  • Unless you're this celebrity, your look could probably use a boost (I know mine could). You could try plastic surgery (and end up like these people -- yikes!) or … you could use these quick and easy makeup tips, they're far more effective and less painful in my opinion:

  • Get longer (and longer-lasting) lashes by dusting a very light coat of translucent powder over lashes between mascara coats. Work the powder in with an eyeshadow brush or a clean, disposable mascara wand.

  • Pucker a few times as if you were wearing lipstick (press your lips together hard) and then add lip balm (or even hand lotion, if balm isn't available). It gives your lips a little color boost.

  • If your smoky eye looks too harsh, try using brown or gray eyeshadow instead of black for a similar yet softer effect. (Extra tip: Apply the smoky eye first, then your foundation. This avoids smudging from eye shadow dust.)

  • To get sexy, pouty lips, moisturize first with a clear, creamy lip balm. Then apply lipstick, smooth edges with lip liner, and finish with a shimmery lip gloss.

  • Lining your eyes all the way around does not always make them look smaller. In fact, it can make them look bigger -- just create a slight cat eye to lift up the outer edges or smudge your liner outward with a smudge brush. Pair with a nude, glossy lip.
