That's why you'll need the dewy, creamy formula in your foundation, concealer, or blush. It leaves your skin feeling fresh, flawless & hydrated.  Bonus: It's perfect for your no-makeup look cause' it blends so well. 

And, you'll need a liquid lipstick that melts onto your lips with a smooth finish. Get the best in town, NYX's Shine Loud High Shine Lip Color or Maybelline's SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick!

2- If your tissue comes in two layers, peel down to just one & apply gently over your lips. 

3- Dust on some translucent powder over the tissue with a fluffy brush.

4- Peel off & done!

Go for dramatic eyes with a little smokey eyeshadow, double coat of mascara or winged eyeliner. Plus, fix your faux lashes to direct more attention. Like this, you can make up for the hidden half of your face!
