  9. My tips are 1. clean your brushes faithfully & replace when needed
    2. start with a light application; you can always add more

    2. Use ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS a day moisturizing cream with SPF protection
    3. If you decide to realize a strong eye make up don't focus on the lips with a dark or flaming lipstick! If the eyes are strong you have to stay natural with the lips and the other way round! ;)

  28. 1) Clean your make-up brushes every two weeks.
    2) Research before buying make-ups. It really helps especially when you're in a dilemma of what to purchase.
    3) Take note of every make-up's expiration date. You don't wanna ruin your skin because of this. Just remember, the more liquid the product, the easier it is to expire.

  37. ❀ Tips ❀
    1.) Educate yourself!: Watch videos on YouTube.So many wonderful and amazing beauty gurus are there to tell you about beauty techniques.Learn about application tools and what they are used for. Learn about your skin tone and face shape. Learn about what shades and colors work for you.

    2.) Experiment!: Practice almost always makes perfect! Play around with your makeup on days when you aren't going anywhere; that way if you mess up or don't like what you end up with, no one has to see you. You can LEARN how to apply makeup all you want, but if you don't practice the techniques, you will never KNOW how to apply it and it just won't look good on you.

    3.) When you are a beginner, less IS more!: Start out with learning techniques using neutral colors close to your skin tone. Once you have the general application techniques down, start experimenting with things that are more than basic. Overall always have fun with it of course! :D

  39. 1. Get a set of brushes. The right tools make a huge difference. Not necessarily expensive, but the right shape etc.
    2. YouTube can be an amazing resource, it taught me so much!
    3. Experiment! You would be surprised at the things you end up loving that you never thought you would. A good way is to ask for samples so you aren't out $$ if you don't like it. The great thing about makeup, you can always wipe it off and start over!
