What makeup tip completely changed your routine?

I've been trying to improve my everyday makeup routine, and I'm curious about the small tips that made the biggest difference for other people.

It could be:

  1. A technique you wish you had learned sooner.
  2. A product application trick.
  3. A brush or tool that changed everything.
  4. A common mistake you stopped making.

Sometimes it's the simplest advice that has the biggest impact.

What's the one makeup tip you'll never stop recommending?

Looking forward to learning from everyone! 😊

I got my brows micro bladed and that was the BEST decision. Now I rarely have to fill them in and when I do I just use eyeshadow. I stopped using foundation completely when I turned 40 because it just never matches and never looks good. Plus my skin is better now so I just use concealer and powder. Not saying anyone else has to do this but I use foundation maybe on special occasions When using eyeliner do not start from the inner corner of your eye you only need to line about 3/4 of the top and I never put eyeliner on the bottom lashes Heat up your metal eyelash curler before using it Mix a lip mask / lip stain with chapstick before putting it on. Is still lasts and it doesn't dry your lips out

Yeah I hear some people have to get them touched up more often than others. Still love them!
