• Full browse with sparse areas? Use a tinted brow gel to fill in the gaps for a more natural arch.

• Thick brows still have to look neat so make sure to tweeze the stray strnads under your brows.

3. For poppy lips:

• Bright lips need to be smooth and flake-free. Make sure to prep with lip balm.

• Dab your lip color and concentrate the color on the center of your lips for a fuller pout.

• Bright lips look best in creamy, buttery formula.
