There are no hard and fast rules for makeup, but there are some foolproof methods you can use for a flawless face. Here are some of my best makeup tips!
Put your primer or moisturiser on with your foundation brush, your brush absorbs much less product this way and your foundation will last longer.
Use a cool toned concealer e.g. yellow/green toned to conceal blemishes, as the cool tone cancels out the red and a warm toned concealer e.g. pink/peach/salmon under the eyes to eliminate dark circles.
Build up your colour in layers to achieve the depth of colour you want i.e. apply and blend out then apply some more and blend out again. This will help your makeup last longer since it will wear off in layers and not all at once.
When blending an extended eyeshadow shape or creating a cat eye flick with your eyeliner, use the natural extension line of your eye shape as your guide for where the lines should begin and end. This will give your eyes an uplifted appearance.
To make you look more awake and your eye makeup more vibrant, use a light yellow/tan or white eyeliner on your inner waterline and add a light shimmery colour to the very inner corner of your eye to make your eyes bright. Some reccomended products for this are Benefit's Eye Bright Stick or NYX's Jumbo eye pencil in Milk.
Artists brushes make a great substitute for expensive makeup brushes.
To prevent your eyeshadow from creasing or fading, use a matte eyeshadow, or if you have very oily lids, an eyelid primer, to your lids before you put on you eyeshadow.
If you are working with dark eyeshadows, leave your undereye concealer for last so you can clear away any of the dark shadow that falls down without having to reapply your face makeup
