Makeup Tips For Your Eyes
To open up your eyes and
create
the illusion of larger eyes, apply a white or cream eyeliner
around your inner rim.

Never apply moisturizer to your eyelids before you apply eyeshadow. They are the oiliest part of your face and it will cause your eyeshadow to crease and not last as long. Use primer instead.
If you use eyeshadow as a brow tint, it should match the exact shade of your existing brow hair.
Don't wear really shiny eyeshadows.
Don't wear rainbow-style eyeshadow designs.
You don't have to wear makeup to match your clothing. Choose what looks best on you to bring out your beauty.

Makeup Tips For Your Lips
When
choosing lipstick, size does matter. Paler colors will
illuminate and make your lips appear fuller. Darker colors
have a minimizing effect making your lips appear smaller.
Dark lip colors will age you, warmer and more colorful lipsticks will make you appear younger.
Lightly exfoliate and always moisturize your lips before applying color. Your lipstick will glide on easier and have more staying power.
Don't overdraw your lipline when applying lipliner. It is always noticeable especially if you are using lipstick that is not close to your natural lip color.
When outlining your lips with a lip pencil, blend it inwards so that when your lipstick wears off you are not left with just an outline. It will also help your lipstick to last longer.

Makeup Tips For Applying Foundation, Blush and Concealing
Less is best
Yellow based shades look healthier and more natural.
Your foundation should match the skin exactly so there are no lines of demarcation.
Concealer should be only a shade or two lighter than the foundation. If it is too light it will draw attention to what you are trying to cover.
Powder should match the foundation exactly or go on translucent so as not to affect the color of your foundation.
Blush should be used to add color and life to your face not to highlight or contour for cheekbone definition.
The first place you apply blush will receive the most color as your brush has the most blush on it at that point. So blending is vital.
Don't wear clashing blush and lipstick. Make sure they are in the same color family.
