101 1-Minute Makeovers _ part 1

A new look doesn’t always have to mean making a drastic change or spending the day in a colorist’s chair. These easy little tweaks will help you look brighter and renewed in 60 seconds flat.

1. Slick on a shock of hot pink lipstick for an instant wake-up. Nars Sciap ($26, narscosmetics.com) andObsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Anime ($18, occmakeup.com) are two of our favorite brights.

2. Pink feel too Malibu Barbie? A rich red has the same effect. Try CoverGirl LipPerfection Lip Color in Hot($5.99, drugstore.com).

3. Try a colored gloss or lip lacquer in lieu of a cream formula. Shiny, vinyl lips make a major impact.

4. Add a touch of illuminating highlighter — try Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat ($40, yslbeautyus.com) — on the Cupid’s bow of your upper lip to make your lip color pop.

5. “Lining the inner rim of the eye is a great way to add a little bit of what I like to call ‘instant fierceness’!” says makeup artist Mally Roncal. “Just make sure to use an eye liner that is waterproof and safe for the inner rim, likeMally Beauty Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Eyeliner ($15: mallybeauty.com).”

6. Fake high cheekbones: swipe highlighter along the tops of your cheeks. Contour the hollows with matte powder bronzer.

7. Give lift to your eyes by applying a concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone at the outer corners.

8. Give your skin a dewy glow: “I always apply foundation to my skin with my hands, as if it is a moisturizer — it allows me to really press it into my skin without looking streaky or spotty,” says makeup artist Nico Guilis.

9. Add a couple individual false lashes at the corners of your eyes, says Mark makeup artist Jamie Greenberg. “It’s my favorite trick. You can’t see that you have makeup on, but boy does it make those eyes wide.”

10. Want to look more awake? If you have a deeper skin tone, neutralize purplish under eye circles with orange pigment, says makeup artist Katey Denno. “When topped with a concealer the same color as the skin tone, the area will look bright and flawless.” Fairer complexions should choose a peach-toned concealer.

11. For brighter-looking teeth, fast, brush with a toothpaste that has optical blue brighteners, such as Luster NOW! Instant Whitening Toothpaste.

12. Blue-based red lipstick bestows a similar effect on pearly whites.

13. Instant facelift: When penciling in your brows, extend the tail end so it’s higher or at the same level as where the brow begins (never lower, which brings down your features).

14. Highlight your brow bone to lift the entire eye area. Try Benefit High Brow ($20, benefitcosmetics.com). Don’t use white frosty eye shadow — the effect will look too retro.

15. Switch out your black mascara for a plum or turquoise shade on your lower lashes for a subtle color pop.

16. Use an eye shadow brush to coat your eyelashes with translucent face powder, then apply mascara on top. The powder helps to bulk up lashes for instant volume.

17. Wait, you’re not using a lash curler? Try it! A little crimp opens up the eye, even without mascara.

18. The most flattering way to wear colored eye makeup: Apply black liquid liner along the upper lash line, then add a stroke of brightly colored liner just above it.

19. Add subtle sparkle: Dab a brush dipped in glitter shadow on the tips of lashes while they’re still wet with mascara.

20. Channel Twiggy, the modern way, with this trick from Jake Bailey, Emmy Rossum’s makeup artist: “Using a small angled brush and cream eye liner, I painted little lashes in between her real lower lashes to create that false lash effect.”

21. Trade your neutral eye shadow for a pale shimmering pistachio or violet. Pastels are easy to pull off, but add subtle color to your look.

22. Line the inner rims of your eyelids with white or pale peach eye liner to make eyes instantly look brighter and more awake…

23. …Or line the inner rim of your upper lid with black or chocolate brown liner to make lashes look thicker.

24. Swap black eyeliner for navy to bring out blue eyes.

25. Try purple liner to make green or hazel eyes pop.

26. Brown eyes can wear any hue, so go bold with a bright teal or jungle green.

27. Lighten up: Pair inky liner along your top lash line with a pale, metallic rose gold or champagne line along your lower lashes.

28. Sweep a shimmery eye shadow that’s a few shades lighter than your skin over your eyelids to brighten up for daytime.

29. Apply your eye shadow with a wet brush to intensify its shade.

30. Or prep lids with an eye primer to make powder shadow more vibrant and longer-lasting.

31. Or skip shadow altogether and dab a small amount of Vaseline or clear gloss on lids for a sexy sheen.

32. Vaseline works well as a cheekbone highlighter, too — especially with a glowy, summertime look.

33. Try red blush instead of pink. Red might look scary in the compact, but a sheer swipe on skin creates a pretty flush.

34. Mix two blush shades instead of just one, recommends Kimberly Soane, Director of Global Artistry for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. “Layering two blush colors — a natural blush and a pop of blush — helps your blush last longer, because it fades throughout the day,” Soane explains. “That’s what gives it that brightness without being too clownlike.”

35. Another tip from Soane: To prevent shiny skin, apply powder with a puff instead of a brush. “That way you are putting on powder and absorbing any excess oil, versus a powder brush which will just dust on powder.”

36. Or mix blush with bronzer to chisel sexy cheekbones. Apply bronzer in the hollows of the cheeks and bright blush on the apples.

37. Switch powder blush for a cream formula to give skin a lit-from-within glow.

38. Mix a few drops of liquid illuminator with your foundation or BB cream to give your complexion a pretty sheen.

39. Speaking of BB cream, try applying it with a brush instead of your fingers for a lighter, more blended effect.

40. Tap a small amount of glitter pigment on the center of your eyelid after applying your shadow for a pretty sparkle that will catch the light.

41. To make your eyes look larger and wider, apply a pale colored eye shadow on the inside corner of the eye and a dark shadow on the outer corner.

42. To downplay lines around the mouth and nose, stroke a highlighter pen along the nasolabial (or “marionette”) lines and blend.

43. For a bold nighttime look, use a brow powder that’s a shade darker than you typically wear. Strong brows are in!

44. After you finish your makeup, mist your face with a mineral water spray to help powders blend with skin and last longer.

45. Try a purple-tinted primer to counteract a sallow complexion.

46. A primer with a green tint will help tone down redness. Try NP Set Calming Foundation Primer ($29,target.com).

47. Dust light-reflecting mineral powder over your skin to create the optical illusion of smoother texture.

48. Line your lips after you apply your lipstick for a crisp, clean shape.

49. Or use the reverse liner technique: Use a brush to apply concealer around the outer line of your lipstick to clean up the shape.
