- Be careful with shimmery products, especially on your eyes; they tend to collect in creases.
- If you have large and open eyes, don’t use loud or bright colors that will over emphasize the fullness. You want them to be soft and keep a person’s attention.
- On deep-set eyes, you should use shadow colors that are on the light side of the color spectrum. Light brings out.
- For a light or sheer look, dampen sponge before applying foundation.
- Don’t test foundation or concealer color on your hand. Match it to the skin on your face and neck.
- Make sure you shake your foundation vigorously before applying.
- If you have sallow skin, pick a foundation that disappears on your face. To counteract your skin tone choose a pink or rosy blush.
- If your mascara thickens when it reaches the end of the tube, place tube in warm water. That will help make the mascara thinner.
- Don’t pump your mascara wand into the mascara container. This pushes air in the container and makes the mascara dry out faster. Gently insert the wand, turn two or three times, then remove and apply to lashes
- Always use less mascara on your lower lashes.
- For clumpy eyelashes, use a lash comb to remove clumps.
- If you have problems under the eye such as dark circles, bags, uneven skin tones, wrinkled skin, etc….these problems will become more obvious if you apply mascara to the bottom lashes.
- Even if you do not use foundation or concealer a powder will give the skin a matte finished appearance.
- Powder makes things stay in place whether it be cream based products that move around or foundations, pencils or concealers.
- Makeup lasts longer with powder application
- Powder stops shine. Don’t over powder, it is healthy to have some sheen.
- Before applying powder make sure there are no lines or creases. Once you powder, it will stay put.
- If your face is very moist, blot first gently with a tissue, otherwise the powder will clump.
- Put a light layer of powder under the eyes before applying eyeshadow. If color falls when applying color, it can be gently whisked away after you have finished your application.
- Too much color? Dust on a layer of loose powder or pressed powder to take off the edge.
- Don’t worry about matching your lip color to your blush, just keep it in the same color family.
- The thinner your lips, the more neutral your lip color should be.
- Mixing colors is the best way to vary your lipstick shades.
- Avoid true red shades if your face is blotchy, irritated or ruddy. - Your lips will draw attention to your skin.
- A great way to organize your lipsticks or use up the end of your lipstick is to dig out or cut off a chunk of lip color and place it in a lipstick palette case.
- Pale shades of lipstick make lips look fuller.
- To enhance a pout, dab a silver lip-gloss onto the center of your lower lip.
- If lip liner is too dark tone it down with a small amount of foundation then reapply lip liner.
- Vitamin E oil gives your lips a topcoat plus seals in color. This also creates instant shine and helps to protect sensitive areas.
- To prevent lipstick from getting on your teeth, put your finger in your mouth and close your lips-when you withdraw your finger it will remove excess color.
- When tweezing your eyebrows first apply Ambesol to numb the area.
- Invest in a good tweezer, we recommend Tweezerman.
- If you are thinking of lightening your brows, try a colored mascara first to see what they would look like.
- If you want your eyebrows to stay in place, put a clear mascara on them or a little hairspray on an eyebrow groomer and brush to desired shape.
- Women insist on using the lightest concealer. In reality all you need is one or two shades lighter then your skin.
- Concealer doesn’t have to be worn with any makeup or powder.
- Sometimes all you need is a little concealer and something on your lips. Make sure your concealer is the same shade as your skin.
- Concealer should be applied as sparingly as possible. You don’t want it to be cakey or thick.

+ to help decrease the amount of eye shadow you may get on your cheek.
a) put some loose power under your eyes. than after you're done applying your make up sweept it away gently with a blush brush.
b) put a bit on concealer under your eye than put a piece of wax paper on top of the concealer. so it sticks. do your make up, take off the wax paper, than blend in the concealer.

+ to make a great eye shadow into a great lip gloss. just scrap off a bit of eyeshadow onto a piece of wax paper, or a mirror, then take a glop of vasline and mix the two together. then you have a new shade of lip gloss.

- Use Vaseline as eye makeup remover
- use baby wipes to remove make up

- scupt sexy cheekbones: suck in your cheeks to create a hollow, then fill in the area with a light bronzer. next, dust shimmer powder on the tops of your cheeks. the light dark shadowing will make your cheekbones pop.

