Thin Eyeliner Opens Eyes
Minimal eye makeup backfired for the Community alum in 2013, leaving her peepers looking small and tired and adding decades to her appearance. The simple trick that erased years for Yvette? Black liner along the top and bottom lashes. “The thin line makes eyes appear larger while the dark color pops against the whites for a more wide-awake look,” says makeup artist Christina Flach, who has worked with Hilary Swank and Melissa McCarthy. Her to-do: Grab a fine-tip liquid eyeliner (we like Almay Pen Eyeliner, $6, target.com), for precise application. “Pull the eyebrow upward before applying liner to the top lid — this helps keep the line thin,” says Flach. Then draw a line right above the lash line from inner corner to outer corner. Repeat on the bottom, right below the lash line.
