Messy Makeup
Part of breaking out of a tired routine involves letting go of old ideas and rules. Suspend every thought you have about the "correct" way to apply eye makeup and dab a sunny yellow liquid liner along the lid. It's OK if it smudges a bit. A lived-in finish improves the speckled effect.

Glossy Black
Yes, you are the type of person who can carry off black lipstick. If you're concerned that you'll end up looking like your teenage goth self, try a glossy black lip. Layer a liquid-look clear gloss on top of a pigmented lipstick, like the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Perversion, $18.
