Thanks to all of the technology devoted to achieving longer, thicker lashes, you no longer need a prescription for lashes as lush as Vanessa Hudgen’s were at a Sketchers autograph session in Los Angeles. Many over-the-counter brands are now offering safe day or night lash enhancement products that actually work like NeuLash, and Code.ai.

We’ve tried them both, and have seen results over time with our lashes, and brows. When choosing a product, try and look for formulations with natural extracts like aloe and soy that tend to be more gentle, and make sure to follow the directions. If you’re not quite ready to make the lash enhancer plunge, a volume-boosting mascara with conditioning ingredients will work just as well.

To get heavy eyeliner to go along with your long luscious lashes like Vanessa’s, use an eyeliner stencil and extend slightly for a more winged look. Create any thickness you desire by either placing the stencil close to the eyelid or slightly above.

There is nothing more beautiful and youthful than well-moisturized skin with a bit of shimmer on the cheek bones, or directly on cheeks. Anne Hathaway, seen here, is a great example of the end result with the perfect blush-shimmer ratio.

If you’ve been looking for a beauty pick-me-up, a cream or gel blush topped with a hint of shimmer could be just what your cheeks need. To get Anne’s look that she wore at the Friends Without Borders gala in Los Angeles, makeup artist beth bender suggests choosing a subtle shade that matches the natural flush of your cheeks.

Then, with your middle finger, dab blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend up into the hairline. CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush is fabulous, and comes in a number of shades to choose from. It’s easy to blend and stay on for hours. Finish by applying a cream shimmer and tapping along the cheekbones starting at the apple and working your way up. Duwop’s Doubleglow7 is still our favorite for creating this effect.

You can set with a translucent powder, or leave as is depending on your skins own needs.
