Two weekend-ready makeup looks worth spending an extra ten minutes on.
Weekdays are often about simplicity and speed. Weekends, however, are the perfect time to wear that bold lipstick you've been saving or finally master the winged liner you've been practicing. Here are two standout looks that are worth the extra effort.
Statement lip
Outline your lips first, then fill them in using the same lipstick shade. Blot gently with a tissue and apply a second layer for a rich matte finish that lasts through dinner and evening drinks.
Smoky eye, simplified
- Press one deep eyeshadow shade along the lash line before blending it upward and outward.
- Apply a shimmer shade only to the center of the eyelid for extra dimension.
- If you make a mistake, gently smudge it instead of wiping it away to keep the blend looking seamless.
