Makeup Tips

5 tips for the best results when wearing makeup...

1.    If you have shiny, oily skin put a light powder on shiny patches before you put your foundation on. What? I thought it was weird the first time I read it but I thought I'd have a go anyway ... It worked so well do you know when you put powder over foundation you get such a powdery look - this completely eliminates that. Only problem if you apply to much then you powder mixes with foundation and goes a bit strange: so be careful.

2.    Do your mascara before you do your face makeup. Sounds quite obvious however I thought I would mention it again as its super important. When you do your mascara often it goes around you eye on the lid and below so, you have to take it off your skin. This takes off your makeup as well so, do your face makeup after mascara.

3.    Always throw out expired makeup. Make sure you are aware of when your makeup expires - each product is different. your makeup will go gloppy and horrible and will not look good and mascara you have to be careful with bacteria.

• Mascara 4 months
• Blusher 18 months
• Nail varnish 2 years
• Powder 18 months
• Foundation 8 months 
• Eyeliner 1 year

4.     Clean brushes every couple of months and sponges every week. Brushes and sponges collect the bacteria and oils off your face which can cause breakouts also your makeup will go on better with clean applicators.

5.     Always clean your face before applying makeup. Washing your face gets rid of dirt so your makeup will go on better. Wash your face with your normal cleanser, then splash your face with cold water to close your pores. By "closing" your pores it prevent makeup getting into your pores which can cause some skin problems.
