Bronzed Beauty
Prone to shadow migrating under the eyes? Rather than constantly fighting to keep it off, make it intentional by sweeping bold strokes of color around the entire perimeter of the eye. A shimmering neutral shadow is the most versatile option.

Enhanced Eyes
If you want to embrace lived-in makeup, you need to adjust your thinking. That includes rethinking messy eyeliner. Stop fretting about ruler-sharp lines and actually encourage the liner to blur by blending it with gray eyeshadow.

Stained Kisser
A shiny ombre lip wears beautifully because as time ticks on, we get different effects from one application. When the lip look is at its freshest, we get intense color and super shine. As the day goes on, the shine fades so we're left with a soft just-bitten effect. Because it's created with a lip stain, the color stays on lips as opposed to migrating to teeth and skin.

Kiss of Orange
Neutral makeup generally wears best because it's less obvious if the color migrates or smudges. To get the best wear out of nude tones, dab on lipstick like a stain so the edges will be blurred. Then diffuse eyeshadow out from the lid up to the brows.

Dewy Finish
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.
