows every week, let them grow as much as you can and just shape them by giving them the boyish look.

7. Smokey

via thebeautymodel.com

Smokey is one of the makeup styles that never goes out of style, but made difference this time is that it is accompanied by smudged look as well. Pucci, Carolina Herrera and Armani are just few of the designers who decided to go for this smokey and smudged makeup. It creates a mysterious, sexy look – you might want to give it a try next time you go out with friends.

8. Underliner

via stylecaster.com

Glitter wasn’t just on the lips or eyelids, many makeup artists apply it even as underliner. Here’s one new trend that we’re really looking forward to! You can use glitter or shimmery eyeliner instead of mascara or if you feel like this isn’t the right for you, how about applying tiny crystals such as these?

9. Watercolor Makeup

via vogue.com

For someone who only knows how to apply mascara and lipstick, this kind of eye makeup will be hard at first to achieve, but once you got it right, it will make you feel so good! The watercolor effect was seen on models and is going to be a trend this year, so prepare to see more of it.

10. Purple and Pink

Check out these 15 different methods and techniques for fixing broken makeup of all kinds in order to save them from being wasted!

1. Re-pot a broken lipstick

When you Google search “fix broken makeup”, you’ll find that the most common thing that pops up is powdered, since those break so easily. Sometimes, however, lipsticks snap and need to be saved too! Makeup Tutorials suggests harvesting what’s left, mixing it into a gloss, and re-potting it so it can be put on with a brush instead.

2. Fix broken powder makeup without alcohol

As you’ll notice, many of the techniques and tutorials you’ll find online for fixing broken powdered makeup involve soaking it in isopropyl rubbing alcohol and letting it dissolve out, leaving the powder once more packed down and smoothed. There are many different spins on this technique, but the basic steps that you see on Girl Versus Makeup are perhaps the most popularly used.

3. Fix broken blush in the pot

While some tutorials suggest taking the powder right out of the original pot and mixing it elsewhere, Ms Quinn Face opts to skip that step and just make the whole process happen right in the compact to save materials and time. That way you can just press things down, leave it all to dry, and be done with it!

4. Fix broken compacts with a spoon

Are you worried about over-saturating the compact, not smoothing it out properly, and ending up with a lumpy finished product that you don’t like using? Then check out how Happy Treasures changed the standard process up ever so slightly! They place the compact on an old plate to catch any mess, use the cap of the alcohol to add it in smaller quantities, and use the flat back of a spoon to smooth things out nicely and really press the powder down.

5. Fix a compact with spray-on alcohol

Perhaps your compact is actually only crumbled a little on the very surface but not at the bottom, so you don’t know that soaking all of what’s left in a lot of alcohol will really be helpful without doing more damage? Then use a spray bottle of alcohol instead! Beauty Nerd by Night shows you how to spritz the surface of the compact more lightly for things that are only damaged a little bit.

6. Fix broken highlighter with surgical spirit

Are you unable to find actual 99% proof isopropyl alochol in your local drug store? That’s certainly a possibility, as some countries have actually outlawed its sale to the general public. Instead, check out how Alice Jane Potter fixed a smashed highlighter using tweezers and surgical spirit.

7. Fix a broken lipstick with a lighter

Makeup Tutorials guides you through the process of saving a broken lipstick by using a lighter to actually reattach the broken piece to the base. If you’re very careful, this one can be done almost seamlessly, making the fixed lipstick good as new! Just be careful not to burn yourself.

8. Fix broken compacts with primer

Are you you intent on fixing your latest smashed palette as well as you can but you have very sensitive skin and don’t want to use alcohol, since it’s proven to dry things out? Then you need to see this alternative tutorial from Golden Poise! They show you how to fix it using a makeup primer that’s already sitting in your makeup kit instead!

9. Add coconut oil to make a cream eye shadow

Do you have an old eye shadow or shadow palette that’s so broken and used that it’s basically just remnants at this point, but it’s your favourite and you’re intent on using every last little piece of it? Then Crafting a Green World has just the tutorial for you! Check out how they turned what’s left of the smashed powder into a cream shadow by mixing it with coconut oil.

10. Fix broken eye shadow with a quarter

Are you trying to fix an individual eye shadow that comes in its own standard sized pot, but you want to press it down nice and evenly to decrease its likelihood of smashing again later? Then, for most brands, you can do this with a coin! Beauty by Avanti suggests using a quarter over top of some plastic wrap because they’re the perfect size.

11. Revive dried out or cracked cream eye shadow

Do you have a deep love for cream eye shadows but you’ve been holding onto your favourite shade just a little too long from trying to use it sparingly and now it’s begun to dry out, crack, or pull away from the edges of the pot? When this happens to us, we find that it gets less creamy and we like the texture less. Save your cream shadows from the same fate by re-mixing them using alcohol, just like The Beauty Department did here.

