4 quick and easy makeup looks that look great every time

Hands up if you don’t want to spend hours putting on a full face of makeup every day. As well as working full-time jobs, maintaining a social life, keeping on top of household chores and reserving time for ourselves, there are simply not enough hours in the day for a lengthy makeup routine.

Thankfully, there are plenty of makeup tricks that guarantee excellent results with minimal input. Music to everyone’s ears!

Graphic liner

Make a statement with some attention-grabbing eyeliner. The ultimate tool for anyone who likes experimenting with their makeup, graphic eyeliner gives you the freedom to dress your eyes however you like. Look to social media for inspiration; here you’ll find everything from reverse cat eyes to cutesy patterns and new takes on the classic wings. 

For the best result, keep your eyes open to avoid any creases, use a long, thin brush to create smoother lines and use the back of the brush to create pretty patterns. And if in doubt, there are millions of makeup tutorials just waiting to be discovered.

Bold brows

Thick brows and in and it looks like they’re here to stay. Not only are all the it-girls making their brows the star of the show, but brows beautifully frame the face and instantly elevate any makeup look. 

All you need is an eyebrow brush to brush up all the hairs away from your eyes, making sure to brush each individual hair to its optimum length, and then fill in the sparser areas with an eyebrow pencil. Then apply some eyebrow gel to set it in place and you’re ready to go. Just don’t be surprised if you raise a few brows (of envy!)

‘French girl’ lipstick

Who else wants to embody that effortless French elegance without toiling for hours in front of the mirror? Then you obviously haven’t found your perfect red lipstick shade, for this is the secret tool in your makeup toolkit. 

Find the lipstick that works for your skin tone and then apply the lipstick by pouting your lips and dabbing it on to the centre of your mouth. Then dab outwards, fusing the colour along the way so that the centre of your lips is, rightfully, the centre of attention. Keep the rest of your makeup simple and let your lipstick shine.

Bright eyeliner

Fun and party-ready, bright eyeliner is great for anyone who wants a convenient pop of colour. Coming in all shades, apply it to the inner and outer corners of your eyes, maybe even following the structure of your eyebrows for a more edgy look. Watch out for your contact lenses when applying and hit the party come day or night.
