Makeup application is a tough skill to learn. Sure, we can all slap on some foundation and a brush of blush or lipstick, but some people take it to the next level.
Maybe it’s because we can’t put on eyeliner to save our lives, but we were WAY impressed by these makeup transformations.
This takes talent – and these women are looking great!
1. Yowza!
We wish we had those skills.
2. We’ll call this one “every day glam”
This girl’s eyebrows are on fleek! All the subtle highlighting and foundation to even her skin tone has really worked some magic. But the most notable change is those stunning brows. They’re still naturally shaped but refined and filled out. There’s also a neutral but chic matte lip color, and brown shading around the eyes. A glamorous transformation!
3. She really made her eyes pop!
She already has strong features, so she has a leg up. But by creating such a focus around her eyes she’s really made them stand out. That bold blue eye shadow? Fierce! It compliments her skin tone and coloring so nicely, too.
4. A little goes a long way
Make-up doesn’t have to be bold to be beautiful. This woman kept the majority of her face painted naturally but featured her eyes with dramatic winged liner. And those eyebrows are stunning too! This look works when dressed up, or down.
5. Glowing skin
We’ve all dealt with frustrating acne in our lives. But this girl is amazing with a make-up brush, and used a little foundation and blush to even out her skin tone. Not only did it cover up any spots, but it made her eyes pop. She finished it with a red lip and looked ready for the red carpet.
6. The added color works wonders
She chose the perfect colors to complement her natural shading. That warm red lip color and dramatic winged liner is perfectly balanced with the subtle brown eye shadow.
7. Mom got a makeover!
This mom agreed to a makeover, and it definitely paid off! Their kid certainly knows a thing or two about makeup. They highlighted all her best natural coloring with dark eyes and a bold lip. It’s easy when you get to start with a beautiful canvas, but she definitely crushed it.
8. She calls this “spring flush”
The work here looks subtle, but at second glance, there was actually a lot of work put into this. Her skin tone is evened out, eyebrows defined, and there’s just a touch of pink on her eyes, cheeks, and lips. Truly a perfect spring style. She has some serious skills!
9. These tips helped her refine her daily look
Before Reddit came to the rescue, she was rocking a dramatic look with a lot of makeup. But she took some advice and decided to try and tone it down. Now her daily looks more natural and subtle. But even her original makeup look was nice for a night out!
10. This one is eye-catching!
Natural makeup can go such a long way to highlighting a person’s best features. By filling in her gorgeous brows (seriously, I’m jealous), and adding some subtle winged eyeliner and a neutral lip, she’s just enhancing what she’s already got. The result is just a slightly more refined, natural look.
11. Highlight the positives
Just look at that smoky eye! Great work.
12. This is a complete transformation
This is a testament to what a little makeup can do. She evened out her skin, amplified her eyes, and shaped those brows beautifully. That neutral nude pulls the whole look together!
13. Those eyes really pop!
She did a great job of highlighting and dramatizing her best natural features. She’s a prime example of how to mute your lip tone in order to draw more attention to her stunning eye makeup.
14. This stunning wedding make up
There’s no better day than your wedding day to use makeup to accentuate your best features. This woman did an amazing job of brightening her face and drawing attention to her beautiful eyes. But she didn’t totally transform her face – she still looks like herself, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day.
15. Brown shades are best for a natural look
This woman used soft browns and subtle pinks to emphasize her features. Wearing harsh black makeup can be beautiful, but a lighter brown tone makes for a more natural look.
16. Perfecting that blue halo isn’t easy!
Intense makeup colors can be hard to master! Too much looks tacky, too little is confusing and can get lost easily. She used this sultry electric blue for an intense look.
17. What can’t you learn on Reddit?
This lady followed a how-to guide she found on Reddit, and look where it got her! She loved the outcome and is showing off how well it worked. Her subtle look still brightens her eyes and lips and adds just the right amount of color to her cheekbones.
18. She looks stunning!
It might look like a lot of work, but she says this is her daily look! So it must be easier than it seems… or she’s just that good. The winged effect accentuates her eyes and the red lipstick pops. She manages to use a touch of intense color without going overboard.
19. Another beautiful bride
Take notes – this is how you achieve beautiful bridal makeup without changing your whole face. You want your photos and memories to be of you, so it’s best to keep things subtle on your wedding day. This look highlights the warm tones in her skin, which is absolutely glowing! She’s chosen just to focus on her eye area so there isn’t too much going on.
20. She worked some magic!
Natural-looking makeup is important to master. But let’s be honest, it’s fun to go all out sometimes! This makeup artist totally transformed her face, from her lips to eyebrows. The dark, sultry deep browns and matte lip work so well together!
21. A mommy make over
We love a good mom makeover! They don’t always need it, but it’s so fun to see how their kids want to share their makeup gift with their parents and give them a little transformation and confidence boost. The hairdo on its own is gorgeous, but the makeup is classy and highlights all her best features.
22. All about that brow
23. That gold eye is striking
She has definitely found the best shades for her natural coloring. That striking gold eye and the dark lip color are the perfect complimentary choices. And that chic headscarf ties the whole look together.
24. From day to night real quick
Her uniquely colored hair already gives her a striking style. But her makeup game is on point too! That dark black eye makeup quickly swaps her look from a soft, casual daytime style, to a sultry evening look.
25. Eyes so bright
Perfect!
26. A stunning party look
Who doesn’t love a little sparkle? It can be easy to go overboard by accident, but this girl nailed it. She’s enhanced all parts of her face, with extra special focus on her eyes and eyebrows. The glittery gold screams to be worn for a holiday party, and those false lashes make her eyes stand out right away.
27. Daring and darling
Thick, well-shaped brows are what we all long for. This girl has nailed it and focused most of her makeup attention on her eyes and eyebrows. The result has completely changed her face.
28. A natural beauty
This makeup pro knows how to accentuate her best features. A little foundation, a nude lip color, eyebrow filler and light eye makeup helped to make her eyes pop! But she still looks like herself, and even if it took a long time… it makes it seem like she woke up like that!
Whether you like your makeup to look “natural” or enjoy playing around a big, there are so many ways to highlight and transform your features.
These women have totally nailed it!
