Makeup Tips
from the Pros...
1
Wash your face. Using a clenser gets rid of dead skin, blackheads, oil, and dirt. Make sure you don’t clean your face with aggressive cleaners or soaps. Use a cleanser that is complementary for your skin, for advice go to your dermatologist or ask for advice in a store where they sell beauty supplies.
2
Apply a moisturizer. Pick a moisturizer that fits with your skin type: -Dry/sensitive skin: choose a thicker cream that locks moisture in. -Normal skin: choose cream moisturizers that are hydrating. -Oily/young skin: choose a water based lotion.
Use a good primer, any brand will do. Add a foundation primer. Foundation primers are used to set make up (foundation) so that it lasts longer.You can find several in drug stores or specialized beauty stores.
3
Moisturize your lips by applying chapstick. Use a lip primer to fill up any creases and apply a lip liner, followed by applying a lipstick in the same color as the lip liner and finish with a gloss if necessarily.

Apply eye makeup. To make your eyeshadow last, apply an eye shadow primer first. For natural eye looks choose a natural color. Curl your lashes. Curl your eyes for about 15 seconds on each side. Apply a waterproof mascara. Wait for each coat to dry before applying another to avoid clumps.
Buy a good concealer. Search for a concealer close to your skin tone, making sure you don’t choose one that is too dark or too light. Conceal any dark circles under your eye by applying the concealer in a triangle shape. Blend the outer corners of the triangle with your fingers. Don’t forget to conceal the inner corners of your eyes as they are generally darker than the rest of your eyes.

Apply a bronzer and/or blush. Choose a bronzer that isn’t too dark for your skin color otherwise you will end up looking like a clown. Use an angled, hard brush or a stippling brush to apply the bronzer, work in a cross on your face (forehead, nose and cheeks). To make your face look slimmer apply the bronzer right under the apples on your cheeks, to find the apples smile and apply the bronzer in the hollow of your cheeks.

When you know how to do things yourself, you understand the intricate details of what makes a high-priced product or service costly. Once you have this understanding, then you have the knowledge to choose what is important to you, saving money while getting something that will truly serve your needs.

“Standing there at the stage door to the rest of your life. Time to dip your toe into the deep end. Try things. Say hi already. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Mess up again. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it. Hold your friends close. Gather your strength. Gain wisdom and beautiful stories. Be brave, and you’ll have the time of your life.”
