Top 10 Makeup Techniques to Enhance Your Beauty

When it comes to beauty, the right makeup techniques can make all the difference. Whether you're preparing for a special night out or just want to enhance your day-to-day look, Avon offers a fabulous range of products that can help you achieve that flawless finish. From glimmer eyeliner sticks to waterproof mascara, here are the top 10 makeup techniques to bring out the best in you using Avon products.

1. Prime for a Flawless Base

Start every look with the right base. Avon's True Color Pore & Shine Control Primer fills in fine lines, smooths texture, and gives your foundation something to grip. A primer is the difference between makeup that lasts an hour and makeup that lasts all day.

2. Master the Cat-Eye with a Glimmer Liner

Avon's Glimmer Eyeliner Stick glides on like butter and sets to a smudge-proof finish. Start at the inner corner with thin, light pressure, then gradually angle outward and upward at the outer corner. Connect back into the lash line with a tiny flick.

3. Lash Up With Waterproof Mascara

Avon's Big & Multiplied Volume Mascara adds drama without the clumps. Wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes, then sweep up — two coats max so your lashes stay separate.

4. Sculpt with Cream Contour

Cream products melt into skin and look more natural than powders. Use Avon's True Color Be Blushed Cheek Color two shades darker than your skin tone under the cheekbones, then blend with a damp sponge.

5. Build a Custom Eyeshadow Look

Layer a soft matte transition shade in the crease, then a shimmer on the lid. Press shimmer with your finger — it intensifies the payoff and stops fallout.

6. Brighten the Inner Corners

A tiny touch of light shimmer in the inner corners of your eyes instantly wakes up tired-looking skin. It takes 5 seconds and totally changes a look.

7. Define the Brows

Brows frame the face. Use Avon's True Color Glimmersticks Brow Definer in soft, hair-like strokes — don't draw a solid line. Set with a clear brow gel.

8. Layer Blush for a Lit-From-Within Glow

Cream blush under powder blush gives you a multi-dimensional flush that won't fade. Apply on the apples of your cheeks and blend up toward the temple.

9. Overline Lips Subtly

Stay just outside your natural lip line — never more than a millimeter — and blend a creamy lipstick in over the top. Top with a touch of clear gloss in the center for fullness.

10. Set & Lock With a Setting Spray

A few mists of setting spray melts powder into skin so it looks like skin, not makeup. This is the secret step that makes everything you just did look professional.
