Glow Up: The Next Makeup Star has taken Netflix by storm, slowly but surely rising to become one of the streaming platform’s favourite competition shows! With this fiery new makeup competition comes a whole whirlwind of new makeup tips from the comfort of our own homes – or vanity tables! – can take advantage of.
Are you ready to learn exactly how to transform your look? Read on for 5 things we’ve learned from Netflix’s Glow Up.
How to master makeup symmetry
The human eye positively adores symmetry, which is why your makeup looks so much better when it’s even on both sides! Glow Up has taught us that – to make your makeup perfectly symmetrical – start by applying a product on the side of your face that you’re not so confident about.
For example, if you’re right-handed, get working on the left side of your face first! You’ll find it easy to match the symmetry on the other side of your face.
How to cut your crease with ease
The competitors on Glow Up all love a cut crease, and so do we. Unfortunately, our eyelids don’t always co-operate with our makeup aspirations, and it can be harder to cut a sharp crease than you might think.
But, not to worry, the talented Glow Up contestants suggest doing this: outline where you’d like your crease to be with a dark powder – this can be as messy as you’d like! – then use a lighter powder to colour in the eyelid beneath your desired crease. Take an eyeshadow between these two contrasting shades, and use it to blend the top of the crease out.
Before you know it, you’ve achieved the perfect cut crease.
How to lift your lashes with falsies
There’s one thing that all Netflix Glow Up contestants agree on: false lashes should lift and enhance the eye, not make it droopy or drab.