- Dip your make up brush in a tiny bit of water and then use a dark color, it works as a liquid eyeliner with not as hard lines.

- Before you put on eyeliner, apply an eyeshadow color that is very close to your skintone onto where you normally put on eyeliner. (ex: if you put eyeliner on your bottom lashline, then apply your eyeshadow there). the shadow will absorb the oil so the eyeliner will last longer and won't wear off.

- to get your eyebrows to stay in place or to help create shape by moving them around a bit.
take a clear mascara, put a little bit on your brows, then take a eyebrow brush/comb.. and comb them into place

- if you wake up with red rimmed eyes after a night out, rim the lash lines with a khaki colored pencil. the muted shade neauturalizes the redness

- fix botched brows: if your brows are looking uneven or too thin. recreate thier ideal shape with brow powder. lightly brush on little, upward, hairlike strokes until you are statisfied. taupe works in most cases. the idea is not to go too dark. (try lancome brow expert design kit)

-conceal acne marks: downplay acne scars by spot applying primer into the little hallows. primers usually have a silcone base, which makes them thick and enough to help fill in spaces. (try MAC prep and prime skin) use a sponge. following the same tecnique, pat fondation over the primser then finish with an allover layer of translucent powder to set the makeup

- de-puff under eye bags: first treat with a cool compress (even a washcloth dipped in cold water) for 10 mins. a tiny bit of preperation h also works. *pros swear by it* then apply concerler on the area just beneath the bags. this trick erases puff-enhancing shadows.

-use an eyeshadow quad correctly!!
a. use the deepest hue to define the lash line.
b. highlight the brow bones with the lightest shade
c. sweep the second palest color all over the lid
d. define the creas with the medium tone

- When trying new make up techniques, do your eyes first. that way you wont have to wash your entire face if you make a mistake, or dont like it.

-Small eyes supersize your eyes with bright sglimmery shadows. dark colors can minize them. if you use liner, just do the top lid. an eye enlarging trick - sweep mascara on your upper lashes and only the centre of the lower lashes

-hooded eyes flat lids... with no obvious crease. create the illusion of a gigantic gaze by simulation a crease's depth. dust a light shadow all over, then swipe a deeper hue about a quater an on inch above your lash line.

- place a teaspoon behind your lashes before applying mascara.

- Use a transluscent powder after applying moisturizer, it`ll help your make up stay in place.

- Narrow your nose: if you want to slim your nose, smooth a highlighter down the length of it, then dab a concerler in a shade slightly darker than your skin tone along eithe side of the light stripe. highlighting the bone of your nose draws the eye there so the sides are less obvious. just be sure to blend well. (estee lauder prime fx face definer)

- cover up a pimple: to hide a monsterour zit. start by freezing a cotton swap thats been soaked in eye whitining drops. after the swap is cold and hard, lay it on the pimple for 10mins, the coldness should take down the swelling while the solution reduces the redness. then dot on a salicylic acid spiked concerler. (try benefit galactic shield)

- revive a pale complexion:tap a fluffy brush in rosy blush then in loose powder. flick the excess product off the tip and swiel the bristles as lightly as possible over your cheeks, forehead, and nose. this will make it appear as if your blood is actually pumping

- when choosing a concealer, go one shade brighter than your skin tone

- after styling your hair, run an ant cling clothes dryer sheet along the length of your locks to help smooth out static strands.

- dont brush your hair throughout the day, a wide tooth comb will rough up tresses less.

- to sop up the grease in your hair.. sprinkle some translucent face powder in your brush, then run it through the slick sections

- restyle using the cool shot button on the blow dryer. heat will only rough up the hair even more

- use neosporin to shave pubic hair, it reduces the shaving bumps.

-if you got hair dye on your clothes, spray some hairspray on the dye, let it sit for a few mins then throw it in the wash. keep doing this until it's fully out.

- if you have A LOT, and i mean A LOT of hair spray in your hair, wash your hair with dish soap.. then use your regular shampoo

- When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color
twist tie.
They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red, Friday = White, and Saturday = Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by
color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the groc ery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones
with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn
something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.
