4 lessons everyone should know about makeup

When your makeup goes on right, you will be on cloud nine, but there are days that putting on your liquid liner can take forever. Here are a few tips to help you get your makeup right; every time.

Invest in great tools – Expensive makeup brushes are well worth the cost as they will help you apply your makeup better. Here are the eight brushes you will need; Foundation brush, Concealer brush, Fluffy powder brush, Blush brush, Small blending brush, Flat eyeshadow brush, Precision angle brush and a Lip brush. Not only will your makeup glide on smoothly, but you will also use less makeup.

Mix primer with your foundation – If simplicity is key, look at mixing your foundation and primer to ensure you have a more natural look that still covers your imperfections. If you have oily skin, look at using a damp sponge to apply your foundation. The damp brush will apply less oil from the foundation on to your skin, making your skin less oily.

Conceal your flaws – If you want to conceal your flaws like acne, redness or dark circles look at applying opposite colors to the areas you want to change. For example, for redness look at green concealer and for dark circles look at orange concealer.

Flatter your face shape – Learn how to contour your face to enhance its shape and features. As a rule, remember that anything lighter in an area will make it more prominent and anything darker will make that area recede.
