Layer your eyeliner -

Mario Dedivanovic has been the makeup artist for a long list of stars, including Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Chrissy Teigen. He recommends layering your eyeliner to prevent gaps and to create a more dynamic effect. He uses five layers, but you can just use two in your day-to-day.

Exfoliate the lips with a toothbrush -

Reverse contour -

Reverse contouring may make more sense with darker skin, claims Dedivanovic. Use a lighter foundation underneath where you would normally contour to create a similar look.

Use a steady hand -

Easier said than done, but Dedivanovic suggests balancing your elbow on the bathroom counter while doing your liquid liner. That way, you can get the perfect cat eye with no squiggle.

Clean your tools -

If makeup is something you’re doing on the daily, it’s important to clean your brushes. Dedivanovic says that an easy cleaner is made up of baby shampoo and a few drops of tea tree oil.

Use concealer to accentuate your pout -

Charlotte Tilbury, who’s worked with celebrities like Kate Moss and Gisele Bündchen, has a simple way of highlighting your lips. Just line the outside of your lips in concealer after you’ve finished putting on your lipstick to make them pop all the more.

Camouflage your lip liner -

Gone are the days where you wanted lip liner to be as obvious as possible. Tilbury advises that we should not only be using lip liner constantly, but we should be choosing one as close as possible to our natural shade.

Multipurpose concealer -

Eva Longoria has learned from her vast experience with makeup artists to repurpose her tools. She uses her concealer to create a base for longer-lasting eyeshadow. No extra product means no extra hassle.

Glow from within -

According to James Vincent, who’s worked with stars such as Lady Gaga and Liv Tyler, you should put your foundation on top of your blush. That way it looks like you’re glowing from the inside!

Tint your own balm -

If you want a tinted balm, there’s an easier and cheaper way of getting one. Vincent suggests just adding a pinch of Cherry Jell-O to a balm (or moisturizer) to create a nice, subtle tint.

Prep your skin -

Powders are passé -

Powders sit in the creases of your face and can make your skin look dull. Add some sheen with creams instead, suggests Cohen.

Use a luminizer to look younger -

Deanna Melluso, a favorite of Lady Gaga and Cynthia Nixon, claims that one of the best ways to look younger is to sweep a luminizer in the inner corner of the eye and down underneath it to brighten the face.

Be authentic -

No one likes the cakey makeup look, least of all celebrity makeup artist Tim Quinn. Boasting clientele such as Diane Lane and Glenn Close, he suggests using more products in thinner layers to achieve a more natural look overall.

Elongate your brow -

Quinn reminds us to not only fill our brows, but to elongate them. Take special care to make sure that they’re extending out and not up, especially if your hair is pulled back from your face so they’re easily visible.

Keep it clean -

Karlie Kloss revealed the hygienic makeup tip she learned throughout her many years of modeling: use a lighter on your liner! Heating the tip of your lip liner can help disinfect it after you’ve been sick.

Double applications are key -

Sir John, who does makeup for Queen B, tells us to set all of our makeup. This means that for any cream product, you need to put a powder on top. That’s what will keep your look together all day long.

Concealer wake-up call - Get rid of dark circles by using a warm concealer, preferably something with a peach or pink-based tone. Sir John says so!

Brown is best -

Clump-free lashes -

Kara Yoshimoto Bua, who has worked with celebs such as Saoirse Ronan and Zoë Kravitz, has ingenious advice for clump-free lashes. She suggests using the tip of a makeup brush to roll the eyelid a bit back in order to better work through your lashes with mascara.

Contour placement -

If you don’t know quite where to contour, Bua claims that the perfect placement can be achieved quite easily. Just aim from the middle of the ear to the middle of the mouth.

Match your base -

No one wants to look like they’re wearing a makeup mask. Mary Greenwell, whose clients include Jessica Chastain and Cate Blanchett, says that the best way to match your concealer to your skin is by using it on your neck in the best light possible.

Primer to the brows -

Niki Metz, who frequently pairs with Tori Spelling, advises putting primer all the way up to your brows so that your brow color stays in place for longer.

Egg on your face -

Want a DIY solution to tighten up your skin? Metz recommends egg whites. Whisk them before spreading them on your face, and let them sit for 20 minutes. Then rinse them off with warm water. This will create an automatic facelift.

Skip the false lashes -

While false lashes can be beautiful, it’s unlikely we’re doing them every day. Instead, makeup artist Sandy Linter suggests using a pencil to draw small strokes between lashes (before mascara) in order to get a similar effect. Linter works with clientele such as Christie Brinkley and Iman.

Touch is key -

Shay Mitchell has revealed that she imitates the light touch of makeup artists like Ariel Tejada when working with her BeautyBlender.
