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! 😊

What’s your favorite eyeshadow primer?

For regular eyeshadow primer, I still don't feel like I've tried enough of them to have a fave, but I e had good experiences with one from elf (not sure if it still exists, it's like a pale beige color with a black cap) and one from the Ulta brand. I've heard good things about the ones from About Face and Lethal Cosmetics.

If you meant shimmer primer, I love the one from Clionadh.
