Face gloss is one of the biggest beauty trends of the moment. The glossy finish looks modern and wears beautifully. Put down drying, mattifying products and embrace a dewy look. The Milk Makeup Face Gloss, $20, is a non-sticky product that can be applied all over. Dab it on eyes, cheeks and across the forehead.

Softest Touch
Understandably, some people aren't into woke-up-like-this smudged makeup. Those concerned about makeup going from smudgy to messy should play around with the softest washes of color on the eyes and lips. A light touch creates a pretty no-makeup makeup look that will subtly fade throughout the day as opposed to turning into a hot mess.

Gray Gaze
Soft, smudgy gray eyeshadow won't quit no matter what time it is. Because it's already blended around the eye, any fallout and creasing will play into the look. Those who are prone to shadow drop down should take care to apply color under the eyes and on the outer corners to work with what the product will inevitably do.

Messy Liner
Nothing says rock 'n' roll like smudged black eyeliner, especially when it's paired with a wide headband. You don't have to be a Grammy winner to pull the look off. Rim eyes with a dark pencil, such as the NYX Tres Jolie Gel Pencil Liner, $11.99, and do not clean up the edges. The gel eyeliner will do its own thing by blurring with every blink to create a badass finish.

Black and Brown
When using multiple colors, blender brushes actually help create a lived-in makeup look by blurring the harsh lines between colors. Time will only make things better. So, if you're creating a smoky eye with black and brown eyeshadows and your blending skills aren't quite on point, know that as the party goes on makeup will get better and better.
