Makeup 101

Hey Beauties!!!

I have been asked many times about some makeup tips, so I want to take the time to give you the Top 10 Makeup Tips, that I think you should know. Hope they are helpful! :-)



1. When you are applying foundation, never forget the neck. Always apply upward, never pulling your skin downward. Using a wet sponge gives you a dewy fresher look. But remember less is more!!

2. When using concealers, use a yellow based concealer, its most natural. Choose a concealer one shade lighter than your natural skin tone.

3. No matter your skin tone-yellow toned powder always looks most natural and radiant. Powder is used to set foundation and control shine on your face.

4. For women of color- using a blush with a bit of gold shimmer looks great! Always wear blush on the apples of your cheeks, and blend it well.

5. When using bronzer, apply on the areas the sun hits naturally-the cheekbones, bridge of nose, and foreheaed. Bronzer can be worn antyime of the year, not just in the summer! It always makes your face glow!!

6.When filling in your eyebrows, always use short feathery strocks, so it will look and blend more naturally. Black eyebrow pencils never look natural, use dark browns.

7. When applying eyeshadow, its best to use a eye primer on the lid first, then you apply the natural tone shadow on the whole eyelid, following with the darkerst color shadow ONLY in the crease of eye, then you can finish with applying the lightest shadow just under the browbone, to give a nice highlight to your eyes.

8. Before wearing mascara, if your eyelashes a more natually straight, use and eyelash curler, this will lift and fan your eyelashes out, and make your eyes appear bigger. Its also good to get new mascara at least every two months.

9.If you like to wear lipcolors, its best to line your lips with a lipliner, this will help keep your lipcolor in place, and keeps it lasting longer. Lip glosses are great for just a suttle color look, and gives a great shine!

10. For longer makeup hold, spray water through a tissue, this will help set the foundation.

Makeup is used to INHANCE your natural beauty, so wear it right and you will look natually beautiful!!! :-)
