Just some simple tips I have gathered along the way

During the day only use eyeliner on either your upper or lower lids, keep the total outline for nighttime

If you have small eyes line the bottom and the only line 1/4 of the upper lid going from the outside of the eye

Run a cotton swab over your liner to give a softer look

Do not extend the liner beyond the outer corner of your eyes

Your make-up should look natural

Less is more

Apply your blush at the top of your cheek bone and take it all the way back to your hair line

BLEND BLEND BLEND!

If you have small eyelids use 2 colors and put the darker of the two on the lid and very slightly above the crease, use the lighter shade from the crease up and BLEND at the crease

DO NOT match your make-up to your clothes match them to your skin tone

It does not matter how great your make-up skills are if you are not taking care of your skin

You will use less and it will last longer if you are taking care of your skin
