To sculpt you jaw: Apply the highlighter from your chin to your earlobe and then apply the bronzer right below. Blend the two shades with the blush brush.

To shadow: Use the bronzer to shade along the hairline and above the outer corners of your eyebrows.

Makeup Tip #1

 Tricks for Applying Mascara

Applying Mascara

  

Tips for applying mascara. Use a vegan and cruelty free mascara. First, curl your lashes. Curling your lashes will make them look longer and fuller. Swipe on mascara from underneath the lashes going upward and squiggle the mascara brush at the roots before pulling the brush up vertically. Applying the mascara this way gets close to the roots and makes lashes look thick.
