Get Radiant Skin

J. Ryan Robers

If you have normal to dry skin, use a makeup sponge to blend liquid highlighter over your cheekbones and eyelids, down the center of your nose, at the corners of your eyes, and on the cupid's bow above your lips, suggests Jackie Gomez, the celebrity makeup artist in New York City who created these looks. Dust a highlighting powder over these areas to set. Use only a powder formula if you have an oily complexion.

Branch Out with Black Liner

J. Ryan Robers

Using feathery strokes, draw a thin line with a creamy pencil or gel along the top and bottom lashes, connecting them at the outer corners and then extending them straight out toward your temples about a half inch. Do the same at the inner corners, bringing the liner in toward your nose a quarter inch. "Continuing the liner beyond the perimeter of the eyes makes them pop," Gomez explains.

Look Sun-Kissed with Coral

J. Ryan Robers

"Peachy shades give you a fresh-from-the-beach glow, more than bronze and pink do," Gomez says. Smile and apply a coral blush to the apples of your cheeks in circular motions, blending slightly up and out along your cheekbones. The fairer your skin, the lighter your application should be. Keep eyes and lips neutral so your cheeks take center stage.

Try a Punchy Pout

J. Ryan Robers

"Strawberry pink brightens your face," Gomez says. "You look pulled together in seconds." Pick whatever formula you prefer — lipstick, gloss, or tinted balm — and pat it on with your fingers, building to your desired level of boldness. If your lips are thin, fill them in with a matching liner to fake fullness before applying lip color.

Brighten Your Eyes

J. Ryan Robers

"High-impact purple is a fun alternative to a smoky eye," Gomez says. Deep grape hues work best at night; for day, pick a soft violet. Apply shadow from the lash line to the crease, then sweep the color down around the outer corner and underneath your bottom lashes. Define the inner rims with black liner for depth.

Shift out of Neutral

J. Ryan Robers

More interesting than khaki or brown, caramel is "a flattering hue, warm and glowing," Gomez explains. Apply the shadow from your lash line to the crease. Top it with a coat of clear lip gloss or balm to give lids a beautiful sheen. If the shadow starts to crease midday, lightly blend it with your finger.

Max Out Your Lashes

J. Ryan Roberts

After using an eyelash curler, layer on three coats of mascara — choose one with a chubby wand to pump up the volume — sweeping up and toward the outer corners of your eyes to fan your fringe. Finish by running the wand along the tips of your lashes for lift and fullness.
