Nude inner eye highlighter

Tutorials promise nude eye pencils on the waterline will instantly make you look more awake, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Blogger Suzanne Schuurman of Make Up Your Mind put Catrice Made to Stay Inside Eye Highlighter Pen, $8.90, to the test, and we have to admit -- the difference is the definition of subtle, but there is some added brightness.

Highlighted cheeks

Ysis Lorenna at Le Beauty Girl has perfected the art of highlighting, as demonstrated by this natural cheek highlight. It's so natural we had a hard time spotting it in the first place. To get the look, try one of our top-rated highlighters, like Benefit Watt's Up, $30, or work in a touch of blush and bronzer with The Body Shop Shimmer Waves, $22.
