There are lots of dos and don’ts that you should keep in mind when you’re applying your makeup. Let’s look at a short list of the most important ones.
Do
Do play up your best features! Long eyelashes are to beautiful eyes what short skirts are to great legs.
Do use a light hand. Remember you can always add more makeup if you need it.
Do blend! There should be no “stripes” on your face. You’re a lady, not a quarterback.
Do adjust the amount of make up to the time of day. Less for day, more for night.
Do use clean tools to do the job. Nothing is worse than using a dirty brush on a clean face.
Do cover your clothes with a towel/cape before full makeup. You don’t want to get messed up.
Do practice and try new things. That’s how you get better!
Don’t
Don’t go overboard. No need to wear layer upon layer of makeup. Clowns are cute but only at the circus!
Don’t focus on more than one feature at a time. Going for a strong lip? Then go easy on the eyes and vice versa too.
Don’t think that makeup will hide all your problems. If you have skin issues like acne, work on clearing it up before you wear makeup regularly.
Don’t fall into the trend trap. Just because you saw it in a beauty and style magazine doesn’t make it right for you!
Don’t wear what you don’t love. Don’t let the lady at the beauty counter convince you that you look great when you think you look like a “hot mess”.
Learning good makeup application tips isn’t hard. It’s 20% skill and 80% practice. As long as you stay far away from the no-no’s you’ll be fine! If you’re not satisfied with your work, just wash your face and start over!
