Love Your Lips

Sure, you're hiding your mouth behind a face mask most of the time—but when you have a chance to show off your smile, make it the star of the show. Apply your most eye-catching matte, satin, glossy or liquid lippy, then snap a selfie to prove you actually painted your pout.

Show Off Your Skin

Ya know that satisfying feeling of earning a sticker on your homework? This look is kind of like that—minus the book report. Earn extra credit by placing a few standout acne patches around your cheeks and temples—then keep the rest of your makeup minimal (or nonexistent).

Get Cheeky

Give your look that sun-kissed glow without the damaging UV rays. A major pop of color on the apples of your cheeks makes skin look refreshed while enhancing your pout. Win-win!
