Use Concealer As Eyeshadow

According to Mario Dedivanovic, aka Makeup By Mario, using a concealer as eyeshadow is a great way to get a natural, long-lasting look. The deeper shades are rich in red pigment, according to the makeup artist. The final look is absolutely stunning, and you'd never tell that it wasn't intended for a shadow.

Apply Highlighter Over Setting Spray

According to model and Insta-star Chantel Jeffries, the easiest way to get super strong, metallic highlight is to apply your setting spray before your highlighter. The tip might sound simple, but the results don't lie.