12. Fix and re-pot a compact

Is the powder you’ve broken so smashed that it’s almost dust but the pot that it comes in is very shallow and not great for mixing in without making a mess and losing most of the product? Then try de-potting all of the powder entirely, mixing it smooth in another container, and putting it back into the original compact to smooth the pot out again, just like Makeup Tips did here.

13. Fix a compact complete with a design

Do you have experience fixing your own makeup compacts but you’re always a little disappointed in the end because they no longer have the pretty logo or design on the top that they once had? Well, avoid that plain, just-fixed look in the future by adding a new simple design on the top as you re-pot the makeup instead! Emily Eva Alice shows you how to create a series of pretty little dots using textured paper  towel pressed into the powder when it’s still damp with alcohol.

14. Fix a compact with a brush and a butter knife

Are you willing to try the standard alcohol technique but you’ve found that you don’t currently have any of the smoothing, mixing, or potting tools that the tutorials we’ve shown you so far suggest using? Well, just for the sake of having many options and enough alternatives to get your project done, here’s one from Makeup Tips that shows you how to do it all with a paint brush and a butter knife!

15. Fix a smashed compact with plastic wrap

Perhaps you’ve been scrolling through this list thinking the entire time about how much of a mess most of these techniques will make and trying to think of ways to minimize that when you try it yourself? Then we think you’ll quite enjoy Beauty Zone idea for basically encasing the whole original compact in plastic wrap and packing and smoothing the makeup down over that to keep stray powder and makeup chunks contained!

1. Romantic Spring Makeup

Romantic makeup looks are the easiest go-to makeup for spring. It’s a good pick me up of rose toned colors, brighter than the previous season’s staples and it beautifully shows off feminine features, very much like the blooms starting to come out this time of the year. I can imagine wearing this with an equally dainty looking spring dress!

2. Peach Spring Makeup

A peach hue is not only timeless but also rather effortless in how this color speaks of spring. Always fresh and glowing, a peach-toned spring makeup look will definitely be a sight for sore eyes this time around.

3. Copper Tones Spring Makeup

Right around this time is a good way to show off your coppery peach-gold makeup colors, not quite spring yet but the anticipation of a warmer breeze definitely shows in these kinds of spring makeup looks, plus a good romper outfit to give the edge off this makeup look a boost.

4. Halo Eyes Spring Makeup

A good way to put color on your face but not to overdo it is to create a halo of color around the outer corners of your eye. It frames the eye beautifully but it gives off such an effortless made up look perfect for the springy atmosphere, keep your foundation natural looking to really exude a laid back spring vibe about you.

5. Pastel Spring Makeup

If you have a good stock of pastel colors in your vanity, now is the best time to wear it. Pastel colors around the eyes give off such a youthful vibe coupled with a light blush and pinkish tint to the lips, this spring makeup looks just like you stepped right out of the runway lending your bohemian creative vibe to the streets.

6. Pink Spring Makeup

You can never go wrong with the right shade of pink, pair it with the colors of your blush and your lip and this spring makeup look will give you such a natural radiance about you, which is perfect for a spring dinner with friends.

7. Lilac Spring Makeup

Of course, how can we forget about Lilac? Lilac is such a spring makeup color and it is such a hot pair to spring nails! but not a lot of people use it, so here I am posting this to remind everyone why this color has to be on everyone’s peepers this season.

Take a look at this beautifully inspiring spring makeup tutorial by Simply Kenna:

1. Holographic silver and a black crease

If there’s one especially trendy thing right now that we might love just as much as we love glitter itself, then it’s holographic things. Imagine how excited we were, then, when we came across this tutorial for a makeup look using holographic glitter! Of course we’ll take the opportunity to cover our entire lids in something so wonderful and eye catching that it looks otherworldly. We love the way Chrisspy contrasts the glitter with a dark, quite solid crease that, even though it’s blended at the edges, gives the shining eye some definition.

2. Silver glitter, rhinestones, and a purple smokey crease

Is your glitter not quite as eye catching as the holographic stuff you see above, but you still want to make your look as attention grabbing as possible? Then create a similar eye shape with silver glitter all across the lid, a nice dark crease (we’re always here for purple), and a dramatic winged liner, but take things to the next level with rhinestones! Musely shows you how to carefully cover your lid and the inner corner of your eye with little sparkling stones using safe cosmetic adhesive.

3. Light pink and white glitter lid

Do you love the idea of a completely sparkled lid but you’d rather a lighter look that’s a little less intense around the crease area? Then check out this tutorial using white, light pink, or opalescent glitters and a blended crease instead! We love the way Pretty Designs lets the shadows and glitter sort of fade out from the lid in a light smattering. Add some little white or opalescent rhinestones at the inner and outer corners if you’re feeling really fancy.

