Tips on applying makeup!

Eyes:

Eyeliner:
Connecting the dots - To create a smooth line along the upper lashes, start at the outer corner and draw a series of dashes with an eye pencil, as close to the lashes as possible. Then connect the dots. This works for other types of liner as well. Doesn't have to be for pencil liners only.

Concealer:
Heat: before dabbing concealer on, warm it on the palms of your hands or rubbing the ring fingers together. The heat will thin the texture so the coverage will go ont smoothly.

Gentle:
Use the ring finger to apply eye concealer, by patting it on. Since the ring finger is the weakest of all fingers, it will not tug or pull the skin. Skin around the eye areas are the thinnest and most senstive.

Dotting concealers:
When covering undereye circles, put 3 dots of concealer from the inner corner to the middle of your eyes, then gentle pat, with your ring finger. DO NOT RUB!

Darken shadows:
To deepen the colors of any powder eye shadows, you would dip a small firm brush in water, before shading. Do not try to mix several colors, becuase it will not work and you will just make a mess. It makes the colors more intense and helps the shadow stay longer.

Easy smokey eyes:
For easy smoky eyes, get a chubby kohl pencil, rub it along the upper and lower lashes. Don't worry about making mistakes or not having the colors go on evenly. Then get a firm brush with nothign on it and blend in the colors to make it smooth and even.

Close set eyes:
To make the close-set eyes look farther apart, apply eyeliner only at the outer corners.

Eye openers:
Wide set eyes needs to be brighten with a dot of pale shadow at the inner corners. This makes the eyes look wide open and light reflecting, which makes the eyes look awake.

Greasy lips:
Before applying any color, put some foundation on the lips, then put some translucent powder over it, so the oils would get absorbed. Then apply the shadow colors.

Eyeliner stay put:
To help pencil eyeliners stay in place, trace over it with a short, stiff eyeshadow brush, dipped in powered shadow, in the same shade.

Take off:
The best eye makeup removers are the ones that are made for waterproof makeup. They are the ones the liquids are seperated in te bottles. They work awesome!

Remove:
For hard to get off eye makeup, what you want to do it hold the waterproof makeup remover pad over the lips for about 5 seconds, to let it soak in. The sweep if off. It should come off easily.

Bare Minerals foundation

This is the second time i have tried Bare Minerals foundation and i have now confirmed that i don't like it. I love the fact that it's good for your skin and has a good coverage, but the color sucks. At first i thought i might be an in between colors, that's why it just didn't match but then i tried it again when my color changed because i get tanner during the summer, and it was evern worst. The darker you get with Bare Minerals the more red there is. From a MUA point of view, red foundation is BAD! Yellow base is always the BEST. Can someone request for Bare Minerals to come out with some more colors with a yellow base than a red base. If they can do that, they would sell alot more, since most people are yellow than red. Yellow also helps eliminate the reds on people who turn red often also. So, dear Bare Minerals, can you please make your foundation more yellow. ;0)

Sunscreen SPF

We all know how important it is to use spf daily. However, i know of many people that has never even used it or have even thought or know of using it. PLEASE, if you don't use it, please do so now. It protects you from the bad stuff in the enviroment and of skin cancer. There are many types of spf out there, but for the face try the ones that are less greasy. Try not to use the body spf on your face since it's very greasy. Also, for body spf the FDA says that there is no sunscreen product that is waterproof. However they are water resistant, and work for 40-80 minutes. After that, it must be reapplied.

Whether the weather is sunny or overcast you still have to wear spf. There's always uv in the enviroment. Start using!

$10 per box of false lashes

$10 per box of false lashes. There's 10 sets in each box. There's many different variety of lashes. They come by numbers on the box. Some a more natural looking and some are more dramatic. You've got to try them all out. Each gives you a different look. Whether you are going for the sweet, sexy, or natural look, these lashes will set the look. Once you try them, you can never go without again.

Also, great for makeup artist, since we use alot of them, all the time. It's a great price. Probably the best price you'll find, EVER. Where can you get false lashes for $1 a piece? The cheapest i've found is at Walmart, or Longs and they go for about $3 a piece. Not to mention, if you go to a professional makeup store, or a beauty supply store they'll cost you about $5-$15 each set.

Let me know if you have any questions about them, or where to purchase them.
