In addition, if the highest point of the eyebrow is set a little lower and a more round eyebrow is drawn, the whole face will appear softer, gentler and more lovely. Whether you want to appear energetic or gentle, when drawing eyebrows, you must remember to draw them one by one so that you can't tell that you have drawn them. Finally, use an eyebrow brush to lightly brush them, and a beautiful pair of eyebrows will appear on your face.

Eye makeup mainly consists of three parts: eye shadow powder, eyeliner, and mascara. Nowadays, eye shadow powder is applied to the entire eyelid below the eyebrows and above the eyes, and at least three colors from the same series should be used, with the darker the color closer to the eye color; whether or not to draw eyeliner is related to whether the eyes appear to have clear outlines, so people who know how to put on makeup will never try to simplify it and skip this step; using mascara and an eyelash curler to process eyelashes can make the eyes look bigger and the eyelashes look longer, denser, and curlier.

6. Facial makeup

If you apply it on both sides of the cheekbones with the cheekbones as the center, you will look mature, but don't apply it under the cheekbones, because this will make you look old-fashioned. In addition to blush, after applying light makeup to this step, you need to apply loose powder or setting powder to stabilize the makeup on your face, because the face will secrete oil, especially for oily skin, this step is essential.

Draw a lip line with a relatively low slope towards the corner of the lip. This is the popular line for the upper lip this year. It can make you look smart and intelligent. Don't draw the outline of the lips too obviously. Only such light makeup can bring out the gentleness and thoughtfulness.
