Ladies – share your best makeup tips&tricks?
I’ve started getting into make up,
and I’m more about quality than quantity now.
I used to cake it on to hide instead of using makeup to enhance.
please give me some tips to make it look great!!!
Foundation, mascara, whatever.
Thanks heaps!!

when i want to intensify the color of my eyeshadow, i just moisten the applicator a bit then use it to apply. it’s a really awesome way to revive old colors you thought were pretty flat.

to make my lips a bit fuller, and a bit pinker, i wet a toothbrush and scrub my lips with it for a while. when im done, they are fuller and enhanced in color!

–I hate lipgloss with collagen in it more than anything on this plant. So when I want fuller looks lips, I apply my favorite lip gloss in downward motions and it gives the illusion of fuller lips without that annoying tingling of collagen. >_<
–When I want bigger looking eyes, I apply one coat of mascara (right now I’m currently using L’Oreal Extra Collagen but as soon as it runs out I’m going back to CoverGirl lashblast lux.) to my lashes and on the second coat, I add it only to my outer eyelashes.
–For long lasting eye liner I use a nice waterproof eyeliner pencil (Almay intense i-color. ^_^) and apply it to my water line and upper eye lid. To prevent smearing, I apply a coat of clear mascara to my bottom lashes and sweep a translucent setting powder under my eyes. Also, lighting the tip of the liner for no longer than two seconds (any longer will melt it completely and ruin it) and apply it after its cooled. It makes it go on darker and stay on longer as well.
–When I tear my nail, I snip off a small section of a tea bag and apply a clear nail polish over it to seal it up.
–In the morning when you wake up splash your face with cold water for ten seconds and pat the skin dry with a large facial sponge or wash cloth. This opens up the pores and helps your skin absorb moisturizer better.
–Apply moisturizer while your face is still damp to absorb it better.
–For dark circles, I cut up two slices of kiwis and lay them over my eyes. They also help decress puffiness. ^_^
–When I put on my perfume, I spray my neck and dab a bit behind my ears. So when I’m going to meet someone and they go in for a hug, they smell my perfume right away.
–When I have tired looking eyes, I grab a white eyeliner pencil and line my waterline with it. This gives the illusion of wide awake looking eyes. You can also achieve this by lining the inner corners of your eyes with a white eye shadow.
–Another way I set my eyeliner is by lining my eyes with a dark eye shadow.
–This will sound weird and gross but I swear by it. (: Nothing fixes my skin better than after I put natural, chilled yogurt on my face for 15-30 minutes.
–Also I use whats called an egg mask. What to do with that is you crack an egg carefully to separate the whites from the yolk. Just pour the egg from one part of the shell to the other over a small container until the egg white separates. Use a spoon to whisk the egg white until its frothy and apply onto your skin. You’ll know it’s time to rinse when you can’t smile. Then do the same thing with the egg yolk.
–And, finally, wearing rosier colored lipstick gives the appearance of instantly whiter teeth.
I hope this all helped.
