Sometimes it’s fun to change up your look, adding some elegance or a bit of dramatic flair. While a great outfit can make that happen, sometimes that’s just not in the budget, or you can’t quite find the right thing. One way that’s easy, fun, and quite cost-effective is mixing up your makeup application. From adding depth and contour with a highlighter or creating a dramatic look with a new eyeshadow palette, the options are seemingly endless. One way I really like to kick my look up a notch (without going too far outside my comfort zone) is by playing with my eyeliner. In the past, I always used a basic pencil eyeliner, which was fine but worked more as a utility application for me than anything. I recently received a felt tip eyeliner with a monthly subscription bag, and it was a real eye-opener for me.

I’m no longer just outlining my eyes and accepting a healthy dose of boring; now, I can add a little shape and contour. It’s so easy to elevate my look for a date night or keep it simple for a trip to the store. Either way, my eyes look better than they have in years (thanks also to some killer eye cream), and I have found a renewed sense of confidence. Funny how something as simple as eyeliner can make a huge difference.
