Brighten up your eyes

  You don’t need to go full-on smoky to make your eyes pop. After choosing your favorite eye shadow, line your eyes using a shade darker than your eye color (brown eyes will want to go with black or dark brown, while blue or green eyes can be a little more creative). “It should be thinner at the inner corner and a little thicker at the end, that way it gives the eye a lift,” says Garcia. Then top with a few coats of mascara, making sure to go all the way to the lash line, which helps define and lift the lashes, says Garcia.

Have a signature lip color

  “Bobbi always says a woman should have her no-mirror-lip-color,” says Garcia. “That means that you carry it around in your purse, you don’t need a mirror to put it on, and you know it’ll look great.” To find this magical shade, look at your natural lip color and go one shade brighter or a shade darker, depending on what you prefer. Garcia also suggests opting for a creamy formula, which tends to be more forgiving and natural looking. 

Fill in your brows

 One thing Bobbi mentioned on GMA was the importance of defining your brows. Her secret weapon: eye shadow. Use a shade slightly darker than your hair color and fill eyebrows in with shadow and a brow brush, rather than a pencil, says Garcia. This will give off a softer, more natural look. But don’t be afraid to consult a makeup artist for the right product, since finding your perfect shade can be difficult, says Garcia.

 

Get a subtle glow

Highlighter is one of those tricky products that’s easy to get wrong. If you go too light, you’ll risk a whitish or silvery effect. “Pick one in your skin tone so it just looks like you’re glowing,” says Garcia. Apply it right at the highest point of your cheeks for a little shimmer when the light hits you. 



 

Find your perfect blush

Not sure if you should go pink, red, or peach? “When picking a cheek color, you always want to use the color of your lips or your natural blush color,” says Garcia. So if you can’t think of how rosy your cheeks typically get, just hold options up to your lips to find the right hue.
