Makeup artists online have provided us with an abundance of heavy duty makeup looks. From spotlight eyes to glittery lips, there is a tutorial out there for even the most complicated beauty looks. However, for many of us, we don’t have hours to spend each day on our faces but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to look our best. Here are three basic beauty looks that will have you looking with minimal effort 

The Bronze Effect:  

The Kardashians have taught us all the importance of contouring and highlighting. So much so that bronzer and highlight are now part of every girls’ makeup bag. But if you want to take your bronzed goddess look to the next level, take a fluffy eyeshadow brush and buff a powder bronzer into the crease of your eye. Then use your little finger to pat some highlighter along the brow bone and into the inner corner of your eye. It takes an extra minute in the morning but will help bring a summer glow into the colder months ahead. 

Dark Lips:  

If you want to take your look up another notch, add some winged liner and a berry lipstick. Berry lips are hugely popular during the winter months and are an easy way to add a pop of colour. It’s a slight twist on the classic Taylor Swift look and can take you from drab to fab in mere moments.  

Lashes:  

No matter how little or how much makeup you’re wearing, adding lashes can make any look feel really glam. Whether you buy strip lashes or get inserts, false lashes are an easy way to open the eye and make you look awake (even if you’ve been out all night!).   

Do You:  

Most importantly, wear makeup that makes you feel confident. Your best beauty look is one that makes you feel as fierce as you are!
