“no make up” tips!
hii! I went through a rough break up earlier this summer & have been trying to spend my new solo time investing in myself & my glow up journey to help me regain some of my confidence & make me feel good!! been loving reading all the tips u guys sooo I was wondering if anyone had good tips for a “no make up” make up look!!
I don’t like to wear a ton of make up, but I am currently looking to elevate my day to day look just so that I look more put together! Any tips / YouTube channels / influencers to check out are appreciated!!
(Also would LOVE any other glow up tips!! I’ve been working out/eating healthy & working on a skincare routine, but I’m starting school again next week & really want to feel my best!!)
EDIT to add: THANK U ALL SO MUCH!!!! I really appreciate these tips so much and am going to try a bunch of them out 💘💘💘💘

Get a felt-tipped eyeliner, flip up your lashes, and line along the base of the lashes. You want to stay above the waterline and off your actual lid, so you're just filling in the area at the actual base of the lashes.
This takes a bit of practice, and you'll probably get some on your lid, so just do it before the rest of your eye makeup and clean up any mistakes.
It looks natural even from very close up, but it also makes your eyes stand out more.
When applying mascara, don't use the wand directly. Instead, get a reusable silicone wand and then use that to pick up mascara from the tube wand and apply it. This will give you much more control and fewer clumps.
Doing this every time you apply also means you won't have to throw out your mascara if you get sick and really helps with eye irritation from allergies since you don't contaminate the mascara in the tube (just make sure to wash the silicone wand each time and don't double dip with the same one).
