Strong Line
There are more eyeliner shapes than the cat eye, people. This exaggerated winged underliner is worth practicing a few times to master the lewk. Definitely try the deep green eye pencil instead of default black.

Glittery Gaze
If you've been skipping the glitter trend in favor of more "practical" makeup looks, it's time to have some fun. Apply prismatic sparkle in a winged shape across eyelids and skip the mascara for a strong megawatt finish.

Unconventional Color
Red, orange, pink, brown...you have likely worn all the traditional lip colors. Make it a goal to expand your lip color world with less expected picks. This blackened purple lipstick stands out even among blue and green options. Kat Von D Studded Kiss Creme Lipstick in Zero, $19, is a similar color or get creative and mix a bespoke shade.
