Just some great tricks I came across from
different makeup artists.
.:End Eye Shadow Creases:.
Apply translucent powder under a powder
shadow or over a cream-based one to keep
lids smooth. It helps set the shadow so the
color will last longer without collecting in
the middle of your eyelid.
.:Quick Radiance Trick:.
Before applying foundation, apply a shimmering
moisturizer. Your skin will look luminous even
through the makeup. so you'll get the coverage
you need without sacrificing a glowing complexion.
.:Banish Under-Eye Circles:.
To conceal dark under-eye circles, look at
them closely to see what color they are to
choose the cover-up that'll hide them best.
If they have a gray cast, apply a soft pink eye
shadow to the area, and if they look more blue,
use a light peach color instead.
.:Get Perfectly Lined Eyes:.
Putting eye liner in the freezer for about 5-10
minutes before sharpening it gets you a
precise line. The cold hardens eye liner and
keeps it from breaking as you apply it.

How To Apply A Makeup Makeover 2
You'll notice the results even if you
don't care about the technology behind all
that scientific-sounding stuff in your beauty
products.
Swap out-of-date makeup for new products.
Save time and money with new twists on
the basic products you use everyday.
Foundation: Toss heavy foundation with
a matte finish.
Replace with a light weight formaula with
light reflectors.
WHY: It will make you look younger because
it won't settle in lines. It's also less likely
to streak, but still gives enough coverage
to hide a blemish or sunspot.
Mascara: Toss thick mascara that leaves
clumps.
Replace with formulas that lengthen lashes.
WHY: Special Proteins help separate lashes,
so you won't need to comb out clumps or
worry about smudges. Only one coat is
needed to make lashes look longer.
Blush: Toss regular powder blush.
Replace with blush sheets.
WHY: No mirror or brush required, and the
packets slips right into your purse.
Lipstick: Toss separate lip balm and lipstick.
Replace with a tinted treatment stick.
WHY: You won't have to fumble through
your purse or makeup bag for two products.
It saves time and costs less.
Eye Shadow: Toss single-shade powder
eye shadows.
Replace with cream-shadow trio.
WHY: You'll have all the colors you need
in one convenient compact and it won't
crumble.
Until next time on.....

How To Apply A Makeup MAKEOVER!
Hi Ladies,
We all want to know how to
apply makeup, but have we ever thought
about when to toss makeup? The thing is,
even though most beauty products don't
have an expiration date, they DO go bad.
"So when do I toss them?" you ask.
I got you covered ladies, I found out...
Mascara: Toss it after 3-6 months
It's really important to change mascara
often. Air can push bacteria in the tube
and cause an eye infection.
Eyeliner: Toss it after 6 months
Even if you sharpen your eyeliner every
week to keep it fresh , bacteria can still
grow around the tip. You'll know it's
there when the pencil starts to crumble
as you are sharpening it.
Foundation: Toss it after 6 months
Water-based formulas last a few weeks
longer than oil-based ones.
Eye Shadow: Toss it after 9-12 months
Old shadows get chalky and hard to apply.
Blush: Toss it after 1-2 years
If your blush breaks, throw it out right away.
Do Not salvage the chunks they'll be hard
to blend and will look caked on.
Lip Sticks: Toss it after 2 years
Replace lipsticks earlier if you notice oil
beads on the side or the color looks different
when you apply it.
Happy Makeup Makeover!

How To Apply Makeup:
Your Perfect Match
Are you finding it hard to find the ideal makeup
shades for your skin tone? Well stop looking your
search is over. We gathered flattering, foolproof
makeup palettes for a range of skin colors with
the advice of experts!
IVORY SKIN
Color Cues
Eyes: You should use icy pastels. Dark eye
eye shadow can overwhelm pale complexions.
Cheeks: Tone down with a muted pink blush.
Lips: To prevent porcelain complexions
from looking washed out, you should use
Rosy pinks.
BEIGE SKIN
Color Cues
Eyes: Chocolate and navy add definition, but
avoid taupes. Taupes are too natural and
they tend to disappear into your skin.
Cheeks: So that you don't look too pasty,
warm your face up with a peachy blush.
Lips: You can have an overall healthy glow
by using yellow-based lip colors, like
melon and coral, these complement peachy
cheeks.
OLIVE SKIN
Color Cues
Eyes: Bring out warm, golden tones in your
skin with bronze and copper shadows.
Cheeks: You can counteract the yellow that
olive skin has in it with a bubble gum-pink
blush.
Lips: Try cool tones, like pale or raspberry
pink for a dramatic look. Hints of gold add
liveliness to an olive face.
BROWN SKIN
Color Cues
Eyes: Enhance eyes with rich blues and
plums and coppery metallics.
Cheeks: Choose a red or orange blush.
Intense colors show up better.
Lips: Matte lipstick looks painted on.
Deep lips look fabulous in just about any
shade, as long as its sheer or has a subtle,
golden shimmer.
