The best response? A big, fat nope. You can pile it on all day long, and with good quality long-wear makeup, they won’t even be able to tell. The perfect base hugs your made-up skin to make it look exactly what it’s meant to look like: skin. Chanel’s Le Teint Ultra Ultrawear Flawless Foundation Luminous Matte Finish SPF 15 doesn’t change from fresh application to right before you wipe it all off. Plus, it transfers very minimally and doesn’t melt under hot light—and we’re assuming under the sun, too, which is a big deal because of our climate!

Have you ever applied your eyeliner on one eye so perfectly that you don’t even want to attempt the other eye? Not everybody is liner-dextrous, and more often than not, the attempt at the other wingtip ends up in a disaster. Well, we’ve been there, and we know you still need to draw on the other lid—who walks out with one eye done anyway? Skip one possible smudge factor in this whole process by ditching the kohl liner. Go with a liquid liner pen instead, like Revlon’s ColorStay Liquid Liner Pen.

Real talk: How many times have you tried to overline your lips but they decide that it just isn’t gonna happen? We chalk this down to your lips’ natural pout: If the edge of your pucker (the bottom lip, especially) doesn’t lay flush against your skin or simply juts out over the skin, overlining just may not be for you. But you can still cheat your way to plumper lips with totally opaque shades—they won’t show where your lips start or end! Opt for lip color in a handy pencil form, like NARS’ Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl. So much color, so much control.

FYI, this is what happens when a woman has just finished strobing and you touch her face. It’s like Midas’ touch, you know? But in reverse. Cop the intense glow by choosing a liquid or cream highlighter versus the powder ones—the consistency mimics your skin’s texture better than its drier counterparts and keeps your skin comfortable longer. Laura Mercier’s Sunset Highlighter Crayon is an easy tool for this task.

There’s a learning curve to wearing false eyelashes, and it’s a steep one. (RIP, crumpled lashes!) But master it and you’ll forget about wearing mascara altogether—say goodbye to smudges and streaks. Just one thing, though: Quality is key when it comes to falsies and making them look, feel, and behave realistically. You don’t want the edges curling away, or worse, making your eyes droopy—not what you’re aiming for at all. Go for a feather-light pair, like BYS’ False Eyelashes.

Concealer just not cutting it for undereyes that are as dark as a brewing storm? Divert attention from the undereyes and to your upper lids with some serious shimmer and glitter. While we wouldn’t recommend this look for casual, everyday wear (glitter chunks and real life don’t make for a good combo), we do recommend glitzing it up from time to time with a creamy shimmer, like Stila’s Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in Cloud. It hugs the creases of your lids and reflects light well so your eyes look brighter and less tired.
