1) Never wash your face with
soap. Soap contains an astrigent
that strips away moisture,
therefore damages your skin
eventually.
2) Always cleanse, tone and
moisturize. Milky cleansers
are best to use (eg. Marcelle
Cleansing milk).
3) Never squeeze pimples,
if you find that you're getting
lots of them, forget about
over the counter products.....they
won't work on you, they only
work on people that get a
zit once in a blue moon. Instead,
get to a dermatologist as
soon as possible and you're
skin will be clear in no time.
Trust me, I used to have severe
acne, I saw a dermatologist,
4 months later my face was
smooth as a baby's butt and
it still is.
4) Apply a yellow-toned concealer
under dark circles and anywhere
you might see imperfections.
Next, apply foundation with
a sponge, blend smoothly and
make sure it matches your
skintone!!! So many girls
now a days look like they're
wearing masks and that's because
they're not choosing the right
color for their skin.
5) Powder your face with a
translucent powder and use
a nice, big, soft, puffy brush
(my favorite brushes are QUO
brand). Powdering will take
shine off of your face and
ease the application of blush.
6) Apply your favorite blush
color (my favorites are pinks
and oranges) on the apples
of your cheeks using a soft
brush so you can blend well.
7) Apply your favorite eyeshadows.....using
2 different colors always
looks prettiest. The base
color is usually the lightest
color and the contour color
is the darkest.
8) Curl your eyelashes if
yours aren't very long. Then
apply mascara. Never apply
mascara before curling your
lashes.....or else you'll
lose some.
9) Line your lips with a lipliner,
then fill your entire lip
area with the same lipliner
as well. Then apply your favorite
color of lipstick. By doing
this your lipstick will surely
last longer.
10) You look beautiful! Always
practice....you'll be an expert
in no time.
And don't forget to always
remove your makeup before
going to bed...it's not good
for your skin if you don't.
It can clog your pores, leading
to pimples and it will age
your skin faster.
