How to use those handy cosmetic tools you were born with!

Use your pointer finger to …

• Slick on lip gloss – from a pot or a stick – for a nice and precise application.
• Smudge thick eyeliner for a sexy, smoky-eyed effect.

Use your middle finger to …

• Get a smooth wash of eyeshadow (cream or powder) on your lids.
• Spread (and blend!) foundation around your jawline and neck.

Use your ring finger to …

• Dot concealer on a pimple. (Your ring finger has the lightest touch.)
• Gently hide dark under-eye circles with liquid concealer.

Use your pinky finger to …

• Dab highlighter in the inner corners of your eyes.
• Put a little pearly shadow under the arch of your brow – it’s an instant lift!

And use your thumb to …

• Remove excess lipstick. (Close your mouth around it and pull it through.)
• Give yourself a thumbs-up in the mirror. You look gorge!
