Makeup tips with beauty techniques:

1. Foundation is applied with an upward motion from the 
chin onwards with the tips of finger. 

2. For dry skin, it is neccessary to apply lycerine with 
a cotton wool swab before using foundation.

3. If your lower lip is protruding out, use dark shade 
lipstick in the middle of the lips and draw light 
outline.

4. Do not re-touch on a stale lipstick. It does not gives 
shine. Nor does it look even.

5. For oily skin a foundation cream without lanolin is 
useful. You can also use a vanishing cream as foundation.

6. For oily skin 'cake' foundation is good.

7. While choosing a face powder, take care to use the same 
shade or a lighter shade. Do not use a shade darker than 
the shade of your foundation.

8. Foundation should be a little darker than the shade of 
your natural complexion.

9. Cheek color. When applying blush use a darker shade to 
contour your face and "lift" your cheekbones. Apply from 
the earlobe downward to mid-cheek so you do not leave a 
"blob" of color on the cheek. Use light colors of blush to 
highlight.

10. Eye makeup. When applying eyeshadow, remember that dark 
colors recede features and light colors highlight. Apply the 
lightest shade over the entire eyelid. Apply the medium shade 
on the lower eyelid. Apply the darkest shade in the outer 
corner of the eye to create depth. Apply eyeliner with short 
strokes, starting form the center of the eye and working 
towards the corners. 

11. Make Your Face Look Slimmer. Apply your usual foundation 
make-up or powder to cover any imperfections and even out 
your skin tone. Apply the lighter shade of blush in circular 
motions onto the apples of your cheeks. how do you to find 
your apples? Just smile! Next, following the line of your 
cheekbones, apply a heer sweep of the deeper shade of blush. 
Blend, blend and blend. The key with this trick is to create 
dimension, but you do not want a very obvious demarcation 
between your natural cheek color and the blush. Sweep a small 
amount of the lighter shade across your nose and/or forehead 
as desired to add an extra "glow" to your complexion. 

12. Make-up timeline. To ensure your eyes stay healthy and 
free of infection when using make-up, heed the following 
due-date rules. Throw out your mascara after three months, 
powder eye shadows every nine to 18 months, and cream eye 
shadows every six to 12 months. Sharpen your eyeliners often 
to keep them clean. 

13. Mascara mistakes. To avoid mascara flake-off or smudging 
on your face, apply a thin cost of mascara to top lashes only. 
Then run an eyelash brush through lashes to prevent clumpy 
mascara build-up. 

14. Get a rosy glow. Want your face to radiate a healthy glow? 
Try using a gel blush or cream (instead of powder) in a rosy 
shade of pink to create a more natural look. Gels or creams 
are more transparent and blend smoothly rub it on the apples 
of your cheek and blend up towards the eye for a glowing 
complexion. 

15. Minute manicure. Need a fast fix for unpolished nails? 
File nails into a square shape, buff them to create a bit of 
shine and apply a clear coat of polish. Next rub in cuticle 
oil around the edges of the nail and moisturize your whole 
hand. It takes less than 15 minutes and will give your 
appearance a polished look. 

16. Brow etiquette. The trend in eyebrows for this season is 
natural looking, not sparse and skinny. Use a tinted brow 
definer or eyeshadow to fill in scanty brows. 

17. Eye/lip pencil care. Before sharpening your eyeliner or 
lip pencil, place them in the freezer for 10 minutes. They 
will harden slightly and not break when sharpened. 

18. Eyeliner hint. Women with deep-set eyes should use liquid 
liner instead of regular pencil eyeliner, to prevent smudging 
in the crease of the lid. Liquid liner does not smudge as
easily. 

19. Nail polish know-how. Is your nail polish from last season 
too thick? Chances are the polish has begun to thicken at the 
bottom of the bottle. Add a bit of nail polish thinner to the 
bottle to get the maximum use of your nail polish. 

20. Foundation tester. When picking out a concealer or 
foundation, always test the colour on the inside of your wrist. 
The skin there is the most unblemished and will give you a 
good idea of how it will look on your face. 

21. Extend your foundation. Want to extend the life of your 
foundation and cut down on heavy concealer? Mix a drop of it 
with your natural moisturizer to create a luminescent look for 
your skin. 

22. Curl your lashes. Before curling your eyelashes, heat the 
curler with a hair dryer for a few seconds. Test to make sure 
it is not too hot, then apply to eyelashes. The heat will lock 
in the curl on extra long eyelashes. 

23. Foundation secret. Apply foundation to your face AFTER you 
have done your eye make-up. This helps you to fix any last minute 
smudging from mascara or eyeliner under the eyes. 

24. Lipstick trick. Love matte lipstick, but feel your dry lips 
wreck the look? Apply a lip balm to lips before starting your 
make-up routine. By the time you have done your eyes and rest of 
the face, your lips will be moisturized and ready for the matte 
lipstick. 

25. Manicure tip. If you have been sloppy applying nail polish, 
simply soak nails (when dry) in warm water for a few minutes and 
then rub off extra nail polish gently with a finger.
