8 Must Know Makeup Secrets …

1. Always try it before you buy it 
If you are out shopping for some foundation or lipstick, try it out first. You can test many of the beauty products out first before you purchase them from a department store. That way you know exactly what you're buying and how it'll look on you! 

2. Do you want your lipstick to match your eyeshadow? 
If you want your lipstick to be the same color as your favorite eyeshadow but can't seem to find the exact color, here's a trick for you. Get out your chapstick or Vaseline and mix the eyeshadow with it, then apply it to your lips. Voila! I always use this technique and trust me, it works. 

3. Girls, Vaseline is your best friend! Vaseline is great, it's cheap and it is the perfect eye makeup remover! It is also great for fixing scaly, chapped lips. Put on the Vaseline and then use the toothbrush to massage the lips. Wipe the extra off with a tissue. Your lips will be soft and smooth. 

4. Hair color While I prefer my natural hair color, there's nothing wrong with experimenting a little. Lighten your look by going a shade lighter. Try somehighlights. They're great for framing your face. Whatever you do, try to stick to colors that compliment your skin tone and if you aren't confident about coloring your hair at home, don't! 

5. Less is better! Have you ever noticed how some of your friends look their best without anymakeup on at all? No matter what your age, putting on too much makeupis always going to make you look worse. If you wear foundation, blush, powder, mascara, liner, lip liner, gloss and eyeshadow every day, then you are overdoing it. Tone it down a notch or two. All you need is mascaraand concealer for blemishes. Lip gloss wouldn't hurt much either. Keep it minimal and let your natural beauty shine through. 

6. Play up your eyes or lips, never both 
If you're trying the smoky eye look, go for nude lipstick or use just a little bit of lip gloss. If you prefer dark lips, then keep the eyeshadow light and wear only mascara on your eyes. Don't put heavy liner on them. If you put both on, then you are going to look like a clown. 

7. Never rub the concealer in. 
Instead of rubbing your concealer in, it would be best if you pat it. When you are applying the concealer, put a bit on your middle finger or on the pad and pat it in. Never rub it. For acne, pat the concealer gently on top of it. 

8. Have acne? Skip the foundation When you have acne, the last thing you need to do is put on a thick layer of foundation. Save the foundation for women over the age of thirty-five. All it is going to do is cover up your natural beauty. Foundation on ateenager is certainly not going to look natural. Instead, if you haveblemishes, then cover it up with some concealer and then follow it up with some tinted moisturizer or some loose powder
