When choosing your foundation colour that suits you, always match it to your neck / chest as it is these areas that are exposed to the sun more. This will ensure you maintain the one colour.

It is much easier to apply all of your eye makeup first before your foundation so you can clean up any fall out or excess with a wet cloth/wipe for precision without altering your foundation!

The best way to apply mascara is by gently shaking the wand from side to side while carefully blinking into the mascara wand.

When creating a dark bold eye shadow, compliment in with a nude lip instead of a bold intense lip.

When applying false lashes to yourself or others, always ensure the band is not longer than the width of your eyelid, if it is simply trim it to size!

It is important to remember to deep cleanse you brushes to remove any unwanted excess makeup and any bacteria that has formed over time!
