Eye brightening
Though you may not know his name, chances are you’ve seen Matthew VanLeeuwen’s work on his A-list clients including Salma Hayek. He has a very easy technique that can be used to naturally brighten your eyes: Swirl powder eye shadow with a brush, in a circular motion to the middle of your eyelid, which he says is a naturally bright spot. This creates a natural highlight to the area, rather than detracting from it and gives the appearance of naturally rested and more youthful eyes.
Hooded eye rescue
If makeup tips from Mary Greenwell were good enough for the late Princess Diana, they are good enough for us too. This makeup veteran has the no-fail tip for applying makeup to hooded eyes: she starts with an eye cream as a base then layers on CC cream to add another layer of moisture. She then uses an eyeshadow quad to create dimension; she starts by dusting on the lightest shade in the quad to the whole lid including as a highlight to the brow bone. She then uses a darker shade to draw an arch in the middle of the lid, creating instant depth.

Flawless foundation
Finding the right foundation shade is tricky, but absolutely necessary. Pat McGrath, one of the world’s leading makeup artists, shared her simple solution to finding the best shade: she tests the colour on the neck. Once she has the right hue, she blends the foundation upwards all the way to the hairline, including behind the ears.
