Step 1: Just Rub Your Eyes Gently (or not so gently) rub your eyes to smudge out that perfect cat eye. Who needs defined lashes when you can have a beautiful smudge?

And by work, we mean a whole lot of highlighter and a few secret tricks up your sleeve. The Glow-Down First things first, what is this elusive "glow" everyone's talking about? Is it a myth? A legend? A clever marketing ploy by the beauty industry? Nope, it's just a fancy term for "not looking tired and stressed on your wedding day". The Secret to a Flawless Face So, how do you achieve this mythical glow? Well, it starts with a solid skincare routine (yawn), followed by a healthy dose of highlighter (now we're talking!), and finished off with a few expertly placed strobe lights (just kidding, but seriously, who needs natural light when you have strobes?).