4. Edgy glitter tears

Are you the kind of creative makeup lover and glitter addict who would rather use your sparkling makeup opportunities as a chance to get a little more wild and messy rather than keeping your glitter defined and controlled? Then check out the way jordanhanz created this unique glitter tears! You might not wear this look to work or school, but we don’t see a problem with letting people know just how sparkly you feel on the inside at your next birthday party.

5. Pink glitter lid with a silver glitter crease

When you hear the words “glitter” and “crease” together in one sentence, does your mind go to a completely different place than what we’ve shown you so far? Perhaps you took the terms more literally and actually pictured a crease made of glitter? Then we admire your style! This tutorial from Makeup Addicted will show you exactly how to create the look you’re thinking of. We love their silver and pink combination, but you could recreate the look in any colours you choose!

6. Glitter lined eyeliner

Are you intent on using glitter in your look but you’d actually prefer to keep it just a touch more subtle than some of the fully sparkled lids you’ve seen so far? Then consider just following the shape of your eyeliner with a neat stream of complementing glitter, just like Society 19 did here! We love the balance created by doing a bit of glitter in both the inner and outer corners.

7. Glitter outer corner

Are you browsing these looks and discovering that a few of them are almost what you’re looking for but not quite? Then consider blending a couple of the styles together to make a whole new eye design instead! Maddie’s Makeup Tips, for example, suggests brushing just a wisp of glitter into your crease starting at the outer corner, rather than painting a solid glitter line or padding it on all over. It’s the perfect compromise between the two.

8. Glitter lower liner

Do you have a favourite shimmery shadow that you love using on your lid and crease, and you find that it’s already got enough shine to it that you don’t need to add glitter over top? Then try complementing that shadow with a little brush of glitter underneath your eye instead! Makeup Geek tried the look here in gold and we think the effect is absolutely stunning.

9. Glitter inner corners

Perhaps you’re still looking for that perfectly subtle touch of glitter, but you’re not sure sparkling the outside corners of your eyes quite suits the shape? Try limiting your glitter use to just the inner corner along the bottom instead! This will give your eyes a bright look of intensity, like you see here with Stay Glam, but without going over the top.

10. Matching glitter nails and lips

We’ve talked a lot about glitter eye makeup so far (and we’re sure you don’t blame us), but your eyes certainly aren’t the only place where you can incorporate glitter into your beauty routine! Missjazminad suggests applying a healthy portion of holographic glitter to both your nails and your lips in order to really grab the attention of the people around you! You could let these two features stand out by doing a matte smoky eye alongside, or you could get completely wild and combine this look with the holographic glitter lids we talked about at the beginning of this list.

11. Black glitter lids and red lips

Are you looking for a way to add lots of sparkle but in a much darker and more sultry way than what you’ve seen so far? Then black glitter (which we promise is really a thing) is definitely the way to go. Black glitter might not look like much at first, or be immediately noticeable the way other colours are, but once the light hits your lids, your makeup will tell a whole different story. We simply adore the way Pausa Para Feminices paired black glitter with a deep, rich red lip here!

12. Green smokey eye and gold glitter crease

Do you have bright green eyes so piercing that you just can’t help yourself from emphasizing them whenever you can? Well, we certainly don’t blame you! This look from Polyvore is one more for your arsenal of green-friendly eye makeup techniques, particularly since the gold glitter crease will bring out any secret flecks or yellow or hazel you have hiding within your bright green irises. You sure won’t have to worry about people looking you directly in the eye, because that’s all people will be able to concentrate on all night!

13. Black with pink glitter centre

A dark black smoky eye is always fun, but sometimes it’s nice to add a little something to a classic look, just to shake things up a big. We love altering our smoky eye looks by putting a shock of colour right in the centre of our lid to really grab peoples’ attention! Pretty Designs agrees with our strategy but instead of just using a brightly coloured shadow, they’ve added a hot pink glitter on top as well! Pair it with a matching bright pink lip and voila- you’ll look stunning.

14. Black glitter wing

Have you fallen in love with the idea of using black glitter, but you’d rather get a little more avant garde with it than just smearing it all over your lids? Then use it in a more defined way by over-lining your black winged liner with a layer of black sparkle. Pretty Designs shows you just how effective the look can be if you pair it with a simple black to brown smoky outward fade.

15. Triple glitter lid

Are you so into the idea of using glitter that you’re actually having trouble choosing which colour and you’re considering going with more than one? Then we say go for it! Blog Lovin’ totally agrees, which is why they’ve got this tutorial to show you how wonderful blending three shades of glitter across your eyelid can look. It’s like you’re building the world’s shiniest ombre!
