According to the rules, if you\u2019re feeling a dark smoky eye, stick to a nude lip rather than a bright one. If you\u2019d rather try out your new hot pink lipstick, tone down the rest of your face and leave your eyes looking natural.<\/p> \n\n<p>In reality, drawing attention to just one aspect of your face and leaving the rest neutral can look unfinished. Unless you\u2019ve got a very heavy hand, there\u2019s absolutely no harm in giving both the eyes and the lips some definition, at the same time!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"350\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bold-look-makeup-rules.jpg\" alt=\"Bold look makeup rules\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bold-look-makeup-rules.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bold-look-makeup-rules-277x300.jpg 277w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n \n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Stick_to_%E2%80%9Cwarm%E2%80%9D_or_%E2%80%9Ccool%E2%80%9D_colors_according_to_your_skin_tone\"><\/span>2. Stick to \u201cwarm\u201d or \u201ccool\u201d colors according to your skin tone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>This rule should be honored in some cases, but it\u2019s safe to break in others. When it comes to concealer, foundation, and perhaps blush, paying attention to the undertones in your skin is important for color matching.<\/p> \n\n<p>For eye shadows, eye liners, and lipstick, however, throw this rule out!<\/p> \n \n<p>Especially this season, unconventional colors and bright hues on the eyes and lips are particularly trendy. As long as you\u2019re not scaring Grandma by donning solid pink eyelids and turquoise lips to Sunday brunch, experiment with colors all you want! Just make sure to blend, shade, and color-coordinate to ensure the final look remains stylish and not tacky.<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bold-color-lipstick-makeup-rules.jpg\" alt=\"Bold color lipstick makeup rules\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bold-color-lipstick-makeup-rules.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bold-color-lipstick-makeup-rules-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Avoid_mascara_and_eyeliner_on_the_bottom_eyelid\"><\/span>3. Avoid mascara and eyeliner on the bottom eyelid<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Avoiding eye makeup underneath your eye might be a good rule to follow if you\u2019re not very confident in your abilities. Lining your water line or lash line too thickly with dark liner can make your eyes look small and harsh.<\/p> \n\n<p>A light coat of mascara on the lower lashes and thin liner just below the lash line, however, gives your eyes definition. Make sure to balance the look with mascara and liner on top to get the depth you\u2019re looking for!<\/p> \n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Avoid_blue_eye_shadow_at_all_costs\"><\/span>4. Avoid blue eye shadow at all costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto;\">\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n<p>This rule was especially enforced by beauty gurus following the electric fads of the 80s, and again after every teen\u2019s intense obsession with baby blue lids in the early 2000s. We\u2019ve been told for years that blue is tacky and far too bold.<\/p> \n\n<p>If you blend a beautiful mixture of light and dark blue shades across your lid, along your crease, and underneath your brow, however, you can bring out the blue and grey undertones in your eyes. If you don\u2019t have blue eyes, you\u2019ll create a whimsical contrast instead!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Blue-eyeshadow-makeup-rules.jpg\" alt=\"Blue eyeshadow makeup rules\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Blue-eyeshadow-makeup-rules.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Blue-eyeshadow-makeup-rules-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Only_wear_bronzer_in_the_summer\"><\/span>5. Only wear bronzer in the summer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>If you already have trouble matching bronzers to your skin tone, this rule might be worth following.<\/p>\n \n<p>For the most part, however, a little bit of bronzer in the winter months can give you a healthy glow when it\u2019s done right. Use a big, fluffy brush to get a light even coverage and avoid bronzers with an orange finish. Completely matte bronzers provide a much deeper effect, so beware of those if you\u2019re very fair in the winter. A powder with a touch of shimmer completes the light glow and lets you apply in layers for a healthy look. Beware of too much shimmer though; you\u2019d hate to look orange and shiny.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Highlighter_should_only_be_placed_on_the_top_of_your_cheekbones\"><\/span>6. Highlighter should only be placed on the top of your cheekbones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto;\">\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n<p>Not if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/11\/trend-alert-strobing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new strobing trend<\/a> is anything to go by! Highlighters with a light, rosy shimmer can be used on various parts of the face to brighten up your look and give you a different glow to the one you\u2019ll get from bronzer.<\/p> \n\n<p>If you\u2019re very fair, this is the alternative for you! Lightly blend highlighter along the tops of your cheekbones, but also on the bridge of your nose, the inner corner of your eyes, the cupid\u2019s bow of your top lip, and the tip of your chin. Apply a light dusting anywhere that light would naturally hit your face if you stood next to the window.<\/p> \n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"319\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Highlighting-makeup-rules.jpg\" alt=\"Highlighting makeup rules\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Highlighting-makeup-rules.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Highlighting-makeup-rules-300x296.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Highlighting-makeup-rules-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Just like with shimmered bronzer, be careful not to overdo it with shimmer. You want to look like you\u2019re glowing, not sweating.<\/p> \n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Your_lip_liner_should_always_match_your_lipstick\"><\/span>7. Your lip liner should always match your lipstick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Since the 90s, we\u2019ve been scared into thinking that lip liner even the tiniest shade darker than our lipstick will make us look much more grunge and less glam. If you\u2019re careful and good at blending, however, that\u2019s not true! Slightly darker liner can actually lead to fuller-looking lips.<\/p> \n\n<p>Line your lips with the darker color and- get this- fill them all the way in as well. Dab a slightly lighter lipstick in the center of each lip and blend it outward so it fades into the dark. The ombr\u00e9 effect emphasizes the center of each lip, making them look plump.<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Lip-liner-makeup-rules.jpg\" alt=\"Lip liner makeup rules\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Lip-liner-makeup-rules.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Lip-liner-makeup-rules-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Only_apply_blush_to_the_apples_of_your_cheeks\"><\/span>8. Only apply blush to the apples of your cheeks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get us wrong, putting blush on the apples of your cheeks is a good idea, but blush can do more for your face. Start with the apples and blend in a C-shape, slightly arching sideways and up towards your temples. The rounded part of your C motion should face your jaw line.<\/p> \n\n<p>This technique gives your cheekbones lift. If you don\u2019t feel like contouring that day, define your cheekbones more subtly with blush instead.<\/p> \n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Break_the_rules\"><\/span>Break the rules!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>As long as your makeup rebellion doesn\u2019t put your skin, eyes, or health at risk, who says you have to follow every beauty rule in the book? You should always keep a close eye on what your skin is telling you, but you should also feel free to experiment! Makeup is about self expression, after all. No one truly knows what\u2019s best for your face and features except you, and you\u2019ll learn that best through trying different looks and techniques.<\/p> \n\n<p>What about in your professional career? Ask your clients if they\u2019re willing to take a risk with you. Maybe that brown eyed girl would look striking with a blue lid. Perhaps that prom queen wants a more avant garde look than the rest and will jump at your suggestion of purple lips instead of pink. Using your expertise means teaching clients when to follow and when to break the rules!<\/p>\n\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>What are your favorite beauty rules to break?
