Clean your skin - the process of applying your makeup must start with clean skin. Applying makeup to skin that is dirty and/or has on yesterday’s makeup will only clog your pores and hurt your skin.
Close attention when applying mascara - get a hand mirror, hold it down by your nose and look into it. This allows you to see the root all the way to the tips of your eyelashes, and gives you the best length possible for applying your mascara. Definitely use mascara - you’ll find that great lashes make a huge difference!
Use liquid eyeliner - liquid eyeliner is ALWAYS better. If you really have a problem holding your hand steady and you can’t therefore apply liquid eyeliner properly, then use the most expensive eyeliner pencil that you can afford. Cheap pencils become faint too easily and will smudge after even an hour.
Be original - try to do something different with some aspect of your makeup. Whether on the cheeks, lips, eyes or elsewhere, just try to do something different, something that stands out AND looks good.
Use unusual lipstick - try to find a shade of lipstick that everyone else isn’t wearing.
