Make-up pro reveals the 'Hotness Trifecta' which makes ladies look attractive in 3 easy steps #GirlTalkZA


A professional make-up whizz has revealed how to look 'significantly' more attractive in just three easy ways.

Getting a good night's rest, eating a balanced diet and exercising can all have a positive effect on your appearance – but sometimes we all need a little extra help with a bit of make-up.

Someone who knows about this is Jennifer Belle, a New York-based beauty expert who specialises in "television, film, fashion, print, and bridal make-up" and often shares her expertise on TikTok.

According to the guru, there is no need to spend hours upping your beauty game – looking put-together and instantly way more "attractive" is as easy as following something she calls the "hotness trifecta".

"Even if this is not your own personal style, give these tips a try when you need to just look hot," Belle said in her video. 

Rockstar effect

One such trick, for instance, will give you the sexy "rock star effect" – and it can be achieved with your favourite eyeliner.

"Take an inky, black eyeliner and line your bottom waterline from corner to corner," the beauty pro instructed, using the Sephora Collection Eye Crayon.

"Now, just take you bronzer and smudge it out all the way underneath your lashes."

Sharing the mini hack, Belle noted that this will work wonders even for those with smaller eyes, giving the irresistable "sultry" look. 

Crescent moon effect

Next time you're doing your make-up before dashing out for the day – or date – make sure to try out the "crescent moon effect".

Belle demonstrated: "You're going to take your bronzer, and shade in the shape of a crescent moon around your face, from your temple to your cheek.

"Now, take a highlighter and highlight the center of the crescent moon from your temple to your cheekbone."

The easy yet effective trick not only gave her skin a gorgeous and healthy sheen, but also a free facelift – a win-win.

The talented guru, who posts under the username @jenniferbellemakeup, achieved this by using the Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight in the shade Enlighten, and completed the makeover with a bronzer from her line in the shade Latte. 

Heart effect

Last but certainly not least was the "heart effect", which is all about achieving the sexiest pout.

"You're just going to take your lip liner and draw the shape of a heart in the center of your lips.

"If you press your lips together, you can see exactly where that heart should be," Belle said.

"This creates a really pretty shape to your lips.

"And that's it, try these tips when you need to be extra." Chatting to Daily Mail, the whizz said: "I made the tutorial hoping to inspire people to try things that may be outside of their comfort zone.

"In particular, the "rockstar effect," so many of my clients are afraid to put anything on their bottom lid because they think it will close their eyes and make them look small.

"I got so many sweet comments and DMs from women who were afraid to try it, saying how much they loved how they looked when they did it."
