BASIC MAKEUP TIPS

  1. Foundation:  Your makeup foundation should always match your skin tone.  One way to test this out is to try a small amount of yellow based foundation and a small amount of pink foundation to see which one stays on longer and stays natural.  Another way to test and see which colors match your skin tone, is to try a cheaper brand.  Stores such as the Dollar Store and drugstores carry cheaper brands that will not break your  pocket, especially when you are just testing products.  For oily skin, you should use an oil free foundation.  If you have dry or normal skin, try using a creamy moisturizing formula.
  2. Covering Up Dark Circles:  When trying to cover dark circles, use a concealer a shade slightly lighter than your foundation.  you need to apply foundation first and then concealer under the eyes and then the inner area.
  3. Eyeshadow:  Before applying, put a little foundation or powder under the eye lid.  I personally use concealer as a base.
  4. Mascara:  Roll brush upwards when you apply mascara.  Let dry before adding a second coat. 
  5. Lips:  Use a lip liner or pencil and that matches your lipstick/lipgloss.  Do not go outside the lines of your lips.
