According to GM, doing this first can make all the difference to your brows’ overall finish. “Combing through brows before starting to fill them in will help guide you in both what needs filling in and not ending up with a chunky brow,” she says. 

Makeup artist Stephanie G-M praises this formula for its creamy texture, noting "it builds well while leaving skin looking natural and dewy, and not cakey." Its ingredient list hinges on clean ingredients, including organic cold centrifuged coconut oil and a blend of oils and herbs to soften and hydrate skin. The finish is radiant, but not so heavy that it won't work for those with combination or oily skin.

Since this mascara loads up primer and mascara in one formula, you can say sayonara to falsies once and for all. Makeup artist Stephanie G-M loves this formula for its ingredients list, which she says “doesn’t have anything questionable in it.” She also loves that it provides a natural look without having to load up on primer, “so it’s versatile for day and night looks.” On top of all that, it holds up well overtime for being a clean mascara.

3. Don't Upstage the Bride

When doing wedding guest makeup, you want to make sure not to over-do it because you never want to appear like you're trying to upstage the bride in any way. Celebrity makeup artist, Stephanie G-M gave us a tip on this matter and said, "I suggest going for a look that elevates what your day look may already be. Starting with either a bit of color on your lips as a stain or eyes with statement jewelry (like above) means you'll be looking elegant but not out shining the bride's look."

She added, "Dewy skin and a little more blush than usual will also brighten up the look you go for. I would suggest just balancing it and not doing a full eye look and full lip look for the wedding." Duly noted!
