JUST WING IT To achieve spring’s exaggerated cat eye, makeup artist Susana Hong (who created the looks on these pages) suggests tracing your lash line with a stiff eyeliner brush dipped in a cream-based formula.

FRINGE BENEFITS Trim the lash strip to fit. Line your eyes, top and bottom, with black eyeliner. Apply lash glue, letting it dry for a few minutes before placing it at the root of your lashes with tweezers. To amplify the look, layer on single lashes to the outer corners.Arkan Zakharov

SWEET CHEEKS Get a flattering flush with a peachy-pink blush, the shade of choice at Ralph Lauren and Preen this season. Using a fluffy blush brush, apply the powder directly to the apples of your cheeks, then swirl the brush in a circular motion upward and outward toward your hairline.Arkan Zakharov
