For those of you who struggle with false lashes, only to end up with them crooked or flapping in the breeze, this is the false lash tutorial you've been waiting for. Fashion and Makeup YouTube darling Jaclyn Hill has had some big-name beauty collaborations in the past year, and it's obvious why. Her insanely detailed makeup tutorials break down challenging techniques in a way that even the severely makeup challenged can understand.
Jaclyn gives us so many tricks and tips in this video (and let's face it, we need all the help we can get when it comes to lashes). Who would have known that angling your magnifying mirror upward would make applying falsies so much easier? Other hacks we love: trimming lashes to fit your eye (from the outer corner so as not to alter the shape of the fringe), and applying the lash glue straight from the tube to your lashes -- waiting 30 seconds to one minute to let the glue become tacky. And if you can't quite get the placement of your lashes just right -- it's because you're using your fingers instead of tweezers. After trying out her tips, our lash application looks exactly the way we want it to. NBD.

Fun-to-watch vlogger Chrisspy (known for her wild hair colors and out-of-this-world Halloween makeup) gives us the quintessential classic winged eyeliner tutorial -- and we love how simple it is to follow.
Chrissy makes it supereasy by talking about the amount of product on the brush and the varying pressures needed to create the look. Start by using a liquid liner with a long built-in brush along the inner corner of the eye, staying superclose to the lash line. Do not re-dip the brush. Instead use the almost-dry brush to taper the inner corner of the eye. Re-dip and draw the line out towards the eyebrow, releasing the pressure at the end of the stroke. Draw a triangle connecting back to the first line. Fill this section in. Drag the line up to the tip of the tail, again releasing the pressure to get that perfect narrow tip. Clean up the initial line and finish with mascara and lashes (for a more dramatic look.) You are now ready to SLAY.

This gorgeous vlogger from the Netherlands creates some of the most sparkly, colorful makeup tutorials around. Here she takes us back to basics by schooling us on the right way to apply matte lipstick -- without using lip liner.
Trick No. 1 to getting a perfectly drawn lip? Start with a blank canvas by applying foundation or concealer all over your lips. The next thing you're probably doing wrong? Applying your lipstick straight from the tube. Instead, she says, use your favorite lip brush to draw a precise "X" on your cupid's bow so that your right and left side will be symmetrical. Once your lips are fully filled in, clean up any messy edges with concealer. There you have it, a supereasy, supersymmetrical matte pout.

In this makeup tutorial with over 14 million views, Desi Perkins, one of the most subscribed-to beauty bloggers, shows us how to fill in sparse eyebrows perfectly. Desi, like so many women, has succumbed to the fate of overplucked eyebrows. The thing is, you'd never know it by looking at her.
The key to this look is using multiple products on different parts of the brow. Desi starts by applying a wax product to hold the hairs in place. Then, using a brow pencil, she draws precise, hair-like strokes to fill in sparse areas. You want to focus on building the inner, denser part of the brow first. To avoid product buildup, she periodically uses her spoolie to brush the brows. To create the tail, use a brow pomade with a small angled brush; feather-light strokes will help create the illusion of individual hairs. Make sure to use a little product at a time and build as you go. Keep the inner corners lighter to mimic the gradient of natural brows. Finish with a brow gel, brushing upward to keep the effect natural. Lastly, Desi finishes the look with concealer applied with a stiff brush under the brow to accentuate the line.
