Hey gorgeous!  Welcome back to another beauty-filled rendezvous! Today, we’re getting into a ton of makeup with some pro tips and tricks to take your glam game to the next level. If you missed our last post, we covered a stunning makeup look featuring some holy grail products. Now, let’s get to the details that make these products absolute game-changers, and why they are a must have.

**NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen:**

*1. Prep for Perfection:*

Before applying Copenhagen, make sure your lips are exfoliated and well-moisturized. A gentle lip scrub followed by a hydrating balm does wonders. This creates the perfect canvas for a smooth canvas and easy application.

*2. Outline and Define:*

To achieve that flawless pout, outline your lips with a lip liner in a matching shade. This not only prevents feathering but also gives your lips a well-defined shape, adding an extra touch of sophistication and precise is always right!

*3. The Blotting Technique:*

For a more natural, stained effect, after applying the Soft Matte Lip Cream, press your lips onto a tissue to remove any excess product. This technique leaves you with a velvety finish that lasts.  Move quick because this lippie sets quick.

**SheGlam Freckles in Dark Chocolate:**

*1. Precision is Key:*

When applying faux freckles, opt for a small, precise brush to control the placement and size. This allows you to create a natural, scattered pattern that mimics the real deal.  Press with fingers after applying brush for control, this gives a more dimensional effect.

*2. Set It and Forget It:*

To ensure your freckles stay put all day, set them with a light dusting of translucent setting powder. This step not only enhances longevity but also keeps the freckles looking fresh and vibrant- the freckles will not move after this!  My favorite setting powder is the Laura Mercier Blur.

*3. Layer for Intensity:*

Experiment with the intensity of your freckles by layering the product. Start with a light application and gradually build up until you achieve your desired level of freckled perfection.

**Hause Labs Foundation:**

*1. Less is More:*

Begin with a small amount of foundation and build up coverage as needed. This allows you to tailor the foundation to your desired level, preventing an overly heavy or cakey look.

*2. Damp Sponge Magic:*

For a seamless, airbrushed finish, use a damp makeup sponge to blend the foundation. The moisture in the sponge helps the product melt into the skin, creating a natural and flawless complexion.

*3. Set the Scene:*

To lock in your foundation and reduce shine, set it with a translucent powder. This step is crucial for a long-lasting and polished finish that withstands the day.

**Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Auburn:**

*1. Feathered Strokes for Realism:*

When using the Brow Wiz, mimic the look of natural brow hairs by using short, feathery strokes. This technique adds dimension and creates a more authentic appearance.

*2. The Spoolie Finale:*

After applying the pencil, comb through your brows with a spoolie to blend the color and soften any harsh lines. This step ensures your brows look groomed yet natural.  Remember to blend, blend, blend- we are not fans of drawn in lines.

*3. Set and Forget:*

Complete your brow routine with a clear brow gel to set the hairs in place. This not only tames unruly brows but also adds that finishing touch for a polished look.

**Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Mascara:**

*1. Curl Before You Coat:*

For an extra lift, curl your lashes before applying Roller Lash. This step opens up your eyes and enhances the curling effect of the mascara.

*2. Multiple Coats for Drama:*

Don’t be shy with the mascara! Apply multiple coats for a more dramatic, voluminous look. The buildable formula lets you customize your lash intensity.

*3. Precision with the Wand:*

Use the tip of the roller wand to coat those hard-to-reach corner lashes. This ensures every lash is lifted and separated for that wide-eyed effect.
