How to Apply Makeup - Best Tips and Tricks

Helpful Tips and Tricks

• 
  Sheer out your foundation by using tinted moisturizer. Mix foundation or concealer with a tinted moisturizer or regular lotion. This creates a more natural look. You can also add in loose pigments. If you have lighter skin, use something with pink shimmer. For those with darker skin, use something with a bronze shimmer to create a dewey look. Apply with hands or brush. 
  
  
• 
  Contour face with a powder that is a little darker than your skin tone. If you have more of a red-tone, use a powder with yellow hue. To make your face appear narrower, use a brush starting where you want the deepest contour and then blend powder into your skin.
  
  
   
• 
  To quickly apply eyeliner, use a kohl eyeliner. Put it on your water line, smudge around eye with shadow and mascara. 

• 
  To remove excess makeup when you're out and about, use under eye cream to dab off makeup.

• 
  To achieve fuller lips, start with lip primer. Apply on and around your lips. Use a lip liner that matches your lip tone so that you can slightly overdraw your lips while maintaining a natural look. Start on one corner and move to the middle. Lighter shades make your lips look fuller. 

• 
  For lashes, start with lash primer to condition your lashes. After you place the primer on (one to two coats), apply mascara. For more volume, wiggle mascara back and forth along lashes. For more length, start at roots and go all the way to the tips.
