Sweeping
on mascara might seem intuitive, but there's actually a lash-maximizing
technique that when employed correctly can take your eyes from whatever
to woah. Ditto
brow pencil and even lipstick. Here, Kimberly Soane, the director of
artistry at Bobbi Brown, offers up 10 easy tips for every product in
your kit.

Never put concealer or foundation on your eyelids as a base, it will cause your eye makeup to crease.
Use your fingers to apply your foundation if you want sheer coverage and a brush for medium to full coverage.
Always apply powder where you are shiniest first–usually your T-zone–with a very light dusting everywhere else.
You
should put bronzer on your neck, face, and chest to even out your skin
tone. Be sure to take a step back and make sure everything is the same
color.
When
applying blush, smile, then dust the apples of your cheeks, then sweep
pigment towards the tops of ears, then down toward the jawline.
Trace brow pencil or powder along the tops of brows for an instant facelift.
For even lipstick application, start at the cupid's bow and extend out to the corners of the mouth before blotting.
Prep
lids for any eye look with a matte base shadow that matches the
lightest part of your face. Dust the pigment all over lids and up to the
brow bone.
Instead
of looking straight ahead at the mirror, get as close to it as
possible, tilt your head up, and bring your chin toward the mirror. Look
down as you apply, starting at the inner corner and working your way
out.
Sweep the wand through the roots of your lashes and zigzag as you work your way up.
