Amy used the left side of her face to show her followers what not to do, and the right side as an example of the anti-aging makeup tips.

She added: "[The left] line is a lot more thick, [the right] line is more thin and closer to my lash line."
The makeup expert also detailed exactly how to use under eyeliner in your look.
"[On my left eye], I used liquid liner. It’s too thick, it’s heavy, not close enough to my lash line," Amy said.
She continued: "[On my right eye], I use liquid eyeliner but I put it on a brush so it’s a lot closer to my lash line and applies a lot lighter."

The beauty pro then moved on to contouring, which can not only take years but weight off the look of your face.
"Contour [on left cheek], this is applied a little too low for me. [On the right], I actually applied it above the cheekbone," she told viewers.
Amy explained: "Clean it up underneath for more of a lift, this is especially important for full faces."
"My face is fuller. Without a little contour, my cheekbones easily disappear," she added.
The Instagrammer also advised her followers to opt for lighter shades on their eyelids and curled eyelashes.
Instagram users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the makeup tips.

Another user said: "This was really helpful in actually explaining how and WHY it makes the difference. The round faces part makes it especially clear, because I would’ve ended up doing the left side due to my lack of knowledge of contouring."
