Our fingertips are the most delicate instruments at our disposal for applying makeup. Thus we advise using them. To apply eyeliner, begin at the top and outline the region near your lashes. Then, repeat so at the bottom, but use a thinner line. Finally, it’s time to smear the line with your fingertips. There’s no harm in giving it a few tries to see if you can find the combination that suits you best. Once you have a smokey finish, you can apply a line of eyeliner to define the shape.

Now for the most crucial bit of advice – makeup or no makeup, you will radiate a gorgeous glow if you are confident in your skin. Make sure you wear the kind of makeup you are comfortable in, not what commercials and social media coax you to try.
